‘Team’ running together in Pitt John Becker says his group is not a ‘true slate’

By Nei l Corbe tt ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters is not happy to see slate politics come to her city.

“There appears to be a slate running, and I’ve never been in favour of slates,” she said Tuesday.

Candidates had to file their nomination papers by last Friday.

Walters said, in her nine years on council, there have not been official slates, and she feels that party politics have no place at the municipal level.

Walters, who is not running again, worries that politicians who are part of a slate will vote for the “party line,” rather than voting individually or for their representatives.

City lots could house post-secondary Multi-university campus envisioned

Brandon Bevans trowels concrete for a new sidewalk by the city property at 119th Avenue and 227th Street.

Three empty acres on Selkirk Avenue in downtown Maple Ridge could be the place for post secondary education.

Maple Ridge Coun. Bob Masse, who’s on the task force trying to bring a multi-university campus to the city, wants council to

make the site – a stone’s throw from Haney bus loop – the priority.

“To me, that should be top of mind.”

Focusing on that site could allow the district to offer the land as incentive for post-secondary schools to set up there.

“I think that leaves us a lot of room to do that,” Masse said.

Senior governments often want cities to contribute to major projects.

volving Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Mission has been trying to find a way to attract a university or college for the past few years. The goal is to get a variety of schools to have their satellite operations share building space, offering multiple course options.

“The No. 1 thing that would generate high-income job growth is post secondary education,” Masse said.

“I want us to really appreciate the potential that site has for making that happen.

“The downtown location would be fantastic.”

Council has yet to discuss that, but will soon, Masse pointed out.

With the Arts Centre Theatre, transportation and the Leisure Centre nearby, there’s “super good synergy there for making the community take a big leap forward.”

After trying to sell the city land two years ago, Maple Ridge renewed its offer last week to entice purchasers.

Daykin kicks off 30-day campaign Council candidates join him at open house

By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

They ate cookies and sipped tea and coffee and exchanged hugs at a meetand-greet for Ernie Daykin, who on Wednesday launched his bid to win a third straight term as Maple Ridge mayor.

“About 30 days to go,” Daykin said later. “We had a good turnout for a Wednesday evening.”

Seniors were there, as were realtors and business people, and about 10 council candidates at what used to be a store next to the old Mussallem Motors dealership.

“It was all good. Everybody does what they think they need to do,” Daykin said.

“I was pleased.”

Daykin doesn’t read anything into council candidates who stopped by.

Among them: Gordy Robson, now seeking a council seat; former councillor Craig Speirs and present councillor Al Hogarth, both seeking re-election; and candidates Kirsten Duncan, Alex Pope and Ken Holland.

“I have no illusions that anyone of them supports me,” Daykin said. “I think there’s lots of common ground there, for sure.”

Daykin said he’s running again because he loves Maple Ridge – he was born and raised here, ran a business here for 24 years, and raised his family here.

“I really do love the community and I think I have some experience,” Daykin said.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin (right), at his re-election campaign open house Wednesday, chats with council candidates Kiersten Duncan and former mayor Gordy Robson.

“We’ll continue to move the community forward.”

Daykin admits much needs to be done to improve Maple Ridge, but “we’re moving along.

“As much as others may challenge me, I think we’re making progress.”

Downtown is improving, there are two new parks in Silver Valley and the Hammond area plan is underway.

Maple Ridge has a way to go, counters mayoral candidate and current councillor Mike Morden.

“The first step is excellence at city hall,” he said.

“We need to be the best city hall in the region – not the worst.

“I want excellence in staff, excellence in service and excellence in delivery. That opens us for business.

That gets the jobs moving.”

Council will evaluate how to improve city hall, Morden said.

He also noted that times for delivery of building permits are published in other cities.

To improve service, staff has to tell council it will cost to improve time on issuing a building permit, for example.

Morden said he was glad council gave third reading to the employment land investment incentive program Tuesday. The program gives similar discounts and tax exemptions to businesses as those received by builders in downtown Maple Ridge.

“It was my idea – 100 per cent. Ask Ernie,” Morden said.

“No one gives me credit for it, but I own it. It’s mine. I came up with the whole idea. I’ve been driving it for three years.”

He also he drove the idea of getting department heads and RCMP now

report to council in committee when presenting their budget.

“That was my idea as well,” to get the RCMP to talk to council. “We were the first municipality in B.C. to do that.”

Another mayoral candidate, Graham Mowatt, said it must be nice to have lots of money to run a campaign.

“I just don’t have that money.”

Daykin estimates he’ll spend between $15,000 and $20,000 on his campaign.

Mowatt will spend about $3,000.

Mowatt issued a release earlier this week calling for a zero-per-cent tax increase next year, with reductions over the next four years to decrease what the average homeowner is currently paying in property taxes.

He’ll also ask staff to prepare a zero-based budget next year, as the City of Pitt Meadows has done.

He also wants it easier for the public to ask questions from department heads during the two-day budgeting exercise held each year instead of waiting for the end of the two-day presentation.

“I’m looking at cutting the size of city hall and increasing the efficiencies.”

He says he won’t support higher TransLink taxes unless better service comes to Maple Ridge.

Mowatt wants the public involvement for the entire four years, “to have much greater transparency and accountability, and to give citizens as many opportunities as possible to aid council … to make Maple Ridge a city where we can all be proud to live.”

Gary Cleave and Nicole Read are also running for mayor.

BCIT, Douglas College shown some interest School from front

“What we want for those three acres is first-class, top-quality re-development,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Part of what could result there is community and post-secondary school use.

“It’s going to have to be a partnership, or two or three institutes working together.”

So far, BCIT and Douglas College have shown some interest in setting up a satellite campus in Maple Ridge, Daykin said.

Douglas College has proposed that a centre of excellence for green building construction.

But Daykin said what happens depends on actually offers.

However, a post-secondary campus only would be a fraction of the development site.

Daykin said the city could sell the three acres and use proceeds to buy land elsewhere.

Maple Ridge bought the property between Haney Place and Valley Fair malls in 2011 for $3.7 million, to try and jumpstart downtown development.

“I think we need to be open and creative in what gets done there,” Daykin said.

Another possible site for a post-secondary school could be the vacant provincial land straddling Lougheed Highway, just east of Kanaka Way. That’s currently for sale.

Daykin said both sites have potential and didn’t favour one over the other.

According to the request for proposals, offers should have mixed uses, such as residential and commercial. They should also

be for a socially and environmentally sustainable development.

Coun. Corisa Bell, seeking re-election, sees the potential to put university type courses and mixed development downtown.

“It just makes so much sense. It’s just such an incredible concept,” she said.

“I absolutely would love to see it become university, see housing there, student housing, apartments for rent, bringing in an eclectic mix of individuals.”

She favours that site over the one on Lougheed Hwy. “I really believe that it being in the downtown is what we need for transportation. It makes the most sense. There’s so much potential.”

Other mayoralty candidates have the same view.

“I would agree with looking at that, for sure,” said Mike Morden.

The new business incentive plan could also offer some for that property, he said.

Graham Mowatt, also running for mayor, said many universities in Metro Vancouver had private sponsorships to get underway.

“It would be nice if we could have some entrepreneurs in Maple Ridge come in and partner with the City of Maple Ridge.

“We’ll provide some land. They can provide some money. Let’s get the provincial government going and let’s get this thing on the map.”

However, the request for proposals doesn’t allow for that approach.

Ridge election race crowded In total, 31 vie for spots on council B y Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

The deadline has passed, the papers are in and on Nov. 15 voters will have three more names to sort through than they did in the 2011 election.

A total of five people want to be mayor.

And no less than 26 people want one of six councillor positions, which are now for four years instead of three.

Seeking the job of mayor of Maple Ridge is Ernie Daykin, who’s trying to earn a third straight term. He’s being challenged by his colleague on council, Michael Morden, and by council watcher and former candidate Graham Mowatt.

Completing the candidate list for mayor are Gary Cleave, a former Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district employee, and Nicole Read, a Silver Valley resident who wants a school built in the area, as originally planned.

The five candidates contrast with the 2011 election, when only Daykin and Craig Ruthven competed.

Ruthven, a rookie politician, took 4,953 compared to Daykin’s 7,394.

For council, the race is almost as crowded as 2011, when 28 people were running, two more than this time.

Three current and two past Maple Ridge councillors are seeking reelection. Current councillors Corisa Bell and Bob Masse are trying to win a second term while colleague Al Hogarth is seeking a fifth term, which includes a stint from 2000 to 2002 when he was mayor.

Former mayor Gordy Robson and former councillors Craig Speirs and Faye Isaac are reappearing from absences and are seeking election.

The other candidates, in reverse alphabetical order: Grover Telford, Tyler Shymkiw, Brian Savage, Grant Sanderson, Craig Ruthven, Craig Rudd, James Buddy Rogers, Alex Pope, Todd Oliver, Mike Norden, Don Mitchell, Chelsa Meadus, Bruce McWilliam, Morgan Jensen,

Pay attention The candidates in November’s municipal elections have filed their nomination paperwork. The races for the mayor, council and school board are officially on.

The coming weeks will be punctuated by knocks on your door from candidates seeking your vote, flyers stuffing your mailbox, signs on lawns, allcandidates meetings in school gyms and community centres.

But how many voters will actually exercise their right to do so on Nov. 15?

In 2011, 25 per cent of registered voters in Maple Ridge cast ballots, down from 29 three years prior.

In Pitt Meadows, 30 per cent voted in 2011, up from 23 in 2008.

But if voters really want change, more are going to have to show up at the polls.

An advertisement in a 1937 edition of The Gazette newspaper, placed by candidate for reeve James Miller Cameron, promised just that – “It’s time for a change.”

His ad further outlined promises to not increase taxes, to improve roads and brides, and pressure higher levels of government to help more with the costs of assisting the poor.

So, little has changed in 77 years.

Maybe it’s time to start paying attention to who runs this newly acclaimed city of 85,000 people.

Weeding through the long list of candidates seeking positions on city council and school board can be daunting, let alone knowing who stands for what.

But with new four-year terms, you won’t have to do so as often.

Those elected on Nov. 15 will determine how your tax dollars are spent, and how much you have to chip in each year.

You should have a say in that. In this democracy, it is your responsibility.

How sprawl could rule elections B

ecause of the almost permanent impact it will cause, urban sprawl should be one of the most important election campaign issues in either Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge.

The record of Pitt Meadows council over Sidewinder the years has lessened Sandy Macdougall the current impact of urban sprawl in that city, but the diminishing amount of suitable land available for residential, commercial or industrial use will create enormous pressure to expand the urban boundaries.

That is where the threat of urban sprawl will raise its ugly head.

Almost for certain there will be future pressure to consider urban uses and densities of undeveloped properties north of Pitt Meadows, such as Thompson Mountain and some of the properties currently included in the golf courses in the same area.

The land currently available for residential use in Pitt Meadows is almost totally developed and that will make the land north of the city an attractive target for developers.

Pitt Meadows civic politicians will, of course, state their opposition to such urban expansion, but you must remember that almost every recent commercial, industrial and residential development in that city has

uestion of the week:

taken place in a sprawling attack on agricultural lands.

It isn’t too much of a stretch to imagine city council favourably considering residential uses on sites currently separated from the existing urban core.

Any decision to support such sprawl will only add to the current traffic and transit woes which threaten to strangle the city.

The other major land use questions for Pitt Meadows will involve the proposed commercial strip north of the Lougheed Highway and the taxes that would generate, and how to achieve the long desired CPR overpass without that commercial expansion, assuming that the overpass would be constructed along the Nathan Allen corridor.

Sprawl in Maple Ridge has been a fact of life for at least the past three decades, as successive municipal councils leap-frogged over land adjacent to the existing urban boundaries to create small-lot subdivisions in Albion and the loftier development of Silver Valley.

There is also the matter of successive councils attempting to sell their souls in dealing with the Albion flats, where they propose a monster commercial development that could, if it proceeds, sound the death knell for the struggling downtown commercial core.

It should be understood that the main push for development of the Albion flats is pretty much a direct result of premature urban residential expansion in the Albion

area. This is urban sprawl at its finest.

It is like a municipal version of Field of Dreams: build it and they will come.

And it has been done without much consideration of its impact on the rest of Maple Ridge.

Development of Silver Valley only became possible with the advent more than 30 years ago of the official community plan, which designated Silver Valley as an urban reserve.

But development wasn’t supposed to begin until there had been substantial in-fill in the existing urban area.

It’s been more than 20 years since the urban reserve designation was removed and the first rezoning and subdivision of Silver Valley was approved.

Municipal council had mandated certain requirements were to be included in that urban expansion. Those items were schools, parks and local commercial elements.

Here we are, 20 years on, and there is still no schools, few parks, no commercial elements and but a few scattered sidewalks for children who must walk a mile or more to Yennadon elementary.

Ironically, according to many residents, there is still plenty of undeveloped land within the former urban area.

It will be interesting to potential voters to see how incumbents or new candidates approach these subjects.

Don MacLean · retired: Re: Council Watch: who’s paying election bills?

(The News, Oct. 10).

Not sure what good this will do. If you are to the left of centre you will probably vote against the ‘developer’ supported candidate, and if you are right of centre, you will probably vote against the union supported candidate. Having said that, aren’t the voters going to be prejudging the candidates based on what or who they might support and not who or what they actually support after they are elected?

Blame technology Larry Walker: Re: Teen killed at Maple Ridge railway crossing.

So sad that the young lady lost her life. Chalk it up to technology. I remember, as a kid attending Hammond elementary and living right next to the tracks on Melville St., I walked those same tracks four times a day (morning, lunch and end of school), five days a week for the six years of elementary school. But we were well aware of trains coming because, firstly, you could hear them from a mile away and, secondly, the ground shook and the rails emitted a weird ringing to alert you. Hell, many times we even hopped on a slow moving train and rode it to Haney (I know, looking back, very stupid). But in those days we didn’t have music blaring in our ears through ear buds taking 50 per cent of our attention and no cell phones to be texting on to take the other 50 per cent. So, as I

said, blame it on technology. This will by no means bring her back, but I sure as hell hope all the other young people who do the same technology stuff stay the hell clear of the railway tracks while doing it (rant over).

Consider the facts Mike Murray · University of British Columbia: Re: Election 2014: Slate running for school board seats (The News, Oct. 15).

I would encourage the public to visit the School District No. 42 website to view the trustee advocacy material listed below the board of education section. The board’s advocacy goes well beyond the letter noted in this article including meetings with MLAs and the minister of education, follow up letters, public appeals to parents to join the board in expressing concerns about education funding, participation in public rallies, going on a radio talk show, collaborating with other boards of education on a new co-governance model with the province and more. This activity began shortly after the current board was elected in 2012.

We think it is important that citizens consider the facts and determine for themselves if the incumbent candidates deserve the opportunity to continue their work advocating on behalf of students for additional education funding.

• Barsby Drama · works at SD 68: Mr. Murray, your list seems impressive, but the reality is it amounts to ‘talk’ written six different ways. Parents are done with leaders who think talking about issues is action ... How long until talk turns into action? Thank you for your service, Mr. Murray, but I believe the parents of B.C. are tired of endless talk while our kids conditions deteriorate.

Kiwis an example to the world Editor, The News: Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than at the local level.

This was unquestionably demonstrated in New Zealand, where, in the early 1980s, a dictatorial conservative prime minister named Rob Muldoon ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclearpowered or nuclear-armed foreign warships.

Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand har-

bours and used his majority national government to run rough-shod over the will of the people.

Kiwis turned to their local governments to give effect to their anti-nuclear principles.

Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries.

Labour Party leader David Lange was no fool.

He read the writing on the signs and promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclearequipped warships from New Zealand waters.

In 1984, Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s

promise.

New Zealand is a small peaceful country in the South Pacific, but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military.

New Zealand took a beating economically, but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War super-power nuclear alliances.

To this day, New Zealand proudly remains nuclear-free and an example to the world.

The strategy may have been less successful in B.C., but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried.

There will definitely be changes on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board this year, as two veteran trustees, Sarah Nelson and Kathy Marshall, will not be running again.

Of course all seven seats will be contested, but it has proven historically difficult to unseat an incumbent.

In the last election, Nelson and Palis were both acclaimed.

There will be 12 candidates running for the five seats representing Maple Ridge.

traffic on Fern Crescent by requiring that a part of the busy road be straightened as a condition for building 34 new homes in the area.

That is a relief to Harvey Gigun, who was worried about traffic safety as residents accessed the new homes in the 24000-block of

and Elizabeth Taylor.

Clarkson issued a press release on Friday with Carreras, Beare and Delainey announcing that they will be running as a team – preferring not to call it a slate.

One of the major issues that trustees face is the budget, as inflationary cost increases coupled with falling enrollment have led to funding shortfalls. The board has been forced to cut some $5 million from its budget in each of the past two years.

Knowing that, trustee Ken Clarkson, a former board chairman, has joined a team of trustees, with three newcomers, to create a slate – a rarity in local politics.

Two seats at the board table are in Pitt Meadows, and there are four women contesting them. Eleanor Palis, the current vice-chair of the board, is the one incumbent.

Marcela Boggio, Korleen Carreras and Allie Taylor will also vie for a spot on the board.

Fern Crescent.

The initial proposal would have had residents getting to new homes by using Fern Crescent, at a point where there’s a horseshoe bend in the road.

That could have created dangerous driving conditions as newcomers file on to the busy road that leads to Golden Ears Provincial Park, one of the busiest parks in the province.

Under the plan, approved Tuesday, 128th Avenue will be extended eastward, with the developer paying a third of the cost. The extension of 128th Avenue will connect one side of horseshoe curve to the other, effectively removing a major curve on Fern Crescent.

“Myself and my neighbours are pleasantly surprised that some kind of consideration was made to make the road safer,” Gigun said.

It was disappointing, though, that neighbours had to be so involved in order to be heard, he added.

Coun. Bob Masse said the existing road conditions weren’t safe and the solution was the extension of 128th Avenue to remove the Fern Crescent curve.

“When you look at that overall, it becomes very clear how that’s going to work.”

Neighbours along the Fern Crescent curve get a quieter road because all the traffic to and from Golden Ears Provincial Park will follow the new, straighter portion of Fern Crescent/128th Avenue.

Many voices sought: Meadus

By Phi l M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Chelsa Meadus wants to change things up a bit this election. Whether she gets elected Nov. 15 to Maple Ridge council is secondary to the process of public participation, in which voters themselves will speak about the problems and find the answers.

With her knowledge of livestreaming events, Meadus is inviting people to her house to discuss seniors issues, youth and homelessness in Maple Ridge, with the proceedings broadcast online for all to see.

She also wants to broadcast one of the all candidates’ meetings.

“It’s about talking about what the community issues are and talking about what the public thinks should happen. By doing, that

‘Ridge could be better’

[way] you create more engagement.”

She says that using technological advances now available will save time and money.

Some people ask how a municipal council actually will make decisions with so many voices, but Meadus says after wideranging discussions with input from the community, the right decisions will be obvious.

“It just becomes a formality to have a government sitting around a table,” Meadus said.

“The more opinions, the more engagement, it will actually make decisions easier.”

Meadus has a webstreaming company that allows her to offer such features and has assembled an eight-person team to help her win a seat.

Former school trustee and former federal Lib-

eral candidate Mandeep Bhuller is helping her with campaign strategy, while Gay Conn, constituency assistant for Liberal MLA Doug Bing, is managing finances.

Meadus has been involved with several community events in Maple Meadus Ridge.

“I think I’ve been involved in some way in almost every special event this community has had,” she says on her website.

That includes Rivers Heritage Day, Earth Day, B.C. Summer Games, B.C. Disability Games, Communities in Bloom, Canada Day, the Golden Ears Transitition Initiative Festival, Cops for Cancer, Golden Harvest and the jazz and

blues festival.

She adds that her experience in neighbourhood development, youth services, as a volunteer and non-profit manager, programer and special events manager, combined with owning her own business, prepares her for this “dynamic challenge.”

One of the reasons she decided to run in this election is because there will be three vacancies on council. Mike Morden is giving up his seat to run for mayor and councillors Cheryl Ashlie and Judy Dueck are not seeking re-election.

“It’s just the right time for me, in terms of experience,” Meadus said.

THE RETURN OF

By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Newcomer to the municipal election race, Craig Rudd knows Maple Ridge can get better.

But the city isn’t as bad as some say it is.

“There are a lot of good things about Maple Ridge,” said Rudd, pointing out that’s why people are moving here.

Rudd, who owns a tire store in Coquitlam, is running because he says he has a passion for Maple Ridge and has lived here for more than 45 years.

Rudd coached minor hockey and softball, has served on non-profit organizations and is now the president of the B.C. Liberal Maple RidgeMission riding association. Marc Dalton is the sitting Liberal MLA for that riding.

“Having and keeping control of spending is key to affordable taxes. We need good value for every dollar spent. We need to be wise,” Rudd said.

He wants to improve Maple Ridge’s transportation system, including that for cars, transit and bicycles.

‘I’d love to have Costco’ Rudd from 9

He also wants better roads leading to the downtown area.

“Downtown, on the weekend, is pretty chock a block.

It’s hard to get around. I think we have room to improve on these kind of things.”

He’s glad that 128th Avenue is being widened next year, from 210th to 224th streets, Rudd and wants the widening of 240th Street sped up.

He also supports a big box shop-

ping mall in Albion flats, saying that having major retailers in town can keep shopping dollars in the community.

“I own my own retail business. I’d love to a have a Costco … across the street.

They’re a draw for people.”

Rudd wants to apply common sense to his duties as councillor, if elected.

“I want to build on the positives, work as a team.”

Guide to report crime newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

Only about 30 per cent of all crime gets reported, often because witnesses are not sure whether the incident they have seen would be worthy of police attention, or they don’t know how to report it.

To try and get citizens more involved in crime prevention, the Pitt Meadows Community Policing Committee has assembled and published the Pitt Meadows Crime Reporting Guide.

The guide breaks it down for citizens. Listing incidents that require immediate attention – any crime that is in progress, or where a person is in distress, by dialing 9-1-1.

The non-emergency number 604-463-6251 is included for suspicious incidents such as strangers lurking, abandoned vehicles or an insecure home.

The booklet includes three suspect identification charts to help record descriptions of people, and three more vehicle description sheets, so police will have solid information.

There are also numerous crime prevention tips.

Clint Van Blanken, Crime Prevention volunteer coordinator, presented the booklet to Pitt Meadows council on Tuesday.

Mayor Deb Walters called the guide “a great tool,” and said council will be getting lots of positive feedback about it.

Summit for future leaders Only six days remain to apply for one of 70 spots to the Youth Impact Summit, a free weekend conference open to all students in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The summit takes place Nov. 28-30 at Zajac Ranch in Mission.

PUBLIC NOTICE This notice is issued in accordance with Sections 94 and 227 of the Community Charter.

The Town Centre Investment Incentive Program was established in 2011 to encourage residential density, commercial development and renovation projects in Maple Ridge’s Town Centre. A revitalized Town Centre will strengthen the local economy, bringing job opportunities for citizens and customers to support local businesses. The Program, scheduled to expire at the end of this year, provides tax exemptions and other incentives. An additional incentive program has also been proposed to encourage commercial, industrial and institutional development outside of the Town Centre, and to help implement the City’s Commercial and Industrial Strategy. Both programs are intended to strengthen the local economy, attract local job opportunities, and diversify the tax base.

The Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge proposes to adopt two bylaws to establish the tax exemption portion of these programs at the October 28, 2014, Council Meeting.

Town Centre Investment Incentive Program Maple Ridge Revitalization Tax Exemption Amending Bylaw No. 7109-2014 is to extend commercial tax exemptions for an additional two years. To qualify for a tax exemption, projects would need a construction value of over $100,000 and have a building permit issued on or before Friday, December 30, 2016. Tax exemptions are for 100% of the municipal property tax payable on the amount of value attributed to the project for a period of three years, or for a total of six years for projects meeting “green” building requirements. Residential development does not qualify.

Designated area for the Program – Town Centre Investment Incentive Area

Employment Lands Investment Incentive Program Maple Ridge Revitalization Tax Exemption Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Bylaw No. 7112–2014 is to establish tax exemptions for qualifying developments on employment lands.

Some uses permitted in industrial zones are ineligible for this Program. To qualify, projects would need a construction value of over $250,000 and have a building permit issued between January 2, 2015, and December 28, 2018. Tax exemptions are for 100% of the municipal property tax payable on the amount of value attributed to the project for the first year, then reduced by 20% for the next four years. For projects meeting “green” building requirements, the tax exemption is 100% for the first year, then reduced by 10% for the next nine years.

The Programs have additional requirements and incentives, such as fee discounts and rebates. For more information, please contact the Strategic Economic Initiatives Department at the City of Maple Ridge by telephone: 604-467-7319 or email: investtowncentre@mapleridge.ca.

Designated area for the Program – Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Areas. These incentive areas are shaded grey on the map above, and encompass all designated industrial lands and the Kanaka Business Park. Larger scale maps are available in the Council report and Bylaw.

Gary Paller knows about movie magic, and the former special effects man is asking the voters of Pitt Meadows to give him a chance to transform their tax bill.

Paller’s name will be on the ballot for mayor on Nov. 15.

He worked as a professional firefighter, and had a special effects business for 30 years.

The mayoralty candidate has lived in Pitt Meadows for 16 years, and says through most of those he has been shaking his head at the wasteful spending at city hall.

“I’ve been appalled, for 15 years, at what goes on.”

Paller said municipali-

ties across the country spend money as if there is an endless supply.

“The bureaucracy is out of control. It’s out of control everywhere, but I can help here.”

Having worked on motion pictures with $200 million budgets that require detailed planning and execution, Paller says he is confident that he can provide the right leadership Pitt Meadows needs. His approach at city hall would be the same as in business and in his personal life – pay as you go.

“Taxes are out of control everywhere, but how can you stop that,” he asks. “You have to say ‘We don’t have the money.’”

As examples, he said spending on the arena, traffic calming measures

He is running for a councillor’s position in Pitt Meadows in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

The 46-year-old has lived in Pitt Meadows for 40 years, and wants to see anglers casting their lines again in Katzie Slough, and for farmers to have clean water for irrigation.

‘Upgrade pump station’ Magri from 12

“I want to be able to restore that to what it was when I once fished it,” he said. “It has deteriorated. It’s in terrible condition, and it needs to be addressed.”

He would like to see the city run environmental programs to educate children about the local ecology, and Magri the importance of protecting it.

Magri also sees a concern in making sure that the pumps along the slough are well maintained, and in particular sees the Kennedy Pump Station as needing an upgrade in the near future.

“If those pumps pack it in, Pitt Meadows is under water,” said Magri.

On a day-to-day basis he observes ways that he believes Pitt Meadows could be improved, or money saved.

“For 18 years I’ve worked for CP Rail as a car man, doing repairs and

maintenance, and everything is all about efficiency.”

He sees contracted workers doing sidewalk repairs, and asks himself “Why aren’t our guys (city workers) doing that?”

He hears ambulances going through the community, and wonders why a car can’t be stationed in Pitt Meadows, to cut down on response times compared with when they are dispatched from Maple Ridge.

He sees vehicles circling downtown, looking for parking, and wonders why there can’t be more spots created by using angle parking, as he sees on the main drag in New Westminster.

And he wants to look at the tendering process at city hall, to make sure taxpayers are getting the most bang for their buck.

“I like taking something that’s not running right, and making it work.”

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 21, 2014 to consider the following bylaws: 1)

‘We hold certain values’ Team from front

“If you’re on a slate, you’re not representing the entire community,” she asserted.

But John Becker, the mayoralty candidate who heads the group that is running together, said it is a “team,” not a true slate.

Becker was on council for nine years before losing his seat at the table after Walters beat him in the 2011 election’s mayoralty race.

In his bid to return, he is supported by three in-

cumbent councillors on the team – Bruce Bell, Janis Elkerton and David Murray.

“We’re running as a team, because we hold certain values,” explained Becker.

One of those is rebuilding the cooperative relationship between councillors.

“It was, to a large extent, destroyed in the last three years,” said Becker, adding that council also needs to show more respect for city hall staff, and for residents.

He said the key issue is the leadership of the mayor, and criticized Walters for a “bullying” style.

“We will have a respectful working environment,” said Becker, adding issues will still be thoroughly debated in public.

Other key issues for the team are transportation, transparency at city hall, and a one-year freeze on taxes.

Common messaging of the four candidates is what makes them a

team, said Becker.

A slate, he added, is typically made up of people who are either on the left or right of the political spectrum.

They are is often defined as either pro- or antidevelopment, and either want to preserve the Agricultural Land Reserve or allow building on it.

“It’s not a slate; it’s a coalition of people who share the same values,” he said.

“They are all strong people. We are going to go our different ways on many issues.”

Becker also said that the approach taken by the four might actually serve as a barrier to the introduction of true slate politics.

“People who call it a slate just want to throw dirt on it.”

The team does not have a name, such as Vision Vancouver or the Non-Partisan Association, which is also in that city, or Surrey First. Becker said there are generally six people who meet to discuss the team’s election strategy, and he has nicknamed them the “Six Pack.”

Becker will be opposed by Michael Hayes and Gary Paller for the mayor’s chair.

In addition to the three named, other incumbents are Tracy Miyashita and Gwen O’Connell.

“I’ve decided it’s not a good time for me, personally.”

Mayor Deb Walters Bill Dingwall, Scott Magri, Andrena Raymond, Mike Stark and Andrew Thompson are newcomers who will run for council.

Walters announced in August that she would not be running again.

“I’ve decided it’s not a good time for me, personally,” she said.

Her husband Len will be retiring soon, and Walters does not want to have to wear the mayor’s chain of office during that phase of their lives, she added.

Asked whether she might enter provincial or federal politics, Walters offered, “No comment.”

You’ll also find 13 standard tie-down locations throughout the bed that you can use with available, movable cargo tie-down rings.

Furthermore, the 2015 Colorado’s configurations are available in an extended cab model with a 6-foot bed, a crew cab with a 5-foot bed and a crew cab with a 6-foot bed. With the tailgate down, the 6-foot bed allows hauling of 8-foot-long items.

Even though both trucks are built on GM’s Global mid-size truck platform, they are targeted at two different buyers.

If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well.

Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab.

The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695).

Buying a used vehicle?

By Zack Spencer Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country.

Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015

The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan.

Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated more than 2,000 parts on this latest sedan.

The car is Toyota’s corner-

stone in the U.S., thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for

reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and No. 1 in the States.

However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

• Looks: When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day.

Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability.

Carrier of the Week

driveway

Camry refreshed inside and out on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. These are all welcome updates but the major competitor for this car is the Honda Accord and the interior on that car is much more upscale and technologically advanced, with two screens and a higher end feel.

• Drive: Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car.

The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line

Quality and value at Morningstar’s Robertson Heights

By Kerry Vital

Maple Ridge has welcomed Morningstar Homes with open arms, already making its newest single-family home project, Robertson Heights, a huge success after just a few weeks.

“We recognized that today’s single-family home buyer is looking not only for quality and value, but innovation as well,” says Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing for Morningstar. “We’ve taken the time to do our homework,

researching ideas that are fresh and new and re-creating them in a home where affordability is key.”

Ranging from 2,625 to 3,072 square feet including unfinished basements, the three- and four-bedroom homes include some pretty amazing features. Among them are vaulted ceilings, window seats and the gourmet kitchens that Morningstar is known for.

“We always strive to offer our purchasers the best,” says Calahan. “In a market where many people consider single-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

family home ownership out of reach, we’ve pleasantly surprised potential purchasers by providing not only an affordable home but one that is truly innovative with the bells and whistles you’d expect to see in a much larger home.”

Morningstar held their grand opening of Robertson Heights in late September, and sold 21 homes in the first two weeks, making the neighbourhood one of the most successful yet.

Calahan points out that the six furnished show homes give potential buyers the ability to look at all of their options before making the final decision on which home to buy.

Robertson Heights is Morningstar’s second project in Maple Ridge. The first, The Summit at Grant Hill, is already over 50 per cent sold out after opening just two months ago.

Homes at Robertson Heights start at $449,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.mstarhomes.com, call 604-380-4708 or stop by the sales office at 10455 Robertson Street, Maple Ridge, open daily except Friday between noon and 6 p.m.

Stunning views are just one of the beautiful features at Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands. Recreation opportunities are just minutes away, and the homes offer excellent curb appeal due to their Craftsman architecture.

Homes without compromise at Harrison Highlands

By Kerry Vital

At Odessa Group’s Harrison Highlands, buyers won’t have to compromise on what they’re looking for in a new home.

“This is a place where people can live where they play,” says Heath Stone, managing partner at Odessa Group. “There is definitely a demand for these homes.”

Harrison Highlands is just minutes from Harrison Lake, Mission, Agassiz and the Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as several other opportunities for leisure and recreation.

“Sandpiper Golf Club and salmon and

sturgeon fishing are only two minutes away!” says Stone.

Harrison Highlands recently celebrated its grand opening weekend, and the response was tremendous.

“This is the type of project that people have been waiting for,” Stone says.

There are two distinct communities at Harrison Highlands: Woodside and Briarwood. The exclusive Briarwood homes are located in a gated area, though the home types are the same for both communities within the larger community of Harrison Highlands. There are a variety of available

floorplans, including ranchers, one-and-ahalf storey plans and two-storey homes, with two to four bedrooms.

The master-on-main floorplans have been particularly popular, Stone says. Two-thirds of the homes at Harrison Highlands will include this feature.

The Craftsman architecture offers excellent curb appeal, while the expansive interiors feature nine-foot vaulted ceilings and large windows to allow the natural light to flood the home. European-made high-quality laminate flooring is featured throughout the main level, while gourmet-quality kitchens include maple cabinetry and elegant countertops (quartz in the Briarwood homes and laminate in the Woodside homes). The ensuite bathrooms in the master suite include dual sinks for added convenience, a relaxing soaker tub and a separate shower with tile surround and a frameless glass door. Homes

at Woodside include heated floors in the ensuite, while the Briarwood homes have infloor heat in the master bedroom as well.

The community includes homes with parking for recreational vehicles, landscaped parks and natural trails with amazing river and mountain views.

“There’s always something to see here,” Stone says. “Just check out our views!”

Future plans at Harrison Highlands include a neighbourhood commercial area for potential grocery stores, restaurants and other retail spaces.

“This is a fantastic place to raise a family,” Stone says.

Homes at Harrison Highlands start at $379,000, including GST. For more information, visit www.harrisonhighlands. ca or call toll-free 1-888-OUR-VIEW (6878439). The presentation centre is open Friday to Sunday between noon and 5 p.m. at 1524 Woodside Boulevard in Kent.

Getting the gutters cleaned out

By Kevin Gillies

A

utumn has arrived and so too have the elements that will assail your home through the next six months or more.

Shorter days mean lower temperatures, more precipitation, more leaves and more potential hazards to wreak havoc on your home’s structure — especially water.

One of the most important tasks to do around your home to prepare for autumn and winter is to remove the fallen leaves, especially those that land on your roof or, inevitably, in your gutters, eavestroughs or downspouts.

Leaves can clog essential water escape routes and possibly enter walls, garages, and other areas of your home where it can do tremendous damage.

As leaves and other autumn detritus fall, they can clog up your gutters and downspouts, preventing water from escaping your roof and getting away from your house.

“Right now it’s the beginning of the rainy season, so you definitely want to get the gutters cleaned out,” says Gorilla Property Services general manager Mark Amery.

His Maple Ridge-based company provides this service to people who cannot or do not want to do this themselves.

“We actually vacuum them out for people. Vacuuming and sponge cleaning them is even better,” Amery says.

“It’s probably 99 per cent of the work right now. It’s like that twice a year; spring and fall, right.”

Gutters and downspouts that fill with leaves and debris often welcome insects and other small creatures that nest in the detritus.

They can even try to get into your attic and, potentially, cause much damage.

Contributed

As leaves and other autumn detritus fall, they can clog up your gutters and downspouts, preventing water from escaping your roof and getting away from your house.

So it is important to take time to repeatedly clean eavestroughs, gutters and downspouts until all your area’s trees have completely shed their load of leaves.

The cleanings will help prevent water from entering your home.

Amery says the best chance to avoid damage is to make sure you water test all your downspouts.

“Make sure to have them water tested, all your downspouts,” Amery adds. “One of the worst things is getting a company or somebody cleaning your own gutters then you don’t water test the downspouts to

make sure they’re not clogged.”

There’s nothing worse than spending the whole day cleaning out all of your gutters, then to find out that it’s the downspouts that are clogged as well with gunk and debris. Then it won’t be long before the gutters fill up and the next thing is you start having overflow of the gutters again.

There is also a variety of products available to install on eavestroughs that keep leaves and creatures out while still letting water pass through. Checking with local home improvement stores or contractors

Purchasing or Selling a Home?

Your BEST

Donna Telep

can help provide information on what’s best for your home.

Here are tips on other things you should consider doing to help make your home more comfortable during autumn and winter: • Caulk around windows, doors and openings: Caulking around windows and doors helps prevent cold air from coming into the house and warm inside air from getting out. Having a good seal around windows, doors and other openings will not only help make your home comfortable, it will also help you save money on your energy bill

Besides windows and doors, caulking around vents (such as your dryer and bathroom exhaust fan) and cables and pipes that run outside of your house is also a good idea.

• Check and replace weather stripping: As weather stripping ages, it becomes less effective and needs replacing. Visually check stripping around exterior doors and windows (including garage) and replace worn or cracked stripping.

If you can feel air moving when your doors and windows are closed, ensure stripping has been installed properly or that it’s the correct stripping.

• Inspect your roof and chimney: It’s always a good idea to visually check your roof in the fall. Wildlife, weather conditions and tree foliage can speed up deterioration of shingles. Best to catch any issues before November’s downpours • Shut-off and drain outside faucets: Your outside faucets are susceptible to freezing in the winter and can lead to freezing pipes and faucets, creating expensive repair needs.

All outside faucets have a shut-off valve located inside, usually located close to where the faucet exits the house. Close the valve and drain the faucet.

Amery says Gorilla Property Services frequently does this for folks, as well.

“We can shut down [outside water faucets]. Some people ask us to turn off their water for them, which we can do. We don’t blow out the lines or anything like that. But we can definitely shut it down. We usually have the little caps you can put on them for the winter; the insulated caps you can buy at Home Depot.”

Minor hockey board discusses ambitious goals with annual town hall meeting coming up

By Nei l Corbe tt sports@mapleridgenews.com

T

he Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association is getting a makeover, and it goes beyond the new-look website and the popular third jerseys.

The association is heading into an Oct. 23 annual financial meeting and town hall event. Members of the board of directors went over some of the things this group has accomplished since taking on their jobs at the beginning of last season.

Open books High on the agenda next Thursday will be an audited version of financial books.

Association president Scott Falconer said the RMMHA will be running a deficit for the second straight year.

“There are several things that factor into that.

We are faced with some of the highest ice costs in the Lower Mainland,” said Falconer.

“Ice costs, in and of themselves, are probably one of our biggest challenges as an association.”

Vice-president of administration Evelyn Pederson explained that ice rental fees rise three to five per cent each year, but the association has been holding the line on raising registration fees.

RMMHA pays some $550,000 per year for ice time, with the highest cost being prime time at Planet Ice for $305 per hour.

Compared with neighbouring associations, “the gap is fairly wide,” said Falconer.

The executive is working on an aggressive sponsorship program that will offer corpo-

rate partners exposure on the association’s revamped website, advertising in tournaments and email send-outs to members.

“The last thing you want to do is go to your parents and say,, ‘We need you to give more money out of your wallet,’” said Falconer.

He added, the executive will approach both local municipal governments for a new working arrangement to deal with high ice costs.

BU BUSINESS EXCELLENCE

AWARDS

With 1,000 kids playing on 62 teams, Ridge is among the six largest minor hockey associations in B.C. Registration is still growing, and as the community expands, the association will need more ice surfaces to keep up with demand. It’s a long-term plan, but the executive wants to start the conversation, “In Maple Ridge, our kids play hockey. We have a community inside of 100,000 people, and we have over 1,000 kids who play hockey,” said Derek Gullmes, vice-president of C hockey. “We need another sheet of ice.”

The executive doesn’t like the fact that its kids, both house league and rep, must get up for ice times as early as 5:30 a.m.

“Show me any other sport that has practices before school,” said Gullmes. “For some reason, hockey has been designated as the sport that practices before school.”

Lots of kids can’t make it, families can’t arrange rides, and eight kids is a good turnout for early morning practice.

There’s a solution right under their feet at Planet Ice. “Right next door there’s an NHL sheet of ice sitting under that curling rink that sits vacant a very large portion of the time,” said Gullmes.

“It’s ready to go.”

He said the facility would need boards and change rooms built, then the community could increase its ice availability by 20 per cent.

Of course, a new location for the Golden Ears Curling Club would be part of the solution, making this simple solution a long-term project.

The association is starting its second season with a full-time, paid profession director of hockey development, and so far the board is hearing positive reviews.

“Everything that I’ve ever been told, it’s excellent,” said Falconer.

“James [Eccles] has done a fantastic job on the ice.”

He characterized parent reaction as “extremely positive,” despite some controversy before the hiring.

“In my opinion, it was definitely the right move,” said Falconer, adding that more associations in

B.C. are following suite.

Gullmes called the position “a great resource,” and said the C coaches are getting better by participating with and observing Eccles.

“Our little guys, right now, we’re seeing them be more prepared, better skilled as they exit their programs,” he said.

Blaine Hallman, vicepresident of A hockey, said rep teams used to hire power skating and other specialist coaches on a team-by-team basis, at rates of $100 per hour.

That funding has been effectively redirected, and now there is a consistent coaching style across RMMHA.

“We have someone with a long-term vision,” said Hallman. “We’re all developing the same way, we’re all approaching each practice at each level the same way.”

Parents say the development kids are getting at the Hockey 1-3 levels is “light years ahead” under Eccles, according to Hallman.

“It will build more competitive teams, eventually. But right now, you’re working on skill sets for the kids,” he added. “The product on the ice, as far as development goes, has never been better. It’s outstanding.”

mantra is Respect, Desire, Pride for an association that is trying to change its brand.

There is a new third jersey that has exceeded expectations in sales.

The executive hoped 10 teams might buy sets of the shirts. Kids pay $110 and get a semi-pro quality jersey that they can keep at the end of the season, and which they are allowed to put a name bar on. They are closing in on 20 teams buying them.

“Not too long ago, people were somewhat ashamed to say they played in Ridge Meadows,” said Gullmes. “The pride just wasn’t there.

I don’t know where it went. But that’s a core piece we’re trying to reinstill.”

Hallman sees it turning around.

“The pride thing starts to be infectious. That’s what we’re trying to change, and it’s working,” he said.

Falconer notes that other hockey associations have banners and displays in their arenas.

“In our arenas, we don’t have any of our successes displayed. We don’t have any of our banners hung.

We don’t have any of the celebration of the players who did come out of the RMMHA who made it to the WHL, or went on to a good college career, or made it to the NHL. “We need that. Those guys deserve it. Brendan Morrison and Andrew Ladd deserve that recognition, and we want our little guys to see that if you work hard and apply yourself, kids from Maple Ridge can make it.”

Mountains of work The group has done “a mountain of work” on a new policy manual.

This year it also revamped the evaluation process for both A and C players, hoping to eliminate “suspect views” of what used to be called tryouts.

Falconer admits it’s not a perfect science, and it can still be subjective. But the key principle was fairness for all of the 300-plus kids who tried out for rep teams.

The association has also hired a bookkeeper to help handle the finances, the board feeling it is not fair to ask a volunteer to be responsible for a $900,000 budget.

Gullmes, a long-time member of the association, said the board is running as well as it ever has, if not better.

“It’s extraordinarily healthy and functional.”

Falconer says there’s a good foundation to build on.

OBITUARIES

OWEN, GERALD, FREDRICK AUGUST 17, 1936 – OCTOBER 9, 2014 Gerry died peacefully at home on Oct 9, 12:15am after a 3 year battle with a bone infection.

He lived a full and adventurous life. He was the second son of Norm and Mary Owen. Raised in Haney, he started his adventure at 15 years old. Wanting to be a bronc rider, he traveled the rodeo circuit. As a teen, he worked with his Uncle Steve on the mink farm where he learned his trapping skills. After high school, Gerry started logging and continued doing so until his accident in 1995. During his 20’s, he got his pilots license and flew up and down the coast delivering Pile Drivers to and from their work. On Oct 4th 1957, Gerry married his first love, Deanna Wood. Soon after his marriage, he began working at his dad’s hotel, The Maple Ridge Hotel. His accident did not stop him from being active. He continued to drive his truck, pull a 27 foot travel trailer, drive his tractor, plant his garden, pull logs out of the bush, and his proudest accomplishment was filling up his woodshed. He loved the sport of curling and he enjoyed playing and coaching baseball. He was honored to call the names of WW1 veterans on Remembrance Day with his youngest grandson Malcom. His happiest moments were with his family going on summer holidays each year and the yearly Christmas sing-a-longs.

He leaves many happy memories with his wife Deanna of 57 years, children, Allan (Debbie), Colleen (Martin) and John (Kris).

Grandchildren: Laura, Theresa, Douglas, Michael, Kiirsti, Kent, Sheena, Tanya, Erintaya and Malcom. Great-grand children Hana, Aiden, Conner, Jack, Sam and Leah. He was a special brother-in-law to Viola and Sally and special Papa Gerry to Kevin, Kerry, Kent, Bryce and Clayton. Gerry also leaves behind brothers Marv (Maureen) George (Jeannette) and sister Mary.

Special Thanks to Francine, Nurses, Heather, Tammy and Vicki, We Care aids plus Yarka, Daisey and Emily, WCB staff, Dr Larry Lim and Heather, Dr Auersperg and Colleen at Ambulatory, VGH staff, Nigel and Shelly, Dr Papp and Dr Willms.

PRESLEY, LILLIAN F (Neal) AUGUST 19, 1921 – OCTOBER 9, 2014

She had a Beautiful Smile.

Lillian F. Presley (Neal) passed October 9th at the age of 93.

Born in Stoughton, Saskatchewan, she is survived by her sisters Marie Donison and Betty Harach and her brother Gordon Neal as well as her children, Dale (Linda), Wayne (Pat) and Vicki, her grandchildren Clint (Lisa), Devon and Kim (Cody) and her great-grandchildren, Logan, Jada-Dawn, Layne and Eberle.

She is now reunited with 5 of her siblings Marion, Roy, Burville, Roger and Ken and two half-sisters, Vera and Unice.

Mom served her country during WW11 as a Corporal in the Canadian Armed Forces from May 20 1942 to Sept 14, 1944.

She received a medical discharge for donating blood too often at the blood bank.

Her favorite things were dancing in the early years and playing snooker in her senior years.

Her last 10 years were spent in the care of the staff at Three Links Manor to whom we are very grateful for all they did for ‘ feisty ’ Lil. In the spring, when the roses begin to bloom, Mom’s ashes will be taken to Maple Ridge, BC to be close to her loving Mother, Edith Neal, who passed in 1989.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kelowna General Hospital Foundation.
