The 1950s was the first time in history when youth culture beganto be celebrated en masse, with Maple Ridge residents recoveringfrom the shock of Second World War in safe, secure nuclear fam-ilies.
And rising from this much celebrated era was the music – rock’n’ roll – that changed the wayyouth partied.
This historical decade,already 60 years old, is thefocus of Haney House’sCanada Day celebration,which will tie into MapleRidge Museum’s focus onmusic in July.
But the museum is appeal-ing to Maple Ridge residentsto donate their artifacts fromthis iconic era along with theirstories to the museum to fill inthe gaps in their collection.
The museum has a lot ofartifacts up until the 1940s, but that’s when the col-lection gets dry, according to the museum’s curatorAllison White. She said she’s looking for items thatare from Maple Ridge, have a story to go with them,and are unique curiosities.
“People don’t think their stuff is history becausethey’re still alive,” White said, adding that “yester-day is history.”
The museum staff is hoping that Maple Ridge residents will startdonating items from the 1950s onward.
The best items for the museum collection are clothes and acces-sories – especially unique items.

A Korean War veteranvisited the country he helpedliberate six decades ago.by Sylver [email protected]
A man wearing a dark greenblazer with medals proudlypinned on his lapels wiped awaytears when he recounted thestory of a Canadian veteran whowanted his ashes to be buriednext to his brother who had diedduring the Korean War.
Warren Byrnell can’t recall thename of the vet, or the brother’sname, but last year the count atthe Canadian memorial in Koreawent from 378 –which it had beensince the 1950s– to 379.
“There was 378up until a year agountil one of theveterans of KoreanWar requestedthat his ashes beburied next to hisbrother,” he said,apologizing for therare show of emo-tion. Byrnell, whorecently returnedfrom a week-longtour of SouthKorea with his daughter KarenLight, was overwhelmed.
He learned about the memorialcount going up to 379 veteransat the time, but it didn’t resonatewith him until this trip, he said.
On the first day of the tourthe veterans were taken toObservation Post Dora andObservation Post Sangseung.
“We were advised not to makeany hand gestures, because theNorth Koreans could see us withbinoculars,” recalled Byrnell.
He told of how they travelledto Busan on the KTX (the “bullettrain”) where the United Nationsmemorial is, and how all theCommonwealth veterans laid awreath at the Canadian memor-ial.
The following day the veter-ans travelled to Gapyeong for aservice at the CommonwealthMemorial. They then passedthrough that site to reach theCanadian Memorial, which wasbuilt to recognize the Canadianswho stopped an invasion April21 to 24, 1951.
“At the end of that ceremonyKaren and I presented a letter to
the mayor from Pitt MeadowsMayor Deb Walters in recogni-tion of Gapyeong being our sistercity,” explained Byrnell.
“We ended that day at theCanadian Embassy for a recep-tion, which was very nice,” headded.
The next day Byrnell and theothers travelled to the NationalCemetery in Seoul.
They had an AshCeremony, which is whenpeople take a pinch of ashand put it into a tiny firepit in recognition of all thepeople who had lost theirlives.
Times have changed a lotsince the first time Byrnellwas in South Korea. Thiswas the third time Byrnell hasgone.
In 1952, during the war, therewas one bridge over the HanRiver which flows through Seoul.In November 1985 there were 13bridges and in April 2013 theywere working on the 31st bridge.
“The South Koreans haveadvanced more in 60 years than
we have in 125 years,” Byrnellsaid. “In 1985, they were 13th inthe world economically and in2013 they moved up to seventhand are a member of the G8,” hesaid.
“To personally witness theadvancement of South Korea hasmade and the reception they hadfor the commonwealth made me
feel extremely honoured,”Byrnell said.
None of his comradesfrom the Korean Warwere there, but there wasa trio of men who he hasmet since being a part ofthe Korean War VeteransAssociation: Frank Smith,from Coquitlam, DougFinney, from Ontario,
and Marvin Johnston, fromChilliwack.
“There weren’t any of thepeople that I served with,” hesaid. The Korean War beganJune 25, 1950. By the time theKorea Armistice Agreementwas signed on July 27, 1953,more than 26,000 Canadianshad served in Korea and 516
Canadians had lost their lives inservice.
Canada, plus 20 other coun-tries, went to the aid of SouthKorea and turned back thescourge of communism.
About 7,000 Canadians con-tinued to serve in the tense the-atre of operations between thesigning of the Armistice and theend of 1955, with some Canadiantroops remaining until 1957.
In 2013, the Governmentof Canada will mark the 60thanniversary of the Korean WarArmistice with events in bothKorea and Canada on the newlyestablished Korean War VeteransDay on July 27, in honour ofall Canadians who served inthe Korean War, and those whoserved on duties in Korea follow-ing the signing of the MilitaryArmistice Agreement that endedthe war, on July 27, 1953.
Senator Yonah Martin, con-ceived and authored Bill S-213,which passed both the Senateand House of Commons unani-mously, to make July 27 KoreanWar Veterans Day.

This young Korean man and kept saying “thank you for saving my country” repeatedly to Korean War veteran WarrenByrnell. He politely removed his hat and shook Byrnell’s hand over and over. Byrnell presented him with a Canadianpin and a City of Pitt Meadows pin and then he gave Byrnell a pin from his church. Warren Byrnell in his uniform (inset)proudly showed off his medals.

The Thompsons are avid recyclers from Pitt Meadows, who put out less than one bag of garbage every two weeks. They are: (back row) Tamara, 14, momSheryl, Christine, 18, and dad Andrew, and (front row) Keisha, eight, Brianna, 11, Kathy, 11, and Jamie, 17.
A Pitt Meadows family of eightis putting out less than one bagof garbage every two weeks.by Sylver [email protected]
The Thompsons held their first bigbarbecue of the year and it gener-ated almost no garbage.
“We had a barbecue of about 50people on the weekend and usedcompostable plates and recyc-lable cups and cutlery and we stillonly put out less than one bag ofgarbage,” said matriarch SherylThompson.
“You have to buy the kind thatcan be recycled,” she added.
The Thompsons, a family ofeight, are avid recyclers and havereduced their garbage to less thana bag a week, according to RebeccaVaughan, communications at City of
Pitt Meadows, who announced thatPitt Meadows is switching from oncea week to bi-weekly garbage pickup.
Mom and dad Andrew have sixkids under their roof – Christine, 18,Jamie, 17, Tamara, 14, Kathy, 11,Brianna, 11, and Keisha, eight – whoall love to recycle.
“The kids set uprecycling stations so itwas easy for everyoneto follow through,”explained Sheryl.
“We were tryingto have a no-garbagebarbecue and madeit hard for people toput anything in the garbage,” saidSheryl.
If their guests were looking tothrow something in the garbage thenthey would have to ask one of themwhere the garbage was, and manytimes it was something recyclable.
“What I know is this is a bigdeal for my kids. When this [recyc-
ling program] came out they werethrilled. They had no problem chan-ging their habits,” she explained,who added that they usually only fillone or two bags of recycling becausethey collect and return bottles as afundraiser for Scouts.
The Thompsons use clear leaf bagsbecause they wantthe garbage andrecycling collectorsto see what they arepicking up.
“And the clearbags are cheaperthan the blue bags,”she said.
Sometimes the collectors just lookat their house, smile, and shaketheir heads.
The City of Pitt Meadows is chan-ging to a bi-weekly garbage programon July 2. For more informationvisit: www.pittmeadows.bc.ca, clickon the bi-weekly garbage program,and download the pickup schedule.

Mounties in Maple Ridge are askingpeople, particularly women, to bevigilant when they go out.by Sylver [email protected]
Police are looking for a man whoattacked a woman at about 1 p.m. onTuesday, June 25.
A woman in her 20s was walking alongthe Anderson Creek Trail,which is located near the 13900block of 230th Street in SilverValley.
A man attacked the woman,knocking her to the ground. Thevictim fought back and the sus-pect fled, said Ridge MeadowsRCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.
“This is a very alarmingincident, and we will needthe assistance of the public,”Dunlop said.
“We are appealing to anyonewho saw a man running awayfrom this area to contact police as soon aspossible,” she added.
Due to the surprise nature of theattack, the victim is not able to providepolice with a description of her attacker.However, the victim caused some facialinjury to the suspect.
“Our victim sustained non-life threaten-ing injuries, and has sought medical atten-tion for these,” the corporal added.
Ridge Meadows RCMP are remindingeveryone, in particular women, of thisincident. They encourage people to bewary of their surroundings and to carry a
cellphone, and anything, such as a whis-tle, that can alert other people.
In the meantime this case is being inves-tigated by all members of the detachment,said Dunlop.
Anyone with information in regardsto a crime is asked to contact RidgeMeadows RCMP at 604-463-6251. Toremain anonymous call CrimeStoppers at1-800-222-8477.
Getaway bus bad choiceAn alleged botched robbery near the
Boulevard Casino might justprove that a bus isn’t necessar-ily the best getaway vehicle.
Mounties were called out tothe Coquitlam casino duringthe afternoon of June 13 afterreports of a man trying to robpatrons at the facility. The sus-pect approached his first victimas that person left the casino,but failed to get any money.
Police said he thenapproached and allegedlyrobbed a second victim.
Immediately after the allegedrobbery, the suspect was seen fleeing thescene by hopping on a bus.
The RCMP dispatch called out its AirOne helicopter, while contacting CoastMountain Bus to figure out which vehiclethe suspect was riding. Officers were ableto set up checkpoints before stopping thebus at Mary Hill Bypass and BroadwayStreet in PoCo. Mounties arrested a sus-pect and accomplice on the bus.
Travis Storteboom, a 25-year-old MapleRidge man, is facing two robbery charges.
He was expected to see a judge viavideo on June 27.

The annual fair will feature hundredsof exhibits that will be judged andawarded prizes.by Maria [email protected]
Country Fest is wel-coming submissionsof all things hand-made, homebaked,and handcrafted forthis year’s fair, set torun on July 27 and28.
The Home Arts & Gardening prize bookis now available on the fair’s website atwww.mrpmcountryfest.com, with rulesfor entering and lists of all the subcat-egories in 13 areas from arts and crafts topoultry.
The theme for the home arts and gar-dening exhibits this year is “Lil’ Bit ofCountry – Lil’ bit of Rock & Roll,” andspecial prizes will be awarded to exhib-itors with items that best represent acountry theme.
“This is your opportunity to displayyour creativity and your chance to winprizes for them,” said Lorraine Bates,general manager of Country Fest, whichis run by the Maple Ridge Pitt MeadowsAgricultural Association.
Some fairs are having a tough time gen-erating interest in the home arts, Batessaid, but Country Fest is being touted as
an example of how this section of a faircan work.
The home arts building is the “mostheritage part” of the fair, she added.
Part of the success of CountryFest’s home arts building isdue to communication betweenprevious exhibitors – at the endof the fair, exhibitors are toldwhat next year’s theme will beand email reminders are sentout throughout the year aboutthe upcoming show, Bates said.
But also, the success comesfrom dedicated fam-ilies who participateyear after year who
do home arts as family projects.“They do it with the fair in
mind,” Bates said. “It’s a familything – that’s what we’re tryingto rekindle.”
A few years ago, Country Festorganizers moved the homearts building into the curlingclub, but Bates said the feel-ing wasn’t the same – it didn’thave that “homey feeling” thatfairgoers have come to expect.
Bates pointed out that thou-sands of people visit the HomeArts & Gardening Building to see the sub-missions.
The prize book is available at the fair’swebsite, but exhibitors can also drop bythe office to fill out the entry forms.
The deadline for the entry form andpayment is July 15.

THEY CAN DO IT - SO CANYOU!Meet the Thompsons - a busy Pitt Meadows family of eight. Sincethey started separating their green waste and recycling from theirgarbage, they have reduced their household waste by over 50%!
Why are we doing this?Garbage is expensive.To dispose of one tonne of garbage, it costs over$100, compared to disposing one tonne of green waste, which costsroughly half as much! Reducing the frequency of expensive garbage pick-up and offering green waste and recycling pickup weekly helps containcosts and brings us closer to meeting the 70% waste diversion targets setfor municipalities by MetroVancouver.

Opinion
We are a week into summernow, and while you may beexpressing some healthy skepti-cism about the advent of the sea-son, I’d like to reassure you withYours Truly’s Signs of Summer:
1) The rain is warm: unlike thespring or fall varieties, summer’sprecipitation is tepid; and if you’reof a mind to sit out in the rain orwork or exercise outdoors, it canbe very pleasant to the touch, andladies, it’s good for your hair.
2) The grass, the lawn, thatannoying green stuff in your yardthat demands to be cut, visibly grows beforeyour eyes. You get down there and look, andyou can see those little blades stretching out forsun and rain. If you’re as enthusiastic about yardmaintenance as I am, your place is starting tolook like a jungle.
3) Slugs are everywhere, especially near thoseplaces where they might find food, such as mycompost pail. Drop a piece of potato or a leafof lettuce, and the slimy little buggers are on itin less time than it takes to… well, our slipperylittle friends aren’t known for their speed, justfor their disgusting leech-like appearance.
4) Everyone is getting their boat in the water,especially those folks in flood-prone areas whohave to rescue their cat off the roof of the trailerthat is floating down the street, or grandpa andgrandma who fell asleep on the porch afterlunch.
5) Convertibles are the order of the day whenthe sun makes its appearance, as aging boomers,desperately clinging to their youth, put the topdown, turn up the oldies on the radio, and try toimpress members of the opposite sex.
6) T and A does not mean temperature andatmospheric pressure; it is what the driver in#5 is looking for at this time of the year whenthe younger gals put on their summer uniform– denim shorts or mini-skirt and a tight top.
7) Festivals and other local celebratory events
usually involving the use of theBBQ: another ubiquitous sign ofsummer. Last weekend, Andrewand I went to two such functions,and at both there was a “BouncyCastle,” another summer fixtureand a great source of delight forchildren meeting the physicalrequirements who are willing torisk throwing up their hot dog.
8) Increased activity at the gymis a sure sign that hot weather isjust around the corner and youare faced with the daunting chal-lenge of squeezing your pallid,
pudgy frame into last year’s swim suit beforeyou hit the beach.
9) Besides the cutting of the grass, there areinnumerable other things to do about the house,and that is why we see normally sane men strap-ping on the tool belt and starting up one or morepower tools with which a healthy percentage ofus are bound to cause injury to ourselves andothers.
10) But first, having decided to repair thesundeck or build a shed for the lawnmower,we rush off to “The Builders” with all the otherDIYers while we pick out our lumber, plywood,nails, and paint and head off home, proud andfull of confidence in our ability, until such timeas we give up and call in a professional.
11) And not to be forgotten, our friend themosquito makes his appearance and sends us allinto a frenzy of buying repellant and citronellacandles in order to avoid the dreaded bird fluand those itchy little marks they leave behind inexchange for your blood.
12) The shortened hockey season is over,which means we can expect an influx of tooth-less mesomorphs speaking in hockey cliches onour golf courses and beaches. Don’t turn yourback – they may still be in crosschecking mode.
13) Linda and the Twins.14) Beer.Have a wonderful summer.

Our View
Best of historyis yet to come
On Canada Day, it’s traditional tospend at least some time looking backat how this country came to be. If yougo to a celebration and do not hear amention of A) Sir John A. Macdonald B)the War of 1812 C) the HBC or D) VimyRidge, you are at a very peculiar event.
Likewise, the accomplishments thathave become entrenched in Canadiansociety are likely to be celebrated –democracy, freedom of speech and reli-gion, pluralism and tolerance, universalhealth care, and so forth.
There is nothing wrong with lookingback at where we came from and appre-ciating where we are. However, on thisCanada Day, we urge everyone to spenda few minutes looking forward, andthinking about the future of Canada,not just the past. Whatkind of a Canada willwe have in 10 years, 20years, 50 years, a cen-tury?
Every politicianrepeats endlessly thatwe are working to leave this country tothe next generation, but what does thatmean? We encourage you not to simplythink about the future in terms of tra-gedies to avoid. Yes, we must considerthe economy, the environment, and theever-disruptive march of technology.But we should also think in terms thatverge on the utopian, from time to time.
How much better could we be tomor-row? How much better could we makeour little piece of the planet, throughactions both individual and collective?
What can we achieve if we put ourstrength behind optimistic ideas?
A glance at our history will showthat almost every good thing aboutour society was once considered anunworkable pipe dream. Hard work andpragmatism bridged the gap betweendreams and today’s solid realities.
The past is fixed and finite, thefuture is vast, unknowable, and couldbe full of wonders, if we are willing tocreate them.

Dear Editor,I want to take this opportunity to clarify
concerns regarding wheelchair fees in resi-dential care homes [$25 barrier anotherinsult, June 13 Opinion TIMES].
Anyone living in their own house orapartment pays for their own wheelchairs,canes, walkers, as well as a variety of otherpersonal use equipment. Despite what someMLAs have stated, similar rules apply forpeople living in publicly subsidized long-term residential care. This has been the casefor quite some time.
While the public health system covers thecost of medical care, residents of publiclysubsidized residential care homes who canafford to cover the cost of personal equip-ment and supplies do so. The introduction
of a wheelchair maintenance fee is consist-ent with the ministry policy on what feesare allowable in residential care homes.
No one will be denied the use of a wheel-chair if they cannot afford a maintenancefee. For more information on how apply forhardship, please visit: http://ow.ly/mcm3c
All fees collected will be used to maintainand replace the health authorities’ fleet ofwheelchairs. B.C. has one of the fairest pub-licly subsidized residential care systems inthe country, where client rates are entirelybased on a person’s income. The prov-ince does not include a person’s assets indetermining their residential care rate, andmakes sure that all residents have incomeavailable to pay for any basic comfort needsand charges.

Healthcare
Wheelchair charges part of policy
• It appears the only people who likehospital parking fees are the peoplewho get the money.
“As a volunteer at Hospice, I think parkingshould be free. So many times I’ve seenfamilies of the patients who just want tospend a few moments with their lovedones, only to return to their car to findan $80 ticket. First of all, it’s heartbreak-ing having a loved one in Hospice, andthen secondly, it’s a kick in the teeth tocome out and discover a ticket on yourwindshield! The little Impark elf waitsin the bushes for people who don’t payfor parking. He’s a nasty little man whoshows NO mercy! Plus, most of the timethere’s not enough parking!.”

Dear Editor,Good for Grover Telford,
to keep up the pressureParking boosts hospitalbudget, June 25, TIMES].
The whole parkingsituation at Ridge Meadows
Hospital is a great pain inthe neck for many patients/clients when requiring hos-pital care, especially whenone comes to the hospitalat 3 a.m. in a panic (whichoccurred with my case)
and then being faced witha stupid ticket-dispensingmachine which refuses toaccept credit cards.
It is enough for one totake a 9 iron to the thing.
No one enjoys bringing apatient to the hospital dur-ing the night. Furthermore,one does not expect to payfor parking at night time,and may not have the exactchange in their pocket.
Even daytime parkingfees, at approximately $3per hour, constitutes noth-ing but greed.
Reading your story, onealso gets the feeling thatway too many governmentorganisations – I guess youcall it layers – are involvedin managing this wholeparking mess.
Who is what and why?Who owns the property,anyway? And who is actual-ly in charge?
Excuses, excuses. If thehealth ministry is in chargeand makes the rules, then itcan also change the rules.
There are too manybureaucrats with their nosesin a situation which couldbe simplified. It’s as always,in today’s political practises.
Lance Felgnar, Pitt Meadows
Hospital parking
Stupid machine pain in neck
Hospital parking
Fee formula doesn’t add upDear Editor,
I’m sorry. I am misunderstanding something here. Bepatient and bear with me, please. I was educated in ourpublic school system.
Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma says that park-ing fees at the hospital are set by Lower Mainland ParkingServices, which is administered by Fraser Health.
Parking services look at all pay parking sites around andadjacent to the hospital, said Juma,and then the hospital parking fee isset slightly lower.
Here’s where the misunderstand-ing comes from.
If parking at the West CoastExpress station is $3 for the entireday, and the only other pay parkingis under the leisure centre and civicsquare, and that parking is free forthe first hour and then 75 cents perhour after that, how on earth doesLower Mainland Parking Services come up with parkingfees at the hospital of $3.50 for the first hour and then $3per hour after that, based on the criteria laid out above?
Like I said: public school education. Guess I didn’t learnmath very well.

Vandalism
Children disappointedDear Editor,
Start Smart Childcare Centre in downtownMaple Ridge was devastated to find thattheir bus had been vandalized on Tuesday,June 18. The morning staff showed up earlyto open the daycare, to find that damagewas done to the interior of the bus, the mir-rors were smashed, and the door broken.
The repairs will take approximately twoweeks, causing field trip cancellations. Thefield trips are important to the children, andit is hard for them to understand why theycan’t go. Not only are the staff and parentsdevastated, but the school-aged childrenare wondering why it happened, and whowould do that.Kelsey Fraser, Start Smart Childcare Centre Staff[Note: A fuller version of this letter is online

The maximum number of slotsallowed at Chances is now 200.by Maria [email protected]
Maple Ridge council approved a requestto increase the maximum number of slotmachines from 150 to 200 at a new gam-ing facility, Chances, opening in the fallon Lougheed Highway.
The BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC)appealed to Maple Ridge council toincrease the maximum number of slotmachines from the previous maximumof 150 at the facility currently under con-struction at Lougheed Highway and 227thStreet.
The initial request for 150 slotsmachines was made in 2008, pointed outLaura Piva-Babcock, a communicationsmanager with BCLC.
However, the current Haney Bingo Hallis “very popular” and “has proven thatthere is a market demand beyond theoriginal 150-slot machine cap set by theDistrict,” Piva-Babcock said.
Although council approved 200 slotmachines, the plan is to open with 175,and then BCLC will monitor demand.
There are no plans for table gamesat the new facility, and the maximumcapacity will currently allow 200 slotmachines, according to the BCLC spokes-person.
Chances, currently under construction,is expected to open in the fall.

Paper is an expense. It costsmoney to produce, store, file, anddestroy.
There are more efficient ways tomake documents portable and sharable.So, it’s no wonder that many compan-ies are abandoning paper altogether andmoving to a paperless office, but thereare legal issues to consider.
How do you go paperless?The answer seems simple: buy a scan-
ner.Whether you use Adobe Acrobat or an
enterprise document management systemwith a central server, you will have afunctioning system for scanning and man-aging electronic documents.
Practically speaking, even this basicsetup will allow you to work with elec-tronic documents.
Legally speaking, though, you may stillneed to keep some paper documents. But,wasn’t getting rid of the paper the goal tobegin with?
A key question to ask is whether yourpaperless office setup satisfies the strictrequirements of the provincial and federalgovernments. If you are governed by aprofessional organization, you should alsocheck to see if they have any require-ments.
The provincial and federal governments
each have different requirements for elec-tronic documents.
The rules vary and depend on the typeof document and its intended use.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)[http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tp/ic78-10r5/ic78-10r5-10e.pdf] requires thatdocument scanning systems comply withseveral national standards.
You must purchase these national stan-dards in order to find out what they are.One can only imagine what would hap-pen if a company scanned and shreddedits financial records, only to have theCRA determine in an audit that they arelegally insufficient.
Another key consideration is whetherthe electronic document will stand up incourt.
The courts’ acceptance of electronicdocuments is evolving. Any paperless-office system should be designed toensure that all electronic documents willbe admissible in court.
If you have an electronic contract thatyou want to enforce, you will want toensure that the court will find it to bereliable and admissible as evidence.
On top of this myriad of legal consider-ations, there are privacy issues.
As soon as a document becomes elec-tronic, it is susceptible to viruses andaccidental disclosure.
Proper procedures should be put inplace to minimize the risk of (and anyliability from) losing a phone or accident-ally emailing a document to the wrongperson.
Companies that have a paperless office,or are considering implementing one,should carefully consider whether thesystem is legally sufficient for their spe-cific purposes.

Dear Anne,When my tulip leaves
have turned yellow inJune, can I take the bulbsup and keep them in thehouse? Could I put them insand or sawdust and thenreplant them in the falland add some sand underthe bulb?
Oh, I have to tell youhow I saved my bulbs frombeing dug up by squirrels.I planted a garlic cloveabove. Not a single bulbwas dug up this year.
Heidi, via email
Yes, tulips can betaken up when theleaves have diedback and stored
inside absolutely dry. I’dchoose sand for storage,because it would repelmoisture better than saw-dust. Inside storage is themethod old-time gardenersalways used for tulips.
Some sand under thebulb should help drain-age in normal soil. Butthis may not suceed if youhave heavy clay becausethe holes can fill up withwater in long, days of hardrain.
Your idea for protectingtulip bulbs by plantinggarlic is so worth trying.I have immense problemswith squirrels. Besidesmunching on tulips andcrocuses, they sometimeseat my Christmas cactusduring long dry summers.Dear Anne,
We have severalblueberry bushes– all doing wellexcept one. Thewhite flowerslook fine earlyon. Then halfturn red andnever develop.Some berries dodevelop.
Gerda, via email
It sounds as ifberries startedto form but didn’t fill
out properly. At least onelooks as if it has turnedblack.
I believe your blueberrymay have mummy-berry.This is a very commonfungal disease in B.C.due to our rainy weather.Mummy-berry spores arespread by wind and rain.
Have you noticed thatthe centre of the flowersproduces a little hard lumpwhich falls off? These maybe grey or black.
The best way to dealwith this is to gather upall these tiny ‘berries’ fromunder the bush after youharvest your good berries.Garbage these mummy-berries.
Then mulch around thisblueberry bush with aboutan inch and a half (fourcentimetres) of compostedbark mulch. This shouldseal in any spores whichare dormant in the toplayer of soil. These couldbe released next springduring windy, wet weatherto infest your bush again.
You might want to checkyour other bushes in casethey are getting startedwith mummy-berry aswell. Your problem bushcould have begun infectingthem – and they, in turn,could reinfect your vulner-able bush.Dear Anne,
The leaves on our tomatoplant are dark green andcurling up. What is ourproblem?
Gord Edgar, email
Curling leaves ontomatoes are a signof irregular watering.
It’s not a dire problem, but
could affect the size andquantity of your tomatoharvest. Sometimes thecurling leaf problem hap-pens at the same time assplit fruit.
The dark green colourmay show you’ve beenusing high-nitrogen fertil-izer. High nitrogen encour-ages, large, healthy leavesbut reduces the fruit har-vest.
If you’ve not been usinghigh-nitrogen fertilizer, thecause could be soil whichis already rich in nitrogen.For instance, people oftenuse high-nitrogen fertilizerto produce big harvests ofleafy crops such as lettuceor cabbage – and the effectcan linger for a while.

A team of volunteersfrom Burnett FellowshipChurch scattered for aone-day service blitz.by Roxanne [email protected]
Removing blackber-ries, disposing of garbage,weeding gardens, andscrubbing headstoneswere among the dutiesperformed by congregatesof the Burnett Fellowshipduring a recent Serve theCity day.
For the second year in arow, about two-thirds ofthe church’s 120-membercongregation reached outto help the communityand the response fromunsuspecting recipientswas heartwarming, saidassistant administratorAmber-Lee Zielke.
The team weeded gar-dens and planted flowersat the Baptist towers,removed bramble and gar-bage at McKenney Creek,collected garbage at LaityView Elementary andWestview Secondary, andcleaned up the groundsand specifically scrubbedthe headstones at theMaple Ridge Cemetery.
The latter efforts movedone visitor at the grave-yard. Olga Johnson wasespecially impressed withthe showing of youth.
“The Burnett Baptistyouth group was out in fullforce, cleaning the head-
stones of local people whohad passed on… So thereis hope for our youth, andMaple Ridge should knowit,” Johnson said.
“It’s rewarding to seethat you’re helping yourcommunity and it’s some-thing that we’re command-ed to do as Christians, toserve and to love others,”Zielke said.
“This is the second time
we did it,” she added, not-ing the idea was proposedby church staff last yearand was quickly adoptedby parishioners as a greatway to reach out to thecommunity.
In year one, 15 churchmembers went downtownVancouver. But this year’sefforts, held May 26, werefocused entirely on MapleRidge and they all met
back at the 123-Avenuechurch after for a barbe-cue.
“We’ll do this again,”Zielke added, noting thatthe church worked closelywith District of MapleRidge staff to determinewhat blackberry bushesand trees were unwantedand needed removing, andwhich area of the cemeteryneeded attention.
Community service
Kindness prompts team to clean headstones
Burnett Fellowship Church spent a day giving back to the community through their Serve the City day. Among theprojects, teams scrubbed headstones at Maple Ridge cemetery.

Penelope Above will play at Maple Ridge’s Canada Day celebrations thisMonday at Memorial Peace Park.
Maple Ridge’s musical brothers will headline localCanada Day celebrations.by Maria [email protected]
For the Johnson Brothers, Brett and Trent, playing infront of a Canada Day audience this Monday is like justplaying for family and friends.
The brothers will be the headliner at Maple Ridge’sJuly 1 celebrations in Memorial Peace Park, and Brettsaid they will be playing about 80 per cent of their own
music, with some well-known cover tunes, start-ing at 3 p.m.
“We make sure we coversongs people instantlyknow,” Brent said, addingthat their show will be a“fun, up-tempo countryrocking show.”
The Johnson Brotherswill be releasing theirsecond album this yearand, while it isn’t officiallynamed, it has been nick-named “summer sixpack,”because it contains six ori-ginal pieces.
The album will bereleased exclusively on iTunes later this summer.
When they released their first album, sales of hardcopies were slow, and Brent pointed out that albumsales aren’t where they used to be 10 to 20 years ago.
Brent described their music as upbeat and fun in thecontemporary country genre.
Having grown up in Maple Ridge, it feels like theyare with family when they perform in their formerhometown. But the experience of performing live is alsosomething they enjoy.
“[The best part is] getting up on stage and interactingwith the crowd,” Brett said, adding live entertainmentisn’t as popular as it used to be.
Brett said he’ll be happy to see people they know thathe hasn’t seen in a while and be able to play for them.
The Maple Ridge entertainment begins at 10 a.m.with Tequila Cowboy and continues at 10:40 a.m. withFabulous Feet and the Bergthorson Academy of MusicalArts.
At 11 a.m., the Roadrunners take to the stage, fol-lowed by zumba and the Ridge Meadows ChamberOrchestra. At noon, Tuegent will perform, breaking at12:30 p.m. for the official Canada Day ceremony andCentre Stage Dance performance.

The Pitt Meadows Lions are raffling offa five-minute shopping spree.

The last time the Pitt Meadows Lionsheld a five-minute shopping spree rafflewas 30 years ago at Overwaitea in Maple
Ridge when Charlie Perry was the store’smanager, said Pitt Meadows Lions Clubmember Tom Hardy.
The Lions club used to get more moneyin gaming grants which they then distrib-uted to various groups. But as gaminggrants are getting smaller, the group hasstarted fundraising again, something thathe is enjoying doing.
“It’s rejuvenating the club – getting ourface out in the public,” he said, instead,he added, of just sending out cheques.
And when they distribute money theyhave fundraised, it doesn’t have stringsattached to it.
“With our own money, we can give itaway to anyone we want,” Hardy said.
Tickets for the raffle will be on saleon Canada Day. In addition, the Lionswill be setting up hotdog sales by dona-tion throughout the summer at IGAMarketplace in Meadowvale ShoppingCentre where they also will be selling theraffle tickets.

The TIMES’ cartooncontributor creates digitalpaintings as a break from hiscommercial work.by Maria [email protected]
Patrique LaMontagne, who cre-ates the twice-weekly cartoons forThe TIMES editorial pages, has afew famous fans – Emilio Estevezand his father Martin Sheen.
LaMontagne is a digital painterand commercial illustrator inaddition to being a cartoonist,and recently created a digitalpainting of Sheen in his role asTom in the movie The Way.
Estevez wrote and directed themovie, and LaMontagne tagged
him on Twitter after making thedigital painting of Sheen.
LaMontagne didn’t expect areply and was surprised whenwithin hours Estevez emailed himand asked to buy a print.
A while later, his mother askedif she could buy the original– however, because it was a digit-al painting, “there really is nooriginal in the traditional sense,”LaMontagne explained in a blogpost about the painting.
However, he shipped off a printwith documentation saying it wasthe original print, after refining itfor a month.
LaMontagne said he makes agood living from his commercialwork and this painting was abreak.
“The whole point was to getaway from everything being
about money and marketing, ifonly for a moment,” he posted inhis blog.
When Estevez asked for a price,LaMontagne decided only tocharge the printing and shippingcosts.
LaMontagne has requesteda signed photo of Estevez andSheen with the photo, which heplans to reserve for a charity auc-tion. However, he plans to be“very picky” about the cause hechooses.
“I created this portrait for me,to remind myself why I paint, andsince I truly enjoyed working onit, that was enough,” LaMontagneblogged. “But to have it appreci-ated by [Sheen’s] family, was awonderful and unexpected bonus,not to mention a validation of myrecent choices.”

Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times Thursday, June 27, 2013 B3Seniors Resource Directory
Resource Directoryfor Seniors in
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows“Senior” is a general title that, for most folks,
is open to interpretation. For some, it’s earned byage – we leave the definition here to you.
For most, it’s a title of honour. Look aroundyou, and you’ll see the “seniors” who, eachaccording to their particular skills and abilities,built families, neighbourhoods, businesses…some literally built the buildings and roads andbridges and all the infrastructure that we take forgranted every day. And as they challenged them-selves with their everyday pursuits, they builtMaple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and the com-munities that surround us.
Seniors range from people who worked a life-time to achieve their goals to those who are stillworking to achieve those goals.
Just as our seniors all have something tooffer to their community, Maple Ridge and PittMeadows have a great deal to offer to our sen-iors. The Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Timesoffers this directory as a guide to those seniorsseeking information about the multitude of servi-ces available to them in their own community.
Some will be appreciative of the guides tohealth, legal, or support services, while otherswill find it a quick guide in an emergency orcrisis. Yet others will find a handy reference tosome recreational or leisure activities.
Our thanks to all those who made this direc-tory possible – and especially, our thanks to ourseniors.
