the downtown core may be about to
change.

the corner lot on Lougheed Highway
at 226th Street, and the lot immedi-
ately to the north containing a car

Later this month, the company
could make an announcement about
a landing a second major tenant
that could serve as a spur to mall
renovations.
“We’re moving along. Hopefully,
it will come together. The first step
is getting this retailer secured and
then the renovations will take shape
around that,” Narland vice-presi-

what to do with the 20 acres it co-
owns along 105th Avenue, across
from Planet Ice.
And if they decide to sell, that will
complete their involvement in the
Maple Ridge development scene af-
ter abandoning a commercial/resi-
dential complex in the downtown a
few years ago.
“We haven’t been happy with Ma-
ple Ridge on a number of issues, but
it’s not particularly relevant to us
anymore as we’re no longer doing
business generally in Maple Ridge,”
Beaudin said Wednesday.
The district seems confused and
unclear about how or what it wants
to become, says Beaudin, who served
as president of the Downtown Maple
Ridge Business Improvement Asso-
ciation in 2008-2009.
The company now does most of its
development in Calgary.
In Maple Ridge, “Everything just
takes a lot longer than I expect,” Be-
audin said.
“I just don’t see things moving
ahead at sufficient velocity to actu-
ally get somewhere. That’s just the
experience I have seen.
“I don’t experience a lot getting
done.
“Other communities, I think are
still more progressive.”
He said the reason his company
backed out of the proposal for de-
veloping three acres on Selkirk Av-
enue three years ago was because of
a conflict between the official com-
munity plan and what the market
would support. The OCP called for
more expensive six-storey develop-

ment on that lot.
But the market couldn’t support
that at the time.
But he acknowledges the econom-
ic downtown accounted for much of
the malaise.
Still, it feels like a lot of feet be-
ing dragged and people don’t want
change and maybe council is re-
sponding to that.
“The people of Maple Ridge, may-
be they don’t want a downtown core.
Maybe they don’t want shopping
down at Albion. Maybe they don’t
want high-rise development. Maybe
they don’t want progress.”
Maybe people just want it to re-
main a bedroom community where
they leave their homes everyday
and drive to work, he said.
That’s not why he got involved in
the BIA. He thought Maple Ridge
wanted to grow and become more
substantial, but it’s simply not hap-
pening, he said.
But if Maple Ridge waits too long
before deciding what it wants, the
world passes by. Pitt Meadows could
pick up the slack and eventually the
downtown area could move to that
city, Beaudin said.
“Pitt Meadows seems to have a
better idea of what they want.”
While he hasn’t been happy with
Maple Ridge district hall, he said
other developers are, pointing out
a new condo on Lougheed Highway
and 228th Street.
Maybe it’s uncertainty that’s slow-
ing development, he added. “And
we were avoiding the uncertainty of
this community.”

THE NEWS/files
Decker Management owns 20 acres
in the Albion flats, including the
property where an abandoned house
was destroyed last Friday.
In June 2008, Beaudin gave his
ideas for a future downtown with
an animated presentation showing
a core area served by rapid transit
running along Selkirk Avenue.
Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin,
though, said Decker never filed an
downtown, but “never took it any
further,” and he would have loved
for them to do something with that
property.
Daykin said that buildings in the
downtown have to be a minimum
of three storeys high and when the
downtown area plan was being writ-
ten a few years ago, it stated that
high-rise development was 10 to 15
years away.
“I don’t think there’s a sense that
people don’t want us to grow. I think
it’s a sense of how we’re going to
grow.”
Daykin pointed out the district
does have a downtown plan and
range of incentives for building
there. He disagreed with Beaudin’s
claims that earlier plans for renovat-
ing Haney Place Mall were stifled by
the district.
That’s not accurate, Daykin said.
The mall did have a concept, but
there were a few reasons, such as at-
tracting tenants, about why it didn’t
go ahead.
“There was never an application.
We never scuttled anything.”
The mayor said the district has
made a commitment to the down-
town with the money it’s spent
about $80 million in the last several
years. “We’re willing to work with
you,” Daykin said.
“This market will be 22,000 [popu-
lation] in the next 10 to 15 years.”
A recent budget document says
Maple Ridge has a processing time
of between 120 and 210 days for a
building project to go from rezon-
ing, to getting a development per-
mit, subdivision approval and build-
ing permits. That compares to a low
of 90 days in Abbotsford to a high of
270 days in Vancouver.

Maple Ridge council gives final OK to moment of reflection

by Phi l M elnyc h u k
staff reporter
Maple Ridge council has given the final OK
for its “moment of reflection” to replace the
Christian prayers that have always started
council meetings on Tuesday evenings.
But it’s going to be up to each religious
group to call the municipality if they want to
get on the list and be able to offer a prayer,
thought or blessing to council on behalf of
their group.
Staff at district hall won’t be going through
the Yellow Pages and contacting the various
groups to make up a schedule.
Instead, each group that wants to offer a
presentation of up to two minutes will have
to e-mail or fax the district a week before it
wants to attend.
Once staff review an outline of what is in-
tended from that group, they’ll be pencilled
in.
Under the bylaw, there are no criteria, such
as belonging to a registered religious entity
or tax registration number that would affirm
whether it’s a formal group or not.
However, staff will be asking each pre-
senter to identify a faith community. If staff
refuse a group, it can appeal to council.
A member of the local Jehovah’s Wit-
nesses congregation said they don’t intend
on applying because they believe in keeping
church and state matters separate.
Council Tuesday voted 4-2 in favour of the
moment of reflection, with Couns. Cheryl
Ashlie and Michael Morden opposed.
Couns. Linda King, Judy Dueck, Craig
Speirs and Mayor Ernie Daykin were in fa-
vour.
Ashlie later wanted to know how staff
would decide what is acceptable and what
isn’t.
“We just shouldn’t be going down this
path.”
Originally, Coun. Linda King proposed
simply cancelling opening prayers outright
in an effort not to exclude any religious or
ethnic group. She then agreed to a moment
of reflection as a compromise step.
No other Lower Mainland municipality
starts its meetings with prayers.
Until now, the vast majority of prayers
have been given by members of the Ridge
Meadows Ministerial Association, mainly a
Protestant evangelical organization.
The new policy took effect as of Tuesday,
with youth pastor Andrew Eby of Corner-
stone Neighbourhood Church giving the final
opening prayers under the old procedure.

Missing the point

L
iberal leadership candidate Mike de Jong,
with support from counterpart George Ab-
bott, wants the province to look at lowering
the legal voting age to 16.
That means some Grade 10 students, who aren’t
even trusted to drive on their own yet – let alone
study for a test – would help elect the next govern-
ment.
It would give youth a greater voice, but the real in-
tent here is to generate greater voter turnout, which
hit a record low at 51 per cent in 2009. It wasn’t much
better in 2005, when it was 58 per cent. As far back
as 1983, it was 70 per cent.
Lowering the voting age from 18 by two years
could also change the focus of elections, from, say,
the HST, or infrastructure spending to tuition rates,
minimum wage, or the environment.
Certainly, issues discussed less in past elections
could gain prominence as candidates try to entice
younger voters. We could see social media play an
even greater role. Would we see new parties, dedi-
cated solely to issues affecting youth, sprout? Could
we see younger candidates – as young as 16?
Schools already discuss political issues during
election campaigns, and even host all-candidates
meetings. Students might take a greater interest in
them if they knew their vote counted for something.
But do we want political candidates pandering to
the most easily manipulated demographic of voters,
those who are too young to remember a party’s past
sins?
Lowering the voting age won’t guarantee a great-

er percentage of voter turnout. It would come at a
cost, as well.
Politicians would be better off examining why
voter participation is in decline, instead of blaming
a hockey playoff game.

Maybe they just aren’t as interesting.
Maybe voter turn-out has declined in recent years
because voters have no one worthy to vote for?
What voters in this province want is someone
who will take the best interests of British Columbia,
as a whole, to heart, not just the specific interests
of campaign contributors, be they labour unions or
big business, someone with the desire to make this
province a better place, not just guided by their own
ambitions.
If people aren’t interested in politics it is because
they have been ignored for so long they feel politics
just don’t matter anymore.
Lowering the voting age is a nice idea, but we
think Mr. de Jong is missing the point

Pickering toured Silver Val-
ley when the plan was being
written and was impressed
with its natural beauty and
views. And so far, develop-
ment is being driven by the
environment and topogra-
phy.
“That is the tale of Silver
Valley and that’s why it’s
evolving,” Goddard said.
The area is only 30 per cent
built out, with only about
3,600 of a projected 11,000
people that are expected by
2031.
So far, Blaney Hamlet, on
232nd Street, has seen most
of the development. River
Village, Forest and Horse
hamlets in other corners of
Silver Valley have seen less
building because of lack of
servicing.
Goddard pointed out the
area was inhabited previous-
ly and a staff report on the
topic notes that large resi-
dential lots have been there
for years. “It’s not like we’re
going into virgin forests.”
According to district staff,
the area will look different
than other suburbs, inten-
tionally so.

According the report, Silver Valley so far has produced:
• a variety of housing – single family, townhomes and street townhouses
(the latter is a form of attached housing which buyers own outright,
including the lot, saving the expense of belonging to a strata council and
strata fees);
• equestrian and multi-use trails are being expanded;
• wildfire development permit guidelines are being written to minimize
forest fire threats;
• parks and conservation lands are being acquired as developers build on
their land;
• local service bylaws are being implemented to pay for maintenance of
common areas;
• parkettes, rock outcroppings and views are being protected;
• minimal site grading and tree clearing helps stability on difficult terrain.

Fire destroys house for sale in Hammond

A Maple Ridge man
narrowly avoided being
the victim of a house fire
after he decided to sleep
in a trailer in his front
yard the night his home
burned to the ground.
The Maple Ridge fire
department was called
to the 20400-block of
Lorne Avenue in lower

“There was fibreglass
and waste every-

This is the 10th time
a port-a-potty has been
set on fire in recent
years, Jolley estimated.
“It’s stupid,” he said.
“These things are pret-

“It looks like it was

Jolley. “I don’t know if
there’s a connection
between the two fires,
other than it being the
same sort of behav-

Unfortunately, clean-
ing up after such fires
has become an all-too
common function of the
fire department.
“Historically, we’ve

‘Corporate greed war against middle class’
Rally from p14
Taking part in the rally were District of Maple
Ridge councillors Craig Spiers and Linda King,
as well as Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows NDP MLA
Michael Sather, and Surrey-Newton NDP MLA
Harry Bains.
Each spoke to a common theme, that of corpo-
rate greed waging war on the middle class.
“This is a national cause,” said Spiers. “[The
picketers] are carrying the can for workers
across the country.”
After 20 minutes of speeches, most of the
throng proceeded on a march past Maple Ridge
municipal hall, around the Memorial Peace
Park and down 224th Street, carrying signs,
chanting, and handing out pamphlets along the
way.
Representatives from Loblaw Companies Lim-
ited were observing the rally from afar.
However, they declined to comment.

THE NEWS/home&gardening
A wonderful life, remarkable woman
M
aple Ridge
recently lost
its oldest living
gardener, someone
who had been lovingly
tending the same patch
of earth her entire adult
life.
Marge Saunders was
97 years old. She had
outlived her family but
still had many friends
and neighbours who Gardening
looked out for her – peo- Mike Lascelle
ple who shovelled the
snow, took her shop-
ping and stopped by to talk local politics.
So whether she was out exploring with
Evelyn or planning next year’s vegetable
garden, she had a full life until the day she
died.
Marge passed away sitting in her favou-
rite chair by the front window, with a per-
fect view of her purple-berried Callicarpa
bush and an English holly she called ‘Mr.
Shirk’ – as in life, there was a cup of tea
and newspaper near at hand.
I heard many of her friends comment
that it was a peaceful way to go, and while I
agree with them entirely, I think the more
important point here is actually how she
lived her life, because Marge was, to say
the least, a remarkable woman.
“She had no car, so she simply
cycled from Haney to Vancouver,
won the race handily, then
biked home again.”
Let me take you back to 1937, when Marge
entered the annual bike race around Stanley
Park. She had no car, so she simply cycled
from Haney to Vancouver, won the race
handily, then biked home again.
That same year she was unable to find
work due to the Great Depression, so she
made a six-day bike trip on the old highway
to the Okanagan – where she picked apples
until November, then rode back.
During the Second World War, she served
as a radio operator in Prince Rupert. She
was also a decorated marksman and a
member of Canada’s 1972 Olympic team for
archery.

She explored much of our province on
a motorcycle (and at age 97, still had her
driver’s license), worked for Brown Broth-
ers Greenhouses for 20 years (1945-65) and
continued to grow some of the tastiest local
tomatoes right up until last summer.

More importantly, she was a virtual foun-
tain of local lore, and a very decent person,
with a profound sense of social justice.

out for her on a regular basis, rather I was

HOURS:
three times a year, usually during the holi-
day season. Our routine was a simple one – a
few days before Christmas I would bring her
a small tin of home baking (she loved my
daughter’s fig pastries), we would sit and
talk for several hours and before leaving I
would always pole prune some berried holly
from her tree to decorate both our homes.
On New Year’s Eve I would drop by with a
few poinsettias or paperwhites and wish her
a happy New Year. Beyond that, I would see
her occasionally at the nursery
One Christmas several years ago, I gave
her a small meteorite fragment as a gift. It
wasn’t expensive, but I thought it might be
something she would appreciate. When I
came calling the following New Year’s Eve,
she insisted that I stay for a while. As she
held the meteorite in her hand and looked
up at the night sky, she told me that it “stag-
gers the imagination” to hold something
that had travelled millions of miles through
the stars. And just at that moment I saw
the same sparkle in Marge’s eyes that I see
in my own daughters when they open a
much wished-for gift on Christmas morning.
Where others might have said (somewhat
sarcastically) ‘thanks for the rock,’ she, on
the other hand, perceived so much more.
To put it bluntly, Marge got it – she under-
stood that we live a wonderful life on this
great big beautiful world in an even more
spectacular universe, yet so few of us even
take a moment to glance up at the stars
as we walk from the car to the house each
night.
Marge may not have been a religious
person, but if there is an afterlife (and I
believe there is), then she’s probably busy
digging up a new garden, riding her bike as
fast as she can or off exploring to her heart’s
content.
And if our existence is truly only the days
we get to spend on this planet, then I’m quite
sure that Marge still left it with absolutely
no regrets.
Compared to her 97 years, our friendship
was the briefest of encounters – one which
left me much the richer. But I would be ly-
ing to you if I said that this holiday season
would be the same without her.
So if you don’t mind, I would like to say a
proper goodbye to our friend and neighbour:
Merry Christmas, Marge, wherever you are.
We’re missing you already.

Skapski and his Fraser Valley Bruins major
midget teammates were riding in just south

out of control and went off the highway, land-
ing on its side.
Skapski suffered the most serious injuries

So when he was cut by Kootenay, it was just

“He put so much pressure on himself,” says “It’s kind of surreal even now to

M
ackenzie Skapski had high hopes
when he went to the training camp
of the Kootenay Ice in August.
As a third-round bantam pick of the West-
ern Hockey League club in 2009, the 16-year-
old goaltender was a highly touted prospect.
Since getting cut, however, he’s turned the
disappointment around and the Ridge Mead-
ows Flames have been the beneficiary of his,
at times, spectacular play.
Although he’s a teenager, a few years away

broken nose and fractured orbital bone. He
had surgery to place a couple of plates in his
cheek and to remove a blood clot beside his
brain. When he was released from hospital,
his bruised face was so colourful it looked like
a relief map of Asia.
Now he just calls the accident “a bump in
the road.”
“Everybody faces them, everybody has
something they have to overcome,” says
Skapski’s stats aren’t stellar – six wins,
seven losses, a 3.92 goals against average and
a .902 save percentage – because of the slow
start. But he’s won his last four outings, in-
cluding an amazing 44-save performance in a
3-2 victory over the powerful Richmond Sock-
eyes last Friday. The next night, on the first
anniversary of the accident, he was named
the game’s third star after making 29 stops in
an 8-2 win at Squamish.
“My emotions were quite low,” Skapski says
Mackenzie Skapski, Flames goaltender
“I felt lost and confused letting in five goals
[in one game] down here and that was a de-
pressing feeling. You can’t take anybody at
this level lightly.
“I’m feeling confident right now, I’m in a
groove. I’m having fun right now.”
