The mutilated carcass of a poached black bear was dumped in a Pitt Meadows field in early Sep-tember.
The B.C. Wildlife Federation is offering a $2,000 reward for infor-mation about the illegal kill as the conservation service investigates it.
“It was quite disturbing,” said con-
servation officer Cody Ambrose. A farmer found the large boar on
Sept. 8 in a secluded section of his field near Neaves and Thompson roads, close to the Pitt Polder.
The bear had been shot and was missing its front paws.
“It had been dead for at least a couple of days before it was dropped in the field,” said Ambrose.
“This is unique compared to oth-er poaching cases or bears shot in this area. It’s quite unusual because just its front paws were cut off. The back paws and gall bladder were left.”
Bear hunting season spans from April 1 to June 15 in B.C., but is not allowed in Pitt Meadows or Maple Ridge.
“We do get a lot of poaching in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area,” said Ambrose.
“But this one is unusual because someone took the time to go into a field and drop the bear off. The bear had been dead for at least two days.”
Bile and body parts, taken from bears using inhumane means, feed an illegal trade in bear products which extends worldwide.
According to the Endangered Spe-cies Handbook, the consumption of bear paws, cooked as a gourmet delicacy, to some, is health promot-ing and widespread in Asia.
Served at Japanese business ban-quets, they can cost $1,000 per per-son; a Seoul restaurant advertised bear paw soup in 1994 at $1,000 per bowl.
It is illegal to commercially export bear parts, including gall bladders and bile, under the Convention of the International Trade in Endan-gered Species.
One man was shot and an-other stabbed following a fight early Tuesday on a busy street in west Maple Ridge.
Ridge Meadows RCMP closed off a section of Laity Street on both sides of Lougheed High-way after receiving a call about shots fired around 8 a.m.
Officers arrived to find two men injured in two different locations along Laity.
“There was an argument and it got extremely heated,” Insp. Dan Splinter said.
Police allege the dispute was over illegal street drugs.

2 -- Wednesday, October 1, 2014 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
Former Maple Ridge mayor Gordy Robson is weighing a return to council, and he could be bringing his wife Mary with him.
“There’s a lot of people who want me to go. It’s easy for them to say,” Robson said Monday. “We had de-cided, both of us, we weren’t going to do anything.”
Now, one or the other or both could run for a council seat on Nov. 15.
Mary Robson is executive-direc-tor of the Friends in Need Food Bank.
Gordy Robson was mayor from 2005 to 2008. He also successfully challenged in court the legality of a 2002 P-3 project that led to the building of the municipal buildings in the downtown.
“It’s going to be an interesting time on council because there’s going to be massive changes, including on staff,” Gordy said.
“It’s going to be a time when you can actually have some influence. So there is some temptation.”
He wants to improve downtown and transit, limit tax increases, work to get schools built.
“We have to have a direct express bus [to Coquitlam] right now. We have to have somebody who’s bar-gaining on our behalf.”
He said when he was mayor, there was a commitment to start a Rapid-
Bus service connecting Maple Ridge to Coquitlam, where the new Ever-green SkyTrain line is to open in two years.
According to the TransLink’s Mayor’s Council transportation vi-
sion, released in June, Maple Ridge could, at some point, get a Rapid-Bus line from the downtown to Co-quitlam. Or, instead, the RapidBus line could cross Golden Ears Bridge to Langley.
Good transit connections will al-low downtown residents to have good-paying jobs, Robson said.
Currently, despite dozens of new condos, he thinks downtown needs a better mix of income levels instead of encouraging low-rent walk-ups.
“What we’re doing downtown is building another Whalley.”
Robson also says this spring’s Supreme Court decision question-ing Metro Vancouver’s ability to plan regionally gives Maple Ridge a chance to pressure for more say in how it grows. Perhaps Maple Ridge could join the Fraser Valley Region-al District, he added.
When Robson was mayor, Maple Ridge also successfully pushed for an easier amending formula, allow-ing it to change Metro Vancouver’s urban boundary to allow more sub-divisions.
Robson said he could work with whoever is elected as mayor of Ma-ple Ridge, mentioning Mike Mor-den, Nicole Read and Ernie Daykin.
Robson also thinks there are prob-lems in the bylaws department and “how we’re doing on the streets.”
Maple Ridge’s top economic devel-opment officer Sandy Blue shouldn’t run for council in another city, and should pick one position or the oth-er, says Coun. Corisa Bell.
“I don’t how she can possibly have the time,” to do both, Bell said Mon-day.
She was commenting after learn-ing last week that Blue is running for council where she resides, in the City of Abbotsford.
“To support her taking time away from her position currently, I don’t see how that would be a benefit to
Maple Ridge.”Bell said council knew
nothing about Blue’s deci-sion.
“It was not discussed with us, whatsoever,” Bell added.
“I just really feel the pub-lic needs to know. They’re the ones who are paying the bills. They’re paying her salary and benefits. I just want to Maple Ridge is get-ting what they’re paying for.”
Bell hopes Blue resigns from her Maple Ridge position, if elected in Abbotsford.
Blue, however, intends to do both and doesn’t see a conflict between her job as economic strategist for Maple Ridge and city councillor for Abbotsford.
She pointed out that often one
region or city can offer economic development at-tractions that are not du-plicated in another area or city, so there’s less chance of direct competition.
Blue is part of the Ab-botsfordFirst slate, which has three values: leader-ship, accountability and respect.
It wants Abbotsford to be “a desired location for businesses and families alike.”
Blue says economic development initiatives followed by Maple Ridge aren’t even being considered in Ab-botsford, which has an airport, bor-der crossing, and university.
“Given what I do and the experi-ence I have gained from this job, and I look at it from the place I live, and
there are so many things that are not even on the agenda. I think that’s too bad.”
She would keep her Maple Ridge job “for another couple of years.”
As Maple Ridge’s manager of stra-tegic economic initiatives, Blue made $107,676 in 2013. If she’s elected as one of eight councillors in Abbots-ford, she’ll make about $37,500 a year.
A Maple Ridge councillor makes $42,500, even though Abbotsford has a larger population – 139,000 compared to Maple Ridge’s popula-tion of 77,000.
Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin doesn’t see a conflict if Blue is elected.
“People may perceive it to be one. She’s done a great job promoting the North Fraser, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and Mission. All three of
us have benefited from her efforts,” he added.
“I don’t doubt Sandy’s ability to do the work. We get many hours of ef-fort far beyond what she’s compen-sated for.”
Daykin said people have right to a life outside their normal job, to rep-resent their citizens.
“If successful, there may be other decisions that have to be made. That comes into play … the day after the election.”
Daykin won’t ask her to resign, and said anyone looking for economic advice in Abbotsford likely wouldn’t even talk to city councillors.
The mayor only learned of Blue’s decision after receiving a press re-lease issued last week.
He doesn’t think Blue had a duty to tell council.

Former municipal poli-tician Craig Speirs wants to get back on Maple Ridge council and says he can save taxpayers money by changing the way it grows.
“I believe, if we want lower taxes, we have to create a more efficient community. To do that, we need to turn our back on [suburban] sprawl and remove all sprawl bombs built into our planning documents.”
Speirs, if elected, would push for a review of Ma-ple Ridge’s policies, “to allow us to grow without increasing taxes.”
He added: “Suburban sprawl creates a structur-al tax deficit that forces us to raise taxes or slash services.”
Speirs served four terms on council, from 1999 to 2011, before los-ing the last election.
He also ran federally
for the NDP in the 2011 election and is a retired liquor control board em-ployee.
“For me, I’m not done at all,” he said Tuesday.
Designing an efficient community is a “burning issue for me.”
If he doesn’t win one of six council seats in the Nov. 15 election, he said he still wants to follow those goals.
Speirs said there are two kinds of growth – growth that helps a com-munity and growth that hurts a community.
He wants to ensure the Silver Valley and Albion area plans are unfolding as intended and says they have to be completed to allow more people in or-der to pay for the costs of the roads and sewers.
However, the long-term plan of allowing suburban growth on Thornhill, east of 248th Street, once the city’s population hits 100,000, should be abandoned.
“I would take the Thornhill urban reserve out of the official com-munity plan. I think it’s ridiculous to have it in
there. It’s nothing but a sop to gather votes, I guess.”
Speirs, while on council previously, opposed de-velopment of the Albion flats commercial area along 105th Avenue at Lougheed Highway.
“The last thing Maple Ridge needs is another strip mall on farmland.”
Maple Ridge has been in lengthy negotiations with Smart Centres over a land swap that would allow shopping mall de-velopment on the east side of 105th Avenue.
Instead, Speirs said a commercial area to serve Albion residents should go at Lougheed Highway and 240th Street.
Albion elementary could be converted to commercial, he said, with a new school built on 104th Avenue, away from the busy intersection.
“Work out a deal with the school board.”
Speirs said he isn’t run-ning as an NDP candi-date, nor with a group of other candidates, al-though that could hap-pen.
He’s supporting in-
cumbent Mayor Ernie Daykin, at this point.
“I have some questions on growth that he needs to answer.”
He said that mayoralty candidate Nicole Read should have run for council to gain some ex-perience first.
“I think my kind of ex-perience is really needed, just because I know how to get along with people.”
Speirs also said that people tell him they miss his leadership on issues and that he believes in tough debate at the coun-cil table, with those divi-sions left within council chambers. Debate among council this past term became too personal, he added.
“For me, concentrating on things we agree on will save time and mon-ey, while moving our community forward.”
Speirs is also on the community heritage commission, the agricul-tural advisory commit-tee, and led the petition drive that unsuccessfully sought a province-wide referendum on legalizing marijuana.

It’s time Maple Ridge entered the 21st centu-ry, put the past behind it and moved towards m u n i c i p a l garbage col-lection, says a council candi-date.
“I just see what’s hap-pening in Pitt Meadows and it’s great ex-ample of what I’d like to see h ap p e n i n g ,” said lifelong Maple Ridge resident Grant Sanderson, who’s taking a first attempt at getting elected to coun-cil on Nov. 15.
“What I see now is terrible. People are throwing their garbage in ditches, throwing it in McDonald’s parking lots. It’s crazy.”
Green waste and com-post is picked up weekly and garbage collected every two weeks in Pitt Meadows and Sand-erson said it would be worth the $300 extra yearly in taxes to have that in Maple Ridge.
He understands that some see no need for that, but says Maple Ridge is growing up.
“The community is
now 80,000 large and it needs to step forward in the province.”
Maple Ridge is now of the few that doesn’t have a single, municipal-wide garbage collection. Instead, residents con-tract with private haul-ers for garbage pickup.
Sanderson used to work at Pelton Refor-
estation tree nursery in northwest Ma-ple Ridge until it closed sev-eral years ago.
Since then it’s been tough for him to find work locally.
“I’m just to-tally discour-aged with the
lack of job opportuni-ties in Maple Ridge.”
The only major em-ployers are the school district, the municipal-ity and Ridge Meadows Hospital.
“There’s no industry whatsoever. There’s no shopping at all. I have to leave, drive, clog the roads even more.”
Sanderson now works for a landscaping com-pany in Langley and pays $120 a month in tolls for the Golden Ears Bridge to get to work.
“There needs to be more quality employ-ment and there needs to be more quality retail in Maple Ridge,” so people stay in the community, he added.

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Wednesday, October 1, 2014 -- 5
WHISTLER – The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities con-vention was a report commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for union-ized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.
When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elec-tions, discussions with surviving and in-coming municipal politicians will resume.
Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades. As local election turn-out has gone from bad to worse, munici-pal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.
Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly sur-vey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly. Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like “Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information
voters. During last week’s convention in Whis-
tler, I caught up to Finance Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors.
Is the province going to impose some kind of solution?
“There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied.
More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at the provincial level, as well.
Is this the first step to imposing a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?
“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.”
Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?
“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent, I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of coordi-nating efforts.”
NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates,
Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections.
Did he question Ernst and Young’s num-bers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he ques-tion their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No.
The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.
Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration.
This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.
So there’s the big question to be consid-ered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher
“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism.”Finance Minister Mike de Jong
Here’s a simple request for candidates seek-ing election in the upcoming school board and municipal elections: Only promise what you can deliver.
That might seem an obvious request. But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek.
Call it exuberance. Call it ignorance. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter and it disrespects the process.
For example, there are some fairly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do.
It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything.
Likewise, a promise by a school board candi-date to hire more teachers won’t happen with-out an explanation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come from. School districts (unlike the federal or provincial govern-ment, or even a city), cannot, by provincial law, run a deficit.
Which brings up the second point: Money.Rarely does a promise come without a cost, and
candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be.
A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will it cost to maintain those parks, and what im-pact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances?
A promise to cut taxes, or at least hold them at zero, must also include details on where the cuts in services will be made (or alternate revenue found) to accommodate that plan.
None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions to the problems communities face. But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or more particularly, pos-sible.
And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to en-sure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality.

6 -- Wednesday, October 1, 2014 -- THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com
Editor, The News:The recent attempt to turn
Tolmie Park into an off-leash park was shocking to say the least.
As a resident of Ham-mond for the past 13 years and living within a block of the park, I was saddened to see a beautiful park that is frequented daily by children and families handed over to a very small group of indi-viduals with an agenda.
The off-leash park idea has been tried in other areas of Maple Ridge, and as you aware, it has been a dismal failure.
The many children in our area use the park for play-ing ball and outdoor play, and when you segregate the park for the dogs and their owners you eliminated the local kids’ ability to use a ball diamond that was with-in the fenced off boundary. You also closed in the only section of flat, open ground that the kids play ball and soccer on.
How is this unobtrusive?
This poor planning was further compounded by the fact that the kids were on an extended break from school and now had no where to play during the day.
Hammond is growing daily, with many new young families residing here with young children.
I am a dog owner and we deal with pet ownership in a responsible manner. This does not require our own dog park, while forcing the local kids onto the streets to play.
The City of Maple Ridge would be doing the lo-cal community a service by putting in appropriate sidewalks so that pedestri-ans, including kids and dog owners, don’t have to walk down narrow streets with busy traffic and ditches on either side of the street.
Several years ago, dog waste bags were installed at a location in the park and ever since we, as nearby residents, have had to pick-up empty and full “doggie
bags” that are left around the park, in the ditches and on the edge of our proper-ties.
Now you propose to in-vite people and their pets to come to our area and crap in our park in the name of so-cializing their animals.
Who will be responsible for damages when a child is bitten as a result of these off–leash animals?
Is your recommendation that only dog owners enter these areas?
It is bad enough when I
witness dog owners walk-ing their dogs on a leash and they can barely hold onto them because the dogs are so big and aggressive.
How will these same indi-viduals deal with those ani-mals when they turn their aggression on the other dogs in the park?
Please leave our small, valuable park to the resi-dents living in the area and quit using Hammond as the dumping ground for the rest of Maple Ridge.
I dare you to try to situate a similar park in areas like Kanaka or Rock Ridge.
Those residents would not be accepting of this any more than we are and you would be quickly ending that venture.
You have asked for my in-put as a resident of the area and having spoken with many, many people in the area, I am not alone in my opposition to this poorly thought out trial.

Editor, The News:Re. Think before you vote municipally in November
(BC Views).We should not be surprised because columnist Tom Fletcher
has, in the past, shown that he is against unions and against social programs that help those struggling, and he is a great mouthpiece for all those science deniers who find the almighty dollar more important than the preservation of the animals and vegetables on this planet.
Now, in his recent rant, he has moved into the realm of racism by calling into question the legitimacy of a Coast Salish burial ground on an islet off of Salt Spring Island, defending a rich, “misunderstood” business man from Alberta who continues to deny the cultural significance of the burial ground. True to form, Mr. Fletcher has once again denied scientific expertise, blatantly excluding it.
“’Either [the landowner] is grossly misinformed, or it is an-other cynical attempt to trivialize and devalue the scientific and First Nation cultural significance of ancient human remains and burial cairns at Grace Islet to help build his house,” said Eric McLay, an archeologist.
Other than as a calculating shill for the oil industry, what qualifications does Mr. Fletcher have?
Surely, as a media outlet, objectivity and factual evidence is critical to legitimacy.

The World Society for the Protection of Ani-mals estimates the aver-age price of a gall blad-der from a wild bear at $235 in Canada and over $600 in the U.S.
But when processed and smuggled out of Canada to Asia, where it is purported in tradi-tional medicine to cure everything from diabe-tes to erectile dysfunc-tion, a gall bladder can fetch up to $45,000.
With bears getting ready to hibernate for the winter, Ambrose is asking residents of Ma-ple Ridge and Pitt Mead-ows to be careful about leaving out attractants such as garbage.
This year, Maple Ridge has had fewer calls about nuisance bears, but not because people are heed-ing calls to secure their garbage or pick fruit trees. The conservation service expects conflict calls to spike between October and November.
“Compared to last year, Maple Ridge has been a lot quieter. That
could be due to berry crops being plentiful,” Ambrose added.
In 2013, a dozen bears were shot in Maple Ridge after getting ac-customed to garbage and other attractants.
In May, residents wit-nessed a bear being shot on Tamarack Lane. The bear had been wander-ing the neighbourhood for months, eating trash.
The City of Maple Ridge has a Bear Aware program, which targets neighbourhoods that generate the most con-flict calls. The program aims to educate resi-dents and has been ef-fective in getting people to understand how to live in harmony with bears.
The city also has a by-law restricting when garbage can be put out, but Ambrose says with no scheduled municipal pickup, it’s difficult for conservation officers to police neighbourhoods or hand out fines.
“There’s garbage out-side every day of the week,” he added.

The men knew each other and one was “well-known” to police, said Splinter.
A woman, who lives in an adjacent apartment, heard a man yelling for help in the middle of the street and rushed out-side to find out what was
wrong.She said a nurse who
also lives in the area went to help the young man, who was in his mid-20s and covered in tattoos.
“She saw blood in his mouth and then he dropped,” said the wom-an, who asked to remain anonymous.
The Westgate Apart-ment next door and a second building on Laity
St. have been a hotbed of drug activity, according to police.
Ridge Meadows RCMP executed a search war-rant at the Westgate Apartments in Septem-ber 2013. One man was charged after police found a gun and an as-sortment of illegal drugs inside a suite.
“But this can hap-pen anywhere,” said the
woman, who has lived in the neighbourhood for 26 years.
“It’s just so disheart-ening because you live here.”
Police confirmed the man who was shot jumped into a pickup truck and tried to leave the scene. The truck was stopped by police across the highway.
Investigators believe
only one shot was fired during the fight. A police dog and a forensics team was brought in to assist Ridge Meadows RCMP.
“There is a great deal we don’t know about this. It is still emerging,” Splinter added.
No one on the street was caught in the cross-
fire, but police are con-cerned that a gun was used in public during the morning rush hour as children were head-ing to nearby Laity View elementary.
“There are certain people out there who are completely oblivious to everything going on
around them and they don’t care,” said Splinter.
Charge in stolen wire A man from Maple Ridge was
arrested last Wednesday on al-legations of stealing copper tele-phone cables.
Ridge Meadows RCMP re-ceived a call about a theft in prog-ress in 11300 block of Palmer Rolph Street around 8:30 a.m.
The 27-year-old was taken into custody a short distance away with help from the Lower Main-land Police’s Integrated Police Dog Services unit.
“Police have been actively in-vestigating a number of thefts in-volving telephone and cable wire in and around this area,” Cpl. Al-anna Dunlop said. “A number of crime reduction strategies were in place, and these provided Ridge
Meadows RCMP with sufficient evidence to have recommended theft and mischief charges ap-proved.”
Two other people, a 56-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman, were also arrested, but charges against them have not been for-warded at this time.
Johnathan Tattrie has since been charged with one count each of theft and mischief.
Tattrie appeared in Port Co-quitlam Provincial Court on Thursday, and has been remand-ed in custody.
Man with knife arrested
A 25-year-old man with a knife was arrested by police last Wednesday in Maple Ridge.
Ridge Meadows RCMP were called just after 7 a.m. by some-one who reported seeing a man holding a knife outside a bank on 224th Street.
“The citizen felt threatened and unsafe, so he walked back to his vehicle and called police,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.
Police found the man and lo-cated other weapons during a subsequent search.
“It’s really unknown why the man was carrying and displaying these weapons,” said Dunlop.
Police are recommending charges of possession of a weap-on dangerous to public peace, and possession of a prohibited weapon. The alleged weapons were seized, and the suspect will appear in court at a later date.

L o o k i n g B a c kBy Allison White
In ancient Greece and Rome, the marketplace was a
venue for merchants to sell their goods, a place to facilitate an exchange, where people would do their weekly, even monthly shopping in nearby towns.
The concept of “modern shopping” as we know today did not come into play until the 18th Century, as social mobility increased the number of people who had a disposable income, the market-place of the middle ages expanded into shopping centres.
Goods where mar-keted for individuals, as opposed to items solely for the household.
The change in fashion also allowed for the consumer to purchase for the appeal of the
garment, not just for the utility.
With the raise of the middle class, retail shops selling specific goods made the accep-tance of shopping hard to deny.
Specific streets and
districts in larger cities became devoted to retail.
Department stores soon followed, large window displays were used to entice patron-age. Inside the store it was divided into
multiple categories, to more easily target specific demographics. The areas of the store could be tiered from inexpensive to expen-sive. Many of the goods offered within the stores were in a constant state of change, which always kept the consumer wanting more.
While department stores were on the rise in larger cities, this was not beneficial to those removed from larger centres, in smaller towns, such as Maple Ridge.
This meant they had to rely on shopping through catalogues.
The Eaton’s and Sears catalogues were the primary examples of catalogue shopping; from household goods to fashion to everything in between, and while convenient to order through the mail, there still had to be a place for delivery.
Sinclair and Carr, which was built on the wharf of the Fraser River banks in 1870, was the general merchandise store, servicing custom-ers from across the river, as well as early settlers to the area.
In 1901, the title changed, and it became Charlton’s Store, which handled steamship and rail freight along with its post office and retail store in Port Haney.
History of local shopping
ContributedChatwin’s Store in Hammond was a typical general store, with a residence above and grocery and dry goods store below. It later became Allison and Cross.

Pitt Meadows Fire and Rescue is kicking off Fire Prevention Week with an open house on Saturday.
The annual event, at the fire hall on 122A Avenue, goes from noon to 3 p.m.
It will feature displays by the RCMP, B.C. Am-bulance Service, and Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue team.
There will also be kids’ zone activities and face painting, along with re-freshments and a visit
from Sparky the Fire Dog.
Children will have the opportunity to enter a draw to be fire chief for a day or win an iPad.
The open house marks the start of National Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5-11.
This year’s Fire Pre-vention Week campaign highlights the impor-tance of working smoke alarms and the difference they can make in a fire.
Roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep.
Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.
According to the latest NFPA research, work-ing smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half.
Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
It is advised to test smoke alarms every month.
• To learn more about smoke alarms, visit www.firepreventionweek.org.
Visit the Pitt Meadows Fire website at www.pit-tmeadowsfire.com for more contest details.
Smoke alarms key to campaign
Charlton’s Store wasn’t the only place in town to buy goods.
Fuller Watson General Store (in its first location on River Road), opened in 1924.
Along with selling household items, it was also the first store in the district to provide residents with gasoline.
By the 1960s, the general store had largely given way to special-ity stores scattered around the community. As parking concerns became more prominent in the 1970s, the “strip mall” was invented, where customers could park and do all their shopping at
once. This “one stop shopping” has taken on another meaning today, as “one click shopping”, where the customer doesn’t even need to leave their own home, everything can be done with the click on the keyboard, or a tap on a smartphone.
As technology changes the way consumers now shop, it also changes how individuals interact.
The digital technology has made for curated consumption: retailers now have more access to the consumer’s interests through social media, and are able to tailor to their specific needs.
Starting in October and
running until the New Year, the Maple Ridge Museum will take a closer look at the history of shopping in the exhibition “Modern Marketplace,” which will showcase artifacts that would have been sold in the first stores in the city, and illustrate through archival photographs how shopping is reflected in urban city planning.
Early editions of both the Eaton’s and Sears Roebuck cata-logues will also be on display.
Allison White is curator of the Maple
Ridge Museum.

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.

Showtime• Black Fly screened at VIFF yesterday. For more screenings, visit jason-bourque.ca. Jake (Dakota Daulby, Fall-ing Skies) and Noel (Mat-thew MacCaull, Vendetta) are estranged brothers haunted by a troubled past. In the years since their father died in a hunting accident and their mother committed suicide, they’ve lost touch with one another. After escaping from his abusive uncle, Jake seeks refuge with Noel who now lives with his girlfriend Paula (Christie Burke, Falling Skies) in the old family farmhouse. Lo-cated on an isolated island, it’s the perfect place to find solace and reconnect after years of separation. Or so Jake thinks…
• Sitting On The Edge of Marlene screen tonight, Wed. Oct. 1 at 6:30 p.m. at the Rio and Friday, Oct. 3 at 3:30 p.m. at International Village.While waiting for her father to get out of prison, clean-living 14-year-old Sammie (Paloma Kwiat-kowski) helps make ends meet by joining her pill-popping mother, Marlene (Suzanne Clément), in the family con business. Callum Keith Rennie is featured as Fast Freddy, Marlene’s cohort in pulling off lucra-tive grifts. This adaptation of the Billie Livingston novella (The Trouble with Marlene) takes viewers on a bittersweet, emotional journey that navigates either side of the law and morality, leading us through dysfunction, love and addiction towards a kind of deliverance for this compelling mother and daughter. The soundscape is dark and edgy, enhanc-ing the dizzying downward spiral of the story.
Dakota Daulby admits his first foray into acting was a tad selfish, not a lofty thespian
pursuit.“When I was young, I didn’t really
have many friends and was a bit of a loner. I went into the film industry thinking girls would like me and I’d become popular,” says Daulby, with a laugh.
That may he been his goal at 14, but almost six years later, Daulby is taking his craft seriously, with a focus that’s reaping a ton of success.
Since his first break in the award-winning short film Why Does God Hate Me?, Dolby has gone on to star several features including The Wood-carver, beside John Ratzenburger, and snagged a recurring role as a villian on the fourth season of Steven Spiel-berg’s sci-fi series Falling Skies.
This week, he is the only actor to feature in two films debuting at the Vancouver International Film Festival - Black Fly by director Jason Bourque and Sitting on the Edge of Marlene by Leo Award-winning director Ana Va-line.
The characters Daulby plays show his versatility as an actor.
As Jake in the taut thriller Black Fly, Daulby tried to embody a teen who has experienced everything at a young age.
“He is just 16 but has been through so much trauma and experienced so much of the world, he is like an open wound,” Daulby says.
Based on a true story, Black Fly tells the story of Jake and Noel to es-tranged brothers who reconnect after years apart.
In time, it’s filial loyalty versus con-ventional morality as Noel’s psycho-pathic tendencies propel them all into a nail-biting nightmare that calls into question the value of “the ties that bind.”
“Jake is trying to have a family that he never had,” explains Daulby.
“He is hoping to have that with his brother and his girlfriend. It’s naive but it’s his hope and dream. That’s the reason he does everything he does and that’s why he has such a hard
time going against his brother. He just wants that hope to become a reality.”
To get into character, Daulby had the help of his fellow actors - Noel, played by Matthew MacCaull and his on-screen girlfriend Paula, played by Christie Burke, who also features in Falling Skies.
The trio ran lines while scene were been set up and met everyday after filming ended.
“It was kind of cool to sit down with these actors and live in these charac-ters,” says Daulby. He also listened to classic rock from that era to get into a certain frame of mind.
“A lot of that rock is not so explosive - it’s more about finding love and be-ing loved so that was quite fitting for [Jake],” says Daulby.
For Sitting on the Edge of Marlene, Daulby needed to shed Jake’s experi-ences and turn into someone who was exactly the opposite.
He plays the good guy Drew who tried to help teenager Sammie Bell away from her life of crime and con artist mother.
“He is young and naive,” says Daul-by of Drew.
“His parents are extremely religious and he is extremely religious and he’s
been sheltered. He is going into it with the mentality that everything is flow-ers and rainbows. He learns a lot of about the world - that not everybody is saveable or wants to be saved.”
When placed side by side, Dolby can’t say which character he relates to more.
“That’s a funny question because
you get so involved with your char-acters - it’s like having two kids,” he adds.
“It’s hard to choose. I put so much energy and time and vulnerability into them that they become part of you. As an actor, I don’t try to play something else. I try to be myself but step into the circumstances of the character.”

Artist Roberta Combs leads a work-shop this weekend at the ACT.
Organized by the Garibaldi Art Club, the “Glass and Light” workshop will help artists prepare work to en-ter the 2015 Pastel Artists of Canada (PAC) International Show at the Fed-eration Gallery on Granville Island.
Combs uses vibrant color, extreme lighting, and dramatic composition to create the impact of her realistic sub-ject matter.
“I believe artists actually see things differently than most people. There is nothing as simple as just a face or only a leaf. It’s an image entangled in light, shape, texture, color ... and begs to be a captured moment,” she says.
Combs is a senior signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists and the Northwest Pastel Society; a master status pastellist in the Pastel
Society of America; a fellow status in the Canadian Institute of Portrait Art-ists; and a master signature artist in the Pastel Artists of Canada. Her work can be seen exhibited locally as well as in New York City, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Toronto.
The two-day pastel workshop will be held in the ACT in Maple Ridge. It costs $170. For more information, call Lyn Thomas at 604-462-8380.

Toto was surrendered to us after an investigation. He is a pure bred
American Eskimo. Anyone interested in adopting this breed should do their
research. Toto is very social and good with other dogs and cats. He
is excitable and can be jumpy so we are recommending a home with kids over 6 years. At this time Toto is being treated for Giardia (intestinal parasite)
so we are looking for a “foster to adopt” family until his treatment in

The author of a study that estimates rising fer-ry fares have seriously damaged the provincial economy is standing by his conclusions in the face of sharp criticism from Transportation Minister Todd Stone.
Peter Larose projected 31 million more passen-gers would have taken B.C. Ferries over the past 10 years had the province kept fare hikes to the rate of inflation.
He pegged the losses at $2.3 billion in economic activity and $610 mil-lion in taxes to various levels of government.
“I have extreme con-fidence in the results,” Larose said, adding they
are more likely an un-derestimate.
“I think it’s probably significantly higher.”
He spoke to a policy session at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week in Whistler after Stone is-sued a letter and took to the airwaves to con-demn the UBCM-spon-sored study.
“It is unfortunate that the analysis speculates on what might have been, rather than pro-viding any concrete so-lutions on how to take the coastal ferry system into the future in a cost effective and sustain-able way,” Stone said in a Sept. 19 letter to UB-CM’s president.
The minister said the study failed to properly consider various fac-tors, from the effects of the 2008-09 global recession to rising fuel
prices and demographic changes.
He said it was “irre-sponsible” and “unpro-ductive” for UBCM to release the “unsubstan-tiated and sensational” estimates.
Stone’s letter also said the analysis was flawed because it assumed all the money not spent due to reduced ferry travel went out of the province, instead of being spent in B.C. in other ways.
Larose sought to reas-sure UBCM delegates that his projection is correct and doesn’t mean the economic damage in coastal B.C. is being offset by gains in other parts of the province.
But Tofino Coun. Ray Thorogood questioned that logic, arguing Lower Mainland residents de-terred from a trip to Van-couver Island by high
fares might instead head east to the Okanagan.
“We’re not saying this is the be all and end all of all analysis,” said Campbell River Coun. Claire Moglove, who sits on the UBCM com-mittee that commis-sioned the work.
She said the aim is to do further work and engage the province in a real dialogue on stem-ming the decline in B.C. Ferries ridership.
“What we want from the provincial govern-ment is to sit down and start talking about solu-tions.”
Moglove added that UBCM decided to probe the impact of high fares because the province wouldn’t.
Current rate caps al-low for maximum in-creases of four per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2015.
