Maple Ridge’s commercial-industrial strategy is aimed at finding more room for those land uses, but one councillor is calling for a possible reduction in such space in one of Maple Ridge’s prime industrial areas.

“It’s been suggested that we shouldn’t do a quay down in Al-

bion. I would disagree with that,” Coun. Michael Morden said at council’s Monday’s workshop.

Instead, with a mall and a busi-ness park planned for the Al-bion flats on the north side of Lougheed Highway, the south could be a mixed-use area with residential, office space and in-dustrial use, along with a West Coast Express station, part of a “complete community.

Unlike Silver Valley or the Albi-on residential area – which have been criticized for being incom-plete communities – the Albion flats and Albion Industrial Area,

south of Lougheed Highway, could be part of a complete com-munity with shops, schools and residences,” Morden said.

“If we went with mixed use, which there seems to be some ap-petite for … that to me is going to be the great piece of work that’s going to come out of this. I’d say that’s something to shoot for.”

Morden, who plans to run for mayor in the fall, added that any land that’s removed from indus-trial use would have to be pro-vided somewhere else.

Council has been involved in a long process to find more space

for industrial and commercial de-velopments and is looking at eight areas where it could designate an-other 200 acres for light industry or business parks. The goal is to boost the district’s industrial tax base and ease the property tax burden on homeowners.

But current Mayor Ernie Daykin doesn’t support Morden’s idea.

Instead, he said a marina, quay-type development in the Port Haney area, as allowed for in the downtown plan, makes more sense.

Scrap metal recycler may be forcedto move

A Maple Ridge scrap metal dealer who ran afoul of a municipal bylaw will soon be closing his doors, al-though court proceedings against him have come to a halt.

A judge entered a stay of proceed-ings last week against Michael Salo of the Fraser Valley Metal Exchange and M. Salo and Sons Recycling Ltd., effectively tossing out charges under the district’s scrap metal bylaw for a lack of evidence.

Salo said he would have won if the allegations were tested at trial, but decided to accept a stay as a cheaper compromise. He has spent $10,000 on legal fees since the charges were laid in September.

Having a family doctor is good for your health, but it’s getting more challenging.

There are more than 16,000 residents of Ma-ple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who don’t have a family doctor – about 17 per cent of the popu-lation.

And two trends will make it tougher for them to find one.

Firstly, the population is expected to grow by 18,000 people in the next 10 years.

Secondly, over the next decade, more than a third of the 65 general practitioners in the com-munity are planning to retire.

“So you can see, it’s a difficult situation we’re in,” said Brian Evoy, who presented the find-ings.

A GP for Me is the name of a new health ini-tiative that is aimed and connecting patients in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows with family physicians who are taking patients. The initia-tive is led by the Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association), and locally by the Division of Family Practice.

On Friday evening at The Act, the division presented the results of its research into the topic to an audience of health care profession-als and community leaders.

Evoy was the presenter. He said patients who have a family doctor get better health care – they take fewer prescriptions and get fewer diagnostic tests – than those who use walk-in clinics or emergency rooms to access the health care system. In addition to such statistics, the research revealed the burdens doctors bear. Some of the biggest concerns facing doctors are the amount of non-clinical work, the volume of patients, the increased complexity of patient load and the growing demand from chronic care patients, such as those with depression, dementia and diabetes.

There were other interesting findings, such

as 40 per cent of walk-in clinic visits are by pa-tients who don’t have a family doctor, and 14-16 per cent of maternity clinic patients do not have a GP.

“The research phase of A GP for Me has been an important first step in planning the future of access to primary health care in our com-munity,” said Dr. Ken Burns, chair of Ridge Meadows Division of Family Practice and a local family physician. “Not addressing these statistics could have serious implications.”

At 61, Burns is one of those doctors who will retire in the next decade. He said a traditional

family doctor relationship is not only good for patients, but also for physicians.

“I have a lot more satisfaction in looking after someone I know, and care about,” he said.

He has practiced in Maple Ridge for 35 years, and some of the mothers who are his patients now were once children he delivered.

“I’ve delivered lots of babies of the babies I de-livered,” is how he puts it.

In attracting and retaining doctors, he said being a good place to live is an asset to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

“We have a great community, and we’re

bringing in new physicians all the time,” he said. “People feel welcome in our community.”

A large “young families” demographic also helps. Burns said two new GPs have recently arrived, practicing obstetrics, and a third is coming. All are in their 30s. Compared with other communities in B.C., that is an enviable situation.

Burns said his fellow physicians and the proj-ect’s planning team are reviewing recommen-dations and evaluating possible solutions in or-der to address the current health care situation, with decisions to be made in early spring.

Family doctors becoming in short supply

Brian Hetherington is legally blind, hard of hearing, but in a good posi-tion to help other people with these disabilities.

“My vision has been failing gradu-ally, over much of my life,” explained the retired school teacher.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to have some sight,” he said, but added he is now legally blind.

Hetherington is 70 years old, and was diagnosed as legally blind at the age of 50. He had to give up teaching.

He loves to play Texas Hold’em and

other card games. With a special set of playing cards, that have replaced the traditional picture of the Queen, Jacks and Kings with a large letters, he won’t mistake pocket Jacks for pocket Kings. He can see well enough to get his chips in good.

“I don’t need to see the fancy picture.”Those large-digit playing cards

add to his quality of life, and that is the kind of thing he wants to intro-duce to other visually and hearing impaired people in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

A raised button on a push-button phone, a small device to help thread a needle, or hand-held magnifiers are the simple things make life a little easier.

When he joined the local Lions club, it had a 50-year tradition of hosting a special dinner for the com-

munity’s visually impaired people, in partnership with the CNIB. The guests would get information about vision loss, and a social night with entertainment.

When he became a Lion, Hether-ington and others thought the club could take it a step further.

The Lions are hosting their fourth annual Vision/Hearing Resources Open House on Saturday from 1-4 p.m., at the Ridge Meadows Seniors Activity Centre (12150 – 224th St.), from 1-4 p.m. The event is open to those who are challenged with vi-sion or hearing loss, or those who have an interest in these disabilities. People who have a family member in the early stages of losing their sight or hearing may also find the event ben-eficial.


Brian Evoy with isBrite Consulting discussed GP for Me research findings about primary health care needs Thursday at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.

There will be about 23 organizations attending, who will offer products, services or professional advice that may help guests of the event.

“It’s broad-based, with things of interest to those with vision or hearing loss,” said Hetherington. “I’m very proud of it. We think we do a number of worthwhile projects, and this is a good one.”

He does not minimize the effects of these dis-abilities. For him, hearing loss is the most difficult. He loves music, but can’t hear the lyrics. In conver-sation, it can be frustrat-ing to keep asking people to repeat themselves.

“There’s a tendency to just shut down, and you don’t participate. There’s a tendency to withdraw.”

On the other hand, technology continuously brings new innovations that make life easier for him – like a software pro-gram that reads emails aloud.

Hetherington under-stands the stigma that can come with a person admitting they have a disability. A man who needs a hearing aid may not wear one out of em-barrassment.

He remembers being asked if he would consid-er carrying a white cane.

“I broke into tears,” he said. “It’s a symbol – your vision is that poor, and you’re going to need more help. It can make you feel like less of a per-son.”

Education about vision and hearing loss, and the many supports available, help make it easier.

“Independence is im-portant – to be able to cook your own food, en-tertain yourself, or even keep track of the news.”

In addition to helping provide that indepen-dence, he said Saturday’s event is also designed to be a social occasion.

“I didn’t know anyone who had a significant vision problem until the last part of my life,” said Hetherington, add-ing that friendships and supports are important.

“That feeling of loneli-ness can cause difficulty.

“People want to be plugged in – want to be part of the community,” he said.

Hearing and vision loss problems are com-mon among the elderly, but that is not who the event is aimed at.

“We hope to attract people of all ages – peo-ple who are at the front end of it, and just start-ing to have trouble,” said Hetherington.

The event is free, and he encourages people to take advantage of this opportunity.

“The technology is good, and the advice is good, to help you orga-nize your life.

“I feel very fortunate that I’m alive at this time, when this stuff is available. Often it’s the little things, like the cards, that make a big difference.”

Maple Ridge raked in $896,000 last year from Chances Maple Ridge Community Gaming Centre.

For this year, the cash will still be split two ways, with about half go-ing mainly to downtown-related causes, and the other put into the infra-structure fund for roads and sidewalks.

“We’re leaving it that way, for the time being,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said Monday.

According to the 2011

gaming revenue policy, 20 per cent of the first half a millon dollars that comes from slot machines will go to im-provements in the town centre, while the same amount will go to im-provements in the dis-trict as a whole.

Another 15 per cent each will go to a capital improvement fund and to neighbourhood initia-tives.

Another 10 per cent each goes to downtown security and downtown maintenance, while “emerging priorities” get

eight per cent.But in 2014, another

$550,000 will go to the in-frastructure replacement fund. That spared Maple Ridge residents a higher property tax increase this spring and will be used to boost the account that Maple Ridge set up for rebuilding roads, sewers and sidewalks.

Maple Ridge gets 10 per cent of the revenue that flows from electronic slot machines.

However, the new gaming centre, which opened in October, has 150 electronic slot ma-

chines, 50 more than the old Haney Bingo Plex on 224th Street. That has the district counting gaming centre revenues to hit at least $1,050,000 next year.

The allocations are con-sistent with the original policy of gaming money going only to non-recur-ring items. That way, if gaming cash dries up, it won’t cause a hardship or have to be replace from elsewhere in the budget.

If gaming funds did dis-appear it simply means some projects just don’t get done, said Daykin.

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – The New Prosper-ity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the largest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold.

The federal govern-ment’s decision to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by elected officials in the Cariboo region as a disaster. One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the post-pine beetle era unfolds.

Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expen-sively revised plan. The province has per-mitted two successful mines that operate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko.

In Ottawa, this is a Supreme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath.

In traditional Canadian law, the prov-ince owns it. This was highlighted in the recent discussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Red-ford over royalties from oil.

Six aboriginal communities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance against the Crown. They almost won a declara-

tion of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Valley: forests, wild horses, minerals and all, in a 339-day trial that ended in 2007.

Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title.

Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly surprised to see Taseko turned down again. He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is re-leasing its own mining policies soon.

“We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportuni-ties,” Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune.

Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect ground-water, although they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines. And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource.

A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this.

If some limited form of title is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear.

Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relation-ship with the Tsilhqot’in.

For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from

a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either.

Here’s a sample of the volume of evi-dence that may determine the future of B.C.

Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depres-sions” at Teztan Biny.

It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settle-ment at the lake.

Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as be-ing of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that

Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp.

The mine was rejected due to ill-de-fined cultural as well as environmental concerns.

B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

When something subversive yet important is co-opted and adopted by almost everyone, does it still have meaning, value?

That can be asked now that Pink Shirt Day has taken hold across North America.

In the past seven years, Pink Shirt Day has grown from a spontaneous and risky act of protest by a couple of students in a Nova Scotia high school to an international campaign that has inspired many.

It has spurred political action, spread awareness that bullying can be challenged with education and understanding, and generated thousands of dollars for anti-bullying programs.

Millions now don pink T-shirts at their schools and workplaces to let people know they are against bullying.

But when has anyone ever been for bullying?Bullying is an insidious cancer that has long ex-

isted in the human race. It is a kind of currency of exchange between powerful people and vulnerable challengers. It goes on behind closed doors, in back alleys and on the internet, but also out in the open in workplaces and classrooms.

It also must be recognized that for kids, bullying is nuanced behaviour stemming from deep-seated psychological issues, requiring sensitivity, not label-ling.

Pink Shirt Day has undoubtedly been valuable in getting us to face up to the truth that society has long sanctioned bullying behaviour – rewarded it even, enabling bullies to become powerful people in the workplace, the executive suite and any place that individuals come together to collaborate and work.

But as a catalyst for change, has Pink Shirt Day run its course now that it is as ubiquitous as Santa Claus? Does the colour pink on everything from cars to cupcakes really help kids tormented by online trolls or workers cowed by bullying colleagues?

Spending money for programs to change behav-iour and attitudes is a good thing. But it may be time for another subversive act of protest, some-thing that kids themselves come up with that has nothing to do with adults and their agendas.

This week’s question: Do you support the B.C. government’s wage offer to teachers?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher


Editor, The News:Re: Happy not to be labelled anything

(Sidewinder, Feb. 21).As we get older, our perceptions and

opinions tend to change. I’m hoping that’s wisdom. Sometimes, our views don’t change much.

That can be good, but sometimes not. For instance, till now, my admiration of

Sandy MacDougall’s common sense and good intent has never waned.

But after reading his recent article, I do now question his ability to perceive the rel-evance of what once passed for knowledge in our society.

His recent article, which justified the standard for the abuse of our planet be-cause it made his life easy, left me feeling some guilt in my complicity for justifying the same. It’s easier to use this convenient excuse than it is to demand, then accepting change.

We’ve had it too good, for too long on this ball of salty water and rock. And the reality is, we have been peeing in our own well for quite a while now. At some point we are go-ing to find the water not to our taste.

Not to mention the filthy air. At that point, we will be confronted with

the tough choice. Drink what’s available, or not. Either way, it’s no way to live.

So when guys like Mr. Mcdougall say that people who oppose more oil pipelines, fracking for gas and paving over farmland are ‘environmentalists,’ ‘tree huggers’ or any other label to discredit their concerns,

I have to say to Mr. Macdougall and his ilk: this, my friends, is where you have failed to gain wisdom.

If someone is shouting and waving a sign saying, “Stop the destruction of the only planet we live on”.

He may look desperate and he probably is. But that doesn’t make him wrong.

Most of us are too distracted by the de-mands of the monetary system to take the time to realize the rapidly nearing limits of our earth’s ecosystem. We can live without one of those systems, but we cannot with-out the other. Should we wait to find out which one? Or should we stop peeing in our well.

Grant BakerMaple Ridge

You are confusedEditor, The News:Re: Happy not to be labelled anything

(Sidewinder, Feb. 21).Please, Sandy Macdougall, do some re-

search on the difference between geneti-cally modified and natural hybridization.

It appears that you have confused the two processes – without trying to explain the difference here, I hope you will at least do your own reading, on the many science based sites, not just the information pro-vided by the multi-national firms that have only their own financial benefit as motive.

A. McDonaldMaple Ridge

Editor, The News:Re: Teachers taking strike vote (The News,

Feb. 26). Here we go again. Teachers are already taking

a strike vote when it’s my understanding that they haven’t even formulated a demand yet.

People who claim to be all about the kids are taking action that could negatively impact those same kids. Their insistence that two or three children should be removed from each class to meet some arbitrary class size formula is patently ridiculous and a transparent aim to ensure more teachers are hired. They are totally oblivious to the result for school boards and, ul-timately, taxpayers.

The explosion in the numbers of so-called special needs students has been a huge contrib-utor to this situation. Every child who doesn’t fit the very narrowly-defined mold of normalcy is deemed to require special attention. If this province really does have such a huge increase in kids with a psychological imbalance, then the problem stretches way beyond the education system. What is causing it? Is it the environ-ment, electronic overload, alien mind control?

A child in my grandson’s class was recently diagnosed with authority opposition disorder. What the heck is that? Seems he doesn’t like be-ing told what to do.

Teachers and parents are supposed to negoti-ate with this nine-year-old so that he feels part

of the decision-making and will therefore co-operate better. What rubbish.

What happens when this child and the myr-iad others with similar diagnoses go out into the real world? Can you envision him in a job situation negotiating whether or not he should follow the rules. He’d be out of job faster than you can say special needs.

Obviously, there are some children who re-quire extra care – the developmentally or phys-ically disabled, those with autism or dyslexia. However, I believe that most children labelled as special needs are simply the unfortunate re-sults of over-indulgent parents, inattentive day care, teachers with neither the time nor the in-clination to deal with their needs and a psycho-logical assessment process that must justify its existence.

Kids need individual attention, they need to feel valued and appreciated, and many don’t have the kind of lives that satisfy this need.

Diagnosis gives them a temporary fix, a spu-rious feeling of importance. But this does not serve them well in the real world.

Isn’t it time for parents and teachers alike to avoid the psychological labelling of children as a justification for difficult behaviour in-stead of looking for the underlying problems that cause such behaviour?

Maple Ridge staff and police have told council that laying down the law

against bicycle bandits and ticketing them for not wearing helmets or not using lights at night is expensive and could even backfire.

“We can’t ticket our way out of this problem folks. It’s just not the re-ality,” Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Fleu-gel told council Mon-day.

“We cannot profile people. We’re not al-lowed to do that.”

If Maple Ridge council told police to enforce the bicycle helmet law, po-lice would have to give tickets to everyone, he added.

And most cyclists don’t wear helmets.

Last November, Maple Ridge council asked its social planning advisory committee and the po-lice to investigate crack-ing down on cyclists, particularly those who pedal around at night.

But after a six-week period involving checks of 20 street people, RCMP found none of them had a driver’s li-cences – making it pointless to issue tickets under the Motor Ve-hicle Act for not having helmets or lights. Under the act, driver’s licences

or insurance renewals could be denied if hel-met tickets haven’t been paid.

Instead, the social planning advisory com-mittee and RCMP rec-ommended that light-ing be improved, that members of the Busi-ness Watch Program get more involved, that there be more public ed-ucation, and that coun-cil ask for more mental health services and that RCMP even comment on the safety of the de-sign of new buildings that are currently in the application stage.

Police also want to work with TransLink to improve the layout of the Haney bus exchange and are paying special attention to late-night and early-morning drug dealing and thefts.

More agencies and lev-els of government need to focus on the issue.

“I do believe that pub-lic safety is the No. 1 is-sue here,” said Coun. Al Hogarth.

But he wasn’t satisfied with the recommenda-tions.

“We have to find a dif-ferent solution. To me, that’s not solving the problem of these people

on the bikes,” Hogarth said.

“I’d like us to become much more assertive about our needs in the mental health areas,” added Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.

A Maple Ridge staff re-port echoed the RCMP’s advice about ticketing cyclists, saying it doesn’t recommend “wide-spread enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Act with respect to bicycle helmets and proper il-lumination.

“Zero tolerance for riding without helmets or proper illumina-tion could have nega-tive community conse-quences.”

Nevertheless, pedes-trian and cyclist safety have to be addressed, it added.

“This issue is broader than simply enforcing the MVA to ensure hel-mets and proper illumi-nation are adhered to.”

Instead, it says the root cause of the problem is connected to mental health, poverty, lack of affordable housing and social isolation.

In November, Hogarth asked for a clampdown in order help motorists better see cyclists, espe-cially at night.

He suggested hand-ing out free lights and reflective strips, “and if they’re not using them, somehow get them off their bikes.

“We have a lot of se-niors who are not the most agile and are not able to jump out of the way of a bike com-ing 20 km/h down the sidewalk. I see it all the time. I think there are people out there using their bikes to do their crimes.”

In 2011, Hogarth called for police to seize cycles from those not wearing helmets.

Maple Ridge’s High-way and Traffic Bylaw, which allows cycling on sidewalks, will also be reviewed, an idea sup-ported by Coun. Mike Morden.

“There are good cy-clists and bad cyclists. I believe we’re the only municipality that allows deviation from the Mo-tor Vehicle Act.”

The intent of the bylaw passed in 2010 was to encourage families and kids to use two-wheeled transportation safely and to avoid dangerous roads such as Dewdney Trunk Road, providing they always yield to pe-destrians.

Staff reported a year after the bylaw was passed that there were three incidents involv-ing cyclists on side-walks.

The City of Pitt Mead-ows will open up a sec-tion of a dike along the North Alouette River that was previously closed to equestrians, finally allowing riders to safely access a popular riding route.

Vicky Biamonte asked the parks commission to allow horses on the stretch between Sharpe and Neaves roads as it is the safest way to reach the equestrian section of the Trans Canada and Deerfield trails.

Traveling west along Old Dewdney Truck Road to Harris Road east to 128th Avenue are not options, Biamonte said in a letter to the parks commission.

“The traffic along both these routes is far too dangerous for both horse and rider.”

Although horses are not permitted on the dike, Biamonte’s daugh-ter and other riders had been using the trail occasionally. But they recently noticed threat-ening posters tacked to garbage cans and mu-

nicipal signs encourag-ing people to report rid-ers.

“There seems to be someone out there who strongly dislikes horses,” said Biamonte, who op-erates Strideaway Stable.

She was particular concerned about words written next to a “Dis-charge of firearms” sign, noting they could be characterized as “a per-sonal threat to anyone riding a horse in that area.”

Biamonte’s request was supported by the parks commission and en-dorsed by Pitt Meadows council at a committee

meeting last week.“This request does not

seem unreasonable giv-en the great trail riding opportunities that are very close by; however accessing them safely is paramount,” manager of parks and open spaces Geoff Mallory said in a report to council.

“Staff believes that, given the rural location of the trails network in question, that citizens would consider this to be a complimentary ad-dition.”

Mallory noted that since there are other stables in the area, there may be more requests

to allow horses on other sections of the dike.

He suggested the city consider other requests on a case-by-case basis to ensure that they don’t interfere with other dike users.

Dianne Stoesz, with the Haney Horsemen Association, welcomed the increased access.

“Quite a few riders from that area had asked about dike access,” said Stoesz, adding that rid-ers would also like the equestrian section of the Trans Canada Trail ex-tended to 128th Avenue.

“I am so glad Ms. Bi-amonte requested ac-cess.”

The Haney Horsemen are now meeting quar-terly with the District of Maple Ridge to discuss equestrian concerns. Any reports about fallen trees or hazards such as pot holes and trail deteriora-tion can be emailed to [email protected].

Pitt Meadows council was set to formally en-dorse the extension at next meeting March 4.

“I haven’t spoken to anybody in the Albion Industrial Area that is keen on residential. At this point, I would not sup-port it.”

Albion is one of Maple Ridge’s major industrial areas and comprises 84 acres and the commercial and industrial strategy recommends it as a “strong employment genera-tor.”

Staff are suggesting that an incentive program could en-courage owners to consolidate lots and improve service.

Planning director Christine Carter cited a consultant’s re-port that said if mixed use is allowed, there won’t be any large industrial sites, should one be needed later.

She said the district is more keen on a marina-type de-velopment in the Port Haney area near the downtown.

Canadian Overseas Group, in 2012, presented a propos-al for a marina, boardwalk, apartment towers, shops and a park beside the Fraser River on the site of its former log-sort operation next to Port Haney Wharf.

Carter said Maple Ridge isn’t big enough to support two quay-type developments, one in Albion flats and one near Port Haney Wharf.

“If we allow a quay that’s not in the town centre, we will ef-

fectively polarize our down-town.”

Carter cited a consultant and said nothing should be done to force property owners from the Albion Industrial Area, al-though some could eventually relocate to waterfront areas in Ruskin, or to the north end of 256th Street.

Coun. Corisa Bell said she wanted to ensure that another open house between Albion Industrial Area property own-ers gets enough attendance.

She asked, why plans are un-derway to develop Albion flats, on the north side of Lougheed Highway, if the focus is on de-veloping the downtown?

SmartCentres mall develop-ment company is currently working on a land swap with the District of Maple Ridge so it can acquire developable land on the east side of 105th Avenue.

Carter said the district will work to ensure that any such development there doesn’t compete with the town centre.

The discussion followed a concept created last summer for office and manufacturing space with some second-sto-rey residential in the Albion Industrial Area, proposed by the family owners of Kingfish-er’s Waterfront Bar and Grill and two adjacent lots.

“We definitely want to do something down here. We

definitely see the potential,” said Ted Hume, with King-fisher.

But he wants to proceed cau-tiously until the district firms up its plans. He says he wasn’t informed that the commercial industrial strategy was under-way and, as a result, about 12 other property owners have formed a loose association calling for improvements in the area.

Maple Ridge staff held a fo-cus group in response to the Hume proposal to get a wide range of views. There is still a variety of opinions on what should happen in the area, said public works manager Frank Quinn.

Hume didn’t see why both waterfront developments couldn’t happen, just as it’s happened in New Westmin-ster or Steveston and ques-tions the district favouring development in one area and not the other.

“We’ve paying a lot of money down here to develop other areas.

“I don’t see why it couldn’t happen.

“All it takes is vision and the willingness to move on the vi-sion.”

Hume pointed out that when the former shake mill was running on his two lots, it employed about eight people, while his new pub next door

employs about 45.Coun. Bob Masse said the

idea of mixed used projects in Albion has been mentioned before. However, “It hasn’t got that level of traction there.

Coun. Cheryl Ashlie doesn’t support residential use in the Albion Industrial Area.

“We don’t want to lose our industrial opportunities there by putting residential like the rest have done in the Lower Mainland.”

She pointed out many uses, apart from residential, are possible in the Albion Indus-trial Area.

“I haven’t heard the major-ity [on council] saying they’re interested in residential in our industrial lands, on the south-ern part of the flats of the Al-bion area.”

She favoured the marina de-velopment proposed for near Port Haney Wharf because it anchors the downtown and doesn’t want to lose the op-portunity for industrial.

“I think we’ll be doing a dis-service to how we actually have a really well-thought out community.

“We can’t lose our industrial land, we just can’t.”

Council told staff to bring back a report on the commer-cial and industrial strategy recommendations to a future committee meeting, as well as a plan on how to implement it.

Industrial from front

‘Don’t want to polarize downtown area’ ‘No different’Metal from frontSalo, who has operated his business in Maple Ridge for 35 years, was accused of having metal wire on site which did not match business records.None of the metal in question was stolen. Salo said his mis-take was one of bookkeeping.Under the district’s bylaw, Fraser Valley Metal Exchange is expected to tag every piece of metal it gets, store it for seven days and report it to the local RCMP detachment in an email. It becomes a problem when 40 truckloads come in. On a good day, his business will received 1,200 separate items.“I can’t operate under the current bylaw,” Salo said, add-ing the requirements to keep metal on site for seven days is onerous. “With the amount of material coming in, I’m unable to store it.”Salo said he knows other scrap metal dealers in the region and maintains that none of them have taken on the tedious task of tagging and cataloguing all their scrap metal.Most other municipalities have allowed the provincial Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act to supersede their bylaws.The provincial act does not require scrap dealers to store

metal for a week.“They want me to tag and hold everything,” said Salo. “It’s pointless and senseless. Unless we can come to an agreement with the district, I’m going to have to shut down.”With the business up for sale, Salo plans on laying off four full-time staff and another four sub-contractors. He plans on running the metal exchange by himself until he finds a buyer and can hope-fully move to another, more accommodating municipality.“It might be easier to move to Mission or Pitt Meadows,” Salo said.The District of Maple Ridge won’t say how much taxpay-ers’ money has been spent on taking Salo to court and confirmed that staff won’t stop enforcing the bylaw.The scrap metal bylaw has fines ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, but only one other business beside Salo’s has been penalized under it.When contacted Tuesday, Director of licences, permits and bylaws Liz Holitzki had not yet learned about the stay of proceedings against Salo’s business, but said there are no plans on changing the district’s bylaw to accommo-date him. “Our bylaw isn’t any different from the other ones in the Lower Mainland.”

A mural carved by more than 300 children from Pitt Meadows has finally found a home.

The city will allow the 3D structure to go up on a mound of grass in Har-ris Road Park after ini-tially denying the request in October.

“It’s great news,” said Brad Dinwoodie, the art-ist who created the image of eagles in flight.

“It was a long, hard battle.”

City council previously rejected Dinwoodie’s re-quest to install the mural in Harris Road Park over concerns about its place-ment obstructing the fu-ture expansion of a spray park and sports activities.

Dinwoodie however was adamant that the mural be installed in a public space such as the park.

“It was a huge com-

munity effort,” he said, noting that 21 companies donated materials for the project.

Dinwoodie and parks staff looked at 10 other locations but none fit.

“The whole idea was so that everyone could enjoy it and so everyone could see it,” he added.

“It’s meant to be an in-teractive piece of art.”

After receiving more information from the artist and a little lobbying from Susann Sigmund and Darlene Mercer who were on the city’s now-defunct public arts com-

mittee, council’s fears were allayed.

The mural is carved on gator foam and painted during Pitt Meadows Day last year. It will be unveiled during this year’s festivities.

“It seemed fitting to unveil it on the same day it was created,” said Din-woodie, adding the chil-dren who helped paint the mural took a few lib-erties by adding extra de-tails such as daisies and happy faces.

“I’m hoping it will fos-ter a whole new apprecia-tion for art.”

Pam Milaney

As owner of Great Spaces Furniture, Pam Milaney counts herself very fortunate. “How many people get to make their living doing something they

enjoy this much?” “I’m a lucky woman in so many ways... I often say I won the people lottery and that includes my friends, family, clients and staff. I have an incredible support system... one that I do not take for granted.”

Interior decorating, space planning and client-connection are all second nature to Pam. ”People are often surprised that I ask such speci� c questions about their space and needs. I can make any space look great, but function is � rst and foremost” “Whether it’s one small piece of a whole home, we don’t just sell you furniture... we help you create a home to live in & love. That’s my goal... that’s my joy!”

Check out our variety of ‘in home’ consult services including “Pick Pam’s brain” on special thru March 31st $125 plus GST. Or book a ladies night 2 hour in store workshop for $40. minimum of 4, maximum of 6.

Anita Viljoen

Anita has been a Licensed Aesthetician for 8 years. I went on my own two years ago and fi nally decided to open Cameo Spa and Laser Clinic in August, 2013. I entered into the laser and spa business because I love what I do. That is, making

clients feel good about themselves after each service. I was voted #1 Aesthetician/Spa in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows by my clients two years in a row. I believe my professional and personal way I do my services is the key. I have two very talented ladies working with me at Cameo Spa. Taylor Boyce, an aesthetician and Nail Technician and Lisa Mansfeild, a EnVogue gel nail specialist. “I am very particular in what I do, and believe in being professional, caring and unique in everything I do.”

Who would have thought back in 1986 that these two ladies would crosspaths, become friends, and form a business partnership that’s still going strong 28 years later? Richmond School of Hairdressing

was established in 1990 with � ve students in Richmond BC. The Maple Ridge location (originally “Hollywood North,” as some will recall), was started in the early

90’s and in 1997 was purchased as a second location for RSH. Cynthia and Linda have been operating the school on 227th street for 16 years now, and have trained hundreds of young stylists. It’s their passion and love of hair that keeps them motivated while they provide a comfortable and safe learning environment for up-and-coming artists. They operate much like a salon and are open to the public Monday to Friday. If you want to spend less money on your hair, give them a try... they would love to meet you!

Eva Blaszkowska

The moment you step inside Esthetique Day Spa, all your stress and anxiety melt away. Aromatherapy and calming music serve to cast a relaxing spell as you enjoy the earth tones and fresh flowers that inspire serenity. Eva’s soft Polish voice sets the

mood for tranquility where she, along with her staff, happily cater to both men and women using a variety of European Spa Treatments. Eva opened Esthetique in 1995, and then moved 10 years ago to their current, larger location in Meadow Vale Mall. With over 35 years of experience, Eva sees a difference in perception. Services that were once thought of as a luxury are now seen as simply essential in maintaining healthy self-care. I t’s no wonder Esthetique was voted “Favourite Spa in Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows” by the residents of the very community that Eva and her staff serve so well.

Dr. Aman

Dr. Aman opened Meadowvale Animal Hospital around four years ago, and she already feels that Pitt Meadows has made for a lovely change from her earlier work in larger cities. “There is a closeness within this small community that makes me feel so comfortable and welcome. Whether I am walking around the mall here, or even elsewhere in town, I see familiar faces, and lots of smiles. Living and working in the same

small town is a dream come true, as I am just a phone call away to serve any needy pet. I love being able to give back to my “neighbours,” by treating their loved ones. Dr. Aman has bonded with the folks in Pitt Meadows, and, of course, their animals. “I became a vet because I � nd being able to effectively communicate with animals non-verbally to be so rewarding. They can’t speak for themselves and they, and their owners, are relying on me to provide the solutions. I accept this responsibility gladly. It is my privilege to be chosen to oversee the care of these important family members.” For your pet’s health, call or visit Dr. Aman today, and be sure to say hello to the adorable clinic mascot, Fantastic the Cat! Meadowvale Animal Hospital offers extended hours for personal care 7 days a week.

The families of a young couple killed by a speed-ing driver four years ago continue to lobby for jus-tice as a date for an appeal

draws near.Crown will ask the B.C.

Court of Appeal to set aside the acquittals and order a new trial for An-

delina Hecimovic, who lost control of her car, killing Rebecca ‘Beckie’ Dyer, 19, and her boy-friend, Johnny De Olivei-ra, 21, on Oct. 19, 2010.

A hearing date is set for Oct. 16.

Last month, the Dyer and De Oliveira’s families launched a second video titled “Justice Denied is Justice Delayed” to draw attention to what they say is a lack of justice.

“We keep hoping that the videos will make an impact,” said Dyer’s mother Debbie, who is part of the group Fami-lies for Justice, which has been lobbying the federal government to introduce stiffer penalties for driv-ers who cause fatal crash-es.

“We need to have the government look at our

justice system or lack there of.”

Dyer and De Oliveira were killed around mid-night when a Toyota driven by Hecimovic skidded sideways over a concrete median, flipped over and landed on top of their Suzuki Swift.

Hecimovic, now 26, was charged with two counts of dangerous driving causing death, but was acquitted last October, following a week-long trial.

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

The Whonnocks, after whom our historical com-

munity is named, were a Band of the Kwantlen First Nation.

Their chiefs in recorded times were Kolasten, followed by his son Basil, and later Chief Fidelle, who died around 1918.

Between Whon-nock and Ruskin, the Lougheed Highway cuts through the old Whon-nock Indian Reserve, but there is nothing left of the houses and the little church that once stood there.

First the village had been on the shore of the Fraser River. But when the railroad came in the 1880s, the houses were moved higher up the slope. Now everything is gone. Even the cross-es on the little cemetery have weathered away and the names of those who were put to rest there are mostly forgot-ten.

In 1862, mainly to es-tablish what land white settlers could claim for themselves, a member of the Columbia De-tachment of the Royal Engineers surveyed the land to be reserved for the use of the Whon-nocks.

Most of the reserve was rock and gravelly soil and quite unfit for cultivation. For that reason, the band con-tinued to farm outside the reserve on better soil close to the mouth of the Stave River.

Soon they came into conflict with the new white owner of that land, and moved their fields to adjacent land as yet unclaimed by a white settler.

When Governor Douglas learned about the band’s predicament, he directed the Royal Engineers to plot a new reserve to include the land where the Whon-nocks had started their new fields. This second reserve would be 160 acres – about twice as large as the original Whonnock reserve – and equivalent to the land granted to any white settler: a quarter section.

This reserve in today’s Ruskin would have cov-ered the area from 98th Avenue south to the Fraser River between 280th and 284th streets.

However, the Royal Engineers never sur-veyed this land because in the following year the Columbia Detach-ment was disbanded

and most of their number returned to England.

To avoid similar conflicts between native land users and claims by a rapidly growing number of white set-tlers, Gov. Douglas, just before his retirement in 1864, decided to let the tribes say what land they considered theirs, always respecting exist-ing land claims of white settlers.

The latter already fully surrounded the Langley and Katzie reserves and other reserves down river. But Whonnock was one of the areas with only a few settlers where this could still be done.

Under Gov. Douglas’s plan, the Whonnock re-serve would have grown to 2,000 acres, bordered to the north by Dewd-ney Trunk Road and to the south by the Fraser River, to the west by 272nd Street and to the east by 284th Street.

Even larger reserves were set out for the Matsqui and some other tribes further up the Fraser Valley.

These preemptive claims on behalf of the Native population did

not sit well with the white settlers, and the plan was abandoned in 1868. That meant for the Whonnocks a return to the original reserve. Pleas from the band to recognize their need of arable land and the promised second reserve were will-fully ignored and called “utterly incorrect,” although the instruc-tions and a sketch map showed that their claim was legitimate.

A later request to expand the original reserve eastward along the Fraser was also rejected.

Finally, in 1874, the Whonnocks’ need for arable lands was recognized. By this time white settlers had taken up the land in Ruskin therefore a second Whonnock reserve was established on the western shore of the Stave River, together with other new reserve areas established in the Stave River delta for use by the Kwantlen.

This new Whonnock reserve on the Stave River took on a life of its own. Its best remem-bered inhabitants were the members of the

large Cheer family, who were of Hawaiian and Kwantlen extraction, but with unconfirmed links to the Whon-nocks.

In historical times, never more than about 35 people lived on the old reserve, and that number diminished over time. Diseases took their toll on the residents. The loss of arable land and, later, the loss of direct access to the waterfront may also have contributed to the departure of some residents, including members of the Fidelle family. When Chief Fi-delle died around 1918, the only residents still living on the original Whonnock reserve were members of his immediate family.

The old Whonnock reserve continued its slide into irrelevance and abandonment. The last lonely Whon-nock still living on the old reserve, James Fidelle, a bachelor all his life, died in 1951 in a fire that destroyed his house.

Fred Braches is a local historian who lives in

Whonnock.

Entries are now be-ing accepted for the 2nd Annual Celebrate Earth Day Poetry Contest, and the inaugural Earth Day youth photography con-test.

Following last year’s success, organizer Joe Robinsmith is looking forward to seeing what entries in this year’s con-test brings.

“I was excited by the quantity and quality of last year’s entries,” says Robinsmith. “We had entries from several published authors in the adult category.” All the poems submitted in the 2013 contest were com-piled and published in a book format through Createspace and are now available at Black Bond Books and through Am-azon.

This year, Earth Day celebrates the Haney Farmers Market’s 10th Anniversary and poems should highlight the 2014 event theme - “Food for Thought.”

Poems can be submit-ted to [email protected]. Categories in-clude elementary, sec-ondary and adult (ages 19 and older). Deadline

is midnight on April 5. Winners will be invited to read their poems at the Celebrate Earth Day opening ceremonies on Saturday April 26 at 11 a.m. at Memorial Peace Park.

New to the ros-ter this year is a photography con-test organized by Ross Davies of the Kanaka Education and Environmental Part-nership Society and his daughter Sarah, a member of the District 42 Student Advisory Committee (DSAC).

“We wanted an activity that was specifically for youth,” Davies explains. “And personally, I will do

almost anything to make folks notice and pay at-

tention to nature.” There are three

contest categories: Food, Scenic & Wildlife. En-tries can be

posted to the Celebrate Earth Day in Maple

Ridge Facebook page and will be judged by the

number of “Likes” they receive. The photography con-test is open from March 1 – April 19.

Winners will be an-nounced on April 26.• More informa-

The Pitt Meadows Marauders will take part in the first-ever B.C. High School Boys Bas-ketball quad-A tournament.

Pitt has now made it to the provincials in 10 out of 11 years, but the school’s inclusion in this year’s event was by no means a foregone conclusion.

Pitt is still a triple-A sized school under the new league rules, and coach Rich Goulet said he asked his players if they wanted to go in that division or move up a “weight class” and play on the quad-A circuit.

“They said that when they came to school to play here, they came here to play in a pro-gram at the highest level. They came to play the best basketball.”

Coach Rich Goulet explained that there are only 16 teams in the tournament instead of 20, and only six berths available for the tough Fraser Valley. His team entered the tourney as the sixth seed, so there was little margin for error.

And this year’s Fraser Valley tournament featured teams as big and talented as he has ever seen.

On Thursday, in a “do-or-die” game, his team beat North Surrey 72-66. Pitt was down 10 points in the second quarter, then started to chip away and take the lead by the end of the third. Big post Graham Smith had 31 points and 10 boards, point guard Elijah Lapurga scored 14, and Hakeem Wewala 15 points.

Friday, the Marauders’ backs were still against the wall against Heritage Woods, and they again won 72-67.

Goulet said Pitt played a sloppy second quarter and spotted the Kodiaks a 14-point lead. Again they battled back, tying the game 51-51, then winning a see-saw battle down the stretch. Smith had one of his best games of the year with 40 points, 20 rebounds and seven blocks.

On the outside, Lapurga hit some key treys,

and was good for 16 points.That win was their ticket to the provincials,

so Saturday’s seeding game against the Sardis Falcons was not an impassioned performance. Pitt lost 99-70. Smith had 29 points.

“I was happy with everything until we played Sardis, and we looked exhausted,” said Goulet.

The B.C. tournament draw was relatively kind to the Marauders, who enter the tour-nament in the sixth berth out of the valley. They will open against the Vancouver College Fighting Irish – a tough team, but not one of the province’s elite. They played them earlier in the year, and Goulet is expecting a close game.

“We played them in their barn, and we were missing our point guard Elijah, and lost in overtime.”

They tip off the tournament on March 12, 1 p.m., at the Langley Events Centre.

b y N e i l C o r b e t tBlack Press

Pitt qualifies for first-ever quad-A provincial tournament

The Maple Ridge Ramblers have two B.C. high school wrestling champions.

“We had a tremendous, tremendous B.C. cham-pionships,” said MRSS wrestling coach Bill Mc-Crae, who was with his team in Prince George for the provincial tournament.

He said the Ramblers sent seven wrestlers to the provincials, and they came home with three medals.

Payten Smith and Cam Hicks each won their respective weight classes and became champi-ons.

It caps an amazing high school career for Smith,

who went undefeated for four straight years, hav-ing not lost a match since early Grade 9.

A third Maple Ridge wrestler won gold, as Cody Osbourne from Westview secondary beat Amrit Benning from Abbotsford in the 70 kg boys final.

Rambler Libby McDonnell transformed her 2013 dream goal of reaching the B.C. podium into a reality, and earned a bronze medal.

First-year wrestler Wolfie Wallace also got on the podium, placing fourth.

Gareth Bourke and Scott McKenzie each won two matches before flying home from Prince George Saturday night.

IF YOU COULD HELP


The Maple Ridge Ram-blers and the Samuel Robertson Technical Titans met in the bronze game at the Fraser Valley tournament for senior boys basketball on Sat-urday in Abbotsford.

The Ramblers won the game 47-39, as two exhausted local ri-vals slugged it out. But they were both already winners, having both achieved their larger goal of qualifying for the provincial triple-A tour-nament.

For the Titans, this will be the first senior boys B.C. final appearance in school history.

“It’s a big, big deal,” said SRT athletics direc-tor Lesley McPherson. “The basketball kids are really excited.

“This is what Dock [Ken Dockendorf] had

in mind when he pro-posed this new system. Neighbourhood pro-grams have a chance to compete.”

This year the former triple-A division has been divided into a larg-er school quadruple-A and triple-A division. It has given SRT-sized schools a chance to com-pete.

She said SRT has a good combination bas-ketball talent, and athlet-ic kids who know what it takes to win.

“This is a group of re-ally good athletes, and basketball is just another thing they do,” she said.

There are two lacrosse stars in Mitch McDole and Brad Rowbotham. The former is one his way to play NCAA field lacrosse, and the lat-ter has been drafted by the Burnaby Lakers. There are a pair of soc-cer standouts in Trevor White and Cole Lamont, who both appear de-signed for university athletics. There are also two kids who are bas-

ketball first, in Grade 11s Austin Rebalkin and Matt Van Dregt.

“It’s an awesome mix,” said Coach Scott Tom-lin. “They run the whole game, and we press. It’s all about heart.”

They entered the Fra-ser Valley Tournament as the fifth-seeded team out of their league. Their first game was a 62-46 loss to Sullivan Heights from Surrey.

SRT defeated Surrey’s Guilford Park 60-49 be-fore taking on top seeds from their own league.

The Titan’s first upset victory came at the ex-pense of Robert Bate-

man, the second seed in the North League. Bate-man couldn’t answer SRT’s pressure defence and up-tempo game, and lost 82-66. Rebalkin was named game MVP for his lights out shoot-ing, and tenacious pe-rimeter defence.

That led to a matchup with the third-seeded Brookswood Bobcats, where SRT roared out to a quick 22-8 lead, and came away with a 51-46 victory. Senior post White finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds to collect player of the game honours.

Another tight game brought another victory, 65-62 over Charles Best on Friday night. That win put the Titans into the final four, and into the provincials.

“We played incredibly well,” said Tomlin. “They win, and they go crazy.”

They will open the B.C.s against Burnaby’s second-ranked Saint Thomas Moore, March 12 at 10 a.m. at the Lang-ley Events Centre.

The Maple Ridge Ram-blers will be going to the triple-A boys basketball B.C. Tournament as the third seed out of the Fraser Valley.

The Ramblers played six games in eight days start-ing last Saturday, Feb. 22, in a double knockout for-mat. Their first game of the Fraser Valley was a 79-53 win over Clayton Heights

Next up was North Del-ta, which defeated Ridge

58-53.So the Ramblers faced

win-or-go-home games for the rest of the tourney.

They beat Princess Mar-garet 59-39, then Sullivan Heights 70-52.

The game to go to the B.C.’s had Ridge facing its nemesis, North Delta, again. In a highly competi-tive game, the Ramblers defeated No. 6 team in the province 56-53.

The final saw two very

tired teams, and Maple Ridge defeated local rival SRT 47-39.

First team all-star Ethan Coumont led the Ram-blers by averaging 27 points, 11 rebounds, and seven recoveries per game. The defensive effort was led by Isaac Halas and Owen Stewart. The re-bounding and defensive size came from Rav Ra-khra, Jackson Murdoch and Brad Bolton.
