It could be a few months, at least, before Fraser Cedar Products’ shake and shingle operation is back up and oper- ational, Maple Ridge assistant fire chief Michael VanDop said after speaking with the owner. At least 30 firefighters from Maple Ridge and Mission worked through Saturday night and into Sunday morning fighting a fire that consumed at least half of the mill’s main building at 27400 Lougheed Highway. This was the second fire at the mill in the past year. Last November, the mill suffered another massive fire when a welding spark destroyed the chipper building. While that structure has since been restored, it might take a little longer for Fraser to get back up and operational after this weekend’s blaze, said VanDop. This weekend’s fire engulfed the older half of the main build- ing, including all the machinery required in receiving and manu- facturing logs into shakes and shingles, the chief explained. All the wood in the building was burned, leaving them to sort through mounds of twisted and tangled metal. “It’s hard to get into the meat, in the centre of the building.” Fire officials will be working in tandem with insurance investiga- tors this week to excavate the rubble in search of a cause and the true extent of the damage. The hope, as VanDop under- stands it, is to get the operation back up and going as soon as possible within the newer wing of the building. But, he said, accessing replacement equipment could pose delays. The silver lining in all this, VanDop said, is no one was hurt. There were no employees on site at the time, and no fire- fighters were injured in what he called a “challenging” blaze – in part – because water had to be trucked in from nearby hydrants in Mission.

    INTRINTRODUCINGODUCING

  • Veteran Gary Grigg bowedhis head and stood quietlyby the Maple Ridge cenotaphFriday and Saturday tohonour two soldiers killed onCanadian soil last week.by Roxanne [email protected]

    Gary Grigg stood on guard atthe Maple Ridge cenotaph forthree and a half hours Fridayand another hour and a half onSaturday his head bowed inhonour and reflection.He was paying tribute to his

    fallen Canadian forces comradeswho were killed in EasternCanada last week. He did it soloon Friday, but was joined by sixother veterans on Saturday.It was the right thing to do,

    Grigg said of the vigil.He wants to honour Warrant

    Officer Patrice Vincent, who wasone of two soldiers hit in an actof homegrown terrorism duringa hit-and-run incident in Quebecon Oct. 20. He also wanted tohonour Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, whowas gunned down two days laterwhile standing as an honourguard at the war memorial onParliament Hill in Ottawa.Grigg, a 58-year-old Yennadon

    resident, served with theCanadian Forces from 1971 to2001. And as such, he wanted todo his part to draw attention tothese senseless deaths.All across Canada on Saturday,

    soldiers paid tribute to Cirillo andVincent by holding vigils at vari-ous memorials and landmarks.After learning that his friend

    and former service mate DaveWard stood vigil in Vancouvers

    Victory Square Thursday, Griggdecided to do a little extra inMaple Ridge. So, he kicked it offwith a solo stance on Friday, andthen invited others to join himSaturday.Its nice to show that as veter-

    ans or serving members that westick together as family, he said.Were honouring a soldier

    who was shot in the line of dutyat a place of honour When youjoin the military whether itsreserve or regular forces its a

    family. We respect each otherand when a comrade falls, youdont leave them behind. Youtake care of them. You honourthem. Thats what were doing.Grigg was thanked by many

    passersby during both days oftribute. On Saturday, in the pour-ing rain, a woman brought eachof the veterans hot coffee.But, Griggs said the most

    touching moment for him cameFriday, when a woman broughtflowers to the cenotaph. He

    saluted her as she laid the bou-quet at the base of the cenotaph.I thanked her and she thanked

    me, he recounted.Standing during the long

    moments of silence at the ceno-taph Friday, Grigg heard childrenand adult alike enjoying them-selves in the park, and againrealized how lucky we are.While members serving in hon-

    our guards dont typically speakduring their duties, this non-com-missioned member said he tookseveral opportunities to chat withvisitors and explain his presence.It is simple, he said. We

    [Canadians] take our freedomfor granted. Its not that we wantto go to war but we exist todefend what freedoms we havefrom fanaticals of any ilk andreligion on foreign soil andhere at home.Grigg hopes, however, that

    some good can come from thetragedies. He hopes it will bringincreased security measureand heightened awareness byCanadians of all the dangersthat exist around the globe andhow real those threats are to thiscountry, as well.We never expect something

    like this to happen in Canada.But it did happen in Canadanow that it has happened inCanada, we have lost our inno-cence, he said.In addition to this past week-

    ends efforts, Royal CanadianLegion branches across the coun-try are holding special wreath-laying ceremonies at noon today(Tuesday) to coincide withan Ontario memorial service forCirillo and Vincent.Simultaneously, at the Maple

    Ridge and Pitt Meadows ceno-taphs, Mayors Ernie Daykin andDeb Walters will join legionmembers for a brief tribute.

    Maple Ridge in the winter is perfect forpuddle jumping but it also means youvegot to be prepared for the damp weather.

    As our Friends at The Haney Farmers Market move from our downtowncore to an undercover space I realized that the wet weather will be heresooner than we think.

    I have a beautiful pair of leather boots. I convinced my husband thatalthough they were expensive; they were an investment because Icould wear them for at least five years. These brown beauties are intheir third season and although the style is still very much in fashion,the heel has worn right down and my toes get wet in the rain. Ratherthan buy a new pair of boots and risk hearing I told you so; I tookthem in to Phil at Town Square Cobbler in Haney Place Mall. I thoughtthey might be a lost cause because I let them get so bad. If word ofmouth in Maple Ridge has taught me anything it is that Phil is theguy to take your most prized footwear to for repair. I handed the bootsover, a tad embarrassed in their condition but Phil told me not to worry;hed have them looking brand new. When I came in to pick them up,they looked as beautiful as the day I bought them. He had replacedthe heel and completely water proofed them. He used a fab leathertreatment that brought new life to my boots. Phil has increased the sizeof Town Square cobbler to accommodate a larger selection of beautifulhandbags, rain boots and cowboy boots. I suggest taking a visit andinvesting in a pair of your dream boots for the rainy season ahead.

    As your footwear changes for the season so should your skincareroutine. While visiting Cloud Nine Nail Bar, I noticed a service calledFace Mapping. This free service involves a skin specialist examiningand touching your face while asking you about any concerns you mayhave. The specialist inspects your pores, wrinkles and skin condition.I dont know about you but I always feel overwhelmed in the beautyisle. This process took the guess work out of selecting what productssuit my needs. Cloud Nine Nail Bar offers Dermalogica products whichoffers something for everyone. The shelves are stocked with cleansers,moisturizers, masques, exfoliates, toners and treatments each designedto help with oiliness, acne, skin ageing, uneven skin tone, redness ordryness.

    Haney Builders Supplies has everything you need to get your homeready for the cold damp weather. As a lady who isnt often trusted withpower tools, I was keen to try a leaf blower. This ideal product means nomore raking of soggy lawns after the trees shed their bright leaves. Youjust blow them into a giant pile which is so quick, you even wont mindthat the neighbor kids want to jump in them and spread them all overthe place. Haney Builders Supplies also sells yard waste bags that arebiodegradable and make it so convenient to compost the leaves afteryouve collected them.

    I was feeling a bit melancholy thinking about the grey weather thatawaits us for the next few months but after meeting the wonderfulstaff at Town Square Cobbler, Cloud Nine Nail Bar and Haney BuildersSupplies; my day felt so much brighter. I encourage you to explore thepeople and places that make downtown Maple Ridge a great place tovisit, shop, live and work.

    Our View

    Keep it light,keep it safe

    Everyone wants Halloween to be afun experience, for themselves and espe-cially for their children.

    It is, unfortunately, a time of yearwhen the fun and excitement of the cele-bration can get mixed up with tragedy.

    More and more, parents are forego-ing much of the door-to-door tradition ofcollecting candy, and taking their grue-somely or awesomely masked kidsto neighbourhood parties or other organ-ized group activities.

    But if youre opting to include trick-or-treating in your childs Halloweenexperience, some reasonable prepara-tions will help to ensure it is the founda-tion for happy memories.

    First and foremost, trick-or-treatingis more fun and a lot safer when itis a group activity. Share the fun withfriends, and never go alone.

    Dont just pick costumes and masksfor their scary or dazzling qualities visibility is important, too. Make sureyour kids can see easily from behindtheir masks, and ensure that their cos-tumes keep them visible on the side-walks and especially on the crosswalks which they should always use insteadof jaywalking and darting through traf-fic.

    In fact, it may be difficult with all theexcitement of the evening, but try toslow those kids down a bit. Help motor-ists by mitigating the distractions ofghosts and ghouls jumping in and out oftheir headlights.

    Only trick-or-treat at homes whereyou are welcome porch lights or litpumpkins and decorations make theinvitation obvious, while darkness is aclear indication that the homeownersdont share your Halloween enthusiasm.

    And kids, dont dig into that windfallof candy until it has been inspected byan adult.

    Unfortunately, over the years, it hasbecome quite clear that, although rare,some of Halloweens monsters are real.

    B.G.

    Halloween is a good time toremind ourselves that there arethings we should be scared of,things we should be wary of, andthings that are too silly to worryabout.Zombies fall into the latter cat-

    egory.The whole concept of zombies

    is so silly, you have to wonderwhy anyone would take them ser-iously at all.And yet There are people

    who worry that the appearance ofzombies whether on television or in the moviesor on the streets of our communities may doirreparable damage to the fabric of our society.Hey folks, out there: theyre not real!Now, just in case you didnt get that: Zombies

    are not real! Zombies cannot possibly be real,any more than a 1930s gorilla could be 40 feettall (or a circa 1950s woman could be 50 feettall) without breaking its legs under its ownweight let alone the ridiculous concept of sucha massive creature hauling itself up the outsideof the Empire State Building.Insects cant be as big as buildings, both

    because of the impossible stresses caused to itsbody parts by the mass to volume ratio, andbecause they breathe by exchanging oxygenfrom the air through tiny tubules through theirexoskeletons a respiratory system not remotelyefficient enough to sustain interior tissues andorgans in larger versions.Also impossible would be a race of warlike

    people living at the centre of our earth. If theyattempted to broach the surface of the planetwith intent to do us harm, they would explodefrom the pressure differential before they gotwithin miles of our deepest mine shafts.Zombies make even less sense than nearly all

    of the other monsters that claim to hide underour beds. Theyre dead, and their tissues aredegraded and rotting, and therefore cannot sus-tain life processes.

    Everything that moves requiresenergy to do so. The zombies ofpopular culture use energy, butrarely consume anything fromwhich to derive that energy.Zombies cannot exist, exceptonly in the imaginations of sillypeople with nothing better to dothan to enjoy themselves withimaginings of zombies.Why would anyone deny them

    their enjoyment, when there areso many real things out therethat are far scarier?

    Terrorists, for instance, are far scarier thanzombies or aliens that glow in the dark.Terrorism, as we Canadians learned anew

    last week, is scary. It kills people and destroysfamilies. It has the capacity to turn, for the mostpart, mentally ill people into murderers.But even terrorism doesnt fall into the cat-

    egory of things we should be scared of. Weshould be wary, yes. But not scared.Scarier are stupid drivers with cellphones.We should also be wary of ebola: not scared

    (at least, not yet), but wary. If we dont payattention to it, it could wreak havoc here butwe in North America are quite prepared for thatkind of threat. Disease and pestilence are thingswe only need to be wary of; theyre only scary inplaces where the average standard of living and(by extension) hygiene is far below ours.We should be scared, however, that people

    who live in conditions so vastly substandard toours realize we have much and they have none.That realization has been known to breed terror-ists. And we should be wary of that connection.But what we really need to watch out for is

    our government equating mental illness with ter-rorism, and attacking it with laws that do noth-ing to fight mental illness.When they use a mentally ill terrorist to scare

    us into accepting legislated loss of freedomnow that is scarier than zombies on a Halloweennight.

    Local grannies hit the streets of Vancouverlast week calling for public washroomsinstalled on transite routes. Facebook followershad mixed reactions to their efforts.

    Useful sure, but not so sure if this is a good idea. Are thegrannies going to clean them and keep unwanted peopleand activities from happening in them?

    Darlene Amiel

    Would anyone allow a public pool or hospital building bebuilt without washrooms? Absurd! It should be a given costof the system. There are already transit police who couldbe monitoring things. How are washrooms kept clean inother public places? It can obviously be done.

    Verity Howard

    How about first we address the issues of mental health,homelessness, drug trafficking, and prostitution in the com-munity. I see it daily from my small business along 224thStreet. Toilets are great, but would quickly be locations ofthe aforementioned activities.

    Dear Editor,Two council candidates, Graham Mowatt

    and Grover Telford, have made a pitch tocouncil to reduce parking fees at RidgeMeadows Hospital [Hospital payparking petition put on hold,Oct. 16, TIMES].Lets go back to, Sept. 17, 2008.Seven cities in Metro Vancouver

    already provide a break to vet-erans. Burnaby and Richmondallow free parking for their ownresident veterans cars must haveveterans plates and a local resi-dent decal.White Rock Coquitlam, New Westminster,

    and Port Moody go further, giving free park-ing to any veterans with a veterans plate,regardless of residency.Fraser Health Authority officials say veter-

    ans are allowed to park free at all facilitiesonly during the week of Remembrance Day.For the record, all military personnel are

    classed as veterans; one does not have tohave been in a war. In Canada,you have to come under a NATOagreement if you were never in theCanadian military.I am a veteran with plates, and

    served in the RAF in the UK. Ihave parked for free in all of theabove cities. I firmly believe thatthis has some merit and should beconsidered by the powers that be.

    Metro Vancouver board chair LoisJackson agrees it should be consistent.Those who have served deserve that very

    small respect that we can give them. Comeon, Maple Ridge. Lets do it.

    Editor

    Dear Editor,In view of the past week

    in Ottawa, it would appearthat Canada has been tar-geted by terrorists. To saythis could be a result of ourmilitary troops in the MiddleEast is a probable conclu-sion.To suggest that, as a

    nation, we stand by and do

    nothing about these terror-ists whose only agenda is tokill (often under a religiousdisguise) is absurd.Canada has a proud mil-

    itary history, and to suggestwe stand by while theseterrorists subject the worldto their killing and aggres-sion is ludicrous. Regardlessof politics and what party

    you are for, we should allbe proud to be Canadiansand do our part to eradicatethese terrorists and theirviolent actions.How many more inno-

    cents in the world wouldMs. Pratt [Bombs wrong,Oct. 21 Letters, TIMES] allowto be killed while we standaround trying to spend ourefforts on being humane?Terrorists do not under-

    stand humane treatment,thus there should be nohumane treatment for them.Canada is dealing with themas we should, in the onlymanner they understand.I am proud to be a

    Canadian and to supportour military. Ms. Pratt needsto get her head out of thesand.

    Heartless minds never wonDear Editor,Maria Raynolds is to be commended for her humanitarian

    work. She asks, Why we are not spending our efforts andour money on humanitarian help? [Fighting poor use ofmoney, Oct. 14 Letters, TIMES].In 2011-2012, Canada spent $6 billion on foreign aid,

    slightly more than our departments of health, environ-ment, and food inspection combined. Canada sends aid toapproximately 44 countries.The terrorist ISIS beheads humanitarian workers.One aid worker, Peter Kassig, converted to Islam during

    captivity. Hes next to go, even so. His mother and fatherplead for him.David Haines, an aid worker, was also murdered.ISIS intends on implementing a caliphate on the entire

    world. They are driven solely by their ideology.Ms. Raynolds writes, Hearts and minds are won by kind-

    ness, not bombs. That is predicated on if they have heartsor twisted minds.

    Ebola

    Threat needswatchful eyeDear Editor,Coming back to

    Canada after shopping inWashington, I was pleas-antly surprised when theborder patrol asked us if wehad been in Africa recently.Vigilance is an important

    part of our efforts to containthis lethal disease.However, after thinking

    it over, I realized that theguard could have easilyfound that information onthe pages of the passport,as visas are needed to enterthe continent.When we are faced with a

    worrying phenomenon suchas the threat of a deadly dis-ease like ebola jumping thecontinents, strict adherenceto comprehensive safetymeasures must be observedby everyone.We are all responsible.

    The new BC FamilyLaw Act 2013 for-ces parties to keeptheir family dis-putes, such as custody, aswell as child and spousalsupport out of court byusing alternative disputeresolution options, includ-ing mediation.

    The mediation processmay be done with or with-out legal counsel.This article is aimed at

    those who have chosen togo it alone, either with ajointly appointed mediatoror a counsellor from thelocal court.The mediator is a neutral third party

    who cant look after your best interests orgive you legal advice.Prior to the meeting, have a consultation

    with a family lawyer to be informed ofyour rights and entitlements.There is a misconception out there that

    the mediation process willbe an easy option to avoidmaking full disclosure ofassets and income.Not true. Do your due

    diligence to establish asmuch as you can about thefamily assets.Do not go into a media-

    tion not knowing what is on the table.Call for full disclosure of your spousesassets and income, including, T4s, pen-sion, RRSP statements, vehicles, details ofall bank accounts, and debt commitments.Often, one party has exclusively con-

    trolled the finances during the relationshipand they continue to try to keep control

    through the mediation,by only disclosing to theirspouse what they wantthem to know.Do you know how your

    joint line of credit got to bemaxed-out?If a mediator suspects a

    power imbalance, a badhabit that has continuedthroughout the relationship,this will affect the partiesability to negotiate fairlyand he/she should termin-ate the mediation.Mediation should be in

    a safe environment, whereparties can express their

    views, expectations, needs, fears.Emotions can run high and the same old

    contentious issues are brought up with thesame bad results.High-conflict relationships with violent

    incidents may not be considered suitablefor mediation. If you are concerned foryour safety during or after meditation,

    take the necessary pre-cautions and advise yourmediator.After a settlement is

    reached, never sign offbefore taking the docu-ment to a family lawyer toreview and advise whetherit is in your best interests

    to be bound by the terms.The wording of a settlement may need

    tweaking or fundamental clauses added.It is way easier and cheaper to get it cor-rect up front, than trying to fix it later.Consider mediation as an amicable and

    speedy option to settling your separationissues.

    conitnued from page A1The fire was first reported by

    passersby at about 9:30 p.m.Saturday, and VanDop said the callcame in while most of the fire crewwas cleaning up from a kitchen firein the 23600 block of Kanaka Way.VanDop said he was first on scene

    of the mill fire, and by the time hecrested the hill in the 26000 blockof Lougheed, he said the sky wasglowing orange and it was appar-ent the structure was fully engulfedin flame.Railroad traffic had to be shut

    down for five hours and somevehicle traffic was diverted alongthe easterly section of LougheedHighway, while fighting the blaze.It took the better part of six hours

    to knock down the fire, but crewsremained on scene through the mor-ning, mopping up.

    VanDop said a few hot spots didflare up again overnight, but werequickly quelled.The last firefighters left the site

    Monday morning, when it wasturned back over to the responsibil-ity of the property owner and insur-ance company, VanDop said.

    Portrait banners, unveiled Monday, honour 16 PittMeadows vets.Story and photo by Christopher [email protected]

    Remembrance Day in Pitt Meadows will now have aface, 16 faces, after Mondays unveiling of portrait ban-ners of those who served in Canadas armed forces.Portrait banners of seven living and nine deceased vet-

    erans were hung up outside city hall, which will now bean annual occurance before Remembrance Day. More isexpected be added.We have not captured everyone whove been recog-

    nized today, said Len Walters, who led the banner pro-ject. We will continue fundraising, hopefully get supportfrom the community and next year, have the folks whoare missing.The idea comes from Langley City where Walters is

    head of parks. That city started rolling out portrait ban-ners of their communitys war vets for Remembrance Daya few years ago.Coloured banners with a gold background denotes the

    veterans are still alive while black and white banners ona silver background means the vets are deceased.

    Both the junior and senior PittMeadows Secondary footballsquads are seeing someencouraging results lately.by Eric [email protected]

    It was a blow-out inPitt Meadows whenAbbotsfords Rick HansenSecondary Hurricanesfootball squad squared offagainst the Marauders onFriday night and were blanked bythe boys in green by a score of50-0.We came out early in the game

    and didnt let up, said Marauderscoach Matt Todd.We scored every time we had

    the ball.The victory was an encouraging

    one for Todd and his team.Our biggest thing this year is

    all about playing a full 4 min-utes.He added that after starting

    slow in the game against Missionwhich his team lost, the focus is

    on making sure everyone is readyto go right from the beginning.The key now, said Todd, is to

    keep the momentum from a winlike this going for the remainingtwo weeks of the season.Its that momentum that the

    coach believes will carry histeam into the playoffs and hope-fully help the squad achieve theirultimate goal of being the best inthe province.

    Our goalall along has been to be BCChampions, he explained.However, Todd is cautious not

    to let his crew get too far aheadof themselves.Weve been going one week at

    a time, making sure the kids stayfocused and thats what well con-tinue to do.The team plays in West

    Vancouver this Saturday against

    Sentinel Secondary, and Todd saidthe game should be a good one.

    Juniors looking upThe Junior Pitt Meadows

    Marauders enjoyed their first winof the season against AbbotsfordSecondary on Thursday.For the AA team, the win was a

    high point in what Todd said hasbeen a rough season.

    In the juniors, theyvemade it so AAA and AAteams all play against oneanother, he said.This meant that the

    beginning of the year wasstacked with AAA teamopponents.We managed to make

    it through all these game,Todd said.But it was on Thursday that the

    team clicked, and after being alltied up at 14 apiece at halftime,the juniors would go on to win28-14.One of the biggest things is the

    kids just learning their positionsbetter, Todd said. Experiencebuilds as the season goes on.More at www.mrtimes.com, search Todd

    It was a mixed bag of resultsfor the Ridge MeadowsFlames hockey squad.f

    by Eric [email protected]

    Ridge Meadows Flames goalieKurt Klimek scored his first shut-out on Friday night when he andhis team beat the Port MoodyPanthers 5-0 at Planet Ice, andabruptly halted Port Moodysthree-game winning streak.And while hes happy with his

    goalies performance, Flamescoach Jaime Fiset said that over-all, Fridays win resulted from analmost perfect game plan.We were really happy with

    the execution of this game, Fisetsaid. Port Moody came into thegame having won three games ina row. We didnt take them light-ly, and knew we had to play a full60 minutes of hockey.This philosophy seemed to pay

    dividends for the team all around.Our goalie made timely saves,

    and our defense played verywell, said Fiset.We changed a few of our line

    combinations, and in the lastweek we spent a lot of time work-ing on our own zone. We couldsee this made a difference in thisgame, and we had scoring fromfive different players.Fiset said a large component of

    this years team is the resiliencythat it displays on a continuingbasis.And it was this resiliency that

    would be tested on Saturdaynight, during the second oftwo back-to back-games for theFlames, when they faced offagainst the North VancouverWolfpack.The Flames lost the match 8-4,

    but Fiset said he was pleased withhis teams effort and the heartthey displayed in the match-up.We were down 4-1 at one

    point, we battled back and madeit 4-3, he said. Then the team,went down 5-3, before the Flamesput another in the net to put aone-goal gap in the game yetagain.

    In the end though, Fiset said,his team just ran out of gas.The effect of back-to-back

    games eventually took its toll onthe Flames and the fresh-legged

    North Vancouver team broke itopen in the last five minutes.We showed a lot of pushback

    during the game though, and wedidnt quit, Fiset said.
