Anita Hauck had lived at the camp on Cliff Avenue since its inception.

Cliff camp leader ‘touched souls’ Anita Hauck was always helping others

n the dark of his tent at the Cliff Avenue homeless camp on Wednesday, Ken Reaume was struggling, poring over old loose notebook sheets of poems and letters.

They had been written by his partner, Anita Hauck, 45, who died Sunday night after getting trapped in a clothing donation bin at Meadowtown Shopping Centre in Pitt Meadows.

In beautiful hand writing, Anita tells Ken in several poems that she hopes he still cares, and that everything she does is for him. “She was my soul mate,� he said in a low voice.

RCMP officers were on Cliff Avenue on Wednesday as residents of the homeless camp cleaned the street in preparation of it being dismantled.

Camp clean-up begins New city shelter opened Thursday B y P h i l M e l nychuk pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

The temporary shelter for the homeless opened its doors Thursday, and with that began the clean up of the Cliff Avenue camp.

Police, bylaws and cleanup crews were already on site Wednesday, trying to disentangle tarps and poles, tents, furniture and bicycle wheels, and hundreds of plastic bags.

“We have every hope that they’ll move to the shelter, that’s what it’s there for,� said Ridge Meadows RCMP Sgt. Casey Baker.

The RCMP have a good working relationship with the camp residents and the goal will be to help them move over to the shelter on Lougheed Highway, kitty corner from the camp, with as much dignity as possible, Baker said.

The process will be a gradual one that will take days.

The area occupied by one tent that had already been removed had enough materials to fill at least a pickup truck.

City officials say that most campers want to move to the shelter, but early in the morning someone posted on Facebook a picture of a sign saying residents wouldn’t leave without an injunction.

That would require the city to go to Supreme Court to get a court order allowing police to remove people from the area.

But that won’t happen unless campers refuse to leave.

At the city shelter, in the former Sleep Shop next to the KFC, RainCity Housing staff were preparing for the influx and expected

the 40 beds to be full by the end of the day Thursday. “We’ll be working really closely with outreach teams,� said assistant manager Alisha Bold-deHaughton.

When people arrive, they’ll be interviewed and asked for their recent housing history. Nurses will be on site twice a week and there will be mental health services.

Bold-de-Haughton said she and manager Darlene Boulette have done this a long time and it’s their area of speciality.

Tougher laws sought after dog’s death Justice for Buttons rally set for Tuesday

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Firstly, John McDonald watched as his pet Shih Tzu cross was savaged by a bull mastiff. Then, faced with uncertain abdominal surgery, a leg amputation and a potential $14,000 veterinary bill, the pensioner and his wife Yvonne had to make the agonizing decision to put Buttons down.

Now, they want the city to toughen its dog bylaw, and will be heading to Pitt Meadows council on Tuesday.

The couple was out for a walk and stopped at the outdoor patio at McDonalds on Harris Road. Yvonne went inside to order. John waited outside, where the mastiff attacked.

“It turned around and saw Buttons, and just dashed at him,” said John.

The small dog struck a submissive pose, rolling onto his back, and the mastiff “just clamped his jaws on his stomach,” said John.

The mastiff was big and strong enough that at one point five people were trying to make him release his bite, and get him under control.

Buttons was not the typical companion dog. He enjoyed a bit of celebrity. He had put in thousands of service hours as a companion dog at Ridge Meadows Hospital, local seniors homes, and in Pitt Meadows library literacy programs.

John explained that his dog was considered library staff. The kids in the program would get him to do his tricks – rolling over, crawling and dancing on his hind legs. Then they would sit and read stories to the dog,

Buttons had put in thousands of hours of volunteer work at hospitals, seniors homes and libraries. more motivated to open a book.

John got the idea of making Buttons a therapy dog after he visited with an Alzheimer’s patient. He was a playful pup, about seven months old, at the time.

“The man started laughing, and his wife said it was the first time he’d laughed like that in eight or 10 years.”

The loss of their dog hit the McDonalds hard.

“It was a real hard decision,” he said of euthanizing Buttons.

Yvonne said $14,000 would be about a year’s income for seniors on a fixed income, and they could not

compel the mastiff owner to pay it.

Their veterinary bill ended up at $1,200, and the McDonalds were told by the bull mastiff ’s owner will cover it. The mastiff owners had called the veterinary clinic to contact the couple.

Yvonne is critical of the fact that a known aggressive dog has killed her pet, and believes it should be put down.

There is a Facebook page called Justice For Buttons. She will be part of a delegation to city council on Tuesday. There will be a rally at Spirit Square Park at 6:30 p.m., and they will walk in to city hall.

“I am so mad. I was hurt, but now I’m mad,” she said. “What happens if this dog bites a person?”

Now, the likely answer is that it would be destroyed.

Pitt Meadows CAO Kim Grout explained that the bylaws department received an earlier complaint, several months ago, about the mastiff acting aggressively toward another dog. It was not deemed a dangerous dog under the bylaw at that time.

However, the bylaws officer suggested that the owner muzzle the dog in public.

She was complying with that request, said Grout. When the mas-

tiff ’s owner went into the restaurant on Monday, she tied the dog to a fence. An acquaintance untied the animal and removed its muzzle so that it could get a drink of water, the city was told. That is when the attack occurred.

The city said that version of events has been confirmed by a number of witnesses.

Now that the dog has a “dangerous” designation, the owner must comply with a number of restrictions, including having it muzzled in public, not allowing it to run loose on its property, having a dangerous dog sign posted and other measures.

According to city spokesperson Lorna Jones, “seizure of dogs is only provided for if the owner of a dangerous dog is in contravention of the written notice or a justice, by warrant, under the community charter, authorizes an animal control officer to enter and search the place and to seize the dog.

“Destruction of a dog that has been seized and impounded can only occur if the dog is unclaimed, with the consent of the dog owner, or pursuant to a court order after an application is made to the provincial court.”

Because this dog had not previously been deemed “dangerous,” it will not be ordered destroyed under the bylaw.

Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker said it is a “terrible situation,” and agreed with the notion that dog owners “should absolutely be responsible for the damage their dogs do.”

However, he said council should not make a reactionary decision to change a bylaw that was recently rewritten, otherwise “the pendulum swings too far the other way.”

Dingwall blasts council’s social media policy Limits freedom of expression: councillor

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Pitt Meadows council has adopted a new social media policy that one councillor says infringes on his right to freedom of expression.

Coun. Bill Dingwall, a retired RCMP superintendent, warned council that a majority of four members of council cannot override the Charter of Rights and

Freedoms.

Under the bylaw, council will decide whether an online posting by its members constitutes damage to the city or council’s reputation. Dingwall said politics could enter council’s decisions.

“This body is not neutral, you can tell by the conversations” he added.

“The courts ultimately define harm to a reputation, and it’s not up to city council to do that.”

Dingwall said that over the past six months there have been several efforts to limit freedom of

speech. At that point, Mayor John Becker ruled him out of order, saying “please stick to the motion.”

Dingwall said that, in the political forum, dissenting opinions should be encouraged.

“The policy, in my view, goes too far,” said Dingwall.

Mayor Becker prefaced the debate by saying the policy was deemed necessary because of Facebook comments made by members of the previous council, which some councillors felt were inappropriate and reflected poor-

ly on council as a whole.

Coun. Janice Elkerton said businesses, corporations, nonprofit organizations and other municipalities have social media policies, so they can expect good behaviour from the members of their organizations. These were used in writing the Pitt Meadows policy.

She characterized the policy as promoting “common courtesy.”

The policy is intended to reduce trolling in social media, said Coun. Bruce Bell.

“For me, this is really about

bullying,” said Coun. Bruce Bell, saying “keyboard cowards” have taken anonymous shots at him.

“I have no problem with people making comments, but be respectful. But they don’t.”

According to a staff report, the policy is intended to offer clear guidelines on social media use for council members.

The policy says councillors will be held accountable for on and off-duty conduct on social media sites if in negatively impacts the city.

The Maple RidgePitt Meadows school board is about to ask the Education Ministry for funding for new schools, and thinks having the growth of six more elementary classes than forecast should make a stronger case.

Board chair Mike Murray said the historic growth in the Albion area, combined with approximately 200 more elementary students from families moving to Maple Ridge, should help the board get provincial funding for new schools. “We would hope we are able to get a good look by the ministry,� said Murray.

The board will ask the Education Ministry for funding to build a new

elementary school in Albion, at a school site on 104th, and acquire a second site in the Albion area to accommodate another 550 students.

It will also ask the ministry to support a new school site in Silver Valley.

Each school would have a capacity of 550 students.

Maple Ridge council has supported the board in plans to build new schools in Albion and Silver Valley, where new residential development in the city is taking place.

The Education Ministry needs to see the overall plan before approving new construction. “This plan, when it’s finally adopted, with whatever changes are made, will be the basis of our final capital submission to the ministry,� said Murray. “We need to get on

The facilities plan was presented to the public in an open house on Wednesday night at Maple Ridge secondary.

The plan attempts to even out enrolment at district schools by redrawing boundaries, and offering programs of choice as schools with smaller populations.

With the plan, a new early French Immersion program is to be established at Maple Ridge elementary, beginning in September 2016.

In addition, the French Immersion intake for September 2016 at Pitt Meadows elementary will be limited to two kindergarten classes, to balance the English and French programs at the school.

Samuel Robertson Technical will have its catchment area shrunken, to benefit Garibaldi secondary, which is un-

der-utilized.

The intake of Grade 8 students at SRT will be limited to 150 students per year, which will maintain the school population at 750 students.

There is still more work to do on the plan, and staff will study and make recommendations about: • a fine arts academy at Garibaldi, and a fine arts focus at Blue Mountain elementary, with an in-depth review is to be done, with a recommendation to the board by March 2016; • an in-depth review of the International Baccalaureate program at Garibaldi to be completed by the end of December 2015; • new trades programs in horticulture and auto collision repair.

The board is scheduled to adopt its final facilities plan on Oct. 14.

Shelter from front

Tim Fitzgerald/THE NEWS

Bill Briscall, with RainCity Housing, prepares beds at the city’s homeless shelter, which opened Thursday. day.

It will close in April, after the six-month period. The city has yet to determine what happens after that.

Coun. Craig Speirs said clearing Cliff Avenue will give relief to the homeowners there who’ve put up with the camp since May. “Everybody is an individual.

Everybody has rights.”

He added the death of camp resident Anita Hauck last Sunday after being stuck in a clothing bin has sent a ripple through the entire community.

“That’s been terrible.”

“If online posts are found to constitute harassment, or have potentially negative consequences for the city, consideration will be made on a case-by-case basis by forwarding inflammatory posts to the city’s human resources and communication department and/or the RCMP for possible investigation and action,” reads the policy.

Responding to Bell, Coun. Tracy Miyashita said that she was disappointed when a respectful workplace policy proposed by she and Dingwall was rejected by council as a whole.

Miyashita said she has generally used social media to engage the public, but has curtailed those efforts because she does not want to run afoul of council’s new rules.

She called it a “paralyzing and limiting” policy.

Miyashita suggested council revisit the policy

in six months, and that was supported by council.

After the meeting, Dingwall said he will consider bringing the policy before the provincial ombudsman.

“I’m very concerned about what took place,” he said. “Elected people are expected to have opinions, and expected to debate.

“People shouldn’t be afraid of commentary that is counter to their own,” said Dingwall.

Becker, who is a lawyer in his professional life, is confident council has not passed a policy that is stifling freedom of expression.

“It’s pretty middle of the road,” he said. “It has been distilled from a number of other policies.”

He said a scheduled review should alleviate concerns.

“If it doesn’t work, we’ll bring it back and change it.”

However, there is minimal storage on site for residents’ property. The City of Maple Ridge will provide some off-site storage space for possessions.

Outside the shelter, in a fenced-off, screened area, there’s an outdoor smoking area.

One resident wondered if the area was the minimum 7.5 metres away from the nearest doorway or window, as required by the city’s new smoking bylaw.

But that was checked when the shelter was being prepared.

“I believe that it is within the bylaw restrictions,” said Boldde-Haughton.

City bylaws were in the process of rechecking Thursday to see if it complies.

Superseding politics The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada.

It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach.

But this is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world – that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that.

Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese “boat people” were taken in by this country.

Compassion has to supersede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond.

While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable response.

It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue.

We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians.

And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can.

And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same profile, still need our attention.

The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them, is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue.

Horse gentling in the Cariboo “If you get a horse that’s had what you want it to do beat into it by force - the way most guys train horses – you’ll always have problems with it” – Russell Kast

K

ast manages the Ashcroft Ranch, a cattle Along the Fraser Jack Emberly operation that spans miles of range and feed production land. He’s a third generation Albertan cowboy with a passion for “colt starting” – training horses in the complex role of managing steers – tasks like cutting cattle out of a herd, or controlling them in close places such as corrals.

Traditionally, Step 1 was to make a horse submit to a saddle by riding him until he quit bucking. To ‘break’ a horse meant crushing his rebellious spirit.

Colt starters, like Kast, take a gentle, thoughtful approach.

“Some call it horse whispering,” Kast told me last week in Cache Creek. “I call it horse naturalizing.”

In the process, the horse is slowly encouraged to accept saddles, bridges, and to learn the jobs he’s expected to perform for the cowboy, his partner, rather than his servant.

It’s a frosty Sept. 27. Scott Magri and I are here to watch Russ start a new colt, but

uestion of the week:

it’ll have to wait. There’s alfalfa in fields to be bailed, work set back two weeks when machines broke down.

Kast leaned on the hood of his old Dodge 4x4, and adjusted a wide straw hat that had seen better days. He paused to light up a cigarette, and tucked it between teeth under a long handlebar mustache. The hat dipped in the middle, shading eyes that looked straight at me.

“You say cowboys who use force on horses have problems later,” I said.

“The horse won’t chase the cow if he’s not ready,” Kast explained. “He’ll just tighten up. Some guys will push him, fight with the horse, ride him down. But, now he’s mad. He puts his head down. Then the next time that cowboy wants to go over to get that cow, the horse might not want to do it. He puts his head down again ’cause he remembers, and the cowboy still doesn’t get the cow.”

Kast pulled on his cigarette before continuing.

“If I’m having trouble with a horse, it means I’m not paying enough attention to him. Then, something spooks him. That’s when he blows up. Best thing to do is take him off what’s bothering him for awhile, and walk him around a circle till he’s calm. Then try again. “ Patience is the key in colt starting.

“To train a horse, I’ll change it up. I’ll take him to a point where they’re just about uncomfortable, back off if he’s having trouble, bring him back to something he’s comfort-

“Have you been bucked off when you get on a horse the first time,” Scott asked.

“Don’t think so because you’re not asking much then. If I’m gonna run into trouble, it’s usually after about a month. I’ll be chasing a cow and he’ll remember something that spooked him. In the initial stages, though, they rarely buck.”

“If I’m having trouble with a horse, it means I’m not paying enough attention to him.”

Earlier this summer, Scott and I rode backcountry with Wayne Griffith of the Hesperian Ranch near Clinton. My mount, Cher, knew the trail and wanted a free rein. I gave it to her most times. At the end of the ride, she nuzzled me, affectionately.

“She seemed grateful for the independence I gave her,” I told Russ.

“That’s probably right,” he said.

I offered again to trade the hat I bought at a local gas station for his worn out one. He grinned. Real cowboys look you straight in the eye, give you a firm handshake, but never part with their hats.

Thank you for new shelter

online comments Go where?

Darlene Dreger · Re: Finding homes for the homeless (mapleridgenews.com).

B.C. Housing will be causing an increase in the homeless as of October of this year.

Single people who are living in a two-bedroom apartment and who are being subsidized by B.C. Housing will only be given the value of a onebedroom. The balance will need to come from the tenants themselves.

Most of the people that I personally know about had a roommate or spouse and for many reasons find themselves alone now. They can not move as there is no place for them to go. Sure it’s easy to say, ‘Well, families need these apartments.’ But what is going to happen to those being subsidized that are now considered over-housed? They don’t have the money to pay the difference in rent. They will be forced out and go where?

Editor, The News: Re: Residents skeptical about shelter (mapleridgenews.com) I am one year shy of being 80 years old.

I am thankful every day for the fact that I had responsible, caring parents who raised us five siblings to be responsible citizens.

Not everyone is that lucky, so they grow up in unstable environments or make unhealthy choices and end up in situations like on Cliff Avenue.

Thank you to the wonderful people

who are trying to rind solutions to this situation.

Thank you for opening up the building to house these people on Cliff Avenue.

I think we all need to be compas-

“Let’s all be thankful for our own fortunate lives, no matter how hard we work.”

sionate and realize that in this neverending situation, the unfortunate will be in a controlled situation – out of the cold.

Hopefully, the troubled, the drug addicted, or mentally ill will be channelled into proper care, rather than living on the streets.

Let’s all be thankful for our own fortunate lives, no matter how hard we work.

We all have a lot to be thankful for.

Real moral crisis in the world is indifference Editor, The News: I submit that the real moral crisis in the world today is the mental apathy, or indifference, and spinelessness of millions of citizens who wallow in it.

Mentally lazy and spineless people get conned, used and exploited, all while supporting and even being so stupid as to thank those who con, use and exploit them.

On the other hand, who can

harshly blame those of them who are pre-occupied with using all their energy and meager resources to barely stay alive.

Excluding some First Nations communities and inner city areas where grass roots people are barely staying alive, this is not as big an issue in North America and Europe as it is in other places of the world.

We have tables of plenty, especially here in Canada.

The greedy, wealthy, clever, selfish and influential dine on the very best at it.

The poor and discouraged wait aside, scrambling and even begging for the left overs and crumbs dropped or even thrown to them from the tables.

It appears that the current Catholic Pope who was recently in the U.S. addressed exactly this moral crisis.

Ignoring him – while putting on the façade that they are not ignoring him – were and remain the greedy, wealthy, clever, selfish and influential.

Equally as disturbing are those recipients of crumbs thrown their way, those who have sold their souls in order to become comfortable based on the crumbs – even in relatively small ways – or who badly want to be so, immoral wan-

They cuddle up to and mimic their crumb-dropping masters while mentally and physically remain indifferent by distancing themselves from the poor.

Is the term social-economic climbers, or yuppies or even hypocrites, too kind to describe them?

face in bed.”

“She touched so many souls, so many people. She was so kind hearted. She’d give the shirt, to help anybody who needed help,” he added.

“We had plans.”

They had an appointment to look at an apartment.

Hauck used to love writing and had several poems she wanted published, then forgot about, only to learn that Ken had held kept them.

“I cannot undo the things I’ve done wrong They happened so very long ago, I cannot live down what others have done But somehow I have to carry that load All I can do is live each and every day Trying to prove in every way My old self and old ways have changed And I did it all for your love Reaume hands out another crumpled piece of paper that bears an equally heartfelt message from his wife.

“I miss the way you hold me tight Hearing you talk in your sleep all night I miss your touch, your strong embrace And staring in your gorgeous face I miss the funny things you do Hearing you say, ‘baby, I love you’ I miss the way you keep my head When we are face to

“Ken, I love you so much,” she concludes.

Hauck died trying to help others when she was trying to get clothes out of the bin, said Reaume.

Hauck was trying to get a blanket and a jacket for someone who had their possessions taken by the city bylaws department.

“She did it all the time. She was used to those boxes.”

Reaume said Hauck came from Ontario or the eastern U.S. and had to take care of her siblings at an early age.

“She loved her children very much.”

Hauck spoke out often in championing the cause of the homeless.

During an all-candidates meeting during the November civic election, she told the four mayoralty candidates about the high cost of housing and low income assistance rates. She made her case before the mayor and sought media to air her views.

“Pretty much always tried to be helpful to everybody,” said Brian Smeding, whose wife Dr. Liz Zubek runs a medical clinic on Cliff Avenue.

“She wasn’t shy of talking. She didn’t have a problem talking to the mayor, or anybody.”

Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read had met Hauck several times.

“She made a huge

Hauck said the Salvation Army emergency shelter funding shouldn’t be cut, as requested by the City of Maple Ridge of B.C. Housing.

Hauck, who was a crack cocaine addict for 15 years in Vancouver, had said the Salvation Army’s Caring Place helps many people find treatment.

But she agreed the Cliff Avenue camp should be cleared up once the temporary shelter on Lougheed Highway opened.

The process has already begun after the shelter opened Thursday.

At the time, she said bystanders who yell at the homeless should keep one thing in mind: “There’s not a thing you can say to us that we haven’t said to ourselves.”

Hauck also volunteered at Salvation Army’s Caring Place nearby for many years.

“We want it known that she will be dearly missed by many people here,” said Darrell Pilgram, with the Caring Place.

No service arrangements have been made for Hauck, although Pilgram’s been in contact with the family.

Hauck use to share her poetry at the Caring Place and had wonderful ideas about the future, he added.

“I believe that Anita was always trying to make the world a better place.”

impression on my soul, to be honest,” Read said.

“She was a really important member of the community. It’s sad.

It’s terrible.”

Hauck was also at the protest that formed on Cliff Avenue on May 6, which led to the establishment of the camp.

One of her main goals, Reaume noted, was to find a piece of land and set up an outdoor campsite for the homeless and the addicted. Solving the problem isn’t as simple as bringing someone inside, he added.

Fellow camp resident Linda ‘Mama Bear’ Whitford knew Hauck from when they were both in Vancouver 20 years ago.

Hauck was there when Whitford’s son was born. And Whitford was there when Hauck’s daughter was born.

“She held my son for the first time and now he’s 19 years old,” Whitford said.

“She was a beautiful person who loved life and just tried to help everybody.”

Whitford said Hauck went to the clothing bins every day.

“She knows those bins. That was her biggest fear, to be found in a bin, upside down.”

Whitford said that Hauck regularly retrieved clothes from bins so she could give them away.

Concern over parks, rec pay Some salaries up 15 per cent

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

The raises that Maple Ridge has been giving its administrative staff are too rich for its parks and recreation partner, said some Pitt Meadows council members.

Coun. Janis Elkerton had asked for a report on staff pay increases for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows parks and lei-

sure services after complaints about of large raises.

From 2012 to 2014, wages of exempt staff rose almost 11 per cent, from $1.4 to $1.56 million for 12 positions.

Among the largest increases in total remuneration were two at more than 18 per cent, as manager of business operations Danielle Pope went from $89,000 to $105,000, and general manager Kelly Swift from $170,000 to $202,000. Director of parks and facilities David Boag had a 16 per cent increase, from $139,000 to $161,000.

“We have no control of what our other partner pays in terms of salaries,” noted Coun. Bruce Bell.

“We’re good for our 20 per cent, but it’s not a bottomless pit.”

Coun. Bill Dingwall, who managed human resources for the RCMP, cautioned coun-

cil against “armchair opinions about salaries.”

He said Metro Vancouver regional district is conducting a regional review of salaries that would provide better context, and concrete data.

Coun. David Murray asserted the increases are out of line, and said it doesn’t take a human resources expert to see that.

“Just look at the percentage increases – those costs are through the roof.”

The report from Maple Ridge, signed by Swift, notes that “conclusions about overall changes should not be reached without an understanding of the drivers behind the changes.”

The matter was referred to council’s business planning session, which is part of the budget process.

“It confirms what I knew was going on,” Elkerton said after the

meeting.

She doesn’t buy the argument that some of the administrators deserve their wage increases because of added responsibility.

“You can have more responsibility, but there are only so many hours in a day.”

Mayor John Becker is reserving judgement, saying Pitt Meadows will need more information, and a better understanding of some retroactive increases that may have inflated the salary increases.

“Because the 2014 salaries reported are not representative of only the 2014 salaries, but also include the retroactive wages for 2012 and 2013, the true story is obscured,” said the report. “The reported salaries next year for 2015 will include a general wage increase, but when compared to 2014 will likely indicate a significant decrease.”

Medical pot in Hammond

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

Maple Ridge has a second medical marijuana dispensary.

The Hammond Compassion Society store has opened on Maple Crescent, across from Hammond cedar mill. “We are a non-profit organization,� said Brett Steeves, who’s running the store.

In order to access any medical marijuana, a person must be over 19, be a member of the compassionate society and have a doctor’s statement confirming their diagnosis. “The community, as a whole, has embraced the idea. They’re very positive,� Steeves said.

About 20 types of dried marijuana are available, but no edible marijuana products. That’s because there are no federal standards setting packaging, labelling or THC levels. “The reason we opened this, is we need a wheelchair-accessible facility.�

Steeves said 29 per cent of the client base for medical marijuana is physically challenged.

The store’s only been open two weeks and there are already 65 members. “Of the 65 people who signed up, 15 are cancer patients,� said Steeves.

With The Always Growing Green store in downtown Maple Ridge and the Hammond Compassion Society in west Maple Ridge, there is now one on both sides of the city, he pointed out.

The Always Growing Green Society started in December 2009.

Brett Steeves runs the Hammond Compassionate Society, which opened two weeks ago. “We’re here to serve the community. The response has been great.�

Having the store located on Maple Crescent can also be part of the revitalization of the area. “We want to be good community and corporate neighbours,� said Steeves.

Hammond resident Eric Phillips said he hasn’t heard a lot of opposition to the store. “I guess it’s inevitable to have them. It’s not my idea of establishing a commercial centre of Hammond.�

The city is currently working on an area plan for Hammond that will try to preserve its heritage while allowing growth.

According to the membership guidelines of the society, prospective members must get a confirmation of medical diagnosis through a practitioner’s statement.

However, not all doctors are willing to do that.

The society says people must find their own doctors willing to do that.

People who suffer from

Carrier of the Week

depression, ADHD, AIDS, epilepsy, anxiety, Parkinson’s disease or head injuries, to name just part of the list, need only a confirmation of a diagnosis.

The society also points out that while cannabis can help some mental health conditions, it also could be “deleterious� to some with mental health conditions. Those with severe conditions are monitored to ensure it’s of benefit, it says.

Members have to follow a code of conduct and agree not to resell the marijuana, while there’s also an educational introduction for new members.

club model should be followed across Canada because it provides a regulated way for people to access medicinal marijuana as well as provide first-hand advice for those seeking the product.

He wants council to discuss the issue and says Maple Ridge likely could limit the number of compassion clubs through zoning restrictions. But there is no city bylaw category for a compassionate club, he added.

The federal government’s Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations intends for people to buy their medicinal marijuana from large producers by mail.

Fewer records of our deaths Looking Back

By Val Patenaude

T

his is not to refer to any specific life recently lost, but to the practice of memorializing.

In our rapidly changing culture, traditional practices that were once seen as a requirement, no matter how expensive they were, are now seen as optional – not only by the family, but also by the person who would have been memorialized.

Not wanting to burden their family with the expenses, they opt for no service and no memorial and are simply cremated.

Sadly, the acknowledgement of their lives is also being set aside.

For people who become famous – or infamous – newspapers and the internet will help keep their memory alive.

But for the average person whose quiet heroism or generosity is known only to fam-

ily and friends, how do we recall them?

The Maple Ridge Museum and Archives gets requests from all over the world regarding people who have passed away – some many years ago and others quite recently.

It is always easier to find the older deaths as for the most part, an informative obituary was published.

For some of our pioneer citizens – like Hector Ferguson or Sam Robertson – the obituary could exceed 70 column inches.

But as we get past the year 2000, it is increasingly difficult to find any information with no obituary and no official grave site becoming ever more common.

The death certificate may come to be the only source of information.

We recently had an interesting exchange with the Seattle Genealogical Society, which sent us a package of First World War

related materials for a man named Thomas Gracey.

Since we have a Thomas Gracey of about the right age in our cemetery, the society thought it was him.

In the course of determining that our Thomas Gracey was not their Thomas Gracey, we learned that our Thomas has no story at all.

He was born in Ireland, came to Canada at some point and fetched up at Allco Infirmary, where he died.

All we have is a death certificate showing no next of kin or even a friend to sign it.

We will likely never know any more about him – a sad fact.

This summer, Maple Ridge Museum and Archives was the sponsor of two events in our cemetery – a headstone cleanup, then tours by Maple Ridge Historical Society president Erica

Williams.

All were well attended by enthusiastic people.

It is clear that the cemetery as a community record is a valuable asset, but what of all the people who are not included?

It is very easy to understand the financial pressures on families these days. But the memorializing process is important. It seals people into the community memory.

If you’ve lost someone close, take some time to write a story about them – who they were, what they liked, whose lives they touched – and maybe add a few photos, and give that package to your community archives.

You will do a great service for the community and for the family history researchers of the future.

TIPS FOR BUYING “An inspection process begins with a knowing eye— and a sharp pencil.”

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Hiring a home inspector: Avoiding unfortunate surprises

By Nicolle Hodges

Two people walk into a house; one sees the issues and the other does not. It may sound like the beginning of a joke, when in reality a proper home inspection is a serious step in the home buying process that is recommended to involve a Certi-

fied Home Inspector and not rely solely on the homebuyer.

Technically there are no government regulations that require a home inspection, but the risk is that if a problem is overlooked, it can end up costing more money down the line.

When it comes to home inspections, it’s safe to say

that James Dobney of James Dobney Inspections knows what he’s doing. His company has performed tens of thousands of pre-purchase home inspections. He says that he’s seen the industry change from a time when only about 5 percent of homebuyers used a home inspector, to today, when approximately 95 percent of resale homes are inspected prior to purchase.

“The thing that has surprised me the most over the past thirty years of inspecting homes is how little most homeowners know about the condition of their homes,” says Dobney. “This, perhaps, can be explained by the fact that the majority of homeowners don’t have the knowledge to determine the condition of many of the systems in their home until they fail. The phrase, ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ may also explain the lack of knowledge of many homeowners.”

Dobney implores homeowners to ask themselves when was the last time they went into the crawlspace, attic or onto the roof? Would they be able to identify an

existing or potential problem even if they did?

While it isn’t practical to hire a home inspector to look at every home you are considering, a comprehensive checklist can be a significant benefit when looking to prioritize which home to place an offer on.

Some inspection companies, including James Dobney Inspections, are willing to send out a checklist to assist homebuyers in their search.

“A good checklist will help you narrow the field and increase the odds of finding the home of your dreams,” says Dobney.

However the checklist executed by the homeowner is just the first lookover. There are still many benefits to hiring an actual home inspector.

According to Dobney, the home inspection should help determine if significant repairs are required, how the condition of the home compares to one of a similar age and design, and what kinds of maintenance should be performed to keep the home functioning properly.

“Knowing the condition of the home you are intending to buy is vital in determining whether it is the right home at the right price,” says Dobney.

If you want a proper home inspection but are unsure about the cost, consider that typically, the larger, older and more complex the home the higher the fee will be.

“The inspection fee for most single-family homes will be in the $400 to $800 range. Be wary of ‘one size fits all’ pricing,” says Dobney.

Dobney’s top 5 tips B Ask questions: What are the inspector’s qualifications? Is the inspector licensed? How long will the inspection take? What kind of report will you receive? In British Columbia, pre-purchase home inspectors are required by law to have a license, which is administered by Consumer Protection BC. When shopping for an inspector your questions should be answered by a knowledgeable person in a timely fashion.

C Hiring the company: You should hire an inspection company that encourages you to attend the inspection and is able to schedule it accordingly. By being there you will maximize the benefits of your inspection.

D Role of inspector: Your home inspector should never recommend whether or not you should purchase a home. The role of a home inspector is to tell you about the condition of the home not whether it is the right home for you. There could be multiple, significant problems with the house that may already be reflected in the price, or you may be able to renegotiate the price to pay for the required repairs. No house is perfect and anything can be fixed.

E The bigger picture: A home inspection is only a piece in the home buying puzzle. The results should be combined with your own diligence. It’s my observation, after thirty years in the home inspection business, that the buyer who works hardest at looking for a house (usually with the assistance of a competent Realtor) makes the best choice.

F Unbiased assistance: Use a company that has ongoing, complimentary telephone support to answer any technical questions you have about your home for as long as you own it. Your home inspector should not be selling any repair or maintenance services and, as such, should be able to give you an unbiased answer to your question.

Autumn tips to get ready for winter

By Kevin Gillies

W

ith the arrival of fall, it’s time to take steps to ensure your home is ready for the cold air, and, of course, the rain.

And the North Fraser region gets no shortage of that.

So fixing little problems in the fall can help prevent them from becoming expensive headaches for homeowners, while keeping your home comfortable.

Plus, a home with air leaks around windows and doors could be a costly home to heat through the fall and winter months.

Weather stripping can deteriorate over time, so it is important to inspect it every autumn to ensure it doesn’t need replacing.

Gaps in caulk and weather-stripping can account for as much as a 10 per cent of your home’s heating bills, according to energy-use experts in the U. S. Installing, or replacing worn weather stripping is easily the most cost-effective way to keep heating costs down.

It reduces drafts and keeps your home’s temperature comfortable all year round.

There are a couple of ways to check your weather stripping’s effectiveness, beyond a visual examination.

Close the door or window on a strip of paper to see if the paper slides out easily.

If it does, your weather stripping isn’t working effectively.

You can also close the door or window and hold a lighted candle near the door or window frame to see if the flame flickers at any spot along the frame. Flickering would indicate an air leak. Be careful to keep the flame away from anything flammable.

While you’re inspecting seals around doors and windows, look for missing or damaged caulking. Also check electrical, cable, phone and gas piping entry points for damaged caulk, then seal any gaps with a suitable caulk.

When it comes to the water part of fall, homeowners would be wise to inspect their roofs before the weather gets too nasty.

Few household problems are more frustrating than a leaky roof.

Once dripping begins, it can be challenging

Weather stripping can deteriorate over time, so it is important to inspect it every autumn to ensure it doesn’t need replacing.

and time consuming trying to find the source of the leak. Stopping roof-leak issues in the fall, before winter ice and winds turn them from annoyances into disasters, can be an investment in your own time and mental health.

Visually inspect your roof from top to bottom. You can use binoculars if it’s too difficult or unsafe to climb onto the roof.

Be sure to check ridge shingles for cracks and wind damage, plus look for wear or damage to metal flashing in valleys and around vents and chimneys.

Visually inspect the entire roof for shingles that are missing, curled, worn down, or damaged.

Also, fall is the time to ensure that outside faucets and in-ground irrigation systems don’t freeze and burst.

Close any water shut-off valves that serve outside faucets, then open the outside Also, now is the time to clean out or replace your furnace filter. This helps clean particle out of your home’s air circulation system and maintains your furnace’s good health.

The gutters around your home can gather accumulations of shingle granules.

This is a sure a sign that your roof is losing its coating and you can likely expect problems soon.

Autumn is also a good time to look over possible damage to walkways, drives, and steps. They can become dangerous hazards that are compounded when weather turns icy.

Look for cracks that are more than an eighth of an inch wide, and uneven sections, as well as loose railings on steps.

Also look out for disintegrating asphalt, or washed-out materials on loose-fill paths.

Cracks and holes can be patched with driveway patching compounds available at

O’Neill is coming off a 2015 season with the Bakersfield Blaze in the California League’s high Class A division, in which he hit .260 in 407 at bats over the course of 106 games.

The Maple Ridge’s slugger connected for 32 HR, 87 RBI and upped his slugging percentage to .558.

The free-swinging right-handed batter also struck out 137 times with the Blaze.

The high Class A California League saw its lowest offensive output since 1989, averaging 4.90 runs

per game in 2015.

O’Neill ranked 19th on the list after his home run totals skyrocketed in 2015.

The list included hitters occupying seven of the top 10 spots and 13 of the top 20 overall.

Inland Empire left hander Sean Newcomb tops the list.

This year’s prospect class comes on the heels of one of the best graduating groups in a long time, featuring the 2014 Cal League standouts Carlos Correa, Julio Urias and Corey Seager.

O’Neill was drafted in the third round, 85th overall by the Mariners in 2013. That year he hit .310 in 100 trips to the plate. He had one home run and 15 runs batted.

In 2014, he spent the bulk of the season with the Clinton LumberKings in the Midwest League’s

Neil Turner has been named the new technical director of the West Coast Auto Group Football Club.

Turner started his new role on Oct. 1, 2015, and will be responsible for all technical programs including coaching and training for all ages with the club.

“This role is critical to the club and is pivotal to our success, so it was important to us to find someone who would fit our goals and objectives,” said Chris Begg, WCAG- Turner FC president. “The additional role enhances what we feel is the best professional leadership team in youth sport.

Begg said Turner’s qualifications shows his passion for educating and mentoring coaches and players. Turner is a Master Learning Facilitator for the Canadian Soccer Association and B.C. Soccer. He has a BA in physical education from Trinity Western University, and his masters in performance analysis from the University of Middlesex in the U.K. Turner has 15 years of experience as assistant coach and head coach at Trinity Western University and he also has his Level 3 certification with the national coaching certification program and a goalkeeper coach certification with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Begg said Turner will work with both the club’s executive and board to design and implement technical programs, oversee coaching development, act as a liaison between the organization and soccer associations regionally and nationally, and other key responsibilities for player development.

“Our club has been very happy with the evolution of our players and coaches under the guidance of our current technical leadership. We believe the addition of Neil Turner will allow our players and coaches to further that evolution and offer our members an even higher caliber of soccer training and coaching,” said Begg.

Housing pledges for election Pricing out workers B y J eff Nagel Black Press

As home prices spiral up beyond the reach of many Lower Mainland residents, the federal parties are staking out different approaches on how they would deal with the housing affordability problem if elected.

Urban mayors have tried to make the issue a priority, arguing workers are being priced out of their cities, forcing many to commute farther – clogging roads and transit – and impairing future economic growth and livability.

The Conservatives have put the emphasis on increasing home ownership.

They’d expand the Home Buyers Plan to allow $35,000 to be withdrawn tax-free from RRSPs, up from $25,000 now.

The Tories would also create a permanent home renovation tax credit of

15 per cent, for a maximum of $750 a year when up to $5,000 is spent on eligible renovations.

A further home accessibility tax credit would give up to $1,500 in income tax relief on up to $10,000 in home improvements for seniors or the disabled.

In response to concerns that foreign investment has rapidly inflated Vancouver-area prices, Conservative leader Stephen Harper has pledged to begin collecting data on foreign buyers and act to curb foreign speculators, if necessary.

Other parties focus on support for rental and affordable housing.

The NDP say they’d use federal tax incentives to encourage developers to build 10,000 new affordable and market rental housing units over 10 years, at an estimated cost of $500 million.

That would answer cities’ complaints that too few purpose-built rental buildings have been constructed since similar federal incentives were dismantled in the mid-

1990s by the Liberals.

New Democrats are also pledging to renew federal subsidies that are soon set to expire at numerous housing co-ops in B.C. as their mortgages mature. Some of the buildings need major repairs, raising the spectre of rising rents or buildings converting to entirely market rates without extended federal aid.

Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has promised deficit spending to stimulate the economy, and a big chunk of that would include more investment in affordable housing and renewed aid for co-ops.

The Liberals would eliminate GST on new capital investments in affordable rental housing as well as offer $125 million a year in other tax incentives to expand and renovate the rental unit supply.

A Liberal reform to the Home Buyers Plan would let more people dip into RRSPs to buy a home without tax penalty – in scenarios like the death of a spouse, marital breakdown, relocation

for a job, or taking in an elderly parent – rather than just first-time buyers. The withdrawal limit would remain $25,000.

The Liberals also promise to review price trends in markets like Vancouver and convert some federal buildings and property to low-cost housing.

The Greens pledge even more generous housing aid to build 20,000 new affordable housing units a year and subsidize 40,000 additional low-income homes. They also vow to retrofit every Canadian home by 2030 through an expanded EcoEnergy program to make them more energy efficient and slash building emissions.

How bad is it?

The average price for a detached house with a yard reached $724,000 in the Fraser Valley this summer and nearly $1.5 million in Metro Vancouver.

“Vancouver’s housing affordability readings are nearing the worst levels ever recorded in Canada,” an RBC Economics report found in August.

The impact has varied by municipality, hitting Vancouver and some adjoining cities hardest with more than 50 per cent increases in detached house prices over five years, while houses have climbed a more modest 22 per cent in the Fraser Valley over that time frame.

Five-year price gains have been much more gradual for townhomes and condos, particularly in the Valley, where prices have been flat to negative in some areas.

For those who can’t afford to own, rents have also climbed.

Rent and utilities now average $1,054 in Metro Vancouver – where rental affordability is rated “critical” by a new rental housing index – and $860 in the Fraser Valley, which is rated “severe.”

Renters make up 51 per cent of households in Vancouver, but less than 30 per cent in every other Lower Mainland municipality except Burnaby, New Westminster and Langley City.

About 45 per cent of renters in the region spend more than the recommended limit of 30 per cent of income on shelter.
