A former B.C. coroner is facing

charges in connection with the
improper examination of two mur-

Pitt Meadows.
Kenneth Glen Mattinson, 61, of
Chilliwack, was arrested by RCMP
on Tuesday and later released.
He is charged with two counts of
breach of trust and two counts of
offering an indignity to human re-

court on Oct. 21.

‘Not addicts, but buried treasure’
Recovery from front
Today, Maydanyk is clean, and
is employed full-time as a clinical
support worker at the Maple Ridge
Treatment Centre. He helps the
men who undergo MRTC’s 35-day
program drug addiction program
find housing upon completion. He
also lends an ear when they need
to talk.
As a former addict, he can offer
them something many counsellors
with a strictly clinical background
simply can’t.
“Jay is definitely a guy who
understands what they are go-
ing through,” says John Mogk,
MRTC’s clinical coordinator. “He
can show them that there is light
at the end of the tunnel.”
Maydanyk’s case is not unique.
In fact, eight staff members at the
drug treatment centre have over-
come drug and alcohol addiction.
“These are heroes of spirit,” says
Mogk. “They’ve found a way to
take a wounding experience and
turn it around in order to help.
“They’ve changed their own
struggles into a gift.”
Maydanyk started using heroin
at the age of 19. He wasn’t driven
to it by any childhood trauma or
abuse. Like so many kids that age,
he was just trying to fit in.
“There was a girl I was inter-
ested in at the time and she hung
out with a bunch of older guys,”
he says. “So, to get close to her, I
started hanging around them.”
They were fishermen, back when
being a fishermen meant you had
money. It was the 1970s, and the
salmon stocks had yet to collapse.
So flush with cash, they partied,
hard.
One night he was offered heroin.
Why not? he thought.
“He can show them there
is light at the end of the
tunnel.”
John Mogk
MRTC coordinator
He began throwing up uncon-
trollably. At the same time, he’d
never felt better.
“I loved it,” he says. “Heroin is
such a secure, warm blanket. All
the heartache, it just doesn’t mat-
ter.”
Maydanyk started “chipping” at
first, using heroin recreationally
on the weekends. He was train-
ing to be a plumber, and if he got
a good mark on one of his tests, a
little fix would be his reward.

Maydanyk is one of eight on staff at Maple Ridge Treatment Centre who’ve met their own challenges of addiction.
But what was once a weekend
pursuit quickly became a daily
ritual.
Maydanyk started working on the
fishing boats and would bring along
some heroin to sell to the other fish-
erman when he’d go to sea.
Soon, he was doing it all himself.
Still, he was able to function. He
worked. He provided.
He and his long-time girlfriend,
Cheryl, were married, and soon
the young family had a son and a
daughter.
A photo of Maydanyk from the
mid-1980s shows him standing on
the deck of a fishing boat at Ste-
veston Harbour, proudly holding
his infant son in his arms. He ap-
pears tanned and fit, a hard-work-
ing man with a healthy coif of
dark hair and a mustache, in tight
jeans and a T-shirt. Hardly the im-
age of someone addicted to drugs.
Drugs like Oxycontin, painkillers,
cocaine, crack, meth.
But his ability to control his ad-
diction was slipping away.
He would go on methadone
treatments to wean himself off the
heroin, and then go back to it with
no longer any tolerance.
“I played the game for years,”
Maydanyk says.
He would wake up at ungodly
hours to drive to Chilliwack ev-
ery morning to buy his drugs, and
then drive back in time to put in a
full day’s work.
Other than dealing drugs, May-
danyk rarely flirted with crime,
and his one attempt at theft was a
complete failure.
His drug-addled mind had con-
vinced himself he needed to come
up with $5,000 to pay off a debt his
son owed to some drug dealers.
Convinced his son’s life was
at risk, Maydanyk walked into a
video store without a mask, in full
view of the store’s video cameras,
and demanded cash.
When the clerk refused, he plead-
ed, then abruptly, he stopped.
“I don’t do this!” he exclaimed,
and walked back out the door.
Wandering the streets of Maple
Ridge, he convinced himself to
give it another try.
He entered a convenience store
this time, again demanding cash.
Again the clerk refused.
“I’ll pay you back,” Maydanyk
pleaded. “I get paid next week.”

James Maclennan/THE NEWS
He was arrested that night.
But unlike many long-term ad-
dicts, Maydanyk was able to stare
into the abyss of his own addic-
tion, and fight his way back.
Tired of the pain and misery the
drugs left in their wake, he surren-
dered himself to a higher power.
“Everything was the worst it
could be, and I just threw my
hands up and said I can’t do this
anymore,” he says. “I asked for
help, and that’s when things start-
ed falling into place.”
Maydanyk was able to wean him-
self off heroin, without benefit of
treatment.
“I was able to connect with
something that we all have within
us, and that let me see the bigger
picture.”
He avoided jail time for his
botched robberies, and was able
79
to qualify for a grant that enabled
him to attend Vancouver Com-
munity College, where he earned
a certificate in substance abuse
counselling.
“I used to think I’d wasted my
life,” he says. “When I realized I
could use what I’d been through to
help people, it wasn’t all for noth-
ing, y’know. I had a purpose.
“I had goal and I had something
to grasp.”
The road back was not without
peril, however, and one night May-
danyk relapsed. He had stayed late
at school, and walking towards the
bus stop, he soon found himself in
familiar territory near downtown
Vancouver. Before he realized
what was happening, he slipped
into that old behaviour he thought
he’d left behind.
It was a moment of weakness he
says, and he chastised himself for
it as he walked home, staring at
the moon.
“Why am I doing this to myself?”
he asked. “Why do I keep doing
this?”
He had no answers.
No one is more surprised at his
recovery than Maydanyk himself.
“When I think about where I
was that night ... with a shotgun in
my mouth and wanting to die, it’s
hard to believe I’m still here,” he
says, “33 years I used.”
Maydanyk works 12-hour shifts
at the treatment centre now, and
is routinely on-duty through the
night. Often when one of the men
wake up plagued with nightmares
and anxieties, it’s Maydanyk who
lends an ear.
“I’m not there to analyze or judge
them, I’m just here to listen,” he
says. “And they help me as much
as I help them, probably more.”
He listens to their stories and
shares with them his own.
No one wakes up one day and de-
cides to be an addict, he says.
And every person on the street
has a story about how they got
there.
“They’re not addicts, they’re
buried treasure” Maydanyk says.
“It’s amazing the wisdom every-
one has inside them. You just have
to guide them to it.”
His wife still struggles with her
addiction to alcohol, but Maydanyk
has faith she will find her way.
“You can’t push someone,”
he says. “They have to want to
change.
“But you have to believe in them,
because you love them.”
His son and his brother have
both managed to get clean. He
hasn’t seen them in years, some-
thing he’d like to change.
“All I want is to have a healthy,
happy family,” he says. “I want to
help them become whole again.”

Stolen vehicle stopped in Maple Ridge
Mission residents
tailed by chopper
Two Mission residents
were arrested Tuesday
after police tracked a sto-
len SUV through Maple
Ridge and Langley.
A Nissan Pathfinder
was spotted by plain-
clothes officers on 121st
Avenue around 3 p.m.
The SUV was followed
across the Golden Ears
Bridge into Langley.
Ridge Meadows RCMP
then called officers with
Integrated Municipal
Provincial Auto Crime
Team (IMPACT) and the
RCMP helicopter, Air
One.
The officers and he-
licopter tailed the car
and followed it back into
Maple Ridge.
A 19-year-old woman
was arrested when she
got out of the SUV on
240th Street.
Police then followed
the SUV to a property in
the 24300-block of 110th
Avenue, where a 29-year-
old man was arrested.
“This clearly illustrates
the RCMP’s ability to
safely monitor move-
ments of a stolen vehicle,
successfully make an
arrest and maintain the
public safety through-
out,” said Staff Sgt. An-
drew Martin.
“Police know that car
thieves will drive very
dangerously if they
know police are follow-
ing, or are nearby, in
order to avoid arrest. By
use of our support ser-
vices, this pair had no
idea we were monitoring
their every move.”
The woman was re-
leased from police cus-
tody on a promise to ap-
pear in court.
The man, who is known
to police, was held in cus-
tody for a court appear-
ance on Wednesday.
In addition to a charg-
es of possessing of sto-
len property, police are
recommending charges
of drug possession as
quantities of metham-
phetamine and cocaine
were found on him.
He will also face
charges of driving while
prohibited and failing to
obey conditions of his
bail because he is pro-
hibited from being in a
motor vehicle without
the registered owner
present and he is not al-
lowed to possess illegal
drugs.
Motorbike crash
A 33-year-old motor-
cyclist injured Tuesday
after he collided with a
pickup truck in Maple
Ridge.
Around 8:40 p.m., the
motorcycle was head-
ing east on the Haney
Bypass when a Dodge
pickup truck made a left
turn in front of him.
The driver of the pick-
up truck was given a vio-
lation ticket for failing to
yield while making a left
turn.
The motorcyclist was
taken to Ridge Mead-
ows Hospital. Police said
his injuries are non-life
threatening.

The right choice
If you don’t like your city council and school
board, you won’t have to wait four years after
all.
In a split vote last Thursday, delegates at the
Union of B.C. Municipalities convention decid-
ed to hold terms to three years. It was the right
decision, given there is little, if any, evidence
suggesting the current system is broken.
A provincial task force came up with the idea
in the first place. It was among 31 recommen-
dations to make local government elections
more effective. Supporters of the idea said it
will reduce election fatigue and boost voter
turnout, allow politicians more time to com-
plete their vision and reduce the cost burden
that municipalities face in holding elections.
There may be some truth to each point, how-
ever, the existing three-year term seems to
work just fine.
Giving politicians four-year terms at the
municipal level could have the opposite ef-
fect of what four-year backers believe. Deci-
sions made against public opinion could only
make voters more cynical if they have to wait
four years to turf dead weight from council or
school board. That, in turn, could lower voter
turnout.
The argument of giving politicians a longer
term to complete their vision defies logic. If
the decision is something the people want, pol-
iticians have nothing to fear during election
time; incumbents should be re-elected with
ease. If there’s new blood on council or the
school board, and the vision is still one sup-
ported by voters, then why would a new politi-
cian make a dramatic change in course?
As for cost, well, nobody said democracy was
easy – or cheap.

Maple Ridge firefighter Jordan Delmonico cleans the grill of a fire engine at hall No. 1 while wearing a pink shirt to
support women and their families affected by breast cancer.

MR firefighters wear pink this month

This October, you might notice
something different about Maple
Ridge firefighters.
Members of IAFF Local 4449
will be exchanging their regu-
lar duty shirts for pink T-shirts
to help raise awareness about
breast cancer and honour wom-
en fighting the disease.
First responders across Can-
ada and the United States will
participate in the “Cares Enough
to Wear Pink” campaign and en-
courage women in their commu-
nity to begin screening for the
disease.
In 2010, it is estimated that
23,200 Canadians will be diag-
nosed with breast cancer and
about 5,300 will die of the dis-
ease.
It is the most common cancer
diagnosed in women in Cana-
da. After lung cancer, it is the
most common cancer-related
death for women in Canada.
However, screening tests such
as monthly self-examinations,
clinical breast exams and mam-
mograms are available that can
often detect breast cancer early,
when it is treatable.
Early detection saves lives.

Realtors serve up
free turkey dinner
They’ve probably got it down pat by now, cooking
20 turkeys and serving 500 people on a Thanksgiving
Monday that should be a day off.
But the realtors and their families don’t mind be-
cause producing the “Real Thanksgiving Meal is a
way of paying back the community that gives them
their livelihood.
“It’s a way for us to thank our community so it’s
[Thanksgiving] a good time to do that,” said Juliette
Smith, a realtor at Keller Williams Elite Realty.
“We all have a really good time doing it.”
The doors open Oct. 11 at 4 p.m. at St. Patrick’s
Church on 121st Avenue and 225th Street and people
can get into the Thanksgiving spirit by listening to a
three-piece band and a guitar soloist.
At 5 p.m., dinner is served. Realtors will be carving
the turkeys and dishing out the mashed potatoes and
veggies, which have all been cooked in the Salvation
Army’s kitchens. Dessert consists of pumpkin pie.
Seven realty offices in Maple Ridge are involved in
the dinner. They all kick in $500 each for the dinner.
Smith said each year between 400 and 500 people
come in for dinner, a number that’s been stable over
the years. “We’d really like to encourage seniors and
families to come down.”
There are even grab bags for kids, she noted.
(With an offer like this, who needs a clever headline.) “It’s a free dinner.”

Spare a thought for those in need
Homelessness
Action Week
begins Sunday
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
On the heels of
Thanksgiving, staff at
Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows’ only home-
less shelter want people
to spare a thought for
those without a roof to
live under.
“We want people to
realize that there are
a lot of people in our
neighbourhoods who
are struggling,” said
Caring Place director
Darrell Pilgrim.
“People who
struggling with home-
are
lessness and poverty
are still people and
they need to know that
there is a community
here that is supporting
them.”
The number of home-
less people in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Mead-
ows more than doubled
in three years, accord-
ing to results of a home-
less census released
by Metro Vancouver
in 2008 – a count that’s
been conducted every
three years since 2005.
Ninety people were
found to be homeless
in Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows during the
2008 Greater Vancou-
ver Homeless Count, up
from 42 in 2005.
The 17 year-round
beds available for men
at the Salvation Army
shelter have been full
since summer, while
the nine beds for wom-
en are occupied 75 per
cent of the time.
Come November, the
shelter will open 30 ex-
tra cold-wet weather
mats.
Demand for the Car-
ing Place’s meal pro-
gram, meanwhile, has
continued to increase,
growing this year to
9,000 meals a month
from 8,000 last year.

I slammed my hand on a table
and proclaimed, “Every one of
you has won the lottery of life
and you owe something back
for beating those odds. Get
out there this weekend and do
something good for someone
else, for God’s sake.”
A protracted silence ensued
before a couple of staff mem-
bers began clapping. Clapping
is polite, of course, and always
ensues immediately after a
speech, more often I suspect in
more than a confusion of sound
bytes processed by a mind that
hears just a few words at a time
and strings them together into
incomprehensible logic that
should, by now, have gone viral
from some Tweet to a parent.
I’d ask, “Why me?”
But statistically, the answer is,
“Just lucky, I guess.”

Abundance doesn’t have to be a curse
F
rom the time those little
cherubs that we call our
children are born, we try
to train them up with values
that will not only help them
in life but will also stop us as
parents from being embar-
rassed when we’re out in
public.
As soon they can say
“mommy” and “daddy,” we try
to instill the value of thankful-
ness by getting them to say
the words, “thank you.”
If only we had a dollar for
every time we have had to say
to our children, “And what do
you say?” or, “Say thank you,”
after they have received a gift
or a word of encouragement
from someone – we would
indeed be rich people.
Just recently I saw a picture
of a group of African children
gathered around a well that
had just been drilled for their
village. As the water was
pouring out over them, it was
just a pleasure to see them
dancing and to see the joy on
their faces. I’m sure for the
workers who drilled the well,
seeing those expressions of
joy would have been thanks
enough.
It’s amazing how grateful
we can be when we receive
something for the first time or
something that is unexpected,
yet we often don’t even give a
thought to the things we enjoy
every day.
That same water that excited
those Afri-
can children
pours from
our taps at
an incred-
ible rate
every day,
and because
we’ve been
privileged
to have
plenty of
water as Acts of Faith
long as we Rod Shearing
can remem-
ber, we take
it for granted because it’s
always there.
We live in a country that has
an abundance of many things,
which I believe, is a blessing
and not a curse.
Our problem is not so much
with the abundance as it is
our attitude towards it.
The abundance only be-
comes a curse when we think
it’s our god-given right to have
it and we’re not grateful and
thankful for what we have.
Our children are growing up
in an environment where they
expect and think it’s their
right to have certain things
because it’s there or because
“everybody else” has it.
As parents, it can be a battle
to know how to keep the bal-
ance between what they want
and what they need. It feels
like we’re on a roller coaster
that’s out of control and we
can’t get off.

THE NEWS/home&gardening
Make most of fall, winter containers
A
fter a hot, dry summer and a very
wet September, our containers
have paid the price.
Tired, stressed plants are showing up ev-
erywhere, and now it’s time for a change.
As summer gives way to fall,
it’s an opportunity to add a fresh
autumn look around our homes to
lift our spirits just like the refresh-
ing fall breezes.
We have never had a better se-
lection of plants to create an excit-
ing new look in our fall containers.
Through innovation, our indus-
try has done an amazing job of
putting together a grouping of
new and old plants that thrive in
fall and winter conditions. Gardening
From bergenias and new ‘hot’ fo-
liage heucheras to evergreen sag- Brian Minter
es, lysimachias, vincas, sedums,
tiarellias, ajugas, euphorbias and colourful
ivies, there is an amazing showcase of
container plants to blend beautifully with
winter pansies and violas.
Evergreen ornamental grasses have
never been as front and center as they are
today, and their soft flowing look provides
the charm we have been missing in our
container displays.
From the new varieties of carex, like
‘Everest’ and ‘Strike It Rich’, to the bronze
stems of Carex testacae (Zone 6) and the
new fescues, like ‘Golden Toupe’, there is
a wealth of colour and textures available
today like never before.
Even the pure black Mondo Grass (Ophi-
opogon ‘Nigrescens’ (Zone 6), surrounded
with the silver foliage of Dusty Miller
‘Cirrus’ or pure white violas, offers an
opportunity to create a new and stunning
look in fall containers.
Funky trees and shrubs can be real eye-
catchers in containers as well. Anything
with an unusual form or shape gets my
vote.
The amazing Cotoneaster corokia (Zone
7) looks like sagebrush gone wild. Tall, thin soils by adding 1/3 fine bark mulch.
Cedrus atlantica (Zone 5) and C.a. ‘Glauca
Pendula’ add a blue, tall, slender look to
add that all important vertical element.
Weeping beech, both the green Fagus
sylvatica ‘Pendula’ (Zone 5) and the Fagus
sylvatica ‘Purpurea Pendula’ (Zone 5), pro-
vide great form and balance to any planter.
For a tall, thin look, try the golden and
green Irish yew, Taxus baccata fastigiata
(Zone 5).
All of these trees not only add form to
your containers, but they also combine so
well with all other plants.
Broadleafed plants add the fulliness and
colourful fill often missing in fall contain-
ers.
My all-time favourite is ‘Heav-
enly Bamboo’, Nandina domes-
tica, especially with so many new
forms available today.
The deep rich red of ‘Summer
Sunrise’ (Zone 6) provides a
colour ‘wow’ for anything pink,
gold or silver.
The compact forms, N.d. ‘Gulf
Stream’, ‘Harbour Dwarf’ and
‘Moon Bay’ (Zone 6) are nice to
blend with ornamental grasses
and evergreen perennial foliage
plants like heucheras.
Leucothoe has for too long been
underutilized in container work.
The compact Leucothoe ‘Scarletta’ (Zone
6), with its bronze new growth that turns
brilliant scarlet in late fall, is one of those
‘wow’ plants.
Callunas and ericas, especially the ones
with colourful foliage like Erica ‘Mary
Helen’ and ‘Golden Starlet‘, add both
flower and foliage, and the ericas will hold
those flowers through winter.
The new long blooming ‘Bud Bloomers’
are also a welcome addition.
The containers themselves are where
we all need to kick it up a notch. If the
container doesn’t say ‘wow’, why are you
using it?
Tall and thin or low and round are the
most pleasing forms. Everything in the
middle is just ‘the same old’.
Low containers look great on pedestals
too.
If you can find antiques that fit the style
of your patio, so much the better.
Remember, as winter approaches, that
frost can split clay and poorly fired ceram-
ics.
Also make sure to use very well drained
Most of all have fun. Reach out a little
with your fall look and create the ‘wow’
look you’ll be sure to appreciate and enjoy
all fall and winter.
Remember too, that as any plant passes
its prime, quickly replace it with another.
As most of these plants are perennials,
they will easily find a home in your garden.

Gardens just outside of Chilliwack. Remember, as winter approaches, that frost can split clay and poorly fired ceramics.

When you practice a
coordinated movement
of a fairly complex task
like running and kicking
a ball, you established
what’s called a “motor
engram”. This engram
is a path-way of nerve
firing from your brain
along the nerve into
your muscles. It can
involve physical move-
ments like throwing and
kicking, or even playing
a musical instrument
(practicing your scales
to become faster). The
more you rehearse
a skill, the more it
becomes indelibly
imbedded and ingrained
in your nervous system
and the easier it is to
repeat it in a game
situation. This has led

to the theory, which is

well-supported in the
literature, called “speci-
ficity of training” which
states that in order to
improve a highly skilled
task you need to repeat
that task and other
movements unrelated to
that task will not help.
This reinforces the idea
of specialization in one
sport.
Although this area
has not been well
studied in the past, over
the last few years there
has been more evidence
