Maple Ridge has new boss Ted Swabey understands his role as CAO

By P hi l M e lnychu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Swabey

Kristina Gervais, the executive director of the tourism office for the past five years, said she was surprised that Maple Ridge will not renew the agreement. “We’ve had nothing but praise for the work we have done,� she said.

That work is tourism marketing, attracting visitors, public awareness, operating the visitor’s centre and establishing an online presence. It is financed by both cities contributing $35,000 each, and the province funding another $10,000.

retired in May. “I’m really big on ensuring people understand that the city manager’s role is to advise and make recommendations and council decides and sets the direction,� Swabey said Monday. “I’m council’s employee. They set the direction. I provide them with the information and the recommendations and I align the staff and the work plans to best meet the objectives that council wants to achieve.�

First, he has to build some bridges. As a newcomer to Maple Ridge, he wants to build trust with staff and council.

Swabey started with Nanaimo 26 years ago as a planning technician on the front counter. He steadily moved up the ladder from serving as director of planning, to general manager of community safety and development, to CAO. “He is a consummate professional with extensive experience in the delivery of diverse services within a complex municipal setting,� Mayor Nicole Read said.

Ridge splits on tourism Ends partnership with Pitt Meadows

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows should no longer be partnered in tourism, advises from Maple Ridge city staff.

Lino Siracusa, the new manager of economic development, prepared a report advising Maple Ridge council to allow the Tour-

ism Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows contract to expire at the end of December. He said a breakdown of the tourism society’s budget reveals that only $8,100 of the $35,000 contribution from Maple Ridge is spent on marketing activities, while the rest covers payroll, administration and operating costs. “Activity at the existing Visitors Information Centre located at Harris Road is of little if any value, as the vast majority of visitors obtain information online and through social media sources,� Siracusa said

in the report.

In an interview, he went further, and called a visitor’s centre “an antiquated approach,� particularly because travelers have to get off the Lougheed Highway to visit it. “We think we could use that $35,000 in a better way,� he said. “We will be able to get significantly more marketing out of that.�

Last week, Maple Ridge announced it would be terminating its partnership with Pitt Meadows in another area – parks and recreation services.

Tweaks coming to Ridge recreation fees Ice and field rentals not affected, however

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

Recreation fees will be raised in Maple Ridge next year, affecting everything from swim clubs, boot camps and wedding receptions.

But ice and field rentals, Maple Ridge Leisure Centre admissions and rental of community rooms won’t change next September, according to a parks and leisure services report to council on Tuesday.

Maple Ridge decided last week to end the joint leisure services deal it has with Pitt Meadows next year, so how rate changes for facilities in that city will be affected in not yet determined.

“These are the kinds of decisions that have yet to be made,” Maple Ridge Coun. Tyler Shymkiw For the next year, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will work out an administrative framework to operate facilities in both cities without disrupting user groups.

“But there are no inherent increases because of the split,” Shymkiw said.

Most councillors oppose the fee increases, he pointed out.

Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said the costs for user groups will be determined over the following year’s transition period.

The goal is to minimize any impact on sports or cultural groups when

Rates for the local swim clubs will increase about $10 a year for each member. the agreement ends.

Shymkiw is opposed to increasing user fees for recreation.

“We need to be really aggressively pushing universal access to recreation and sport in our community.

It’s one of those things we see time and time again builds resilience in kids.”

Regardless, competitive swimmers can expect to pay about $10 more a year, though, once the renovations to the Maple Ridge indoor pool are complete.

Fees for picnic shelters and sports courts will also increase.

Danielle Pope, manager of business operations, said a review of rental rates is done annually. Rates are compared to other cities to see if they reflect the market.

After looking at single admission and membership fees at the Leisure Centre, staff found that they were in line with what is charged in the rest of Metro Vancouver.

However, rates charged to the Haney Seahorse and Haney Neptune

THE NEWS/files

swim clubs were found to be 23 per cent lower in Maple Ridge than the rest of Metro Vancouver.

As a result, staff recommend increasing rates by 30 cents per lane an hour for the competition pool and 27 cents per lane an hour at the teaching pool, working out to about another $10 a year for each swimmer.

Those new rates won’t kick in until the $6 million in renovations to the pools are complete.

They have yet to start because the project is still awaiting contractor

‘Can we get better bang for our buck?’

Tourism from front

She said social media and the online presence are more important than the visitor’s centre. The centre had 11,000 visitors last year, which is not insignificant, but the Facebook Page has 3,700 followers, and the website has had 90,000 visitors in the last 12 months.

So she disagreed with putting an $8,100 price on the services the tourism society provides.

Gervais said the tourism society joins with four other municipalities in the Circle Farm Tour, so its $4,000 contribution is leveraged into $50,000 worth of promotion.

Similarly, a $1,000 contribution to the Scenic 7 promotional program about Lougheed Highway communities results in $30,000 worth of promotion.

“They get pretty good bang for their buck,” she said. “We’ve worked hard to build partnerships, because we know their value.”

She said tourism is a $12 billion industry in B.C. “So there are a lot of government organizations that like to help tourism groups succeed.”

Maple Ridge will handle tourism “in-house,” but Pitt Meadows is left at a crossroads.

Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker said he plans to meet with Gervais later this week to get her perspective.

“We’ll have to take a look at what we can do to facilitate economic development here in Pitt Meadows,” he said.

Coun. Bill Dingwall was critical of Pitt Meadows for the parks and recreation deal being cancelled, and

blames public criticism of the 18 per cent salary increases for senior parks and rec staff for causing a rift.

He said these cancelled partnerships are symptoms of a damaged relationship between the two cities.

Becker rejected that.

“I disagree with his assessment,” responded Becker. “You have two new councils look at the old ways of doing things. Those ways make sense in some areas, and not in others.”

He characterized the relationship as changing, not deteriorating.

On Thursday, the two cities will discuss their partnership in managing the Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. Pitt Meadows previously asked Maple Ridge to step away from running the facility, but the later refused.

The Pitt Meadows Airport Society

is allowed to hold its meetings in private. Becker will not attend the meeting due to a conflict. He declined to say what is on Thursday’s agenda, other than that the two sides will continue to operate the airport that benefits Pitt Meadows and the region.

Pitt Meadows Coun. Tracy Miyashita says a healthier political relationship between the two cities would see its partnerships continue.

“I just think there’s so many benefits to doing these things together.

It’s sad,” she said. “This is all about the communication and relationship, and, in the end, I think it’s our communities that suffer.”

She said there is no doubt the two communities can provide services separately, but said “we’re stronger together.”

bids.

In Pitt Meadows, a small increase is also recommended for single admission and membership charges to the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre, working out to an average increase of less than 20 cents per visit.

Even with that increase, the rates will still be below what’s charged in the rest of Metro Vancouver.

Currently, a single adult admission is $5.02, while family admission is $9.38.

The increased charges also reflect the major renovation and expansion of the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre in 2014.

The report also notes that several non-profit groups currently use the Heritage Hall in Pitt Meadows without paying anything, something which contradicts a recreation commission policy and gives unfair access to some people.

Parks and leisure services also wants more from businesses that rent out tennis courts or sport courts for boot camp classes. Those should jump by another $4.89 an hour.

Fees for use of park shelters and community kitchens will also increase if council gives four readings to the bylaw.

Fees for park shelters will jump from $14.25 to $84.25 a day.

Rental of community kitchens, such as Hammond Hall or Whonnock community centre, will increase for weddings and receptions, although the report doesn’t specify the amount.

“We need to set egos aside, and work together for the good of our two communities.”

Coun. Corisa Bell, who is on Maple Ridge’s economic advisory commission, said she expected the tourism breakup to be endorsed by council Tuesday.

But she denied the decision was political.

“Absolutely not. This is more a conversation of how we can review the effectiveness of our tourism dollars.”

She said Maple Ridge’s situation has changed, because Siracusa brings new insights into how to market the city, and because Pitt Meadows’ population will essentially peak at 22,000.

“They are capped. We’re going to continue to grow for many years.”

Siracusa said his report is based on the merits of the partnership.

“It’s reviewing how our $35,000 is being spent, and can we get a better bang for our buck?”

Pitt Meadows councillor wants mastiff put down No support from other members

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Pitt Meadows Coun.

Tracy Miyashita wanted council to pursue a destruction order against the bull mastiff that killed a small family dog, but was disappointed at their refusal to even discuss it.

“I was surprised that nobody else, except Bill Dingwall, supported bringing the motion there for discussion,” said Miyashita.

“Especially after [Coun.] David Murray said, ‘Something will get done.’”

He made that remark at an Oct. 9 council meeting, when the chambers were packed by people supporting John and Yvonne McDonald, whose therapy dog Buttons, a shih tsu cross, was mauled to death by a mastiff on Sept. 28 on the patio at the Harris Road McDonald’s Restaurant.

The couple has since

Buttons was mauled by a bull mastiff outside a restaurant in Pitt Meadows. been pushing for tougher dog control bylaws, including putting down any dog that kills another or person.

At that packed meeting, Murray remarked that he had a similar dog to Buttons, and promised: “I’ll tell you one thing – we’re going to get something done.”

So Miyashita wanted to call him out for not supporting her motion to have the issue added to the council agenda at a meeting last week.

It came up because bylaw enforcement officer Lesley Elchuk reported

on the situation. She clarified the dog had not been previously deemed dangerous. It had been in a dog fight in a public area, but neither dog was injured.

Elchuk asked the woman with the dog to have it muzzled in public, but had no authority to require her to.

“I just asked.”

The dog was muzzled on the day it killed Buttons, but the muzzle was removed from the tied-up dog because an acquaintance wanted to give it water.

Elchuk reported that

No Judgements

per k* wee

the mastiff has been deemed dangerous now, and must undergo remedial training, be muzzled in public, and contained in a secure yard with appropriate signage.

However, Miyashita said she agreed with the position forwarded by the McDonald family, that if a dog kills, it should be destroyed.

“If there’s a death, it should be put down,” Miyashita said, adding council should seek a destruction order.

Because that was not on the agenda, the issue would need the unanimous support of council, which it did not receive.

Miyashita said she would put the issue on a future agenda, and served a notice of motion. However, she said after only receiving Coun. Bill Dingwall’s support on the last vote, she is not optimistic it will pass.

“We owe it to that family, and all the people who came that night, to discuss the issue,” said Miyashita.

New approach Last week, voters across Canada dealt Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party a stinging rebuke and handed Justin Trudeau’s Liberals the mandate to govern with a majority.

Even in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, long a stronghold for the Conservatives, more half of those who cast ballots did so for other parties.

While the Liberals now control the levers in Ottawa, they should draw several lessons from the election that put them there.

With the Conservatives in power, the country was not, despite the cries of some, going down the tubes.

The economy has generally been stable, crime continues to fall, and the rights of law-abiding individuals continue to be enshrined in law.

The government can claim only partial credit for some of those, but nonetheless, Canada ranks well on an international scale.

The fact that the government was defeated in such a manner in spite of those strong fundamentals suggests Canadians had grown tired with how the Conservatives went about their business.

And the Liberals must heed that cautionary note.

They will face plenty of challenges over the next four years, and have already laid out an ambitious agenda.

They must keep the economy running, while helping those who need a hand. They have promised to run a deficit in order to increase infrastructure spending, but must keep the debt in check so as not to cripple future generations. And they have to balance the need to protect Canadians with the rights of citizens.

But that isn’t enough, voters have said.

They must govern in a manner that prizes openness over secrecy, and inclusiveness over division.

Trudeau has spoken about such principles. But now it’s time for him to make good on his promises.

Myths of the Highway of Tears VICTORIA – The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under B.C. Views freedom of information legislation. They Tom Fletcher relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged coverups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.

The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of

this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit in places where existing service may be under-used.

Nationally, the narrative is that deepseated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama.

There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

B.C. Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox

and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But B.C. Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

“Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.”

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release.

They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Bill Mckay · Re: Maple Ridge hires new chief administrative officer.

I have worked with Ted Swabey for four years now. While we didn’t always agree, in my year as mayor of Nanaimo, I have grown to highly respect Mr. Swabey. I wish him well in his new role in Maple Ridge and know he will work very hard in the interests of the community as a whole.

• Bruce E. McWilliam · Re: Maple Ridge hires new chief administrative officer.

Excellent - Maple Ridge is wise by selecting someone who has worked on both sides of the ‘counter,’ in both the private and public sectors.

What took so long?

Don MacLean · Re: Maple Ridge bails on recreation deal.

After Councillor Elkerton’s misguided comments and meddling into Maple Ridge’s salary levels, I am surprised it took this long for Maple Ridge to react.

This agreement was a 23-year success story. I hope that the citizens of Pitt Meadows hold some of their councillors responsible for the demise of this cost-saving agreement.

• Byron Hosking · Re: Maple Ridge bails on recreation deal.

I am concerned over where my tax dollars go. If the residents elect servants to represent them as councillors – and Mr. MacLean, you should remember that elected individuals are there to serve those who elect them – then the residents have every right to know how their money is being spent. This is a major tenant of our democratic system. The public has every right to know how much of their money is being spent on salaries and any other component of this or similar shared services.

As for Ms. Walters’ comment, this is interesting given that when in office she questioned opting out of this parks and recreation relationship because Pitt Meadows, in her opinion, was likely not getting its fair share ...

Editor, The News: Finally, the election is over. Congratulations to Dan Ruimy on his victory.

For me, the election campaign had many lows and some high-points.

The lows included the hysterical comments made by the many anti-Harper supporters. One would think we were nearing total destruction with no hope left. Irrational, extreme, opinions based on one-sided interpretations of policies made by a democratically elected government. People pleading for everyone to vote for ‘the only party capable of beating our local Conservative candidate,’ to ignore personal choice or belief in who would best serve Pitt-Meadows Maple Ridge or what party had proposed the best policies for Canada.

One man had to be defeated at any cost.

It was a relief and a high-point that the pleas didn’t deter voters.

Another low point was the total destruction of many election signs, not just knocking them over so that they could be repaired, but totally mutilating them. Actions of people who don’t believe in the democratic process, but rather believe any action or response that supported their candidate and hurt those of the others were appropriate.

Election day saw voters of all types. me, on election night. I worked for Election’s Canada as a poll person at a local polling station. Regardless of all the negativity, Election’s Canada and its organizing team did an incredible job. Congratulations to them for a job well done.

The poll workers only received a few hours of training, but worked a very long day – 15 hours for us.

Thanks to the party representative who delivered coffee and donuts to us – very much appreciated.

At our desk, I was totally amazed at the number of first-time voters, both young and old. We had voters in their 50s who were voting for the first time who had to be instructed on how to mark their ballots. We had a large number of students,

which was great to see.

Our oldest voter a gentleman of 92, or the 88-year-old woman who struggled in with the aid of a walker. We had a blind person, and others with various disabilities.

We had numerous voters who just moved to Maple Ridge from all across Canada. I never realized we had so many different ethnic people living in Maple Ridge, some proudly voting for the first time as Canadians, people from Africa, the Balkans, Poland, and the Ukraine; and representatives of many of the minority groups we all read about but rarely meet. All of them coming to one place to participate in electing a government, and happy and proud to do so.

We had a protestor wearing a mask wanting to vote, and we had a few angry people, but all the workers at our polling station from the information officers to our supervisor did a great job.

What I saw during the long election day made me proud to be a Canadian, to live in a country where regardless of our many differences, opinions or beliefs we all have one thing in common: we all have the privilege of choosing the people who govern us.

PUBLIC NOTICE

‘Taxpayers want to see value’ “ W e are very pleased to have Ted join us and lead the City of Maple Ridge team.”

Before coming to B.C., Swabey was a planning consultant in Guelph, Ont., and also worked as a commercial property manager in Toronto.

He was born and raised in Ottawa and has a bachelor of arts degree in geography from the University of Guelph.

He said one challenge in today’s cities is to be customer focused.

“I think you always have to be mindful of ensuring that the taxpayers perceive value in the services that you deliver. That’s the one big test, of course.”

The recent decision by Maple Ridge council to end the jointuse recreation agreement with Pitt Meadows is one example of CAO from front

council deciding that the city is better serving taxpayers by running the recreation department independently.

Swabey describes himself as a relationship builder.

“I’m interested in people and building relationships and looking for partnerships, and things you couldn’t do on your

cil’s strategic plan and was well thought out, based on council’s priorities.

“But I have no view at all in terms of what I may or may not do,” in Maple Ridge.

That was after strong growth in Nanaimo in the 1990s, when facilities were being built. Maple Ridge is now in that phase.

“I’m interested in people and building relationships and looking for partnerships, and things you couldn’t do on your own but can do in partnerships.”

Ted Swabey, new Maple Ridge CAO

own but can do in partnerships.”

In Nanaimo in 2013, he reorganized city hall, cut staff and saved a million dollars a year. That was based on coun-

Swabey’s annual salary will be $245,580, similar to the previous CAO. A city leadership looked across the country during the hiring process.

Ridge Meadows RCMP arrested three men and seized weapons and drugs Thursday after a reported break-in.

RCMP were called to a home in the 23600 block of 114A Avenue on Oct. 22 at about 10:15 p.m.

Neighbours reported a possible break-in to a home. With the assistance of the Integrated Police Dog Services, three suspects were taken into custody, without incident.

Investigators seized a loaded firearm, two prohibited weapons and a quantity of what police believe to be cocaine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The firearm and weapons demonstrates the propensity for a violent confrontation did exist,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl.

They all made a first appearance on Oct. 23 and were remanded in custody. Â

Body recovered A month-long search for a 26-year-old Surrey woman ended Saturday when the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team recovered the womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body from Alouette Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the start, this case has been one of the top priorities of Ridge Meadows RCMP,â&#x20AC;? said Const. Chris Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, I want to express heartfelt condolences to the family. This has been a monthlong ordeal, and police are hopeful the recovery will bring some closure.â&#x20AC;?

Four people were in a boat that was taking on water in Alouette Lake on Sept. 20.

Three swam safely to shore, but the woman did not make it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Investigators want to acknowledge the efforts of Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue, who spent hours scouring the shoreline in the hope the young woman made it there safely,â&#x20AC;? said Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately we now know

Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Work Wearhouse in Maple Ridge was broken into Thursday, just after midnight.

The culprit stole sunglasses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Maui Jims and Zeal brands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; worth thousands of dollars.

He also tried to steal a rack of jackets, but was unsuccessful.

Anyone with information about this crime can call Crime Stoppers.

RCMP hit cyclist Serious injury was avoided when an Ridge Meadows RCMP officer hit a cyclist in a roundabout in South Bonson on Saturday.

Just before 2 p.m., a cyclist was hit by the police SUV, a Chevrolet Tahoe, at the intersection of Airport Way and Harris Road.

A police spokesman characterized it as a low-speed collision, resulting in minor injuries that did not require the man on the bike to need an ambulance. He was knocked off balance, but not right to the ground. There was damage to the bike and scratches on the SUV. The RCMP supervisor spoke with the victim, who said he was fine, but shaken up, and called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-issueâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;could have been worse.â&#x20AC;?

ADOPT A PET 463-9511 A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

PUBLIC NOTICE Maple Ridge Backyard Burning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backyard Fireâ&#x20AC;? is an outdoor fire where garden refuse, such as leaves and small branches indigenous to the property, are burned for the purpose of disposal, due to garden clean-up or damage from high winds.

MEET NAZKO! This handsome man was found dirty, hungry, and starved for attention. He is definitely an overgrown puppy and will need some work on basic manners and obedience. Nazko would love a big yard to play in, and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind having a doggy brother or sister to play with. A home without small children would be best for Nazko, as he is very excitable and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand how big he is; he can be mouthy and jumps.

With lots of positive reinforcement and love, Nazko will be a gentle giant.

If you think your family could use a great addition, please ask staff about dashing Nazko today!

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

A

common question both the Maple Ridge Museum and Haney House Museum receive, especially around this time of year, is, are the houses haunted?

The short answer is, no.

Those who have been here for years will know it’s just the wind hitting against the side of the house, or that certain steps creek when you ascend the stairs, mainly because each house is more than 100 years old.

Work here long enough, you get to know all the sounds and quirks.

The answer ‘no’ always seems to be met with slight disappointment, especially in Haney House.

Perhaps the public’s curiosity may have to do with the fact on display is a death mask portrait of Mary Haney, Thomas and Anne Haney’s first daughter, that hangs in the parlor.

She died in 1886, at the age 11 from diphtheria, and the Haneys had the painting commissioned from a tin plate photograph to remember her by.

Deaths happened often in

family homes during this era, and the advent of photography made it so the middle class was able to take a picture and memorialize their dead loved ones.

Photographs of deceased loved ones were a normal part of North American and European culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Commissioned by families, these photographs not only helped in the grieving process, but often represented the only visual remembrance of the deceased and were among a family’s most precious possessions.

In the portrait of Mary Haney, you can tell she is not alive as on the left side of the painting there are mountains and water and the right side, darkness, which is to show her journey from life to death.

In the Victorian era, morality rates among children were high, and a post-mortem photograph might have been the only image that family would have had of the child. They were more of a keepsake than anything to do with morality.

Often the children were photographed to appear lifelike, in their crib, or with a toy.

If family was posed with the child, typically they would be

seated in a chair next to the deceased.

Today, the practice of post-mortem (or death mask portraits) photography is essentially non-existent in the western world.

Portrayal like such is seen as sensationalist and quite taboo.

This cultural shift could perhaps reflect western social discomfort with death.

Why such words as ‘morbid’ or ‘creepy’ are often used when first entering the Haney House parlor and looking at the portrait.

This Saturday, Oct. 31st, Haney House Museum is hosting Hallowe’en festivities “Eat, Drink and Be Scary” from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and welcomes questions of, “is this house haunted?”

In turn, the museum hopes to educate those on the history of memorializing loved ones through the use of photography.

For children on Saturday, there will be a scavenger hunt, cookie decorating, crafts and a creatively themed tour of the house.

Children and encouraged to wear costumes and admission is $3.

Improving Your Memory Naturally

By Kirsten Janz, Owner and Nutritionist at Whole Body Health and Wellness ....................................................................................

As we age, we find that our short term memory is less reliable and that we can quickly forget the purpose of tasks we start. Although forgetful moments can be humorous for some, for others it can be nerve-racking experience, especially when diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia run in the family. So, is there a way to help safeguard against short and long term memory loss or reduce the chances of developing dementia? By properly fueling your brain with the nutrients and rest it needs, you will most definitely be taking a step in the right direction.

Brain Boosting Foods. The food you consume can play a large part in the memories you retain. Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps to fuel the brain with the nutrients it needs to function optimally. To ensure you are eating foods rich in Vitamin E, add items such as nuts, nut butters, seeds, whole grains, and green leafy vegetables such as kale, spinach and broccoli into your daily routine. Omega 3 foods, such as nuts, seeds, fish and seafood, are also a great way to ensure that your brain is fueled with DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). DHA assists with the functioning of neurons h b d d lb

performance and memory.

Memory Supporting Supplements.

Unfortunately the processed foods we consume can be deficient in the necessary vitamins that we need for our body and the brain to function at its peak. For instance, a deficiency in Vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue and memory problems.

If you suspect you may be deficient in a particular vitamin, consider taking a multi-vitamin or seeking the aid of a health care practitioner who may be able to better identify when a deficiency may exist. Alternatively, if you are just looking to support that lagging memory, you can always try, ginkgo biloba or Asian ginseng which is popularly consumed in tea form.

Adequate Sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation “Sleep actually triggers changes in the brain that solidify memories—strengthening connections between brain cells and transferring information from one brain region to another.” Rest is critical to our brain’s performance and maintaining our short and long term memories, so don’t feel guilty if you decide to “hit the hay” a bit early. You may find those forgetful moments will diminish and that the memories you want to hold onto will be easier to retrieve.

How much is enough in retirement?

Benefits of Moving First

by Carla McColeman Realtor® Royal LePage Brookside ....................................................................................

With clients who are downsizing, we often discuss their financial ability to find their next step first, before listing and selling their home. This is a conversation that would need to be confirmed with a financial consultant of course, but if it’s doable, there are benefits that can come from it.

First of all, finding your next step before listing your home, relieves an element of stress from the downsizing equation. Most people we talk to are concerned about where they will buy or move to after their home sells. This way, you would have time to find something before taking the step to list your current home.

Secondly, taking possession of a new home prior to listing your current home allows you to take your time moving in, assessing what furniture and items fit best at the new place and gives time to have it all set up before that first night in. Also, if you are needing or wanting to renovate or alter the home in any way, you can do so without having to live in a construction zone!

A third benefit is that once you are settled into your new home, you now have time to take a look at the home that you plan on listing and decide if there is anything that could be done to increase its market value before doing so. We don’t often suggest any huge undertakings in preparing a home for listing, but sometimes a quick paint job here and a small amount of staging there can really help. You want to have it look as clean, well kept, and neutral as possible, without spending too much of course. Another suggestion, especially for older homes, would be to have a preinspection done. This way you can deal with items that may affect the saleability of your home ahead of time.

A final bonus when listing a vacant home is that you don’t have to worry about preparing for showings or have them interrupt your schedule. The home is show ready and accessible to agents who want to bring their buyers through, a definite plus when marketing a home!

If you need to sell your home first, before making the move to your next step, do not despair. There are benefits to that too.

precisiondenture.ca What is a personalized precision denture?

A personalized precision denture is made to suit each persons individual looks and needs using additional measurements of your face and jaw. Additional measurements assure a more precise function in relation to the movements of your jaw.

Your prosthesis is handcrafted to match your age, complexion and facial features. Considerations such as the shape of your jaw line, lips, eyes, eyeglasses

and hair colour are taken into account. The teeth are set to produce a pleasing smile.

High quality teeth are used in the construction of your dentures to insure a definitive outcome of the highest quality. Additional procedures are incorporated in the construction of your denture to closely mimic the movement of your jaw. A precision denture provides excellent function, fit, comfort and appearance.

Immediate Dentures When complete extractions of your remaining teeth becomes unavoidable, an immediate denture is a solution. This process will help you avoid the embarrassment of being without teeth. Your denturist will initiate this procedure before your teeth are extracted. An impression is made of your existing teeth and gums prior to the extraction surgery and is used as a working

model for the construction of your new dentures. From your models the denturist is able to copy and construct a denture, duplicating your original teeth with improvements to your appearance, if you so wish. At your extraction appointment, your immediate dentures are inserted avoiding the embarrassment of having no teeth during your healing period.

What you should know about immediate dentures: Denturists in most cases have no way of trying the denture(s) in before your extractions are completed. In some cases, esthetic compromises may have to be made in favor of structural integrity or limited space. During the healing period, postoperative instruction from the surgeon and denturist must be followed carefully. Your gums and bone recede to a much smaller size, because of the tooth sockets closing. Regular check-ups and maintenance to ensure ideal healing are required. Temporary linings or tissue conditioners will be required to ensure a positive fit. This procedure may be repeated a number of times based on your physiological rate of healing. At the completion of the healing period, a permanent reline or a new denture may be constructed to ensure a comfortable and exact fit. Your denturist will advise you of the procedure that best meets your specific needs. Temporary liners, tissue conditioner and relines are additional services requiring payment beyond the service of manufacturing the immediate denture. Consult your denturist concerning the benefits of an immediate denture.

The Greeks started strength training over 3,000 years ago. Here is a drawing, from “Cassell’s Household Guide” printed over 100 years ago, of a woman performing Calisthenics (Greek for beautiful strength).

We all have muscles, though perhaps not so visible, hiding under some layers of fat! Muscles are the engines of our body but as we age our bodies naturally start to lose muscle and bone density. The good news is that with a small amount of effort you can actually change your body over a few months. To me, that’s really exciting news.

Even if you have already started to lose muscle tissue, you can turn things around. There have been many studies over the years proving conclusively that approximately 30 minutes of strength training 2 times per week can increase muscle size and strength. Stronger muscles around a joint (as in knee, hip, elbow etc.) can also protect weaker bones. Men and

women from their sixties to their nineties can improve physically with a basic strength program. Just a few of the many benefits of strength exercises include increased glucose metabolism, lower blood pressure, improved low back health, and faster digestive processes.

If you don’t know a lot about training your muscles, join a group fitness class. Fitness instructors who are certified

by BCRPA (British Columbia Parks and Recreation Association) have taken many hours of training, and are required to keep up-to-date by participating in regular professional education. We’re all very passionate about fitness and are ready and willing to help. You don’t need much equipment but if you decide to join a gym with weight machines, make sure you have a few appointments with a personal trainer, to teach you how to use the equipment and maximize the benefits to your health.

And of course, discuss any new exercise plans with your doctor.

Everything grows in Pitt Meadows Senior sends message of food secularity.

By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com ....................................................................................

For 55 years, Karl Wohlers has grown food on the same plot of land in Pitt Meadows, but its fertility can still surprise him.

His garden has strawberries, kale, tomatoes, swiss chard, potatoes and virtually everything he and his partner need. He has a hay field, and keeps a few chickens that clean up green waste, and produce eggs.

Wohlers has a few vines of grapes on his three-and-a-half acre plot on Baynes Road, and in a good year they will give him 100 pounds of grapes. He uses it to make juice.

A friend, a Langley senior who is an increasingly serious vintner, asked to use some of his grapes to make wine.

To Wohlers’ surprise, his fruit produced a winning entry in the Rock Creek and Boundary Fair. They took a ribbon in the white, dry grapes category, making both the wine maker and the farmer proud.

It reinforced something Wohlers has always known, an important message, that he wants more people to understand: “Everything grows here. We can have everything here, and we can be selfsustaining here.”

It’s an issue that gnaws at Wohlers. He sees modern agriculture – with acres and acres of blueberries and cranberries, sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. Like so many others, he is worried that the toxins are poisoning other insects, and getting into the food chain. Bees are dying off.

As someone who “works with nature,” he sees the entire toxic process as unnecessary. He would like to see more community gardens, that could be used to stock food banks, bring local groups together in creating a harvest, and educate the next generation about farming.

His impassioned voice is far from alone on this topic. Food security is one of the memes of our times.

It’s an international issue. The World Food Summit stated food security “exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life”.

Food security includes being able to cope with future disruption in the food supply, due to various risk factors, including largescale drought, shipping interruptions, fuel shortages, economic hardship and wars.

It is something that most of the developed

world takes for granted, but from 20112013, the UN estimated that 842 million people were suffering from chronic hunger.

Local organizations like the CEED Centre, which is dedicated to community education on the environment and development, try to teach people about the need to produce and support locally produced food. For the past four years, the centre has run the Cheers to the Planet event in May, offering the best in local food and drink, produced in the community.

And then there’s the common-sense voice of a senior like Wohlers, who came to Canada in 1951, when he was 21 years old.

He found his property in 1960, and there was just an old house with no foundation.

A carpenter by trade, he built his home in a traditional German style, and outbuildings, and put a new bridge spanning the ditch in front of his lot.

“I thought, ‘This is God’s country. The people don’t even see what they’ve got here.’” He still thinks that way.

We promise a completely satisfying eye care and eye wear experience.

Edward Liang and Taylor Ko are pursuing music at the highest levels of performance.

Classical Coffee Concerts

It’s probably rare to see teens at a classical piano concert, but not in Maple Ridge, when their friends are the performers.

Eight local pianists who are at the threshold of professional careers, or at least being able to play at that elite level, will be performing in the 19th annual fall piano concert on Nov. 8.

“All of these students are studying at a very high level of music,” said instructor Dan Wardrope.

“It’s a chance for them to share with the community their gifts and talents.”

The concert is unique for its youthful audience.

“It’s a very young demographic for a classical music concert, and it’s sold out every year,” he said.

dents choose the music, so they enjoy the concert.

“If they love what they do, they’ll do it better.”

Edward Liang is 17, and started playing with Wardrope 11 years ago.

He is taking exams for an Associate of the Royal Conservatory (ARCT) diploma. He completed the demanding practical exam, which required him to memorize and perform 50 pages of music, and is now taking the theory exam.

The polished pianist always looks forward to this annual concert.

“It’s great to play music for people in your community. It’s a way to bring the community together, and it’s for a good cause.”

Each year the concert raises money for causes ranging from food banks to cancer research, and has raised $25,000 since inception.

Food fortification benefit Concert from 19

This year the benefactor will be Project Healthy Children, which provides food fortification for people around the world – micronutrients they need to survive and thrive.

Last year Liang had 14 people come – all his close friends and family.

Friends asked “why didn’t you invite us sooner.”

“I loved it – I loved that they enjoyed classical music,” he said.

This will be the first concert for Taylor Ko. She invited friends, and was amazed at their eagerness to attend.

“I was really surprised, and I’m excited about this concert.”

Ko, 13, is learning both classical piano and violin at a Grade 10 level in the Royal Conservatory of Music – an amazing accomplishment, says Wardrope.

“I would love to finish my ARCT in both instruments,” she said.

Liang will play CS Variations – which will be recognized by the familiar Chopsticks.

“As it goes on, it becomes more agitated and fiery, and it’s really fun to play,” he said.

Ko will offer a Polonaise – a polish national dance.

“This piece starts out with a dramatic statement, and goes through a lyrical part that is amazing and tender,” she said.

Other students performing are Andrew Croswell, Nicole Lassetter, Lil-

lian Zhang, Ainsley Marsh, Edwin Ma and Logan Kehler.

These students have played for years, generally getting about 90 minutes of instruction each week, and then practicing for about another 10 hours.

Their program will feature Dohnanyi, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, two duets, a composition and other 20th century works.

Wardrope is a composer, producer, clinician and instructor, and his album receives regular air play on CBC radio.

As a teacher, many of his students have gone on to professional careers, and some of the musicians at the concert have those aspirations. They will compose, perform and teach.

His music sees him traveling a lot.

He teaches workshops and adjudicates festivals across Canada as a member of the Canadian Music Federation Adjudicators Association, and he is a member of the Royal Conservatory of Music College of Examiners. As he crisscrosses the country, he rarely finds a performance quite like that his students will offer.

• The concert will be held at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m. at Swane-Set Golf and Country Club in Pitt Meadows. Tickets cost $14, which includes coffee and snacks at the intermission. Tickets must be pre-ordered in advance by calling Wardrope at 604-818-8853 or email djwardrope@ gmail.com.

Goaltending and defence lead to Flames three points on weekend B y T i m Fi t z g e r a l d sports@mapleridgenews.com

The acquisition of goaltender Jordan Hollett has transformed the Ridge Meadow Flames from pretender to contender in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.

The Flames snagged three of a possible four points on the weekend with a 3-3 road tie against the Richmond Sockeyes on Thursday, Oct. 22, then a fastpaced 2-1 win over the much improved Port Moody Panthers on home ice Friday, Oct. 23.

Head coach Jamie Fiset said he was thrilled to be able to come out of Richmond with a point, saying it has been a tough place for the Flames to play as of late.

“It’s good. It’s been long time since we’ve been able to carve out any points from Richmond on the road,” said Fiset.

He was equally impressed with how well his team responded playing a mere 24 hours later. He described the Richmond game as a great heavyweight tilt, in which the Flames refused to back down, so to respond Friday in a game that was as high tempo as it was, made the win that much more important for the team’s state of mind.

“We’re starting to get out what we thought we would from this team now,” said Fiset. “We’re starting to play with a little more urgency. Considering we were the more tired team on Friday night, I was pretty happy with the pace.”

There’s no question when the Flames fortunes started to change. The acquisition of 16-year-old goaltender Jordan Hollett has vastly improved the Flames chances in every game they play.

A 2013 first-round pick of the Regina Pats, Hollett has elevated the play of the team, said Fiset.

Wang sets FV record time sports@mapleridgenews.com

Garabaldi’s Haoxuan Wang put the province on notice when the Grade 11 student set a new Fraser Valley championship record in the boys’ 100-metre individual medley final on Oct. 22 in Surrey.

Wang broke his own FV record by almost two seconds, finishing in a time of 1:04.23.

All Top 10 finishes at the Fraser Valleys automatically earn a spot at the provincial champion-

Wang won three events last year at the Valleys, but had to pull out of the provincials due to injury.

Wang also won the valley 50m backstroke in a time of 30.13 and the 100m freestyle in a time of 59.74, and came second in the 50m freestyle in 26.41.

Garabaldi head coach Antony Cowie said he was impressed with how his team competed at the event. He said the team

He said look at the team’s 1-3 record before Hollett arrived, and it’s obvious what solid goaltending means to his team’s confidence.

“There’s no doubt about it.

When he landed with us it was a great feeling,” said Fiset, who was a coach on Team B.C. during the 2015 Canada Winter Games, in which Hollett was a starter.

The Flames have four wins, three losses and an overtime loss since the Langley product’s arrival.

Fiset said the strong play of his goaltender means the rest of the team is playing with playing more confidence.

“If you get into a game where you don’t have a lot of confidence in your goaltending and you get down a few goals, it’s hard to get out of that spiral,” said Fiset. “That’s exactly what happened to us early in the year. We would get down a couple quick goals or we would need our goalie to get us through a rough patch and it didn’t happen.”

He said Thursday’s tilt with

Richmond was the perfect example. The Sockeyes jumped out to an early lead, but the Flames were able to stick with them thanks to some big saves

by Hollett.

The Flames gave up 16 shots in the first period in Richmond, but came out ahead leading 2-1 on goals by Brandon Inwood and Nicholas Maydaniuk.

Jake Holland had the other tally for the Flames, and he was named the game’s first star.

Against the Panthers, rookie Tristan Tressel opened the

scoring and sniper Andrew Strelezki fired the winner with 25 seconds left in the second period, but again it was the work of Hollett leading the way for the tired Flames.

He made 30 saves in the game and was named the game’s first star.

“We were dialed in and it felt pretty good to finally get to a stage where we could get to the stage where we could get solid back-to-back games.”

Teammate Dale Longmuir, a Grade 8 competitor, finished sixth in the 50m breaststroke with a time of 37:73.

The team of Sydney Foster, Tesia Kelleway, Sophia Scarcella, and Grace McIntyre finished ninth in the 200m freestyle relay with a time of 2:38:82 Paras swimmer Emma Doucette also qualified for the provincials in the 50m freestyle and 50m breaststroke.

MRSS coach Meg McCormick said the team had a number of members graduate last fall, so she was excited with seeing seven athletes qualify for the provincials.

“We have a really young team, an number of Grade 8s, so I think our showing was really impressive,” said McCormick.

MRSS finished 26th overall in team standings.
