An underpass taking vehicles beneath the CP Railway tracks on Harris Road will serve only to speed motorists to a congested Lougheed Highway, says a former city councillor.
It will not relieve traffic conges-tion through Pitt Meadows, and
Ken Joyner said council should be looking at a new east-west route and an overpass to get traffic out of the city more quickly.
Joyner has lived in the city for 60 years, and was an alderman on council for nine years, ending in 1982. He ran for mayor that year, but was not elected.
Joyner proposes a northwest route out of the city that would take traffic up Baynes, Ford and McTavish Roads. McTavish would be extended for a short distance, following the Katzie Slough, and
ultimately come out at Kennedy, near the Pitt River Bridge. There, it would access Lougheed via a new overpass, which would allow traffic to proceed on the highway in either direction.
Joyner said the plan would take a lot of traffic off the highway through Pitt Meadows, and would even serve as a link to the Ham-mond area.
Joyner said variations on this plan were discussed at the coun-cil table during the 1970s, but the route has been forgotten for
many years.While it would demand some
significant infrastructure, Joyner said his plan would make better use of the routes already in place.
“It’s using existing roads, which would have to be upgraded,” he said.
He acknowledges the underpass, which CP Rail and the city are discussing, should also be done, if only so emergency responders do not get trapped on the wrong side of a train.

Would you be OK raising your taxes to pay for a new Maple Ridge aquatic centre, if it meant paying for a new museum as well?
Or should a new stadium in Albion be part of a package that includes new ice sheets and community halls?
Council got a clearer look Monday at some of the recreation projects that could be funded under a proposed $110-million borrowing package that is part of this year’s budget.
No decisions have been made, nor has the manner been decided by which the public will vote on any re-sulting tax increase.

Coun. Tyler Shymkiw wants to remind
people, when they comment about city affairs or politicians, when passion turns into abuse and personal attacks, there is a person at the other end of the keyboard.
“Politicians … everywhere in the world are dealing with it,” Shymkiw says.
The assumption is, they signed up for it.
“But I don’t think that’s neces-sarily true.”
Shymkiw, starting his second year on Maple Ridge council, hasn’t reactivated his personal Facebook page since Christmas, which means he’s not plugged into the increasing number of groups that discuss local issues.
“It’s the group piece that I’m stepping back from and reassess-ing, because that’s where you see the nastiness going on,” he said. “People start treating it like a spectator sport.”
Shymkiw said belonging to a range of Facebook groups is be-
coming labour intensive as com-ments from one group are posted to another.
“There have been, for me, and continue to be, growing concerns with what’s happening with more and more groups, and the con-stant cross-posting, making it dif-ficult for me to even keep track of where I’m talking to who,” he said online.
“There’s some stuff that’s pretty horrendous,” he added.
“Most of these people are really good when you meet them in per-son, most of them. There’s some-thing dehumanizing about the whole social media thing at times, especially when it comes to politi-cians in the public eye.”
The deputy mayor is still re-sponding to questions on his city Facebook page and if someone wants to go on his Facebook page and “have a dialogue in a respect-ful way, there’s nobody I’m not going to answer.”
He acknowledges though, he isn’t getting the worst of it.
“I think the mayor is taking the most of it,” Shymkiw said.
In addition to personal attacks, the extra time required to stay up to date online is another concern.
“There is a growing expectation that we respond 24/7 to any sort of inquiry.”
That places a huge demand for councillors who are on Facebook. Shymkiw estimates during busy times he’s spending 30 hours a week online, and the same again
doing regular council duties.
But he likes to give de-tailed answers to people’s questions.
C o m b i n e d with e-mail, “we spend more time that what the actu-al expectations for the whole job are.”
Neither is there any downtime in the digital world. People can post at any time, ask questions or make misstatements at 3 a.m. As a politician, he wants to cor-rect or respond to that as soon as possible.
“It becomes a real 24/7 thing.”Shymkiw notes that council
wages have been frozen for sev-eral years and now politicians are facing the duties of the digital world.
“I think the general population needs to decide if that’s where they want their representatives to be spending their time.”
He said he’ll keep his political Facebook page open so he can answer simple back and forth questions. And he’ll still get into dialogue.
The nastiness isn’t directed only towards politicians, but to others as well, such as the homeless.
“Which doesn’t lead to a good place either, as a community or as a society. We all have a respon-
sibility to try to elevate that level of dia-logue,” Shym-kiw said.
“Some of the popula-tion does want to hear that Donald Tr u m p - t y p e discourse. But
I don’t think that’s where we need to head as a society.”
As for Mayor Nicole Read, she has faced a barrage of Facebook attacks since being elected in No-vember 2014.
“I am hesitant to engage you giv-en your utterly abusive conduct towards me during the election and the horrible posts on your own page that were sent to me by residents,” Read wrote in response to one post last July.
Even her husband, Steven Read, weighed in to defend his wife.
The mayor, though, wonders why people do that.
“It can really be mean spirited and what’s the point of that, I don’t know,” she said.
During debates about homeless-ness, “there was a lot of mean stuff going on. It was very difficult for me and my family.”
She noted that other mayors face the same type of comments.
But she still believes there’s val-ue in social media. It allows her to connect with voters and can do so by limiting her time on it.
She’ll also respond to comments and questions, but notes that some Facebook groups are better than others, depending on how well they’re moderated.
“There are sites that I’m com-fortable going on.”
But council will have to talk about how each councillor’s com-ments online affect how council actually operates.
“I definitely think we’re in new and uncharted territory when it comes to governance and free-dom of information.”
Read has two Facebook pages and doesn’t get negative com-ments on her personal Facebook page, which allows voters to see who she is as a person, adding that many voted for her for the reasons on that page.
Both Couns. Bob Masse and Gordy Robson have Facebook pages, but aren’t active on them.
“I just don’t like it. It’s not a me-dium that appeals to me,” said Masse. “I don’t see enough value to put in the time that it would take.”
Robson said he doesn’t find it useful and that it takes too much time talking to the same group of people and sometimes even changing their votes on council because of Facebook feedback.
“I don’t find it useful,” he said.“The people who have Facebook …
they spend a lot of time talking over and over about the same things.”
He said he can be reached by telephone or e-mail.
Social media not always so socialIt’s not so simple for municipal politicians to navigate the numerous social media channels on which interest groups discuss local issues.

A Pitt Meadows wom-an suffered burns and her kitchen caught fire in a cooking accident on Saturday night.
Fire Chief Don Jol-ley said the cook was not aware of a simple fire safety rule – never throw water on burning oil.
The woman was cook-ing with oil when it caught fire.
She put the pot in the sink, and turned on the
water. “The oil exploded all
over the room,” said Jol-ley. “Never, never put water in boiling oil. It is extremely dangerous.”
The flaming oil spat-tered the woman, caus-ing minor burns, and ignited her kitchen.
Jolley said firefighters were called at about 8 p.m., and were able to quickly extinguish the fire, but there was dam-age to kitchen cabinets.
Jolley advised that when oil catches fire, it
should be smothered by either placing the lid or a baking sheet on the pot, or by using baking soda, and turning off the heat.
Train engine flamesFollowing that call, at
about 8:30 p.m. on Sat-urday firefighters were dispatched to multiple reports of a CP Railway train engine that ap-peared to be on fire.
The train stopped at the Harris Road cross-
ing. Firefighters asked CP to shut down the line while they inves-tigated, but the train started and continued on its way.
Flames on a train en-gine are “fairly normal according to CP,” said Jolley.
However, he said it is concerning that the company did not con-sult with firefighters be-fore continuing, and he will be communicating with the railway com-pany.

Tardy book returners can lower their library fines and help those in need during the Fra-ser Valley Regional Li-brary’s second annual Food for Fines cam-paign.
Until Jan. 17, people are invited to ‘pay’ their fines with food.
Bring in commercially packaged, unexpired, non-perishable food items to any FVRL loca-tion and have your fines reduced. One food item equals $2 in fines/fees, and up to $30 of fines/fees owed per library account can be waived during the campaign.
All items collected will be donated to the local food bank.
“One of FVRL’s strate-
gic priorities is continu-ally build meaningful partnership with vari-ous local community agencies,” said Heather Scoular, FVRL’s direc-tor of customer experi-ence. “This particular collaboration is a great way to reduce barriers for our customers by helping them reduce or eliminate their overdue fines/fees, and provide much needed donations
to our local food banks. Last year we collected thousands of items, and in turn we waived ap-proximately $21,000 worth of fines.”
Local pantries are es-pecially in need of pasta and pasta sauce; canned meats, fruits and vege-tables; cold cereals; baby food; peanut butter and jam; rice, flour, sugar, oats; protein drinks; soups and stews.

A message from the Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association
Dear parents,
We work hard to give your
children the best education
possible. We celebrate with
them when they master a new
concept and help them think
creatively when tackling a
tricky problem.
But standardized tests like
the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades
4 and 7 take away from
those wonderful moments of
learning.
The FSAs do not count for
marks, create needless stress
for students, are expensive,
and the much-delayed results
do not actively support your
child’s progress.
The data is also misused to
rank schools, which puts
pressure on teachers to teach
to the test, instead of to
students’ interests and needs.
That’s why teachers in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows
recommend you send a
letter to your school principal
requesting that your
child be exempted
from the FSA.
Exempt your child from the FSA

A teenage boy was air-lifted to hospital after being struck by a pickup truck on Cottonwood Drive in Maple Ridge Sunday after-noon, according to Ridge Meadows RCMP.
The boy was crossing the road with his dog when struck by a southbound Ford Ranger near 116 Av-enue, around 3:40 p.m.
“The youngster was im-mediately cared for by
citizens while emergency services were on their way,” RCMP Cpl. Brenda Win-penny said.
He was airlifted by B.C. Ambulance Service to hos-pital.
He remains in hospital and is now in stable condi-tion, according to family.
The dog, however, did not survive.
The occupants of the truck remained and have fully cooperated with the investigation, police said.

“You have to have it for fire services and emer-gency services,” said Joyner.
But he asserts that if the CPR benefits from an underpass to assist the railway in train building, then the company should pay for it.
Mayor John Becker said he is aware of past discus-sions and plans like the one Joyner suggests.
“In Pitt Meadows, traffic improvements are like the weather – everyone talks about them,” said Becker. “And nothing ever seems to be done.”
But Becker said the CPR underpass project will be on council’s agen-da on Jan. 19, at a regular meeting. There will be a detailed presentation of the information the city currently has about the proposed project.
He predicts that if the underpass gets construct-ed, it will only be through the cooperation of mul-tiple partners – including the likes of the rail com-pany and Port Metro – because it is a project that will cost more than $20 million.
“Anything we do has ramifications to change our community for all
time,” said Becker, and promised full community consultation before these transit projects are begun.
Budget talkPitt Meadows faces ris-
ing costs to pay for the creation of its own parks and recreation depart-ment, and a parks and rec transition reserve will be discussed as council enters budget delibera-tions on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
Mark Roberts, the act-ing CAO, has prepared a budget that calls for a 3.45 per cent tax increase, and now councillors will examine expenditures to see if that number can be adjusted.
Other new budget costs to be debated will include an environmental officer position, recommenda-tions from the citizens’ committee on open gov-ernment, new software systems and a city events coordinator.
Following Thursday’s deliberations, council will have almost completed the budget process. The steps remaining will be public consultation at a Feb. 4 workshop titled Municipal Taxes Ex-plained, from 7-9 p.m. at city hall. Final adoption is March 1.

Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera.
I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is, an anti-capitalist propaganda film.
Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.”
Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collective strikes back.
Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry.
Now the story line is being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s “war in the woods,” which led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.
Protest tactics are being refined. Tar-geting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style
narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media.
There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now, although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is also protected from logging, as are most of the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising.
The network uses multiple front groups. Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunc-tions against direct actions that dis-rupt legal logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters.
A 1990s remnant called Friends of Carmanah-Walbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous ac-tion” by three protesters to disrupt log-ging. Not their guys, you understand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a road-building blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons.
These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction.
Cast in the role of evil corporation is Teal-Jones Group, a B.C. forest compa-ny trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted forest in the world.
It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where investments have been made to
handle second-growth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest.
Protesters have dubbed their latest tar-get, the tiny 3.2 hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove,” for media and fundraising purposes.
Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey pro-vided me some information to counter protester claims.
Block 4424 isn’t being logged, al-though it was permitted last fall. Pro-testers are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park.
Teal-Jones has not only received per-mits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are inde-pendently certified by the Canadian Standards Association.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protect-ing Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4.
The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Val-ley until the end of March.
A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled.
He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for left-wing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging.

Social goodIngrid RiceNews Views
Social media often gets a bad rap. Often deserv-edly so.
Critics don’t have to look far for evidence of its – and our – failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy or paranoia, as local politicians are finding out first hand.
But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting – just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.
Social media is an easy mark and an easy scape-goat – but it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.
And many of those individuals are good, basi-cally decent people. Their greatest crime is us-ing social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty – whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.
Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit – evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obses-sion with technology.
Such is the case with a Maple Ridge family whose father is fighting cancer. An essay contest is being circulated through social media will grant one family a bursary. Vote for Jayme C. here: http://www.bxprotocol.com/contest/.
Many have already responded. They feel for the family in its predicament.
It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social me-dia – particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

Editor, The News:Re: Petition for immuniza-
tion (The News, Jan. 8).If Katie Clunn wants to
live in a society that all our choices are made for us or the parents have no say and can’t make informed deci-sions about their children, then I say you are living in the wrong country.
I have three kids and they have had some shots and some they have missed due to what is in these vaccines.
I agree that vaccines have worked, but some don’t.
It’s what is inside these vaccines that worry me.
New studies are now showing that autism, Al-zheimer’s disease and vari-ous other ailments have been linked to aluminum being in our body.
Our body does need alu-minum, but in micro doses, in the range of 25 mg, and vaccines have been found to have around 280-300 mg in a single shot.
This is why when parents can make a choice. It must
be an informed choice. Autism currently affects 1
in 68 children, and increase of 30 per cent since 2012.
If you want to vaccinate your kids, then go for it, and
by that thought your kids should be protected and you don’t need to worry.
If some kid goes to school unknowingly having a dis-ease, then your kid should
be protected and it would be up to the parents to stay home away from work to look after the child.

Editor, The News:I am a pedestrian. I don’t drive. In the past month, I have heard of four motor vehicle ac-
cidents involving pedestrians, some fatal. Even in broad daylight, I have had to jump out of the
way of vehicles turning left or right because the drivers are watching traffic more than pedestrians.
But at this time of year, all pedestrians need to be more diligent, especially after dark.
On Jan. 4, my husband and I drove east on Ford Road in Pitt Meadows, then turned south on Harris Road. He was not even driving the speed limit, and Harris Rd. is well lit. We came close to the first crosswalk when my husband had to jam on the brakes. There was a pedestrian dressed all in black. Even I only saw him at the last second.
If and when I go out after dark, I always make sure I wear something reflective or carry a flashlight.
Pedestrians, do not assume that you can be seen by vehi-cle drivers, because if you are hit, it is not always their fault.
On that note, a number of years ago I was hit while riding my bike after dark. But because I didn’t have lights on my bike, the police wouldn’t even consider my case.
So for pedestrians who think we’re invincible, think again.
Pay attention, use reflectors or flashlights after dark, and remember that you are virtually invisible after dark if you’re wearing dark clothing.
And, yes, drivers need to be more diligent as well at this time of year.

A city salt truck lost control and flipped onto its side, spilling a load onto a residential lawn at the corner of 108th Avenue and Tam-arack Lane on Sunday.
Residents said there was black ice through-out the area at the time, around 10 a.m., and police confirmed there were several minor ac-cidents and vehicles go-ing out of control.
Residents helped the salt truck driver to get out of his vehicle through the passenger door.
He was not injured, according to city spokesman Fred Arm-strong, and the truck was righted, having sustained minor dam-age.
Armstrong said the city received numerous requests for road ser-
vice from the public due to frost, and crews were brining and salting the roads in the Albion and Kanaka neighborhoods when the accident took place.
Armstrong said the roads were slippery, but the accident occurred
in an area where there was ice built up on the road, possibly from people having washed their vehicles on the weekend.
He said it was sunny, but the temperatures were below freezing that night. In condi-
tions when tempera-tures are dropping be-low zero, people should take their vehicles to a commercial car wash, Armstrong advised.
Tamarack area resi-dents took salt from the flipped truck and spread it onto the road.

Another part of Ma-ple Ridge’s downtown could be filled in if a
165-unit condo pro-posal in south Port Haney gets through rezoning.
Mussallem Realty wants to build 50 con-
dos facing west, at 11650 – 224th Street. It also wants to build another 115 units that would face east on the property that has
frontage on both 224th and Fraser Streets.
One part of the proj-ect is the completion of Fraser Street, which is currently broken
into two sections. The new development would connect both north and south parts of the street.
According to a City
of Maple Ridge staff report, the prop-erty has “significant viewscapes,” and the application re-quires rezoning from ground-oriented mu-lit-family to medium-density residential.
“The site context suggests that the area
may undergo signifi-cant transition over the next decade.”
The building on the west side of the prop-erty would be six sto-reys high, while the building facing on to Fraser Street will be stepped, consisting of a six-storey section and a three-storey section, to reflect the hilly topography.
The property almost faces the triangular shaped property on 224th where a hotel has been proposed. It’s also adjacent to two city lots that have been earmarked for several years for a new Maple Ridge museum and archives, although there is no money to do that.
Council had its first look at the proposal during its committee meeting Monday. Staff are recommending the proposal.

Delilah was found as a stray up in the North Cariboo. She was not claimed and has recently been transferred to Maple Ridge in hopes of fi nding a permanent home soon. This girl is eager to meet new people and will come running to greet you. She is affectionate and enjoys lap time, however she has shown to get over-stimulated with too much petting, and will let you know when she has had enough. Therefore a cat-savvy, adult-only home is best. She does not seem to like the company of other cats so a home where she will be queen of her castle is a must. She does require a specifi c Urinary SO diet but this cost no more then any other good quality pet food.

‘More fields’Bundles from front
“Some of these are going to be extremely contentious, such as the museum. Rather than worry about whether some things are go-ing to be a poison pill or not, give the public a broken-down choice what we’re going to do going forward,” Coun. Tyler Shymkiw said at the workshop meeting.
Council is now trying to prioritize its projects and is looking at a grad-ing system so that it can objectively rank each of the projects.
“We really need to get on this because we have a growing communi-ty,” said Mayor Nicole Read.
“One thing that’s clear is there are not enough fields,” she added.
“We have a lot of kids in this community who need field time.”
Whether taxpay-ers will be voting on a group of recreational projects or on separate projects remains to be seen.
“I think that’s really hard to say right now. There are so many dif-ferent possibilities,” Read said later.
Council looked at 12 groups of related proj-ects that have been compiled and could fit well together, possibly resulting in a savings, if coordinated.
• One of the priciest on the list is a multi-use wellness facility and aquatic centre, featur-ing a 25-metre pool, a hot pool, sauna, steam room and a lazy river. That would be sur-rounded by a three-lane running track and would include two basketball courts, a six-sheet curling rink and a fitness centre that would ring in at be-tween $60 million and $70 million. Operating costs would be about $2 million a year.
According to staff, the project would be unique, saying such European-type facili-ties are just beginning to become popular in North America.
• Another project en-tails upgrading the Ma-ple Ridge Leisure Cen-tre pool, beyond the $6 million in needed re-pairs. The proposal is to spend up to another $15 million to expand the 25-metre pool from six to eight lanes and to ex-pand the deck and seat-ing area to make it more conducive to competi-
tive swimming events. The could be done with-out any increase in op-erating costs.
The work would be done on the premise that the “majority of future growth in Maple Ridge will occur in the downtown,” says the re-port.
• Another “bundle” of projects includes a 5,000-seat covered, out-door stadium, costing $5 million. That would be paired with ongoing upgrades and additions to the sports fields cur-rently underway in Al-bion flats.
• A new museum and archives building comes under the label “cultural facility,” and will cost about $11 million, with annual costs of about $1.5 million, and would include a 150-seat per-forming arts theatre. Partnership with the Katzie or Kwantlen First Nations could be possible.
A new museum had been planned a de-cade ago on property on 224th Street, above Haney House, but has remained unfunded since.
Read said there could be potential grant mon-ey for such a project.
“I feel like this is an area where I have expe-rience,” said the mayor, who operates a histori-cal research company.
• A youth action park is another project and is already funded in the 2018 budget at a cost of just under a million dollars.
• Up to another $25 million could be needed to expand the Planet Ice arena from two to four ice sheets, under the assumption that a new curling rink would be built in the new fitness aquatic centre. That project would entail a skating lounge and re-quire cooperation with RG Properties, which operates the rink.
• Community halls in Silver Valley and Al-bion and a retrofit of Hammond Community Hall is another set of projects that have been grouped together. Some money has already been set aside for an Albion community hall. Cost for the new halls range between $6 and $12 million.
• More off-leash dog areas, a water play park, trail expansion, com-munity gardens, and a consultation process to decide how to use Jack-son Farm park round out the other projects.
Each one is to be eval-uated by five criteria: whether it will serve as a regional attraction, meet a need, has a youth or family focus, follows major trends and is cost efficient.
“The idea is to get something transparent, something with some rigour in it, something that you can defend and explain to others,” Brian Johnston, of Profes-sional Environmental Recreation Consultants, told council.
Read said later that urgency and cost are the most important criteria.
“We really need to understand what kind of facilities we want.
What’s urgent, what we can delay a lot longer.”
However, council hasn’t yet agreed on such a grading system.
Shymkiw said the city still has to know the cost and council has to be comfortable with the entire process.
“It doesn’t matter what we spend … we need permission to borrow it,” cautioned Coun. Craig Speirs.
Whatever’s decided has to suit the city for when it reaches its target population of 130,000.
Read said a plebiscite could go to the public as soon as the summer.
Coun. Corisa Bell
wanted more commu-nication with the pub-lic. People she’s talked to assume council has already decided to bor-row $110 million.
It’s not certain exactly how much the city will need to borrow.
“How is this going to be presented to the pub-lic,” Bell asked. “How will the public partici-pate in this process and when?”
“My interpretation of what’s happening out there is that people are not necessarily under-standing what we’re doing right now. Some-thing from the finance manager might be very helpful.”
But the city is follow-ing the general direc-tion of the parks and recreation master plan, passed in 2011 and which created a list of priorities, said recre-ation general manager Kelly Swift.
While the list was cre-ated the master plan, it didn’t set out any way to fund the millions of dollars in projects.
Coun. Gordy Robson was worried about the financial impact of op-erating costs for such facilities.
Johnson said priori-ties can be reordered based on the amount of money available.
Coun. Bob Masse said
he favoured a full plebi-scite or referendum so the public can directly vote on the issues in-stead of the alternative approval process, in which 10 per cent of the voters is required to force a referendum.
Johnston will return to council with an eval-uation of the future de-mands for the projects as well as their operat-ing costs.
Shymkiw added later he favours having the public vote on separate projects rather than put a combined everything to a yes or no vote, al-though, “council still needs to have a discus-sion on it.”

Five Maple Ridge secondary stu-dents will be donating $5,000 to charity after winning a nationwide competition teaching youth the fun-damentals of philanthropy.
Maya Spindel-Wood, Cassandra Joyce, Zaria Solk, Clara Killerich-Hubner, and Ava Morant won the donation after submitting a presen-tation to the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) on their charity of choice: Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities in Langley, BC.
YPI, founded in 2002 and spon-sored by the Toskan Casale Founda-tion, gives out $500,000 annually to teens across Canada in order to give them the chance to play a direct role in making a financial grant to a lo-cal, grassroots service organization in their own community.
High school students in Planning 10 form groups and pick an organiza-tion they want to support. They con-nect with and do research on the or-ganization and create a presentation for their class with each class select-ing the best presentation. Then they make their pitch in front of a panel of judges made up of school faculty and the previous years winners.
The winning group receives the $5,000 for their charity.
The final YPI presentations were held on Nov. 27, 2015.
This year over 22,000 secondary schools across Canada took part in the program.
The MRSS students will be using the money they won to purchase a ‘platinum horse sponsorship,’ cover-ing the expenses of a horse for a year.
On Friday they met their spon-sored horse, Grover.

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 fi ght for good customer value.

The Pitt Meadows Marauders senior boys have been playing their best basketball of the season, just in time to host their annual Air Show Tournament this weekend.
“We played the best we’ve ever played,” coach Rich Goulet said after his team’s per-formance at the Chancellor Tournament at Saint Thomas More in Burnaby over the weekend.
It is a rebuilding year for the Marauders, and they have dropped down to triple A, instead of playing on the elite quadruple A circuit.
They started the STM tournament with a 52-42 win over the Sutherland Sabres of North Vancouver. Mandeep Basra put up 15 points and 10 rebounds.
“He has been on a run that has come out of nowhere,” Goulet said of his six-foot-one centre. Ryan Severinski was another leader, and had nine points.
That advanced the Marauders to their sec-ond-round opponent, the host STM Knights, where they upset a team that has been ranked fourth in the province on the triple A circuit, by a score of 62-58.
“We played unbelievably well – probably the game of their lives,” said Goulet. “We were moving the ball better, playing better defence ... we could do no wrong.”
Basra put up 18 points to lead the scoring
and Severinski had 14.Mitchell Antoniak’s great perimeter shoot-
ing kept his team in the game, as he nailed four treys and put up 13 points.
Next up came the G.W. Graham Grizzlies – a solid team out of Chilliwack. They are the fourth-ranked team in double A, and beat Goulet’s group 75-63 to end their tourna-ment championship aspirations.
Basra had a career high 28 points and 10 boards, while Antoniak scored 11.
After that letdown, the playing in their fourth game in five days, the Marauders lost their last game of the Chancellor by a score of 77-40 to the South Kamloops Titans – an-other team in the provincial rankings, with a triple A honourable mention.
Basra scored 14 and Antoniak eight.Last Tuesday night, before the tournament,
the Marauders beat New Westminister 60-50 in an exhibition game.
So, they have been playing good ball as they host the Air Show.
“We’re in a good place,” said Goulet. “The kids are happy with themselves – they’ve shown they can play.”
The tournament will include some tough competition, including the Charles Hays Rainmakers out of Prince Rupert, who are ranked seventh in triple A, the Nanaimo Dis-trict Islanders, who are an honourable men-tion. There are also quad A teams, including Mt. Boucherie and Heritage Woods, and the top-ranked team in double A, the Colling-wood Cavaliers out of West Vancouver.
Pitt Meadows will open the tournament at noon on Friday, in a game to be played in front of a huge crowd from the school.

The Ridge Meadows Flames got an over-time win and suffered a loss in a pair of weekend games against the Abbotsford Pi-lots in Junior B hockey action.
The Pilots are one of the league’s top teams, sitting in third place in the Pacific Junior Hockey League.
In Abbotsford on Saturday, Jackson Waniek registered a hat-trick as the Ab-botsford won the second of back-to-back meetings by a score of 8-2.
Andrew Strelezki and Alexandre Furlan both scored for the Flames.
In Maple Ridge on Friday, Brad Cromp-ton scored the game-winning goal in over-time as the Flames defeated the Pilots by a score of 4-3.
Marco Ballarin registered a goal and an assist for the Flames, who trailed the game 3-1 after 20 minutes, but had an impressive comeback.
Furlan and Jacob Dorey also scored for the Flames.

Brendan Morrison, the centre for the Van-couver Canucks famous Westcoast Express line and one of Pitt Mead-ows’ favourite sons, is headed for the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame.
His pending induc-tion was announced last
week. He and former teammate Murray Bar-on, longtime Canucks equipment manager Pat O’Neill and former Ca-nucks defenceman and current B.C. Hockey League commissioner John Grisdale will also be inducted at a July 22 ceremony in Penticton.
Morrison was chosen
39th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft. After he enjoyed a fine year with Penticton of the BCJHL, Morrison went on to an exemplary four years with the Univer-sity of Michigan. The talented centre topped the CCHA in scoring three straight years and
led the Wolverines to the NCAA title in 1996. He was the winner of the Hobey Baker Award in 1997.
Morrison played a regular shift with New Jersey in 1998-99. He scored 46 points and played a good two-way game. But he was trad-ed to the Canucks with Denis Pederson for star Russian sniper Alexan-der Mogilny.
Morrison centered all-stars Markus Naslund and Todd Bertuzzi, and was an important player with the Canucks, as his speed and anticipa-tion landed him signifi-cant time on both the power play and penalty kill. His career highs in goals (25), assists (46) and points (71) were hit during the 2002-03 season.
He had an ironman streak to 542 consecu-tive games.
In the summer of 2008, the Anaheim Ducks signed the un-restricted free agent forward Morrison to a one-year, $2.75 million contract, and he left the Canucks.
His last season in the NHL was 2011-2012, split between the Cal-gary Flames and Chi-cago Blackhawks.

HUNTERKathleen Selina
Sister Eileen Marie Hunter The Con-gregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada, London site, announce the death of our dear Sr. Eileen Marie in our Care Centre, January 9, 2016. Kathleen Selina Hunter was born in 1930 in Windsor, Ontario. Re-ceived into our religious Community in 1948, Kathleen was given the name Sr. Eileen Marie. Lovingly re-membered by her long-time friend Sr. Paulette Mellon, all her CSJ Sisters, her sister Eileen Lucier and husband Eugene, and sisters-in-law Barb
and Patricia, as well as nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her mother Helen (Kane), father Thomas, and brothers Joseph and Thomas. An energetic and dedicated teacher, Sister’s kindness and model of excellence was particularly noted in her ministry as princi-pal in elementary and high schools throughout South Western Onta-rio and in Maple Ridge B.C. Retired from teaching Sr. Eileen Marie served on Congregational committees, as a mentor to our Windsor Associates, and Coordinator of Holy Rosary Convent. In her last few years living in Windsor she served on the Board of Drouillard Place, and Second Chance Ministry, volunteered at Hotel Dieu Hos-pital, and was chaplain for the Ford City Optimist. In 2015 acknowl-edging Eileen’s move to London, Second Chance Ministry created a bursary in her name. A woman with an expansive heart, compas-sionate and proud of her Irish roots, Sr. Eileen Marie loved her com-munity and was a great advocate in encouraging others to join us in our mission of unity and reconciliation. We thank the staff of our Care Centre for their constant and attentive care. All services will be held at the Sisters’ Residence, 485 Windermere Rd., London, with visitation on Tuesday, January 12, from 2-4 and 7-8 p.m. with a Prayer Service at 6:30 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be cele-brated on Wednesday, January 13, 11:00 a.m. with Father John Co-miskey presiding, followed by interment in St. Peter’s Cemetery, London.

Angie McLeod is a skilled business facilitator, strategist, consultant and community developer specializing in helping women entrepreneurs and non-profi t organizations grow and fl ourish in a competitive environment. Angie’s goal when working with women entrepreneurs is to help them be “wildly successful on their own terms” not according to anyone else’s values, beliefs, or parameters. Angie mentors women entrepreneurs to explore what is most important to them and to shape the work to refl ect their unique value set – in both their business and personal life – thereby helping them craft the life they desire.
As women entrepreneurs, mothers, daughters, wives, volunteers, household manager, and family taxi service we all wear many hats. Juggling all those hats can be downright overwhelming at times. In this 30-minute interactive and fun presentation, we will do a short workload assessment, test our juggling skills, identify where we need help, and discuss how to best manage the day-to-day demands of your busy life.
To RSVP call the Chamber at 604-457-4599 or email [email protected] by noon on January 12, 2016.
