The John & Dave Logo

The John & Dave logo has been provided in a variety of colour formats and file types, which will be explained on the following pages.

The Logo Symbol

I have also taken the liberty of creating a folder with just the key graphic, with John & Dave cut out of it.

Using this, whether for letterhead, or just a watermark on a document, will increase brand recognition and create a more cohesive brand identity.

An example of its watermark use is seen in the bottom right corner of this page.

Just one week after the Albion Fairgrounds host-ed an event celebrating all things country, the

grounds will be the celebration point of all things Caribbean,

The annual Maple Ridge Caribbean Fest returns this weekend, but it won’t be in Memorial Peace Park, where people usually look for it.

Organizers have opted for the much bigger space that the Albion Fairgrounds provide.

The annual summer cele-bration is marking 15th year, and as the festival has grown, so too has the need for more space and a better ability to accommodate attendees

Development near the park such as Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness as well as the presence of the now defunct Target Store, ate up parking the fes-tival had used in the past.

The annual free event “became a square peg in a round hole,” said Deddy Geese, the

festival’s main entertainment organizer.

The need for a larger space is “a statement to the festival’s success,” Geese explained, adding, “There was no chance to grow the festival any fur-ther” at Memorial Peace Park.

“The Albion Fairgrounds has all the amenities and every-thing we need,” Geese added.

In general terms, he added, the response to the venue change has been “quite favourable,” particularly when it comes to resolving issues around parking.

“You do have people who don’t drive, but there are buses, and we’ve posted the schedule on our website, so that shouldn’t be a deterrent,” Geese said.

The tent city on Cliff Avenue cre-ates “huge pressure for the residents of Cliff Avenue,” which the City is well aware of, said Mayor Nicole Read.

The mayor made the comments during an interview on Global BC’s show Unfiltered, where she appeared with Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Fleugel.

“We are in regular contact with people on the street, and working with all of our resour-ces:” Read said.

Cliff Avenue has “always been a chal-lenge,” the mayor added. “This has been an area where people have camped before. They use the services of the Salvation Army Caring Place, which is just a stone’s throw away [from the camp.]”

These days, police are called to the camp “pretty frequently” Fleugel said.

“I would say the 22100 block of Cliff Avenue is the most heavily policed area in Maple Ridge.”

Working with BC Housing, the hope right now is to get a temporary shel-ter opened quickly, and “then we will be asking those on Cliff Avenue to move into the temporary shelter and we will not permit them to stay on Cliff Avenue any longer,” Read said.

Asked for a time frame on a tem-porary shelter, Read said “we’re hoping to be able to locate something or make some decisions about what that will look like in the next week.”

Blueberries were front and centre for a funding presenation.

The new Blueberry Festival at Country Fest was the backdrop for agriculture min-ister Norm Letnick to give a $50,000-grant to the Blueberry Council for a buy local pro-gram.

The funding will be used to introduce an advertising campaign with eye-catching

signs and displays, as well as in-store sampling for shop-pers, he said.

“When you buy fresh B.C. blueberries, you are sup-porting local agriculture and local farmers. The funding from the buy local program will help the BC Blueberry Council thrive in a highly competitive market and put dollars back in to the econ-omy,” Letnick said.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing was on hand for the presentation.

“The B.C. blueberry indus-try is booming,” he remarked.

B.C. berries feted at Fest

Country Fest’s oldest volunteer, 102-year-old Dorothy Rouch, took a

break from her duties and took a spin on the ferris wheel during the festival

(above). There were smiles aplenty throughout the the

weekend, even with the sometimes iffy weather

(below.) And (right) a full lineup of entertainment and acts kept guests of Country Fest entertained throughout

the weekend.

Thousands came to enjoy weekend fair.

ERIC [email protected]

A bit of rain on Friday and Sunday didn’t dampen the spirits of those who checked out Country Fest last weekend at the Albion Fairgrounds.

“From my point of view, it was excep-tional,” said Lorraine Bates, Country Fest manager.

Official attendance numbers aren’t tech-nically available Bates explained, because as the fair is free, the number of people who pass through the gates isn’t recorded.

Instead – as they have in other years – Country Fest officials use the number of cars they park as an

indication to the number of attendees.

Water: a special resource

The drought is not over, regardless of a good soaking for our plants on Friday and Sunday.

Metro Vancouver’s Stage Three watering restrictions remain in force, and restrictions of greater or lesser severity are also in effect in many parts of B.C., as we cope with one of

the longest dry spells in living memory.Metro Vancouver has been reminding everyone that two days of rain

does not break a drought.The lessons they are hammering home are mostly short term. If we

conserve water now, we’ll be fine through to November. That means sticking to the watering ban, taking shorter showers, and not washing the car for a few weeks.

That’s all relatively simple stuff, and the vast majority of residents will be able to stick with it.

The long-term phase could be more important.Global warming can’t be blamed for any one specific weather system,

but we know that around the world, temperatures are rising and weath-er becoming more extreme. We will likely see more dry summers to come, and with a growing population, we’ll need to plan ahead.

That could mean expanding the sources of our water, tapping into more reservoirs. After all, even with lower water levels, we have a much smaller population and a lot more lakes than California.

It should also mean looking at permanent ways to save water, wheth-er that’s offering more subsidies for water-efficient toilets and shower heads, to more money for repairing leaking water mains, to changing building codes.

We might also want to meter more water while we’re at it, including water that major industrial users take straight out of our aquifers. If, as we’re constantly told, we’re adding a million new residents, we need to think 25 or 50 years out into the future at a minimum. Saving water on a society-wide scale will cost a lot over time, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the costs of running dry.

She was “just screaming for a bunch of random Italians to hear.”

Regardless of the audience, Maple Ridge’s Madeline Merlo couldn’t stop hollering. She was on a bus ride from Tuscany to Rome with her grandfather, her older sister, and four of their cousins when her cellphone finally came into range of ser-vice. She was overjoyed.

Of course, it wasn’t the fact that she reconnected to the worldwide web that was such a big deal, but that the 21-year-old up-and-coming singer was able to retrieve her emails and subsequently learned she was in the running for a rising star award from the Canadian Country Music Association.

“I didn’t have any service, and I needed to find out… then I did, and I just started screaming… To actually be nominated is just crazy,” Madeline told The TIMES.

Prior to the trip, she knew she made the initial shortlist. But she was on pins

and needles much of the trip, waiting for word if she was a finalist.

That bus load of Italians all know she made the cut, and some are probably still ques-tion her sanity.

Now, TIMES readers can also share in her delight. And, they can join me in bestowing one of my virtual bouquets of roses on Madeline.

Win, lose, or draw – a nomination of this scale is a huge accomplishment, and to say Madeline’s still over-

the-moon-excited by the news would be a massive understatement.

“Being a new artist, working hard all year, and getting the validation that people see that… It’s so incredible to know people see potential in me,” she shared.

Earlier this year I told you how Madeline went overseas to say thanks to Canadian soldiers through song. She was among a handpicked team invited to perform for members of the Canadian military who

were serving in Italy and the Persian Gulf.She joked that two trips to Italy in less

than a year makes her sound like a jet-set-ter. But that’s not the case, she insisted. “Not at all.”

On this most recent trip, she was one of several grandchildren Grandpa wanted to take to Italy for a two-week family vaca-tion.

“He really wanted to take us and we were able to see where he grew up… it was such an amazing trip,” Madeline recounted, thrilled by the experience.

But now, back home in the Ridge for a few days at least, all of her attentions have been refocused. She’s promoting the release of her new single, Honey Jack, which came out last week. She’s also con-centrating on writing and recording songs for the release of her next album later this year. As well, she’s preparing for a tour of Eastern Canada in October with country stars Paul Brandt and Dean Brody. And now, she’s getting psyched up about the awards week in Nova Scotia.

For her local fans hoping to catch one of her shows before she becomes a star, the pickings are limited. She’s at SunFest

this weekend on the Island, she’s at the Harmony Arts Festival in West Vancouver on the holiday Monday, then at the PNE on Sept. 4. After that, she’s heading east.

Following some rehearsal time for the upcoming tour, she’ll join Brandt and Brody in Halifax for the CCMAs.

Here’s wishing you a boat load of luck Madeline. May the fans see just how bright your star shines.

We grow ’em great hereMust be something in the water here.

Just last week, we told you about the talented singer and songwriter DaniElle Severinski of Pitt Meadows, who was in the running – but later was beat out – to sing with country great Keith Urban.

Now, we’re telling you about Madeline, who is in fact opening for Mr. Urban in Duncan this weekend.

We also told you last week about Drew and Jonathan Scott of Maple Ridge – the famous Property Brothers – who are up for an Emmy for one of their TV shows.

And don’t get me started on all our local athletic superstars who keep bringing home the bling.

Italians still undecided about Canadian singer’s sanity

Dear Editor,Enough is enough

[Business owner angry about tent city, July 16, Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows TIMES].

I am so sorry for the residents of Cliff Avenue and suggest the new, inexperienced mayor do the right thing.

I was in the pool store one afternoon and observed a male shoot up his needle no more than 20 feet from us, and then pass it to his girlfriend who threw it over the fence.

I recommend every-one stay out of that field behind them.

These are the type of people who are taking advantage of our com-munity.

Yet the mayor has used our valuable tax money to give these people garbage pickup, portable toilets, and regular police security.

I live in the rural area of Maple Ridge and

don’t get any of these services.

Wake up and smell the logic.

This is a federal and provincial responsib-ility.

Look at all the other communities in Canada – you allow a protest for a short while to voice their concerns, then you shut it down by all legal means.

Unless we change to a Totalitarian or Communist govern-ment, there will always be homeless people who refuse help, and others who suffer from mental illness.

Build it and they will come.

Having an established homeless camp will only invite more transi-ents to come to Maple Ridge.

Hello, Hastings and Main (skid row) will start to move out to Maple Ridge.

And this will increase the property crime as

the drug addicted will do whatever they can to maintain their addic-tion.

Our police resources are being tasked to deal with a multitude of complaints of the homeless camp instead of providing proper police services to the taxpayers.

Their protest should be at MLA and MP offices as well as the social services offices.

I would suggest we all chip in some money to pay for their trans-portation to move the camp in front of the mayor’s house.

Hello city council, why are we not seeing this in West Van, North Van, Richmond, or Langley?

The residents of Cliff Avenue should not have to pay property taxes for as long as the City allows this illegal occupation.

Should they be allowed to set up in the

middle of the Lougheed Highway or in front of the police office?

And for all the sym-pathetic residents of our community who disagree with me, I encourage you to then adopt a homeless per-son and bring them to your home to help them.

Offer to let them camp on your front lawn, or go down and volunteer to convince them to seek help.

Enough is enough, time to shut down it down.

Our mayor and City Council are letting us down and our tax money is only being used to create a new Hastings and Main.

Michell Smith, Maple Ridge

Time to shut Cliff Avenue’s Tent City down

Gov’t plays games with public trustDear Editor,

In 1991, the people of British Columbia threw out the Socred govern-ment for playing games with the public trust.

In 2001, they threw out the NDP govern-ment for playing games with the public trust.

About three years ago, eight pharmaceut-ical researchers were fired by the Liberal government and falsely told they were under investigation by the RCMP for alleged crim-inal data breach.

The RCMP have stat-ed that no investigation was either conducted or requested and the gov-ernment has apologized to the researchers, but not before one of them committed suicide, unable to handle the stress of a fictitious investigation.

I would like to know why the RCMP has not charged the government of British Columbia with either public mis-chief or criminal negli-gence causing suicide.

If the government is stressing someone to the point of suicide, doesn’t that constitute playing games with the public trust, and would someone please advise the people of British Columbia what does?

Nigel Tucker, Maple Ridge

Dear Editor, We live in a time when we get

plenty of bad news.Well, I have good news :We had some issues with our car,

but as our car sat with the hood popped at the Petro Canada, at least six people wanted to make sure we were okay.

A guy pulling a beautiful boat went out of his way and tried to jump start us, a young couple had to walk over and make sure I was okay, they asked if I needed anything while I waited for my hubby to return from Lordco, and some other guys asked

my hubby if he needed help when he was installing the new battery, and a welder let him use a much needed tool.

So in a moment of need, our com-munity offered to lend several help-ing hands, on a very, very hot and humid day.

I’m grateful for each one of them.Sometimes I read that our town

is falling apart, and even I question why I stay sometimes, but there is an abundance of kindness in our com-munity, and we need to focus on the good around us.

A ‘rewarding’ project awaits volunteers.

A unique oppor-tunity to pay tribute to those who are no longer with us is around the corner.

From 9 to 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 6, the Maple Ridge Historical Society wel-comes volunteers to participate in what it dubs as a “rewarding” project: preserving headstones at the Maple Ridge Cemetery.

The cemetery at Dewdney Trunk Road and 214th Street was established in 1878 on land donated by pion-eers George Howison and William Nelson.

The cemetery’s heritage value lies in its association with prominent Maple Ridge settlers, both as its developers and as their final resting place.

Many of the older headstones no longer have any one to care for them; therefore volunteers are needed to help preserve the community’s roots.

Email [email protected] to register or for more details.

HERITAGE

Graves cleanup slated

From 7,000 square feet, to 20,000 square feet: The mantra “bigger and better” can certainly be

applied to the new Mark’s in Maple Ridge, which is opening this weekend.

The July 31 opening is being billed as a soft opening, with a four-day grand opening event set to take place Aug. 14 to 16, including a ribbon cutting by the mayor on Aug. 11.

As staff prepares to show off their new digs, Mark’s owner Jeremy Bekar, said things are certainly busy right now at the 20758 Lougheed Hwy. location.

“We’ve shut down the other store and truck after truck has come in,” he said.

“There’s a few final things like signs being put up, the phone line are being put in, so yeah, all the fun stuff.”

The grand opening is also about community spirit.

“We always include local charities and groups with

events like this,” he explained. “We’ll supply all the hot

dogs, Tim Hortons coffee, all of that stuff, but the community group gets to keep all the dona-tions, so it helps out different charities.”

And for the grand open-ing, it’s the Maple Ridge Community Foundation that is scheduled to handle grilling and beverage operations.

The opening will also feature some pretty sweet in-store spe-cials.

“We’re going to have some huge door-crasher deals as part of the event,” said Bekar.

A floral celebration

This past weekend, Westgate Flower Garden marked 15 years in the

community with a special celebration at Haney House Museum on Sunday.

Along with tea and scones served, complimentary work-shops for children of all ages took place throughout the day as well.

The event also featured live musical performances, as more than 100 people checked out the day’s festivities.

Congratulations to Westgate.

Mark’s gets set to open doors

Staff at the new Mark’s in Maple Ridge are ready to open their doors and excited to show people their new digs.

Summer Road Work.Summer road work projects are getting underway for the season. The planned work is to start the week of July 27, 2015 and finish the week of September 21, 2015. The contractor will endeavor to minimize any disturbances to area residents, and residents will be notified ahead of time by the contractor when they plan to start in their area. Watch for signs and contractor’s traffic control personnel. Call the City’s engineering department with any questions at 604.465.2426.Utilities projects continue throughout the summer in various areas of Pitt Meadows as well until August 24.

Transportation Referendum.A short survey on transportation in Pitt Meadows was available after the Transportation Forum on June 17. The questions asked respondents’ opinions on implementing a 30km speed limit in all residential areas, willingness to pay higher taxes for grade separation at the railroad tracks on Harris Road, and feedback on how to curtail speeding in the city. Of the 150 responses, the first two questions were divided between yes and no. Feedback responses on speeding ranged from speed bumps to increased enforcement. The survey was available on our website and hard copies were available at City Hall.

Culture Days.This year’s Culture Days weekend is taking place September 25, 26 & 27. Artists, arts organizations, heritage organizations, and cultural groups are invited to join Canada’s largest public participation campaign undertaken by the arts and cultural community. Registration for Culture Days is possible until mid-September, but to be included in the provincial publicity campaign, activities must be registered before July 31, 2015.

Go Green Due to the hot, dry weather with very little rainfall this summer, our water reservoir levels have reduced considerably compared to past years. Stricter water restrictions have been put into place to conserve the water supply in the region and lawn watering is currently prohibited. Let your lawn go brown, it won’t die, it will simply go dormant and will grow healthy again next summer.

Stage 3 Water Restrictions in EffectMetro Vancouver has initiated Stage 3 Water Restrictions for the region as of July 20, 2015. The hot, dry weather with very little rainfall, and high water use during these conditions has reduced our water reservoir levels considerably compared to past years. Working together to reduce water consumption will help conserve

our water supply to last during the summer months.

Under Stage 3 restrictions, lawn sprinkling is prohibited, as well as private pressure washing, washing of driveways, sidewalks and parkades for aesthetic purposes, washing of all cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats and other recreational vehicles (except for windows, lights and license plates), and filling, refilling or topping up of private swimming pools, hot tubs and garden ponds. Sports playing fields (including sand-based) and school yard watering is permitted at the minimum levels required to maintain areas in useable condition. Metro Vancouver member municipalities enforce the lawn sprinkling regulations with fines ranging up to $250 per violation. For more information about what’s restricted under Stage 3, visit our website at www.pittmeadows.bc.ca/waterrestrictions.

Council Working For You. Council has been busy with several initiatives recently, including: • Mayor and Council attended this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Pitt Meadows with hundreds of residents.• T he Citizen’s Committee on Open Government report was presented to Council on July 21, containing 23 recommendations for opengovernment practices. The report is available on the City’s website at pittmeadows.bc.ca.• After the transportation referendum results came in with a “no” result, Mayor Becker made a motion at the Metro Vancouver Mayor’s Council to request a report on alternate forms of governance for transit in the metro Vancouver area.• Pitt Meadows resident and Korean War veteran Warren Byrnell visited Council to present framed documents acknowledging the Canadian effort in the Korean War.

Hotel reunion: The old Maple Ridge Hotel – best know as The Ridge – closed in 2007 and was demolished in 2009. But a couple hundred of its faithful patrons came

together during a recent hotel reunion, sharing a day full of music and camaraderie at the Army, Navy and Air

Force Unit on North Avenue. Among those in attendance was former hotel owner Marvin Owen (above left), local

musicians (above) Lorne Trow (a.k.a. The Birdman), Kathryn Baird, and James Thorhaug, as well as Rick

Mearns (above right). Also part of the festivities (below) was bartender Bill Delorme.

TIMESTravellers:

Maple Ridge residents Lucille Desjardins and Diane Crittenden brought an edition of their hometown newspaper, The TIMES, along with them to Cuba. They visited Havana and enjoyed the old cars, hospitality of the local residents, beautiful white sandy beaches, and warm emerald blue waters. They even picked up some Spanish lingo along the way.

English make strong showing at the fair

The English have invaded!They’ve invaded Maple Ridge, and in par-

ticular this past weekend’s Country Fest.And “they,” being two unrelated travellers

in town to visit family, both deciding to take part in the home, arts, and garden competi-tion of the annual agricultural fair.

Bill Wood has travelled all the way from Hayling Island in the Hampshire area of England to visit his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren in Maple Ridge.

In the days leading up to the fair, the wood-worker showed some of his English prowess by produced a child-sized lawn chair – made from recycled wood – that earned him a first place ribbon this past weekend.

“The time and effort put into making the project a success can be shown through the rosette and first-place ribbon presented to Bill,” said Country Fest manager Lorraine Bates.

Wood is already planning to return next year, and once again plans to compete in the annual celebration – although he wouldn’t divulge any of his ideas, just yet.

Like Wood, Jaqueline Neats also walked away from the local fair with a specially inscribed rosette recognizing her international status.

Neats came from Manchester to visit family, and ended up showing off her talents in the kitchen.

She picked, washed, and was taught how to can cherry jam.

“This was a whole new experience for her,” Bates said. “Something she had never experi-enced in her 72 years… she was pleasantly surprised when she won first place at the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Country Fest for her efforts in her class.”

Neats said she’s happy to return home with her rosette, but more importantly her new found skills at making jam.

Jaqueline Neats and Bill Wood, both visiting from England, entered and won at the home, arts, and garden exhibitions at the Country Fest.

For the seventh year in a row, a plethora of local per-formers took to the stage at Country Fest, during Ridge Meadows Got Talent (RMGT).

“We’ve received fantastic response,” said Phil Ransom, RMGT organiz-er. “Everybody that was involved, from the volun-teers to the performers, and those in the audience, every-body loved it. It was a great show, everybody had a lot

of fun, and that’s the whole point of it.”

And it wasn’t just singers who took the stage this year, Ransom said.

“We had two unicyclists in there, including Deja Arnold,

who came second place in the youth category.” He pushed this year to get more diversity in the talent show, “so it’s more

than just a singing competi-tion,” he said, noting there was also a dancer.

A total of 17 performers took the stage this year.> More: mrtimes.com, search ‘talent’

Andrew Cowie of the Haney Neptunes flew to the finish at the Abbotsford swim meet this past weekend.

The swim club tunes up its skills before regionals.

COLE [email protected]

Members of the Haney Neptunes are back in the pool this week, training hard after surviving wind, rain, and thunder at their

final regular swim meet of the summer season this past weekend in Abbotsford.

The team is gearing up for regional championships in early August, which is the qualifying meet for prov-incial championships two weeks later.

Strong results from a num-ber of Neptunes this past weekend suggest that Haney might be in line to make history at this year’s regional championships.

Competing against other clubs in the Fraser Valley – Mission, Langley, Abbotsford, Aggasiz and Chillliwack – the Neptunes haven’t won the overall points title at the regional meet in over a decade.

Unlike previous years, the Neptunes seem to boast strong swimmers across a number of divisions, in both the boys and the girls events.

Particularly impressive finishes from Div. 1 swim-

mers Laina Hyland (first in the 50m freestyle, 100m IM, and 50m fly, and second in 100m freestyle) and Ewen Patrick (first in the 50m free-style, 100m IM, 50m breast-stroke, and 100m freestyle) helped the Neptunes claim second overall in total points at the Abbotsford meet.

A full list of results can be found on the Neptunes web-site, by following this link: http://neptunes.squarespace.com/meet-results/.

Team Canada picks local

A Maple Ridge polo player is the youngest Canadian in the pool at world championships.

COLE [email protected]

It was only six years ago that Matt Halajian was ringing balls off of the win-dows at the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre during water polo practice, giving life-guards and patrons alike the impression his shot was going to break right through the glass.

The former Haney Neptune may have had a humble introduction to the sport, but as of last week, Halajian’s meteoric rise through the ranks of Canadian water polo culminated in his biggest achievement thus far – being named to the senior national team competing at the FINA world aquatic championships in Kazan, Russia.

The news followed the disappointment of narrowly missing out on being named to the team which represented Canada at the Pan American games earlier in July.

“I was hopeful – I really wanted to make the Pan Am team,” admitted the 20-year-old.

But Canada’s results at Pan American games were not as stellar as the team had hoped – and a loss in the semifinals meant the Canadians missed out on a rare oppor-tunity to qualify for the upcoming summer games in Brazil in 2016.

The response was to inject a little youth into the Canadian core, with the addition of a couple young players, including Halajian.

Two days before flying out to Russia, Halajian was told he made the team.
