In October, it was Chances Maple Ridge gaming centre opening on Lougheed Highway. In November, U.S. giant Target opens its doors on the main drag in downtown Maple Ridge, on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

The Maple Ridge Target, just more than 111,000 sq. feet, is one of 33 stores opening across Canada, completing the change over from Zellers, as the U.S. company moves north of the border.

The new store is helping downtown turn into a “vibrant and lively” place, said Ineke Boekhorst, with the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association.

Like most Targets, the Maple Ridge location will have a Starbucks coffee shop.

‘Make biking to work safer’ New Maple Ridge bike lane cost $1 million

by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

More people would bike to work in Maple Ridge if they felt safer doing so, say local cyclists.

The problem is both the attitudes of motorists, and a lack of infrastructure to keep cyclists from sharing the roads with vehicles.

“You would be surprised how

many people bike to work, and more people would,” asserts Barry Lyster, the owner of Local Ride Bike Shop.

He practices what he preaches, and rides to work every day, so he has a qualified opinion as he talks about the amount of traffic, the “nature” of that traffic, and its effect on cycling commuters.

“People are driving more aggressively, talking on cell phones and not paying attention, and that’s the reason most people don’t [bike to work].”

WestCoast Express and rides into Vancouver every day, and often complains about cars passing so close they almost brush against her.

“There are lots of times Lyster when you feel threatened, and people cut you off,” said Lyster.

Bike to Work Week in Vancouver

is from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3. Vancouver has seen a 40 per cent increase in bike commuters since 2008, according to surveys by the cycle group HUB. It also found that urban commuters on bikes can make their trips in comparable times to vehicles Lyster said improving traffic flow is critical to making cycling safer in Maple Ridge, along with more bike lanes and designated safe cycling routes.

That has been the mantra of Jackie Chow, who represents HUB: Your Cycling Connection locally.

New Maple Ridge heritage plan ready Still doesn’t include money or location for a new museum

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge is soon to have a blueprint for saving its history as growth continues, thanks to the Community Heritage Commission Heritage Plan.

Council had its first look at the plan last week and will review it after language has been adjusted.

The plan replaces an 18-year-old document and will stay in place until 2020.

“I think it’s going a ways down the road to identify what we have and what we can do to preserve it,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

The plan will set out direction for Maple Ridge’s community heritage commission and offers a work schedule for the next seven years. Next year will focus on creating a communications strategy that will use a variety of media.

“Maple Ridge has a very solid program,” for heritage preservation, consultant Donald Luxton told council.

The year after that, 2015, Maple Ridge’s heritage inventory will be updated, reflecting the fact that some sites have been torn down while new potential sites have been identified.

In 2016, a review of the strategies and incentives for heritage preservation takes place, followed the next year by a focus on Canada’s 150th birthday.

In the last two years of the plan, the commission will strengthen ties with community groups and make historic information more accessible.

Some of the goals of the new plan include defining a clear pathway to achieving a heritage vision, inspiring public participation and awareness about saving heritage and identifying any gaps that get in the way of preserving the past.

Maple Ridge’s heritage planning dates back

THE NEWS/files

Summer students prepare items for a move to a new storage facility from the Maple Ridge Museum this past summer. to 1979 with the designation of Haney House on 224th Street as a heritage site.

According to the heritage plan, preserving old buildings is “inherently sustainable” because it maintains existing land uses and infrastructure. Preserving the past also spurs tourism and enhances cities as their population densities increase.

Maple Ridge currently has a heritage register with 28 properties listed.

Once on the register, if an owner wants to demolish a building, he or she has to first notify the district and wait several weeks to see if alternatives to demolition can be found.

There is also a larger heritage inventory that lists historically valuable buildings. However, there’s no legal protection afforded such properties.

A smaller list of 10 designated heritage sites, such as the Bill Miner Pub and Haney House, all have bylaws requiring their preservation, some with heritage revitalization agreements

allowing rebuilding in return for tax breaks.

The plan, though, points out that the incentives to preserve old buildings are “minimal” and are not resulting in more heritage designated sites and says the district could offer more incentives.

While council’s expected to pass the plan at its next meeting, it likely will be a while before that is coupled with a strategy for a new Maple Ridge Museum and Archives.

In 2004-2005, a consultant was hired and a design done for a new museum on the district-owned lot on 224th Street, just north of Haney House.

Nothing’s happened since and a new museum, pegged almost a decade ago at $6 million, still has not made it on to the district’s five-year capital plan.

Heritage commission chairman Craig Speirs said a museum can be an economic driver for a community, attracting people who want to learn about an area.

Library book was 77 years late Maple Ridge library agrees to waive penalty

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

A

library book 77 years overdue was returned to the Maple Ridge library two weeks ago.

Retired elementary school teacher Karen McLaren discovered the tome while cleaning out her house.

The Double Chance, by J.S. Fletcher, was borrowed from the Fraser Valley Public Library on February 10, 1936 by her grandfather, Raleigh

McLaren.

Luckily, the library waived its overdue fine.

“We were quite taken aback by it,” said community librarian Jo-Ann Sleiman, adding that the book won’t be returned to a shelf.

“It’s really old and falling apart. If it had been returned, it probably would have been weeded out of the collection years and years ago. It’s not really in great shape, but that’s understandable after all these years.”

The McLarens were a pioneer family in Maple Ridge. Raleigh McLaren’s parents moved to the district from England. He went on to serve in both World

Wars and passed away in 1960.

Sleiman thinks the book was most likely borrowed from one of the mobile library trucks that travelled the valley.

The detective novel is the longest overdue book returned to the library. It’s been shipped to the Fraser Valley Regional Library headquarters, where it will most likely be put on display with a little reminder that it’s never too late to return an overdue book.

The book, held by Librarian Erin Atkinson holds the book – The Double Chance, by J.S. Fletcher – was borrowed in 1936.

“We have a good story. Ninety-nine per cent of our goods are in storage. We can’t tell our story.”

He said if the 224th Street location isn’t used, money from selling that property could pay for part of the construction costs for a museum elsewhere.

“As long as it’s in town and it’s accessible, that’s the bottom line.”

The cramped quarters in the 100-yearold house in the former brickyard along the Haney Bypass only allows for display of about three per cent of the museum’s heritage inventory.

“We are so constrained in our ability to share this stuff with the community because there’s nowhere to give them access to it,” museum director Val Patenaude said.

And she’s not sure if that’s a good location anymore.

“I think we should seriously consider a location closer to the centre.”

A new museum should be close to a bus station and parking to allow more visitors, making such a project more viable, she said.

One location could be next to Memorial Peace Park next to the new Target parking lot.

Mayor Ernie Daykin, though, said that’s not likely.

“It would be a really tough sell, I think,” said Daykin. “That space is so well used now.

We’re not going to get any more green space.”

Daykin suggested he location of the former Haney Bingo Plex, if it is redeveloped, just as an example.

“Maybe there’s a way we work that into some sort of redevelopment process.”

But council has yet to find the money to build a new museum.

“I don’t know when we can have that chat about getting it into the capital plan.”

The district also owns three acres along Selkirk Avenue at 226th Street which it’s trying to sell, but Patenaude said she hadn’t thought about that as a museum site.

“I think there’s always been support for us … more so on council than senior staff,” who prefer to spend money on police, fire and soccer fields, she added.

Fire destroys roof of Tamarack house

by Monisha M ar t ins staff reporter

Fire destroyed the roof of a Maple Ridge house Friday afternoon.

The blaze started around 3:20 p.m. on the back deck of the house on Tamarack Lane, near 234th Street in the Kanaka Creek area.

The fire was spotted by a neighbour who knocked on the door to alert the homeowner.

By the time fire trucks

the

arrived, flames had already climbed up the wall and spread into the attic .

Assistant fire chief Mark Smitton said the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but added it was not suspicious.

“The whole roof and wiring needs replacing,” said Smitton.

“The crews did a good job putting covers over the contents to prevent water damage.”

It will also receive gold certification under the green building energyefficiency rating system known as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Sixty-eight Targets in Canada already have that certification.

Some of the features that will save energy include bike racks, to encourage cyclists, use of paints and sealants with low emissions of volatile organic compounds, while materials used inside also are low-emitting materials intended to foster healthy interior spaces.

Washrooms will use low-flow devices to reduce water consumption, while the store itself is a renovation and expansion of the old Zeller’s building, which further reduces the environmental footprint when compared with putting up an entirely new building.

About 115 people will work at the new store, with another 20 brought in for the Christmas season.

The store opening coincides with the start of interior renovations at Haney Place Mall. That entails replacing floors,

and installing new ceilings and lighting, and modernizing store fronts.

Target spokesman Lisa Gibson says the company has addressed earlier criticism of merchandise shortages during the first round of store openings in Canada. “This wave of stores is in a much better in-stock position than our first waves and we continue to be focused on effectively replenishing the store,�

Gibson said in an e-mail. “Opening 124 stores in one year is unprecedented and the stores get better and better with each wave of openings as we understand how our guests shop our stores, build a historical database for better forecasting and as we continue to fine tune our processes. “ Target also says it can compete on prices and will be “in line with the lowest price leader.�

Thirty-one store locations are scheduled to open on Nov. 13, and the remaining two locations will open on Nov. 22, completing Target’s Canadian store openings for 2013.

The Maple Ridge store is one of 124 opening in 2013.

The News/opinion News Views

Senate scandal The ongoing Senate scandal has certainly done its share of damage – to the prime minister, the Conservative Party, the institution of the Senate and politicians, in general.

The damage may not spread past that group, but it is significant and it may be lasting.

The Senate is certainly at its low point. It has never been popular with Canadians, being seen as a repository for bagmen, party hacks and failed politicians. While a few individual senators have done important and significant work, as a whole, the institution does little of lasting importance.

Now it has clearly been shown that many senators, and this goes far beyond Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau, have had their hands in the cookie jar. Even when they get caught, the Senate and indeed the prime minister do little or nothing to change the culture of entitlement, which is widespread through the federal government.

It isn’t just politicians who feel they are entitled to benefits that most other Canadians don’t get.

Public servants have clauses in their contracts relating to sick leave, indexed pensions, severance and extended health care that most others can only dream of.

The prime minister first took office in 2006 on a pledge to reform the Senate. It is now clear he has no idea of how to do so. A court decision in Quebec has basically ruled all his reform ideas cannot be implemented, and the court decision implies that the Senate will never be abolished, unless most provinces agree.

Even if, in the court of public opinion, Stephen Harper is cleared of direct knowledge of off-thebooks payments to senators, the public won’t soon forget that he appointed these three senators, and that he campaigned vigorously on Senate reform.

As for the Conservative Party, in the next election its fortunes are totally tied to Mr. Harper. If he falters, so does the party. It has no plan B. – Black Press

Perils of an ‘entitlement state’ VICTORIA – With the B.C. and federal governments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book Tax Me, I’m Canadian.

An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book B.C. Views retains the history of Tom Fletcher taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century.

Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” protests.

Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. But the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.”

Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware that our supposedly tight-fisted Conservative federal government has continued to pour out

“regional development” and other funds to every part of the country.

But I did not know that Industry Canada grants were handed out to pizza parlours (including the remote pizzastarved village of Kamloops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelowna, Vernon and Chilliwack.

Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource rents, and if they are too high, the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a subsidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done.

On the Occupy movement: The infamous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20 per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all.

On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence played to the Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested a nearby diamond mine should share more revenue.

Milke omits the substantial support and employment that mining provides, and glosses over the misguided blockades that disrupted that and other job-creating enterprises. But he does detail the disastrous effects of passive resource wealth bestowed on impoverished aboriginal communities, and contrasts it with the success stories of reserves that build their own enterprises through hard work.

On public sector pensions: Milke notes that, historically, public employees traded

higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages), as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support.

“For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”

On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”

The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that.

The News/letters

Democracy, one Difficult to keep a secret today small step at a time T Editor, The News: Re: Problems in the world bigger than pot and breasts (Letters, Oct. 23).

I’m not sure if Cherryl Katnich realizes that in Canada we all live in a democracy, where new ideas, as small as they sometimes may seem, are the way society moves forward, one small step at a time.

I agree, there are major problems in the world. Starvation & poverty could be blamed on multinational corporations, institutions, and influential people who need poverty to remain rich. As for genocide & wars, blame religion & human natures desire for power & money. Perhaps to ban religion, heavily tax the rich and ban large corporations like Walmart would solve the worlds problems, not likely.

Cannabis in Canada was deemed illegal in 1923, based on no real research or evidence. International pressure keeps it that way, even in this day and age 90 years later.

Medical marihuana use is not the issue here. It’s the fact that as a tax paying society, we are wasting money on enforcing cannabis. How much time and money does it cost to investigate a grow-op? How much money do we waste in the court system charging an individual with simple possession? This money could be spent enforcing real crimes.

If we taxed marijuana, how much $ annually could we bring in as a province? Could that $ not go helping the many people already suffering from addiction & other social issues that our province currently ignores?

I certainly hope this armchair author will not let her hindsight bias get in the way of progression.

• Val Patenaude · museum director at Maple Ridge Historical Society: Re: Tweet thereafter (mapleridgenews.com).

In my opinion, tweeting or posting during a meeting that you are a participant in is rude. Period. Outside of that, as long as people clearly identify themselves and are prepared to take the consequences for things perhaps said in haste and later regretted, I’m fine with it.

• Katherine Wagner: Re: Tweet thereafter (mapleridgenews.com).

I don’t have a problem with the editorial. It’s opinion and is clearly presented as such. It highlights one perspective about a narrow slice of the larger issue of social media use by elected representatives, which is part of the even more important issue of communication by and with our elected representatives. It adds to the discussion and debate which will continue because social media is a fact of modern life and some members of council (and a significant part of the public, I expect) still need to get their heads around the idea of using it effectively as a communication tool.

At the same time, I understand that council does not currently have a social media policy and Coun. Corisa Bell’s intention in raising the issue was much broader than “... using social media during meetings.”

I am hoping to see in print a detailed letter to the editor from Coun. Bell, clarifying her concerns (assuming she submits one).

I think we need traditional media in addition to social media. They serve two different fundamental functions, though both benefit from the existence of the other, in my opinion.

Heard stories, trouble with social media, anyone can post anything,perhaps only stories they heard.

• Carman Neustaedter: Re: Tweet thereafter (mapleridgenews.com).

Many federal politicians use social media as a key communications tool with the public.

he controversy over the U.S. National Security Agency listening to personal telephone calls made to and from German Chancellor Angela Merkl’s private cellphone is revealing.

Merkl and other European leaders are outraged. They are staunch U.S. allies, or they were until this controversy erupted.

They say this is no way to treat your friends.

For Merkl personally, this level of snooping is a reminder of her upbringing in East Germany, where agents of the state routinely tapped telephones and listened to private conversations. People were paid to report on their friends’ and relatives’ activities. All of this was done in the pre-internet and pre-cellphone era.

Merkl has been one of the best European leaders in a generation and recently won impressive election victories in Germany. She is well-regarded by her countrymen and by most Europeans.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama is trying to distance himself from personal involvement in this scandal. The White House is saying he did not know that Merkl’s cellphone was being intercepted by agents of the U.S. government.

Obama is using the same type of

political defence that Prime Minister Stephen Harper is using in regard to the $90,000 cheque written by Nigel Wright, his former chief of staff. Both are saying they had no “direct” or “personal” knowledge.

Obama is being Commentary disingenuous.

Frank Bucholtz There is no question that people who report directly to the president know which world leaders are being spied on. And as Norman Spector, a former top aide in Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s office, said Monday, it is entirely possible that Harper himself is being spied on in some fashion by one arm of the U.S. security apparatus.

This level of paranoia isn’t anything new in the security establishment, as is illustrated by the East German example cited above.

However, in an age of increasing connectedness through the internet, email and social media, it’s never been easier to keep tabs on people — particularly

when you have an unlimited budget at your disposal.

Cellphone conversations are also easier to intercept, as they do not require wires, and the bugging equipment available today is very sophisticated.

It is very hard to keep secrets these days. Most of us are connected through the internet in some way, and many of us are deeply connected in many ways.

Even for those few who do not have any internet presence, have never sent an email and do not own cellphones, it is easier than ever for one or another government agency to keep tabs on you. The government has a great deal of information at the tip of employees’ fingertips, via its computer databases.

As a former customs officer, I have noted the vast change in the quantity of information available to officers when we cross the border, either into the U.S. or back into Canada. When I worked there, we had no easy way to trace a licence number, nor did we know when a vehicle had actually crossed the border.

All that information and much more is in front of the officer we speak to at the border.

Frank Bucholtz is editor of the Langley Times, a Black Press affiliate.

Shocked even having tweeting talk Editor, The News: Re: ‘Don’t tweet while meeting’ (The News, Oct. 25).

I’m not exactly sure which I find sillier, the fact that an elected official thinks it should be okay to tweet or post to Facebook during council meetings, or that this news publication felt this was a story worthy of the front page.

When council meets, whether it’s in public or private, it is functioning in the same way any corporation, or other type of official organization, functions and should follow the same rules and protocols.

The mayor and councillors, as well as any administrator or municipal employee present, should not be fiddling with their cell phones, tablets or laptops in any way other than perhaps taking notes or viewing pertinent documents.

Even high school students get in trouble, or at least should, for tweeting or messaging on their phones

during class.

I’m shocked that we would even be having this conversation in the media, and, once again, I implore our elected officials to get back to the real business of running our community and paying attention to the job at hand.

If you want to tweet or Facebook from council chambers, then wait until you’re back sitting in the public gallery again with the rest of us.

Old fashioned Editor, The News: Re: ‘Don’t tweet while meeting’ (The News, Oct. 25).

I read the editorial comment in Friday’s News and agree totally with your views.

I attend many council meetings and workshops and believe this is a time for listening and concentrating on the discussion and topic at hand. I quietly

take notes on what is being said by the councilors. My cell phone is turned off.

I guess I’m old fashioned in this respect.

Your points are right on: she is wrong about using social media during meetings, it is disrespectful and distracting to do so, and how can one properly engage in a conversation if his or her head is down, typing something on their phones?

So, true.

Coun. Corisa Bell should be carefully listening and taking notes to the debate and views of all the various opinions being represented.

I don’t see how one would have the time to be on a cell phone during these important discussions.

I certainly don’t.

Councillors should focus on the job they are being paid to do, and show due respect to others and their opinions while attending these meetings.

You made fun of slippery slope of assisted suicide?

Editor, The News: There was a cartoon on the opinion page recently, where the cartoonist made fun of the “slippery slope” of assisted suicide.

I am deeply troubled by the lack of common sense of something that is very real. I saw a documentary about a Dutch man who signed a final will, saying that he wanted his wife to help him with assisted suicide when his quality of life deteriorated below a certain level.

So then he became old and bedridden with dementia. It was so bad that he could not even speak any more.

He could shake his head, though. So the wife says that she wants to carry out the assisted suicide.

Then the doctor asks the man if he wants to die. So this man shakes his head. He cannot talk, but the doctor repeatedly asks him if he wants to die and every time he shakes his head.

So he had a change of mind.

But there is a problem now because the wife insists that his life quality is at that stage and he would have wanted to commit assisted suicide.

So what now? Do they put the man down? Is this the slippery slope you made fun of?

Let’s assume we institute assisted suicide here and at first there needs to be a written consent from the person to carry out that request.

Then we ‘slide,’ and say, ‘no, we don’t require a written consent, an oral consent is good

enough.

Then I make friends with a person and we go out for a beer and coffee for a few times.

He tells me he discovered an abnormal growth that is very painful and shows all the symptoms of cancer, and he does not want to fight it. He wants me to assist him with his suicide.

So I do.

Is this the slippery slope you made fun of?

Haunted house, fireworks in Albion

by Neil Corbet t staff reporter

Ghost Ridge goes out with a bang tonight.

A fireworks display will put the exclamation point on the 2013 version of Maple Ridge’s community Halloween house, which has been open nightly since Friday.

The Timeline of Terror haunted house is once again open from 6-9 p.m., and the annual community fireworks are set to fire off

at 7 p.m.

Organizers have received enough sponsorship to offer an impressive $10,000 light display.

It is held at the Albion Fairgrounds, at 23500105th Avenue, off the Lougheed Highway.

The cost is $8 for the haunted house, and proceeds benefit local non-profit organizations whose members get involved in organizing the community event.

This Halloween the

Maple Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club, the Invitius Alliance (LARP), the Ridge Meadows Bruins Rugby ladies team and the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Agricultural Association are the four groups assembling and staffing Ghost Ridge.

Last year, the community clubs all received approximately $5,000 each.

There are also 61 high school students involved. They have been through auditions, and

some have major roles, while others might help with makeup and costumes or food services.

The Lions club is also on hand, offering concessions to families that want to have their dinner at the fairgrounds.

• For more information see www. ghostridge.org or w w w. f a c eb o o k . c o m / ghostridge. There are photographs from past year’s haunted houses, so parents can gauge the level of creepiness in store.

had pop cans thrown at her, and other Hub members have similar reports.

“Some people are not very nice.”

Compared with Europe, Canadian cities are not accommodating to cyclists, and change is slow.

“Cycling infrastructure here is always an afterthought,” she said.

In Maple Ridge, where there is no room for cyclists to be on the road, they are legally permitted to cycle on sidewalks with due care and attention.

But this simply serves to force a cyclist to weave around garbage cans, trees, sandwich board signs and pedestrians. “…You do need to make it not only safer, but also more convenient, more pleasant, more direct and more comfortable for people to convince them to hop on their bikes instead of in the car,” said Chow. “And the best way to do that is to give people on bikes, of all ages and abilities, their own, safe space on – preferably – separated paths, or otherwise on the road, but not on the sidewalk.”

Chow added that more can be done to promote combining cycling with transit. All TransLink buses have a bike rack in front, and they’re relatively easy to use. TransLink is now also starting to experiment with daily bike locker rentals, which will offer a lot more flexibility – currently they are only available for three-month leases.

She also thinks, where possible, bike lanes should be placed between sidewalks and parked cars, rather than between parked cars and traffic.

And, she would like to see a separate cycling and pedestrian master plan for Maple Ridge, as Pitt Meadows has done.

Pitt Meadows is great for cycling, and she said city hall continues to “chip away” at adding more bike lanes as it can. The dikes are also “wonderful for recreational cycling.”

Maple Ridge Coun.

Mike Morden, on the cycling advisory committee, said district staff, as they plan the community, try to keep traffic moving and avoid bottlenecks for commuters, most who are leaving the community.

Where they can, they take advantage of funding for bike lanes offered by senior government, but members of the public are also critical of spending on this infrastructure, and he agreed the cost is “astronomical.”

He noted the bike lane from Laity Street to 216th is a $1 million project.

“It’s part of trying to have east-west connectivity,” he said.

Morden noted there are now approximately 60 km of bike lanes in Maple Ridge.

Metro Vancouver politicians get pay raise Regional district boosts meeting fees to $354

by Jef f Nage l Black Press

Metro Vancouver directors have received a 2.3 per cent increase in the meeting fees they collect – retroactive to the start of the year.

Metro directors are now paid $354 for every regional district board or committee meeting they attend, up from $346 in 2012. The fees double if a meeting runs longer than four hours.

The salary paid by Metro to the board chair – Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore – also rose 2.3 per cent to $70,865, while vice-chair Raymond Louie is paid half that amount. All the stipends and fees are in addition to what local cities pay their mayors and councillors.

The regional politicians didn’t vote on the pay hike – the increases are calculated by Metro staff according to a formula set out in a bylaw.

The chair and vice-chair salaries and the meeting fees are all pegged to the median of Metro Vancouver mayors’ salaries, so if several cities increase their mayors’ pay, the Metro fees also climb.

Most cities recalibrate their mayors’ pay each year, some based on a similar regional median or average, and some are pegged to the negotiated increase of unionized staff.

Top paid mayors in the region, according to Metro’s figures, are Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson at $152,756, Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan at $139,206, Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart at $133,741, Surrey’s Dianne Watts at $130,533 and Delta’s Lois Jackson at $128,701. Those figures all include the base salary plus car allowance and any other taxable benefits.

In 2012, in addition to their city salaries, Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters made $18,502 for attending meetings as a Metro director and billed for $71 in expenses, while Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin made $23,732 and claimed

Hope for TLink referendum While Metro Vancouver mayors say it’s up to the province to decide the wording of its promised referendum question on new TransLink funding, Transportation Minister Todd Stone sees it as more of a combined effort.

Stone believes there is still good will among most of the mayors to reach an agreement on changes to TransLink governance, proposed new funding sources and a referendum to approve them.

He wants that deal hammered out by Christmas.

Mayors, who voted in the spring to oppose a referendum many view as unwinnable, have insisted it’s the prov-

$1,166 in expenses.

Walter’s alternate as director Coun.

Bruce Bell got $1, 048 from Metro, while Maple Ridge alternate Coun. Judy Dueck got $3,500.

Moore said pay for politicians’ service at the regional level can’t fall behind and Metro’s approach ensures that directors don’t directly vote on their own pay hikes.

“Those are the rules that we live in,” he said. “We’ve tried to do it as fairly and transparently as we can and this is what we’ve come up with.”

Moore said the calculation based on mayors’ pay is performed once every three years. For the next two years, the meeting fees and Metro salaries will instead climb by the rate of inflation.

Metro Vancouver paid out a total of $870,000 in remuneration to its directors last year, plus $60,690 in expenses.

Metro directors fees have climbed 40 per cent over the past five years, from $253 per meeting in 2008.

Top paid Metro directors Top paid Metro directors in 2012: • Greg Moore (Port Coquitlam Mayor and Metro board chair) – $72,372, plus 18,638 expenses; • Maria Harris (Electoral area director) – $46,342, plus $1,963 expenses; • Raymond Louie (Vancouver councillor and Metro vice-chair) – $41,950, plus $5,845 expenses; • Malcolm Brodie (Richmond Mayor) – $31,394, plus $617 expenses; • Derek Corrigan (Burnaby Mayor) – $29,048, plus $366 expenses; • Wayne Wright (New Westminster Mayor) – $28,902, plus $17,009 expenses; • Gayle Martin (Langley City councillor) – $27,834, plus $3,219 expenses; • Heather Deal (Vancouver councillor) – $26,801, plus $2,477 expenses; • Richard Walton (North Vancouver District Mayor) – $26,505, plus $731 expenses. ince’s problem to figure out since it was an election promise of the premier and neither the mayors’ council nor TransLink has any jurisdiction of its own to lead a referendum.

Critical to any deal is the demand of mayors that they get more say on the spending priorities of TransLink – currently under the sole control of the unelected board – rather than merely being asked to approve tax hikes.

Stone said improvements sought by Metro residents, such as rapid transit extensions or an improved bus network, will only get done if an agreement is reached on new funding for TransLink.

The referendum is supposed to be no later than November 2014.

They lurched and stumbled throughout downtown Friday afternoon in such numbers that organizers of Maple Ridge’s first Zombie Walk didn’t get a chance to choose whose getup and makeup was the freakiest.

So the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association is still accepting photos of zombies for its Zombie of the Year contest.

Once all the entries are in, organizers will award six prizes of $25 gift certificates from downtown businesses.

The Zombie Walk began at Valley Fair Mall and wound its way through Haney Place Mall to

224th Street, then back along Lougheed Highway to the Dairy Queen, where the creatures received some treats.

The event drew a good mix of kids and adults, numbering about 350 in all, more than expected for the pre-Halloween event.

Registration was free with a donation to the Friends in Need Food Bank.

Ineke Boekhorst with the BIA, said people from Coquitlam and Mission even showed up, bringing people into the town centre.

“It was very well received. We’re happy with the turnout.”

Submitted photos will be on the BIA website so participants can check out other freaks.

Summer school costs to be reimbursed Successful class action lawsuit brought against school boards

by Neil Corbet t staff reporter

The settlement of a class action lawsuit means students who paid for summer school courses in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district in 2005 and 2006 are entitled to reimbursement.

The local school board is staying silent about how much that could cost the district.

The North Vancouver law firm Poyner Baxter issued a press release on Friday, advising that the B.C. Supreme Court has approved settlement of two class action lawsuits against B.C. school boards for the return of tuition fees paid for secondary summer school courses.

GREAT FOOD. GOOD TIMES.

In 2009, Sara Jiazi brought a class action suit against the Vancouver school board, seeking the return of fees paid for her child’s remedial science and English courses. Her suit said charging fees violated the School Act, which requires school boards to provide instruction free of charge for coursed needed for graduation.

In 2010, Debra Helem brought a similar action against 25 other school districts that also charged tuition for remedial and academic courses.

On Oct. 25, Madam Justice Dardi of the B.C. Supreme Court certified the Helem lawsuit as a class action, and also approved an agreement to settle the Helem and Riazi lawsuits.

“Parents who paid tuition to any other school board for summer school secondary level remedial and academic courses in 2005 and/or 2006 will also receive by mail from that board a claim form

allowing them to elect the same refund or credit for tuition in other courses offered by that board,” said the law firm’s press release.

A legal fee of 25 per cent plus taxes will be deducted from the refunds by the school boards, and paid to class counsel Poyner Baxter LLP. School District 42 confirmed that the lawsuit will effect the local district, but would not say how many students attended summer classes in 2005 and 2006, nor how much they paid.

“How much we can disclose is apparently limited by Clause 17 of the settlement agreement, which instructs that “no statement or press release of any kind will be made to the public regarding this settlement without the prior written approval of both parties,” said board spokesperson Irena Prochop.

“Legally, we can only confirm that there has been a court-approved

settlement agreement, and that we will, of course, be implementing that agreement in accordance with its terms. But we’re not able to address any specifics at this time.”

The board already had to deal with a $5.7 million budget shortfall for the 2013-2014 school year.

Errin Poyner of Poyner Baxter also said she is not permitted to make any public statement about the settlement itself.

However, she clarified “the reason only the 2005 and 2006 school years are included in the settlement is that the Limitations Act of B.C. only allowed us to go back six years from the date of filing of the lawsuit, which occurred on June 30, 2010. On June 30/04, all fees for the 2004 summer school term had already been paid. By 2007, the school districts had stopped charging for summer school. So, we were limited to the 2005 and 2006 years.”

Is Maple Ridge compassionate enough?

Maple Ridge could apply to become a compassionate community, if it cares enough.

According to a staff report, the International Campaign for Compassionate Cities is a global campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of caring for others.

The campaign sees compassion as a way of transforming cities, focusing on community, sustainability and civic engagement.

In a Compassionate City, business, government and the non-

profit sector would work to change how people relate to each other.

The initiative came from Maple Ridge’s social planning advisory committee. Funding has already been received from the district to allow the substance misuse prevention committee to turn Maple Ridge into a compassionate community.

The committee will try to create local understanding of the project by ensuring people know what it means to be compassionate, to promote 50 compassionate behaviours,

based on local history and to identify 10 people who will continue such work.

The final goal of the prevention committee, says a staff report, is “to build capacity for an evidenceinformed design called ‘Most Significant Change’ for community development work.”

Once the above project is complete, the social planning committee will recommend to council on whether to sign the Compassionate City Charter.

Annual concert for charity takes place in Pitt Meadows on sunday

Middle School.

“I wanted to go for a contrast between the two pieces. It’s kind of amazing how one instrument can create so many different moods and themes.”

The Rachmaninoff composition is inspired by Russian military music, with big chords and big harmonies.

Practicing for the concert has been a bit of a test, requiring Zhang to switch moods.

She usually gets her blood pumping and fingers flying with Rachmaninoff and winds down with the Chopin lullaby.

“I like that challenge,” says Zhang.

“I love playing this concert because you get to inspire people. You want to make a difference.”

hen she strikes the first few notes of Six Variations on Land of the Silver Birch, Nicole Lassetter hopes her audience is transported into a canoe, drifting down river.

As the blue lake gets choppy and wind whips waves along the rocky shore, the rhythm picks up.

The composition by Pierre Gallant is a favourite of Lassetter, who first sang the song with her class in Grade 1.

With lyrics based on a poem by First Nations poet Pauline Johnson, it’s pure Canadiana.

“It’s meant to be sung around a campfire or keep the beat while you are rowing a canoe,” the Pitt Meadows elementary student explains.

The 12-year-old will be performing the composition at Dan Wardrope’s 17th fall piano concert at Swan-e-Set Golf Club in Pitt Meadows on Sunday.

Since it began, the sell-out concert held annually in fall has raised more than $25,000 for charities, including the Friends In Need Food Bank, B.C. Cancer Foundation and World Vision, since 2005.

It features performances by students studying at Grade 10 or diploma level with

Lillian Zhang, 13 and Nicole Lassetter, 12, will be performing Sunday at an annual piano concert for charity. the Royal College of Music.

This year, the money raised will go to Free the Children.

Lassetter prefers playing modern compositions, pieces that speak to her heart and paint vivid pictures.

“I like more present pieces, newer songs that have a more contemporary feel,” says Lassetter, who has been practicing daily for

more than an hour to perfect Land of the Silver Birch.

Lillian Zhang will be performing at the annual concert for a third time.

The 13-year-old will play Chopin-Berceuse, a lullaby and a second piece from Rachmaninoff ’s Études.

“The lullaby is really pretty and just so peaceful,” says Zhang, a student at Citadel

Is that a shadow at the Pitt museum or something more?

Pacific Coast Paranormal Research and Investigation society seeks to explain the unexplainable

by Evan S eal Black Press

Contributed

Members of the Pacific Coast paranormal society are currently investigating strange happenings at the Pitt Meadows museum.

Got ghosts?

If you have ever wondered if that strange noise or unexplained circumstance in your home or business means you may have a haunting on your hands – there’s a group of investigators who might be able to help.

Over the past four years, the Pacific Coast Paranormal Research and Investigation Society has probed claims of ghosts or unexplained phenomenon occurring in nearly 50 different sites across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

“We try to stick to a more scientific way of finding out what is happening,” said society co-founder Paul Stevens.

By using various pieces of equipment – including video cameras, still cameras, sound recorders, infra-red cameras, and temperature and magnetic

field sensors set up in a specific business or home – members of the society try to determine if sounds or images caught on film or digital memory cards are caused by something tangible, or are actual unexplainable phenomenon.

One of the members is a high school physics teacher who has been experimenting with room temperatures. During a recent investigation, he noticed a significant drop in room temperature by seven to eight degrees, then within seconds, it quickly rose back to normal. No windows or doors were opened, and no heaters or furnaces were turned off or on.

That case remains active.

The group has also been able to capture various round lights and “orbs” floating by the video cameras that so far can’t be explained by dust or insects flying.

Another current investigation involves a trip to the Pitt Meadows Museum and Archives, where the group noticed a shadowy figure in a window on one of the many cameras set up throughout the building. Members returned to the museum several times, trying to recreate that same image by having people walk past the window, stand in the window, and changing the lighting. But to no avail. see Ghosts, p17

Theatre to celebrate diversity Sign up for free workshops hosted by the Family Education centre Celebrate multicultural Canada with a series of theatre workshops next month, culminating in a performance at the ACT in Maple Ridge.

As part of its Welcoming Communities initiative, the Family Education and Support Centre will host the workshops for youth to explore themes of immigration, racism, and multiculturalism.

“Part of our work, connecting with people, is to explore and create dialogue about who they are,” says executive director Faye LuxemburgHyam. “Everyone looks at things differently, and youth, especially multicultural youth, are bursting to express what is precious and valuable in their culture in a novel way, while becoming a part of a new commu-

The centre provides awareness and education programs to the community through a variety of services to increase understanding of the rich cultural diversity that exists in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and the Katzie First Nations.

“In the workshops, we will explore and teach our youth participants various theatre techniques, such as improv, voice work, word play, and movement,” says instructor James Rowley.

“These techniques will create a safe, trusting environment to bring

Rowley, an instructor with Immigration Services Society, will be running the workshops and play creation with his partner, Leanne Koehn, under the banner of their award-winning theatre company One Night Castle Projects.

• The first free workshop takes place Thursday, Nov. 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Greg Moore Youth Centre.

Not like spooky reality shows on television Ghosts from p17

“We’ve tried everything, from using people of different heights and walking at different speeds, but we can’t match that photo,” said Stevens. “And the interesting thing is there is a white picket fence on the other side of the figure, and where the figure is standing is a giant potato planting machine from turn of the century.”

Stevens said for lack of a better word, he’s calling the figure a ghost, but he hasn’t given up

on finding another, more earthly, explanation.

Having worked as an electrical contractor for many years, Stevens is a self-proclaimed skeptic, always looking for plausible reasons for seemingly paranormal activity.

“I’ve been in lots of buildings, including prisons, I have never found something that was not explainable,” he said.

A few years ago, a lady contacted the society about her house possi-

bly being haunted. Her daughter had become very ill and one of her cats had died from unexplained circumstances.

After some research, Stevens was able to determine the problems were coming from huge piles of pigeon and rat excrement he found in the attic of her home.

“You really have to look at everything. It’s really not as easy and taking a few pictures and listening to recordings.”

And unlike what of-

ten appears on various spooky reality shows on TV, the work is not all adrenalin-inducing action.

Pacific Coast members usually spend days reviewing tapes. The hours watching film is a lot like watching paint dry, Stevens said.

“It’s very detailed work. It’s just not running around screaming.”

Fraser Valley Symphony kick off season The Fraser Valley Symphony begins its 30th anniversary season with “The Classics,” a concert featuring music by everpopular Viennese composers W.A. Mozart and Franz Schubert.

The symphony features two Maple Ridge musicians: Leanne Drewlo on violin and Susannah Blary on horn.

Guest soloist will be pianist Jane Hayes, per-

forming Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor, K 491. Since her debut with the Toronto Symphony, Hayes’ concerts have taken her across Canada, the United States Hayes and Europe.

Included in the program will be

two works

by Schubert, Overture in the Italian Style D 590 and Symphony No. 5 “The Little.”

The overture captured the popularity of Italian music in Vienna in 1816, and the symphony, com-

posed the same year, was strongly influenced by the music of Mozart, whom Schubert greatly admired.

The concert takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 3 at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford. Tickets will be sold at the door.

nless instructed otherwise, one of the first rules when entering a museum or gallery is simply – please do not touch.

Why? For another simple reason – objects are fragile and irreplaceable.

Yet, this rule will be starting to change in the next decade with the advancement of three-dimensional printing.

The era of the ‘please touch the museum’ is just around the corner, as I learned this past week while attending the British Columbia Museum Association annual museum conference in Parksville.

First, what is threedimensional printing?

It is the process of making a solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model.

The printing is achieved when layers of material are laid down in different shapes, through use of a laser.

The scanning of the digital model used for printing is most notably done through use of a hand-held scanner.

Although versions of this technology have existed for nearly three decades, recent trends in democratizing access for the average consumer, both in terms of price and learning, is making it so the technology is no longer out of reach.

What does this mean for museums?

From conservation to education, collections access to exhibitions, the opportunities seem endless for exploration within the walls of almost any museum.

Larger institutions, such as the Smithsonian in Wash., DC, have been leaders in

ence was how as a museum community, we can share assets.

As one institution cannot shoulder the cost alone, what if it became a project for a number of museums in close proximity?

This year our museum worked with Burnaby Village Museum to unroll birch bark scrolls that were nearly 100 years old.

These scrolls from George Sayers are something that would have never seen the light of day had we not been able to work with the conservation team at Burnaby Village.

The sharing of assets and information is an integral part of keeping museums, especially smaller institutions, relevant.

Although it might not be in our museum’s immediate future, the idea of being able to bring artifacts from our collection into the hands of the visitor, to be used as a learning tool, without having to worry about damage is definitely something that could well be a reality in the next decade through the collaboration of other like-minded museums.

The News/sports Pumpkin cross brings record numbers Section coordinator: Neil Corbett 604-467-1122 ext. 216

sports@mapleridgenews.com

Pippi Longstocking with Braids to the breeze, Gene Simmons’ demon biker, barbarians, brides, and Burt’s sidekick Ernie were all part of a the fastgrowing Pumpkin Cross bike race held in Maple Ridge over the weekend.

The event swelled from 150 riders to a record 260 in its seventh year, and the costumed competitors took to the course around North Alouette Greenway Park on a sunny Sunday.

“I believe in building more than a race, I want to make an event,” said organizer Barry Lyster, of the Local Ride Bike Shop.

He said in Europe, cyclo-cross events are known for their social nature, and he has tried to emulate that with his Halloween-themed race. It has worked, and his event is now the biggest in the cyclo cross series.

Pumpkin Cross was the sixth round of the Vancouver SuperPrestige CX series presented by Shimano.

Coquitlam’s Sandra ‘Pippi Longstocking’ Walter of the Liv/giant Canada team took her first elite women’s Pumpkin Cross victory, leading from start to finish.

“I’ve raced every edition of Pumpkin Cross and this is the biggest I’ve seen it,” she said. “It felt like a big party out there, with all of the costumes, music, and spectators.”

Walter is fresh off winning the Canada Cup Mountain Bike Series, and is one of the top women in Canada. Kelly Jones (Steed Cycles) of North Vancouver secured second spot, with Maple Ridge’s Maggie Coles-Lyster (Local Ride Racing), just 14, powering into third place while wearing her Mother Nature costume.

The elite men’s race was an exciting and confusing battle for cyclo-cross fans, as the top two contenders, Kevin Calhoun (Rocky Mountain Bicycles) of North Vancouver and Kevin Noiles (Rock Lobster Factory Team) of Vancouver, dressed as one another. Noiles even carried a small stuffed dog in the back pocket of his Rocky Mountain cycling jersey, to represent Calhoun’s beloved Jack Neil Corbett/THE NEWS Russell terrier Tucker.

The two Kevins have been neck-and-neck all Sandra ‘Pippi Longstocking’ Walter of Coquitlam flies into a corner pursued by a racer dressed as Ernie from Sesame Street during Sunday’s Pumpkin Cross season, with Calhoun eking out narrow wins. On event. Walter won the elite women’s class. Costumes and socializing were the order of the day, and the event swelled from 150 to 250 competitors.

Sunday, Calhoun did it again over Noiles, despite the swapped identities.

Third place went to speedster Chris McNiel (Soul Sportif) of Kamloops.

Although they didn’t race, Maple Ridge’s Dave and Cheryl Hardie were among voters’ top picks for the coveted best costume prize. The duo cruised around the race expo on their tandem bicycle, dressed in dapper 1920s garb as periodappropriate music sounded from a wicker basket on the back.

However, it was the creative team costume of “Bacon Hand Up” that won the voters’ hearts.

Four riders, two dressed as strips of bacon, one wearing a giant foam hand, and the other dressed as a man-sized blue upward facing arrow, completed the costume. In the cyclo-cross world, a “hand-up” is a mode of introducing audience participation to the zany niche cycling discipline.

A hand-up is when a spectator offers something to a racer during the competition, from bacon to brandy.

Ten-year-old Kaelen Coles-Lyster took home the best kid’s costume award as an “old man.”

Ridge Meadows Knights pee wees tackler Cody Hogarth catches a Bears ball carrier. The Knights close out the regular season on Saturday, playing at 11:45 a.m. at Samuel Robertson Technical School against the Chilliwack Giants.

A road trip to Langley sent the Ridge Meadows Knights out to take on the North Langley Bears on Saturday in the Valley Community Football League.

The atom Knights defence, which is led by Quinlan Eales and Colby Van’tHullenaar, was tasked with stopping the Bears quick offense.

Axel Stratton and Austin Pattenden opened up some running lanes to keep Jacob Brass on the move, while Daniel Kalinich captained his offence into the endzone, as he completed his first pass of the season.

The Bears proved too quick on the corners, and the Knights fell be a score of 22-8.

After falling to the pee wee Bears earlier in the season, the pee wee Knights were hungry for a rematch.

Leading his defence into the heart of Bear country, linebacker Dallas Pattenden, with lineman Angelo Chalmers, kept the Bears offensive drives to three-and-outs for most of the game.

Ridge’s own offensive machine rumbled to life early, as quarterback Ciaran Davies connected with Cody Hogarth to find the end-zone.

The big men up front, Dilrage Chahal, Tyson Smith and Luke Buss, kept the Bears at bay to spring our ball carriers for some big, downfield gains. At the final whistle, the Knights had come up big with a 25-0 victory.

The junior bantam Knights were defeated by the North Langley Bears 39-32, in a game where the Knights gutsy fourth-quarter resurgence put 16 points on the board in their bid to steal a win.

The offensive line led

by Christian King, Zac Mayer-Buss, Will Bartolo, Jake Fairley, Jacob Gordon and Mike Volpiana opened holes for Brandon Hunt’s pair of rushing touchdowns as well as providing QB Tim Janke time to throw a touchdown pass to Brayden Hamilton.

On defence, the Knights linebacker core led by Sean Coombs and Jake Loftus made several big plays to shut down the Bears offence in the fourth quarter.

Jacob Peterson and Nathan Barr plugged up the middle of the line of scrimmage with relentless pursuit of the football slowing the Bears inside running game.

Junior B Flames exorcise Devils The Ridge Meadows Flames jumped out to a 5-0 lead, then cruised to a 5-3 win over the North Delta Devils on Friday at Planet Ice. Two third-period power play goals helped the Devils make the game respectable.

Flames forward Marco Ballarin scored twice and added an assist.

He leads the Flames with nine goals and eight assists, for 17 points in 14 games. That puts him among

the league’s leading scorers, sitting in eighth place in the PJHL. Brandon Inwood and Dale Howell each had a goal and an assist, MacLean Hewitt scored, and Travis Oddy and Joe Olson each had two assists.

On Thursday, the Flames lost 5-2 to the Richmond Sockeyes.

Boston Colley and Oddy scored for the Flames.

Ridge now sits in third place with

five wins, seven losses, two overtime losses and a tie.

• The Flames will be at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Tuesday night to face the Delta Ice Hawks. This Friday brings a rematch with the tough Abbotsford Pilots, who have gone 10-3-0-1, at MSA Arena.

Their next home game is Nov. 8, when they host the Richmond Sockeyes at Planet Ice. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
