A Maple Ridge shelter will not be adding extra beds as winter approaches because of a loss of federal funding.
The Caring Place has been in-forming clients of this for the past month, urging those sleep-ing outside to find shelter before
the weather turns cooler.The loss of $140,000 in fund-
ing from Service Canada means the Salvation Army-run shelter won’t have the means to add 15 cold-wet weather mats to its ex-isting 25 year-round beds.
The cold-wet weather pro-gram has been in place for more than 14 years and started before the Caring Place moved to its current location, on Lougheed Highway near the Haney Bypass.
“We knew this was going to
happen,” said Caring Place direc-tor Darrell Pilgrim.
“We have been letting our cli-ents know for over a month now and they have been working hard with our advocates to find other options. That’s the best we can do, unfortunately.”
The cold weather mats are put in place from November through March and the extra funding al-lowed the Caring Place to add a staff person to care for the addi-tional clients.
“I would hope that the com-munity can understand that if we don’t have the right staffing num-bers in place, we can’t ensure the safety of everyone,” said Pilgrim.
He doesn’t want to turn people away, and fears that difficulty finding affordable housing in Maple Ridge may force some shelter clients to sleep outside in winter.
That’s a big concern for me,” Pilgrim said, “turning people away.”

A former communications officer with the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district now wants to serve as a school trustee, and be the mayor of Maple Ridge.
Gary Cleave says if he’s elected to both positions, both organizations would benefit because he can repre-sent the issues of each to each other.
“I think I can be more effective on school board by being mayor.”
And conversely, as a mayor who’s also on school board, he can repre-sent education concerns to the city.
“It’s mutually reinforcing,” he said. “I’m for collaboration and mutual re-spect.”
Cleave served a variety of postings with the school district.

The changes to federal funding are prompted by a shift in priorities un-der the government’s Housing First program.
Under the new Housing First ap-proach, 65 per cent of money for the Homelessness Partnering Strategy must go to physical living spaces for people.
Once housed, other services, such as counselling, are provided.
It means money needed to oper-ate an emergency shelter does not qualify.
The change in priorities has also affected the Iron Horse Youth Safe House. If the five-bed emergency shelter for youth does not qualify for new funding, it may have to close next year.
Pilgrim understands why the gov-ernment has changed its approach to a Housing First model and is sup-portive of it, but points out there are
gaps.The Caring Place has received
$14,000 this year from the Home-lessness Partnering Strategy to hire another advocate in November and December to help people find homes.
The shelter may also qualify for emergency weather funding from B.C. Housing, which would allow the Caring Place to open extra beds when temperatures dip below zero or if weather is particularly nasty.
Pilgrim, who is also chair of Maple Ridge’s housing action table, said the group has been working with the city to encourage more affordable hous-ing projects.
“It’s kind of cart before the horse. We are trying to get there, but there will be some growing pains,” he add-ed.
He has even floated the idea of a “Dignity Village,” a project similar to a city-sanctioned homeless camp-
ground in Portland, Oregon. “There is a group of chronically
homeless people out there and we do not have a solution for them,” said Pilgrim.
“I am a believer in Housing First, but the unfortunate thing is there just isn’t enough housing stock.”
Randy Kamp, the Conservative MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, acknowledges there will be hurdles as the program transitions, but points out that studies have shown the Housing First strategy is successful.
“The focus is to find a longer term solution to homelessness,” said Kamp.
He noted the federal government has built in some transition funding and the Caring Place is welcome to apply for that.
“Thirty-five per cent of the funding is going to go to things like shelters, so they are welcome to apply,” Kamp
added.“There may be challenges and they
may need to look for other revenue streams in order to provide that ser-vice.”
Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin worries about the disappearance of the cold weather beds.
“It is really frustrating because the City of Maple Ridge can’t do it on our own. We need the province and feds to step up.”
Coun. Michael Morden, who will be challenging Daykin for the may-or’s seat in November’s election, feels there needs to be stronger advocacy from the city.
Morden believes the solution does not lie in more studies, but following through with proven methods.
“What is needed is to use a uni-versal measurement assessment tool developed by world renowned crim-inologists Paul and Patricia Brant-ingham,” said Morden.
The tool developed by Branting-ham uses the concept of designing out crime, or changing environ-ments to reduce or eliminate crime. He said the Institute for Canadian
Urban Research Studies will be in-cluding Maple Ridge in work that’s already underway.
“This work will be performed at no cost to the taxpayer and provide a road map to take our community forward using proven methods that will garner results,” said Morden.
“I note that this problem isn’t go-ing to be solved overnight. Vancou-ver committed to solve this problem years ago with $280 million annual funding going into the Downtown Eastside. Progress has been made but the evidence is clear – this isn’t simple.”
For clients of the Caring Place, the loss of the cold weather beds is an-other blow to an already battered body.
“If it’s a cold winter, people will die,” said one man.
His friend said that this past sum-mer homeless camps across the city were dismantled by bylaw officers.
“There is no where to go,” he added.“What are these folks supposed to
do? They don’t have a fixed address, they don’t have bank accounts. How are they supposed to rent a place?”

Maple Ridge needs to im-prove its retail mix in the downtown and reduce
or hold the line on the number of sushi restaurants, dollar stores and payday loan companies, says a 224th Street businessman.
“The type of businesses you have in your local trading area really por-trays what kind of town it is,” says Deddy Geese, who runs Hagens Travel and Cruises.
Maple Ridge seems to lack a mix of service and retail stores to create a positive shopping experience, he added.
Geese had heard the former HSBC bank across from his store on 224th Street was to become another dollar store. However, a dental office is now to open in a third of the former bank next year, while a tenant is still being sought for the remainder, said leas-ing agent Adrian Keenan.
“Definitely not a dollar store, no,” said Keenan. “Between dollar stores and sushi restaurants, I don’t know if we have any more room for them.”
For Geese, the number of sushi res-taurants in the downtown, now 15, hurts the entire restaurant sector.
“Far too many. That really takes a
lot of the wind out of the other res-taurants.”
He points to Comox on Vancouver Island, where the chamber of com-merce, tourism office, downtown businesses association and munici-pality are proactive in creating the type of business mix they want.
Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association executive director Ineke Boekhorst said mem-
bers have been asking her why the number of dollar stores and pay-day loan companies is increasing.
The association in turn has asked Maple Ridge bylaws to find a way to limit the numbers.
“I totally agree and most of the businesses do as well. There’s a move-ment to stop that somehow.”
She says currently there are five payday loan shops downtown and
six or seven dollar stores. “The cash stores seem to have dras-
tically increased since the casino opened up.”
However, Chuck Keeling, with Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which runs Chances, said the issue hasn’t developed in other cities where there’s a gaming centre or casino.
“It’s not been our experience in any of our other communities. If there
has a been an increase, we scratch our heads a bit wondering what would have been the direct factors leading to their opening.”
The new Chances Maple Ridge, which opened last October, has 175 slot machines. However, before that, since taking over the Haney Bingo-plex in 2010, Chances has had 100 slot machines at its old location on 224th Street.
“We think we’ve been a pretty good community partner and will contin-ue to be,” Keeling said.
One of the candidates for Maple Ridge council in the Nov. 15 election raised the same issue a month ago.
Tyler Shymkiw proposed a mora-torium be put on the opening of any more operations that offer short-term advances on pay cheques, and charge steep interest rates for the privilege of doing so.
“These pay day loan companies tend to congregate in the lower in-come neighbourhoods. We’ve tried to create affordable housing in Maple Ridge. I think that creates a target for them,” Shymkiw said in August.
Still, Keenan said “224th Street is very popular” for businesses – its vi-brant with good pedestrian traffic, which is good for business.
The leasing agent added that build-ing prices in Maple Ridge haven’t yet reached the point to encourage re-development. “There’s still too much value in the old stores there to just tear them down.”

He was its commu-nications officer from 1995 to 2009.
He also ran for school board in 2011, placing eighth out of nine can-didates.
During that cam-paign, he drew 2,310 votes without advertis-ing or signs.
He agrees, the odds are long at being elected to both positions this November.
“I think there’s a very slim chance that I can win, but stranger things can happen.”
Maple Ridge elections officer Ceri Marlo said Cleave can run for both spots. But if he’s elected
to both, he has to serve both positions and not resign from either one. Vacating one of the positions could be an offence under the elec-tions act, Marlo said.
Cleave has made six promises if he’s elected, with the top of the list fostering “a culture of mutual respect and col-laboration on council.”
He started thinking of running after read-ing about the editing of a video recording of a 2013 council committee meeting after comments by Coun. Corisa Bell.
Staff removed the comments, then repost-ed the video on the mu-nicipal website, because
of fears of a lawsuit if the comments were al-lowed to remain.
For Cleave, the incident showed the dysfunction on council.
“They were corrupting our d e m o c r a c y. It became a much bigger issue.”
If he’s elected to both posi-tions, Cleave also prom-ises to donate $20,000 of his mayor’s salary and his $18,000 trustee’s salary to support stu-dent learning programs that have “suffered from years of budget cut-
backs.”He also promises to
accept no help from special inter-est groups and says he won’t spend more than $100 on his campaign. Spending thousands on signs shows “the dirty little secret of election signs borrowed
from mass marketers. The more signs, the more name recogni-tion, the more votes. Translation: Money equals votes.”
And if he does get elected, he won’t use the position to spring-board to higher office or seek another term.
With Cleave’s an-nouncement and Tyler Shymkiw’s withdrawal from the mayoralty race, the number of candidates aiming for that spot is now five, with incumbent Ernie Daykin, Coun. Mike Morden, Nicole Read and Graham Mowatt.
Meanwhile, another candidate for Maple Ridge council has dropped out.
Karl Lundgren, a Pitt Meadows resident who works in Port Coquitlam as a travel agent, is no longer run-ning because of an ill-ness in his family.
“There are many strong and passionate candidates who have come forward running for council in this fall’s elections and I’m far more optimistic today for our community’s fu-ture than I was a month ago when I announced my candidacy.”

VICTORIA – Whatever cease-fire emerges from the lat-est round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.
Lawyers for the pro-vincial government and the B.C. Teach-ers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal.
At issue is whether legislation remov-ing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.
When B.C. Supreme Court justice Su-san Griffin found that it was, the govern-ment changed legislation again.
The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language re-instated retroactively for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.
The government says that would create chaos, as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.
Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal.
If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.
Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legis-late in response to changing conditions.
“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements, but cannot remove them over the objections of the union with-out violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submis-sion says. “On the BCTF’s theory, col-lective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”
What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP govern-ment that handed the keys to the trea-sury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that, too.
And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.
BCTF’s lawyers submit that the gov-ernment is wrong in fact, as well as law.
Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the govern-ment didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.
For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.
The government argues that re-im-posing 2002 conditions would overturn
other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working con-ditions weren’t there to negotiate.
The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, argu-ing for the supremacy of elected govern-ments when providing public services.
Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and some-times eliminated as in the case of police and health care.
“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pres-sures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legisla-tion; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”
It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in start-ing to do so.
Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statis-tics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.
Its decades-old instruction to govern-ment is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Statistics Canada’s latest population projections do not bode well for B.C.’s future, on a number of counts.
The federal agency has B.C. falling to fourth-largest province in the country, with Alberta moving ahead of it to third. This is projected to happen over the next 20 years or so.
B.C. will still be growing — but at a lesser rate than Alberta.
At the same time, B.C.’s population of seniors is ex-pected to grow the most, to 27 per cent of the popula-tion by 2038.
This is a higher-than-usual percentage of seniors, who, for the most part, will not be working and con-tributing to long-term economic growth.
They will put added pressure on the health care sys-tem, which already has significant challenges in keep-ing up with demand.
This is not to say that seniors are bad for a province or an economy. It is simply that their needs bring new challenges to an economy that is already hobbled by minimal growth, and to a province where every resource-based proposal is met with a fury of oppo-sition, leading to very few economic growth options coming to fruition.
A province cannot thrive long-term without eco-nomic growth. Simple population growth is not enough.
B.C. is already an expensive place to live, with hous-ing prices in the Lower Mainland among the highest in the country.
Meanwhile, few younger people have the oppor-tunity to make good incomes, and are thus handi-capped from getting ahead.
Taxes in B.C. are already quite high, which is masked by the sleight-of-hand about low income tax rates.
However, when the seven per cent PST, ICBC rates, ferry fares, B.C. Hydro rates (all of which are tax in-creases), TransLink taxes and MSP premiums are taken into account, taxes are quite onerous on many people already.
Low economic growth will inevitably lead to even higher taxes.
The provincial government is trying to expand jobs in the province, by working hard to attract LNG plants and at least having an open mind on pipelines, mines and other projects.
It meets opposition at almost every turn, and many B.C. residents simply don’t understand economics.
B.C. weather and scenery are great, but they don’t pay the bills.

Editor, The News:Re: Pitt council freezes pay (The News,
Sept. 19).It’s amazing the difference an elec-
tion makes, how one can change poli-ticians’ minds.
After speaking with a few council-lors in the spring of this year, none seemed to be getting the message from the electorate who pay taxes.
This comes from someone who en-joys having a beautiful community and is willing to pay for it.
But, really, a 50 per cent increase for a stipend since 2008?
Metro Vancouver needs to have a think, as well.
These are not private business CEOs, who can pass along costs to the cus-tomer, who can buy a product or not.
Donating the tax increase was no answer either, a bit of grandstanding, me thinks, as why where they not do-ing this before this increase?
There were early reasons such as ‘an independent committee’ again, but
that still wouldn’t have made much of a difference.
Another being a study of ‘the whole package’.
There was no acknowledgement of the ‘mood’ of a large number of tax-payers.
Sort of a ‘let them eat cake’ mental-ity.
Hopefully, some more citizens are going to come forward for mayor and council.

Editor, The News:Re: Garbage in city parks
(Letters, Sept. 12).Fellow citizens, did you
know that as of Jan. 1, 2015, all organic materials are banned from landfills?
If you are like us, your home already has private garbage pickup once a week, for which our home pays a little over $200 per year.
I called my waste solutions
provider to find out what the plan for January 2015 will be, and was told that pick-up will continue to be once a week, and that I would need to add an organic waste pick-up, which costs the same as regular garbage pick up.
Yes, you guessed it, dou-bling my fees for garbage collection.
Some of you are thinking, well why not compost?
We tried that and had problems with raccoons and other critters.
You may also ask, why not bring your own garbage down to the transfer station?
Well, we don’t really have the time, or appropriate ve-hicle.
I have asked the city why there is no municipal pick-up in Maple Ridge, unlike other city’s all around us.
The answer is that it would cost taxpayers more than I am currently paying now.
Really?Looks like I will be paying
double to my waste solutions provider come 2015.
Any election candidates willing to take on garbage pick-up for Maple Ridge now that we’re a city?

Editor, The News:Re: Teachers don’t see a victory (The News, Sept. 19).The strike is over, but it is lose-lose for all sides.Teachers lost 10 per cent of their income. They can never
make that up with a 7.5 per cent salary increase over six years.
The government made a mess of it and lost face, the par-ents and students suffered.
‘Good’ government is setting the foundation for a ‘win-win’ situation.
‘Good’ leadership brings the best out of people, not the worst.
Everybody lost in this dispute. Don’t forget, the govern-ment is still fighting its third law-suit about class sizes and composition with tax money against the teachers.

It seems most governments and services that thrive on home-less and addicted individuals will oppose whatever you try to do..

A police officer who spent four years at the helm of the Ridge Mead-ows RCMP detachment will be seeking a seat on Pitt Meadows council.
Bill Dingwall has called the city home for more than two decades and bills himself as a “wise choice and fresh voice for councillor.”
“I am extremely proud to live in Pitt Meadows, am looking forward to the next several months to discuss important is-sues with citizens in our community,” Dingwall said. “And hopefully, if elected, to build on the tremendous legacy left by council and volun-
teers over the 25 years that my family and I have lived here.”
Dingwall grew up in Saskatoon and married his high school sweet-heart, Erna, 37 years ago.
He has enjoyed exten-sive careers in the public service, having served with the RCMP for 35 years in B.C. and Ot-tawa, the last nine at the executive level in B.C. as a chief superintendent.
Dingwall currently works with the B.C. Sheriff Service as the su-perintendent in-charge of the Vancouver coastal region, but is on a leave of absence during the civic election campaign.
He served Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows as a RCMP constable from
1984-88 and returned to lead the Ridge-Meadows de-tachment from 1998-2002 as its officer-in-charge. During that period, he actively en-gaged with both councils and many community associations.
Dingwall has also been involved in a variety of volunteer and charitable activities over the years, including Cops for Can-cer, co-chair of Law En-forcement Torch Run for Special Olympics supporting those with intellectual disabilities, mission relief renovation work for victims of Hur-
ricane Katrina in Alabama, and participat-ing in the walk for Crossroads Hospice Soci-ety.
He was also r e f e r e e - i n -chief for the Ridge Mead-ows Minor
Hockey Association, refereed minor, adult and old-timer hockey, was a member of Rotary, and when his children were young, he coached hockey and competitive fastball.
Dingwall’s priorities include creating a livable community, a sustain-able financial model, public safety and traffic congestion.

Penalty for scrapping Pitt parkB y M o n i s h a M a r t i n smmartins@mapleridgenews.com
The City of Pitt Meadows will have to pay $55,000 to back out of a contract for a contentious park.The 12 per cent penalty is still cheaper than the proposed project, which was tendered for $328,000 and had a total budget of $375,000. Construction on the 35-hectare park was set to start in early September, but came to a halt after a protest by residents.“The contractor is understandably upset as he was ready to mobilize his crews and equipment more than two weeks ago,” director of parks and facilities David Boag said during a council meeting last week.The natural park encountered stiff opposition from nearby resi-
dents soon after it was proposed last summer. They contend the city would have avoided the current mess had staff and council listened to their concerns.The city’s original plans entailed extending an existing com-munity garden, as well as enhancing wetland and wildlife habitat with a low-flow drainage channel, which would connect to Katzie Slough.The park’s opponents had no issues with extending the com-munity garden or adding a few trails to an area that’s already lush with trees and full of wildlife. But they opposed the construction of a “low flow” drainage channel and water feature.Council initially approved the project in January with a vote that was split 4-3. Councillors Bruce Bell, Janis Elkerton and David Murray were against the project from the start. The recent vocal opposition prompted their colleagues to change their minds.The city will move ahead with expanding the community garden.
Wild Mushroom FrittataPresented by BORN 3 EGGS
• 1/2 lb. (250g) mixed, fresh wild mushrooms (shitake, enoki, crimini)• 1/2 lb. (250g) button mushrooms• 2 tbsp (25ml) butter or margarine• 2 tbsp (25ml) fresh thyme leaves OR 2 tsp. (10ml) dried• 6 eggs• 1/4 cup (50ml) grated Parmesan cheese• 1/2 cup (125ml) shredded gruyere cheese
A Frittata (Italian in origin) is an omelet where the fi lling ingredients are mixed in with the eggs before cooking. It is always served fl at rather than folded. Try making one to use up leftovers. If you are a mushroom connoisseur you will enjoy this rendition accented with fresh herbs. Wipe mushrooms clean; then slice. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet. Sauté mushrooms for about 5 minutes. Add thyme leaves and cook 1 minute longer. Beat eggs and stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour over mushrooms in skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until eggs are almost set. Sprinkle with gruyere cheese. Wrap handle or skillet with aluminum foil to heatproof. Broil until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to serving plate and cut into wedges (makes 4 to 6 servings)

All Mel Harris wanted to do was connect on a personal level and leave the politicking behind, at least for a night, at B.C. Liberal MLA’s Doug Bing’s fundraiser.
But the Westview sec-ondary teacher and seven others had their $1,000 returned and weren’t al-lowed to attend the event on Friday.
It’s a lost opportunity at improving relationships, says Harris.
Teachers were trying to be more creative in their relationships with gov-ernment. With the B.C. Teachers Federation just ratifying the settlement in a bitter five-month long dispute on Thursday, meeting the government MLAs personally, in a dif-ferent setting, could have soothed raw feelings.
“As long as there is this us-versus-them attitude, we’ll never be able to move forward.”
Scott Susin, a Mission teacher and part of the group, said three of the six teachers were from Maple Ridge, along with two others, comprising the group of eight.
He said teachers saw the event listed on the
B.C. Liberal website and registered for the public event. Anyone could have gone, he said.
Crowd-sourcing on-line raised the $1,000 for the table they purchased. That money was then used to reimburse a col-league for the credit card purchase of the table. Susin said they could have provided all the names of the contributors.
“Our intent was not to go in there yelling and screaming.”
“I don’t think they saw this coming.”
Teachers had also planned a rally outside the fundraiser at the Meadow Gardens Golf Course, he added.
“This is classic back-pedaling. I don’t regret what we did here.”
An e-mail from con-stituency assistant Cheryl Ashlie asked for the names of those who would be attending.
Later, after receiving the names, she told the group the money would be refunded and that it was a social event for supporters of Bing and that it would be better for the teachers to meet the MLA at his office.
Bing thinks the teachers just wanted to crash the party.
“They picked a bad time to do it. The agreement was just barely approved
Thursday. Friday they try to crash my party. I mean, really?”
Bing said the constitu-ency office had nothing to do with the fundraiser, saying those are orga-nized by party headquar-ters.
According to the B.C. Liberals, some contribu-tions for the online fun-draising event had been given anonymously.
As a result, under the
Election Act, the party couldn’t accept payment for the table and refund-ed the money.
“We’d like to clarify that this group of individuals wasn’t denied entry to Mr. Bing’s fundraiser on the premise that they’re teachers, but rather be-cause their contribution was not permissible by Elections B.C.,” said Jil-lian Stead of the B.C. Lib-erals.

B y J e f f N a g e lBlack Press
B.C. cities are firing back at the prov-ince for commissioning what they call a flawed and biased review of rising municipal compensation levels.
The Ernst and Young report criti-cized cities for allowing staff pay levels to climb by 38 per cent – twice the rate of the provincial public service – from 2001-12.
It also suggested municipal managers are paid too much and recommended the province take strong action to curb the trend, potentially by threatening to reduce municipal grants.
The report hasn’t been released by the province, but was leaked last week via the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-tion and has cast a chill on municipal-provincial relations as politicians meet in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.
UBCM president Rhona Martin said the authors didn’t consult cities or unions, showed a “lack of objectiv-ity” and relied heavily on provincial data and anti-tax lobby groups like the CTF.
They admitted the data was limited,
but drew strongly worded conclusions anyway, she added.
Martin said the report’s suggestion of placing municipal compensation under provincial control – potentially with centralized collective bargaining – would have “profound consequenc-es.”
The review was part of the province’s core review with a goal of ensuring public sector pay levels are appropri-ate.
The province has had increasing trouble filling non-union ministerial positions as the pay premium dimin-ishes compared to both government union jobs and municipal government positions, the review indicated.
Community Minister Coralee Oakes urged Martin on Sept. 9 to formally commit to jointly explore both the province’s aim of payroll cost control as well as UBCM’s ideas to strengthen the finances of its member cities.
Oakes had proposed a signing cer-emony at UBCM when the govern-ment-sponsored review would be un-veiled.
But Martin noted the province re-buffed UBCM proposals tabled a year ago for municipal finance reforms, including a suggestion that provincial government revenues be shared with cities during economic boom times.
Cities call municipal pay review ‘flawed’Province’s report rankles UBCM, Metro leaders

Instead of exploring those ideas, Martin said in a message to UBCM members, the province countered with its own report that was “narrowly focused on compensation comparisons based on an incomplete data set.”
In a Sept. 12 reply letter, Martin told Oakes the re-port’s limitations and lack of consultation make a formal commitment “in-appropriate” and said the suggestion of centralized collective bargaining is “problematic” in the cur-
rent labour relations envi-ronment.
The review was leaked to the CTF over the Sept. 13-14 weekend.
Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore called the report “extremely disappointing” and “pro-foundly disrespectful” to cities. “Municipal coun-cils are not agents of the province,” Moore said, adding they are demo-cratically accountable to local voters and any move to impose a provincial compensation philoso-phy on cities would pose
a direct challenge to their autonomy.
The Metro board de-cided at an in-camera
meeting Friday to hire its own expert to analyze the province’s compensation review.

Recycling rival to MMBC A new industry group is seeking provincial approval to oversee recycling pickup from urban apartments, but questions persist over how its plan will work.StewardChoice Enterprises has pitched itself as a parallel offering to Multi-Material B.C. and wants the province to approve its plan to serve as a second stewardship group to handle packaging and printed paper. StewardChoice argues MMBC’s recycling collection system isn’t yet serving most multifamily buildings in Metro Vancouver and Greater Victoria, where it initially aims to operate. Businesses that object to being members of MMBC would have the choice to instead pay into StewardChoice to meet their responsibil-ity to finance the recovery of their waste packaging and paper.

This weekend marks the fifth anniversary of Culture Days, a national celebration offering all Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast an
opportunity to immerse themselves in the exciting behind-the-scenes world of artists, creators and his-torians.
Last year alone, over 1.7 million Canadians partici-pated in over 7,500 free activities in 825 communities across the country in what is now considered a main-stay event in the cultural calendar of almost every Ca-nadian city and town.
“Approaching this fifth anniversary milestone gives us cause to reflect on the remarkable growth that Cul-ture Days has experienced in just a few short years, and the tremendous impact that it is having on indi-viduals and communities throughout Canada,” said Antoni Cimolino, artistic director of the Stratford Festival and chair of Culture Days national board of directors.
“From the astonishing passion and dedication of the volunteers and organizers to the eagerness of the participants, this infectious love of the arts and culture clearly continues to spread to legions of Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast.”
World musician Boris Sichon is the headliner for this year’s Culture Day event at the ACT in Maple Ridge.
Join Sichon as he take an interactive tour of the world, by linking his collection of exotic instruments to their countries of origin and exploring the music of the world along the way.
Sichon was born in the Ukraine, where he finished Musical High School, in the study of percussion in-struments. He left his home town for St. Petersburg
to continue his musical education at the Academy of Music. During his studies, he started working with the St. Petersburg Symphony Orchestra, under well-known Russian conductors such as Yevgeny Mravin-sky, Shostakovich, Badchan, Karapetian and many others.
After graduation form the Academy, Sichon was in-vited to join the Jewish chamber musical theatre in Moscow as a stage musician and actor.
After six years Sichon left the theatre to work as stage musician, dancer, and singer in the Russian National Folkloric Band. During this period, he had an oppor-tunity to visit and perform in 25 different countries and started to collect traditional local instruments.
His collection now comprises over 200 rare and unique musical instruments. He has been performing in Canada since he moved here in 2004. Culture Day takes place at the ACT in Maple Ridge, Saturday, Sept. 27 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Culture Day explodes at the ACT
Just like Superman and Wonder Woman, the Halcyon Imagineers are conjuring up their su-per powers for a concert to promote peace.
Kyle Herman, aka ‘Arak StarrEagle,’ got the idea for the event while reading a stack of comics and simultaneously watching some grim news on CNN detailing the latest wars, disasters, tragedies and atrocities.
Herman thought to himself, wouldn’t it be great if life were more like the comics he was reading, superheroes and all.
“Unfortunately, there are no superheroes and we have to deal with such things as terrorism in Iraq, war between Israel and Palestine and the Russian-Ukraine crisis,” he says.
“But the fact remains that we all can be he-roes if we put aside hate and fear and replace
it with peace, hope and love with equality for all.”
It was that thought that sparked Masquerade – the Halcyon Imagineers latest musical event.
Herman, who founded the art collective, said Masquerade is aimed at spreading a message of peace through art and entertainment and giv-ing people something positive to think about.
Slated to take place at Blenz Coffee on Sat-urday, Masquerade will feature 13 performers and four and a half hours of festive folk, wild rock and rampaging rap.
Dr. Brainstorm Joe Warden, the Epic Dharma Jorgensen, Arak StarrEagle and Caden Knud-son of the Irish folk rock band Shades of Green will headline the event.
“It is a super-powered rap and rock concert to promote peace, love, and equality as well as respect for all forms of life, which is the endur-ing Halcyon creed and mantra,” says Herman.

From a haiku about Kanaka Creek and a playful verse about Nerf gun battles, the tweetable poem contest held in celebration of Maple Ridge’s 140th anniversary did not disappoint.
The city through the Public Art Steering Committee, Holy Wow Po-ets and Golden Ears Writers devel-oped a call for current and past resi-dents of Maple Ridge to submit short, original “tweetable” poems, elegant rhymes, playful limericks, bar napkin free verse or classroom haikus. The theme: what makes this City special to you? Each poem had to be up to 140 characters including spaces, the maxi-mum length in a tweet.
Ten winners were chosen two weeks ago and their poems will be displayed temporarily in public spaces around the city centre as sidewalk poetry come spring.
It was a hard decision to select only 10 entries, said Yvonne Chui, the city’s arts and community connections manager.
The selection panel reviewed all the submissions through a blind selec-tion process. The poems were judged by Andrea Lister, Joe Robinsmith and Katherine Wagner.
Chiu said the judges were very im-pressed with the creativity and passion for the community evident in all the submissions.
“Thanks to everyone who made a submission as the numbers in a short time indicate that there’s a poet in ev-ery one of us.”
The winning poems were submit-ted by: Beckett Evans, Marlowe Evans and Emily Tsui (kids and youth cat-egories); Kieron Donovan, Shelley Ev-ans, Michael Hanlon, Leanne Koehn, Sheila Nickols and Jaimen Shires (adult category).
The second stage of this project is to invite residents to vote for their top two choices by clicking “like” on the city’s Facebook page. The winners will be reserved for permanent installation in the future. You can only vote once for your choice of two out of the 10 poems. Voting closes on October 10.

Thanks Bruce
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 couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’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 couldn’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. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to ght for good customer value.

Two Maple Ridge art-ists need you help to #BendTheRules.
Photographer Lanaya Flavelle and master mu-ralist Kris Kupskay are competing against one other talented “Rule Bender” for a $25,000 grant from HP Canada.
A graffiti artist whose work graces spaces from Maple Ridge to Whis-tler, Kupskay challenges the status quo with his bold and vivid murals.
He transforms pub-lic spaces with acrylic and aerosol, finding a canvas in the most un-conventional of places. He’s also committed to having a positive im-pact on his commu-nity and the kids who live in it. Working with Zero Ceiling - an or-ganization that helps kids make significant life changes – Kupskay uses his unique skill set to mentor and motivate. He merges art and ad-vocacy. And the results are striking.
He recently painted a 2,000-sq. ft mural, blending First Nations art with images of base-ball, for Port Coquitlam Minor Baseball’s bat-ting cage. His work is also featured at the Greg Moore Youth Centre in Maple Ridge.
“Art just happens to be a better way of explain-
ing myself,” says Kupskay in his artist statement.
“You never really know how an artist feels about something until they take the time to paint it for you. I see being an artist as a hidden form of expression. It is the emo-tion that an individual can sink into a piece and never need to disclose. The observer doesn’t need to understand me, or what I am trying to accomplish, in order to appreciate my work.”
Flavelle is a photogra-pher whose work refo-cuses the lens of fashion photography. Flavelle has lived in Maple Ridge since she was three years old.
Dramatic and galvaniz-ing, her images shift the perspective of the female form in popular cul-ture. She also publishes a semi-annual photog-raphy magazine called ReFashion Book. Each edition raises awareness and donates proceeds to a different charitable or-ganization.
She harnesses the per-suasive power of fashion photography to drive positive change.
She is best recognized for her reknowned ‘Woman’ series, gain-ing public attention and media coverage for her controversial photo of plus model Elly Mayday,
pushing over a manne-quin.
This photo has inspired a shift in Lanaya’s pho-tographic work, as she plans to showcase body diversity and empow-ered women her future projects, 2014 forward.

Kupskay and Lanaya Flavelle at #BendTheR-ules.

Opponents of a new coal export terminal on the Fraser River are going to Federal Court to challenge its approval by Port Metro Vancou-ver.
Lawyers for Ecojustice, on behalf of other groups and activists, argue the port authority was wrong to decide the project would have no significant adverse effect on the environ-ment.
The port didn’t take into account the end use impact on climate change.
The notice of application for the lawsuit ar-gues the burning in Asia of the four million tonnes of U.S. thermal coal that the project will ship each year will be equivalent to one per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.
It also alleges port officials were unfair and biased in handling concerns about environ-mental and health impacts, in part because they collaborated closely with Fraser Surrey Docks on public messaging and monitoring opposition.
The claim also alleges port executives will personally benefit from giving the green light because their compensation is tied to the port’s revenue.
The case has been filed on behalf of Voters
Taking Action on Climate Change, the group Communities and Coal, its founder Paula Wil-liams and Surrey resident Christine Dujmov-ich, who lives adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks.
The project will see an extra train a day of thermal coal from the U.S. roll through White Rock to Fraser Surrey Docks. From there it will be barged to Texada Island for reloading to larger ships.
“Local communities will be burdened with the immediate health risks of increased coal transport and then saddled with the impacts of climate change, which are already appear-ing,” Williams said.
“We’re getting hit with a double whammy so that coal companies and the port can make a quick buck.”
Port authority officials said only that they are assessing how they will respond.
Another court clash is coming in B.C. Su-preme Court, where Fraser Surrey Docks is challenging Metro Vancouver’s authority over air quality on federal port lands.
It has said it will also seek an air emissions permit from the regional district on a volun-tary basis, but expects project construction to begin before Metro staff can assess the applica-tion.
The $15-million coal facility is to be opera-tional in the fall of 2015.
Court challenge aims to block new coal terminal

Flames split, stillin first sports@mapleridgenews.com
The Ridge Meadows Flames scored twice in the third period Sunday to edge the host Grand-view Steelers 3-2 and grab an early lead in the Har-old Brittain Conference.
Michael Bell netted the tying goal 1:15 after Grandview scored to take a 2-1 lead.
Grant Rostvig then scored the winner, from Dale Howell, during a four-on-four with two minutes remaining.
Prior to Bell’s goal, Flames head coach Jai-me Fiset said a Grand-view player, after scor-ing, “chirped” his team’s bench.
“It woke us up.”Bell then stepped on the
ice and tied the game.“Michael Bell had a re-
ally strong game Sunday,” Fiset said. “He’s been a very good role model.”

Fiset was also im-pressed with his top line of Rostvig, Danny Wil-son and Dale Howell.
The trio combined for five points in Sun-day’s win.
“They really set the tone.”
Fiset liked how much his team possessed the puck against Grand-view, that the players were fast in transition and didn’t get hemmed in their own end much. But he’d like to see them shoot more.
He’s also like to see them take fewer penal-ties, as the Flames were hurt by them in a 2-1 loss to the North Van-couver Wolf Pack on Friday at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.
While the Flames managed to kill off a few five-on-three situations, Fiset would rather they didn’t have to as often.
He’s been satisfied with the goaltending from both Kurt Klimek and Tyler Read. Klimek made 34 saves in the 2-1 loss, while Read saved 30 of 32 shots in the win.
“I think both goalies did an outstanding job,” Fiset said.
The 3-2 Flames host the Mission City Out-laws on Friday, 7:30 p.m.

Doris passed away peacefully after a brief stay at the McKenney Creek Hospice in Maple Ridge. She was 101 years young. Doris is predeceased by her parents William and Bessie (nee Patterson) Armstrong; her beloved husband J. Ross Murray; and her three brothers and sisters-in-law, Bob and Jean Armstrong, Ken (Mike) and Evelyn Armstrong, and Bill and Ethel Armstrong. She is survived by her daughter Patricia Murray; her
daughter Lynne and son-in-law Boyd Shanks; grandsons David Shanks (Miriam) and Michael Shanks (Lexa); granddaughter Jessica Wooldridge (Craig); great-grandchildren William, Tristan, Tatiana, Mia, Sam, and Alexander; niece Verna Ranger (Eric); and nephews, Vernon Armstrong (Joan), Bill Armstrong (Patti), Tom Murray (Janet), and K. Ross Murray (Betty).Two years after Doris was born in Edmonton, the Armstrong family moved to Port Mann and then New Westminster. Her father, who was born in Scotland, was a Locomotive Superintendent at the CNR Port Mann shops which employed 400 men. Her mother, a very talented homemaker, was born and raised in Brantford, Ontario. After completing her study at business school, Doris enjoyed a 16-year career as a legal secretary for New Westminster lawyers. She was an avid golfer, singer, bowler, member of the New Westminster Business and Professional Women’s Club, Eastern Star, and Sunday School teacher at Saint Aidan’s Presbyterian Church. After marrying RCAF offi cer Ross Murray (DFC), Doris lived on air force bases in Canada and France. After Ross’ retirement from the RCAF in 1960, the family moved to B.C. from Ontario, settling in Burnaby before Ross and Doris moved to Maple Ridge in 1970. Between her mid-70s and early 90s, Doris travelled to the Caribbean, Hong Kong, Hawaii and Alaska, and to many places in Europe. Doris will be missed for her positive outlook on life, her sense of humour, her love of singing, and her loving care and concern for her family. The family wishes to thank at-home-caregivers Demmy, Megan and Trixia; Dr. Shiraz Mawani; and the McKenney Creek Hospice staff for taking such wonderful care of Doris. Please join family and friends on Saturday, September 27th at 1:00 p.m. for a celebration of Doris’ life at Garden Hill Funeral Home: 11765 224th Street, Maple Ridge, B.C. In lieu of fl owers, please consider a donation in Doris’ name to the medical research of your choice.Expressions of sympathy can be made at www.gardenhill.ca
