Land swap for Albion mall?

Smart Centres proposes trade for Albion Fairgrounds

rently the location of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Agricultural Fair Association’s Country Fest.

Smart Centres currently owns 20 acres on the west side of 105th Avenue, fronting Lougheed Highway, and 10 acres on the east side, also along the highway.

Combining that land with additional land from the district could give the company the space it needs for a shopping centre in east Maple Ridge.

The Agricultural Land Commission told council in November that it doesn’t favour removal of

Opinion Tom Fletcher Letters Fund Run Arts&life Sports Classifieds

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter An U.S. expert in animal forensics is assisting the B.C. SPCA with its investigation into the spate of cat mutilations in Maple Ridge.

Dr. Melinda Merck, an animal crime-scene specialist from Atlanta, Ga., investigated the Whistler sled dog killings and helped build a case against NFL player Michael Vick for his involvement in a dog-fighting ring.

She frequently testifies as a forensic expert for animal cruelty cases around the U.S. Merck is currently advising the SPCA via phone, but will most likely travel to Canada to view the remains of mutilated 24 cats that have been discovered around Maple Ridge.

Proposal has some potential: mayor Albion from front He also said Smart Centres has had preliminary talks with the fair association, the Royal Canadian Air Cadets Coronation Squadron 583 and the Ridge Meadows Home Show.

“We are committed to working with your staff and outside agencies, as they see fit, to ensure we can break ground on a first class shopping centre in the very near future, as we hear, as no doubt you do as well, that shopping and jobs continue to be a great issue here in Maple Ridge.”

Smart Centres contacted fair association manager Lorraine Bates last week and asked questions about the group’s use of the 17 acres that it leases from the district, directly south of Planet Ice arena.

Bates couldn’t comment because the board has not yet discussed the issue.

However, the fair uses the arena and curling rink during Country Fest. If the fairgrounds were moved to the west side of 105th, the buildings would no longer be available.

“We use it all. It would impact us the most,” Bates said.

The fair association, more than a century old, has been in that location, formerly the Spencer farm, since 1961. However, the only heritage building on

Smart Centres existing properties, west of 105th Avenue, are outlined on the left; if the land swap is approved by Maple Ridge council, Smart Centres would acquire the Albion Fairgrounds, about 17 acres east of 105th Ave., which it would add to its existing 10 acres to construct a new mall. The District of Maple Ridge would receive Smart Centres’ 20 acres on the west side. the grounds is the old milk house.

The fair association meets on Friday to discuss the issue.

he added.

He would expect to see more building space for the agricultural fair than currently exists, as well.

Maple Ridge council will discuss the issue at next Tuesday’s meeting.

Meanwhile, another application to remove land

Mayor Ernie Daykin said later that it’s an interesting discussion.

“It has some potential,” he said.

However, the land commission also would have to approve the non-farm use of the land on the west side for recreational purposes,

west of 105th Avenue is also going forward.

GSR Holdings is applying to remove land that forms the northern most property in Albion flats. It borders property owned

by Steve and John Wynnyk and is also sought for exclusion.

Arts and culture pays off in cold cash and economic benefits, such as a half a million dollar boost from the Caribbean Festival alone, says a report delivered to Maple Ridge council Monday.

Events coordinator Kathryn Baird said that every time someone visits Maple Ridge to see an event, they spend about $30 a day. When it comes to locals, it’s about $20.

When one event such as the Caribbean Festival (which draws 20,000 people over two days) is considered, the economic injection over two days is more than half a million dollars.

Maple Ridge staff are continuing to work with festival organizers to add to the events, she said.

Currently in Maple Ridge, 53 events bring in more than 150,000 visitors and residents.

Staff support and about 23,000 volunteers hours are required to make events such as the Antioch Medieval Festival, Bard on the Bandstand, Christmas in the City and Earth Day happen in Memorial Peace Park.

The district looked at how it can better market such events at the first annual Vibrant Maple Ridge Town Centre Forum held in March.

Burnaby shooting suspect was planning to kill more

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A Maple Ridge woman who called police last Wednesday after spotting the van of a man wanted for murder in Burnaby is being credited for preventing more deaths.

Susanne Murphy was heading to the dike at the end of 216th Street to walk her dog Tuco when she heard a warning over the radio asking people to call 911 if they saw Angus Mitchell’s green van.

Police were hunting Mitchell after he killed two people inside a Burnaby sushi restaurant on May 27, then shot and injured his former landlord in Burnaby on May 29.

As Murphy approached the end of 216th Street, where the pavement ends, she noticed Mitchell’s distinct green mini-van parked by the side of the road. The plates on the van matched the description broadcast over the radio.

Chief Supt. Dave Critchley, the office-in-charge of Burnaby RCMP, thanks Susanne Murphy, a Maple Ridge resident who called 911 after spotting Angus Mitchell’s car at the end of 216th Street last Wednesday. phone out of her pocket, Murphy stopped in the dike parking lot and called 911.

“I was kind of scared,” she said at a press

conference Tuesday, as police thanked her for making the phone call.

“I had no idea if he was in the area or if he was in the van.”

Police kept Mitchell on the phone for an hour, while Ridge Meadows RCMP blocked off roads and mustered the emergency response team.

More than 20 officers surrounded Mitchell, who refused to comply to leave his car.

Mitchell, 26, was shot after he opened fire on police. He died in hospital.

Murphy says she didn’t think twice about calling 911.

“I know that some people hesitate or they don’t want to get involved,” she said.

“I didn’t even hesitate. I just dialled. I knew I was doing the right thing.”

Police are now crediting Murphy and the quick actions of Ridge Meadows Mounties for stopping Mitchell’s murderous spree.

“IHIT investigators have examined evidence which clearly indicates Mitchell had plans to target six business and six indi-

viduals in total,” said Insp. Kevin Hackett, with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.

Mitchell’s former landlord and the woman killed in the Sushi restaurant, Chinh Diem Huynh, were the first targets on his list.

Had Mitchell not been found, Hackett added, the death toll would have been higher.

IHIT found Mitchell’s hit list in his green van and revealed it included information on business and individuals located in seven jurisdictions throughout the Lower Mainland.

The information found included addresses, names of the people he was targeting and possible entrances and exits from each of the buildings.

“He had a plan,” said Sgt. Jen Pound, a spokesperson for IHIT. “Had he not been stopped, we don’t know how many people would have been fatally targeted.”

The owner of the sushi restaurant, Andy Tran who was also killed, was not on Mitchell’s list.

ment every year.

And according to a staff report, that’s where the District of Maple Ridge sits.

Even though it slapped another 5.7 per cent on to taxpayers bills this year, Maple Ridge residents still pay the fourth lowest in taxes and utilities.

Council heard Monday that the average tax bill in Maple Ridge is $2,706.

Only Pitt Meadow people ($2,683) Langley township ($2,673) and Surrey ($2,630) pay less in taxes and utilities while West Vancouverites pay the most, $4,785 this year.

The survey looked at 16 Metro Vancouver cities and had a median tax level of $2,949.

When it comes to comparing the rate of increase, Maple Ridge fits about in the mid-

dle.

Mission was able to keep its increase to less than one per cent (0.7 per cent) while Richmond had the largest increase at nine per cent.

Pitt Meadows kept its increase at 4.5 per cent and Coquitlam kept its increase to 4.9 per cent.

Surreyites had to pay on average, 7.8 per cent more in taxes and utilities this year.

Ridge first to benefit from pro planner staff reporter The District of Maple Ridge is getting some pro help in figuring out a future and getting the best price for the three acres it wants to sell in the downtown.

Experts from the Urban Land Institute of B.C. will use the property at 227th Street and Selkirk Avenue as the first project for a first technical assistance panel. That’s a new project that see land-use experts and planners ap-

ply their knowledge and suggest .

The district then will apply that advice as it writes its criteria and conditions for selling the land.

“We’re just not going to accept anything,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said Thursday.

Daykin said land assembly is one of the largest impediment for developers.

“So when this site came on the market we acted.”

With the Great Cana-

dian Gaming building a new gaming centre and the new Thrifty Foods store opening soon, the “property has the potential to be a marquee project to complement the work of our development community,” Daykin said.

The assistance panel brings experts in the fields of real estate, planning and development to provide unbiased and pragmatic advice to cities that are looking at specific land use and real estate chal-

Another great Pitt Meadows Day

F RONT YARD

FOOD

by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor The 74th annual Pitt Meadows Day is in the books and it was another rousing success.

Society president George Coghlan said the event drew as many as 15,000 people to the annual parade and as many as 25,000 to the fireworks.

“It was a fabulous day.

The weather was kind,” said Coghlan.

“The event really brings the community together because we do it as a group. It’s a happy day for us.”

The event featured more than 100 displays, crafters and vendors.

Coghlan said the event is the culmination of hard work and dedication by city staff and volunteers, making it one of the highlights of the community. He was especially grateful for the work of the fire and police departments, ensuring a safe event.

The 74th annual Pitt Meadows Day celebration also featured a new award for 2012.

Christine Wood, who organized the annual parade for 13 years, was named the inaugural winner of the Ron Morrisette Award. The honour is named after the long-time Pitt Meadows Day parade organizer

Morrisette and his family have long been part of the parade’s success, volunteering for a more than a decade.

Wood said she was humbled to be named the first recipient.

“I believe Ron was a lover of parades and put his whole heart into them,” she said. “I felt the same way over the past years. I loved it and felt very privileged to have been part of such a hard working, dedicated group of people who put their whole heart into putting together Pitt Meadows Day.” Vicki Morrisette, Ron’s widow, said Wood is just one of those wonderful people who stepped forward right

after moving to Pitt Meadows and helped shape the success of the event. She went on to organize the parade for 13 years before stepping aside in 2011.

“Christine thoroughly enjoyed her time with the society, in large part, because of the enthusiasm and effort that other volunteers were also contributing to the enjoyment and enrichment of Pitt Meadows residents, said Morrisette.

“However, the primary motivation was to see everyone out on the day coming together, rain or shine, as a community, all the smiling faces from the little ones to the grandparents, enjoying our beau-

tiful community day.”

Other honourees announced at Pitt Meadows Day included Lynn Papp award winners Jessica Howitt and Samuel Lachance.

The Lynn Papp award honours the long-time volunteer who passed away suddenly in 2000.

It recognizes youth with exceptional community spirit.

Leigha Luschnat was crowned Miss Pitt Meadows and Delores Lutner was officially recognized as citizen of the year.

The Maple Ridge Alliance Church took home top honours for best float and the Vintage Car Club of Golden Ears won best antique prize.

Peaceful Pitt Meadows Day There were no arrests on Pitt Meadows Day. Ridge Meadows RCMP report all went well during the celebrations. Police responded to a variety of calls, but said everyone in attendance was very well behaved and no major incidents were reported.

Smart swap?

Smart Centres wants to swap land in the agricultural reserve on the west side of 105th Avenue in the Albion flats for that of the same on the east side of the aforementioned street.

The difference, besides soil stability and wildlife habitat concerns on the west side, is that the Agricultural Land Commission has said it would entertain the idea of removing land on the east side from the reserve.

That way Smart Centres could build its mall and the sensitive west lands could be preserved and used for agricultural purposes – such as creating new fairgrounds – which, in turn, would make shoppers, voters and politicians happy.

That’s the way Smart Centres sees it, and Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin is at least warm to the land swap idea.

Council will discuss it.

Besides the matter of agricultural land, the other potential problem with the proposed deal is how a large scale commercial development would affect the downtown. But development downtown has come a long way in the past three years. The district spent millions fixing up Memorial Peace Park and two main streets. The main mall is getting a face-lift and new anchor tenants. And new apartments are popping up all over the place.

Smart Centres’ land swap seems to have few drawbacks, and the district has experience with lands swaps, having negotiated to preserve much of Jackson Farm in Albion as a park.

As demonstrated in the last municipal election, there is a clear desire for more shopping in Maple Ridge, to keep discretionary dollars close to home, also to create jobs and increase the commercial tax base. And the Albion area, with its expansive growth, is woefully under-served.

The timing is right for such a proposal, if done in concert with further growth plans for the area, including land there south of the train tracks.

It’s a compromise worth considering. Maple Ridge can’t just keep building homes forever.

Chaos reigns in wake of HST VICTORIA – The old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made.

The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change B.C. Views before the governTom Fletcher ment choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month.

For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all.

It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all.

The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the B.C. Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline.

Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas.

The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures.

Quite the contrary. The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying

to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin.

Here’s a partial list of the marching orders: get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax; unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time; and find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit.

The HST exercise continues to exact its cost. The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills. Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works.

Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets. Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of hand-writing them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light.

Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police.

An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more.

A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims

and strata property disputes.

Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups.

A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavyhanded administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal.

The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days.

“Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas.”

There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride.

Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through.

Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Needs to be fewer bears (Letters, June 1).

Mark Mellish says there needs to be fewer bears so he can enjoy a run in the great outdoors. How arrogant and conceded is this statement?

I’m sure the bears are thinking the same thing: there needs to be less humans.

What do you propose the district do? Start shooting bears so he can enjoy the outdoors? The wildlife is part of the great outdoors he seems to love. Is it that bad if you need to carry bear spray, or something to scare them off?

I am sure this will probably never happen to again, and if it does, I don’t think the bear will come close.

If the bear was wanting to catch him, he would have.

He never said the bear was that close to him, he just happened to be walking around there.

Mr. Mellish, we have to share this world with humans and animals, and you chose to live where you do. Learn to respect nature, don’t feel threatened because a bear was out for a walk. I hope you don’t pass your attitude towards nature on to your kids, if you have any.

Re: Fire damages Maple Ridge homes (The News, May 30).

On Sunday, May 27, our house went up in flames.

Thankfully, we all got out in time and no one was hurt.

While we were still standing on the side of the street, watching the fire department fighting the flames, there was a gentleman coming up to us.

He was a total stranger, we had never met him before, and here he gives us his address on a piece of paper, saying we could stay at his house for the night.

A complete stranger is offering shelter to a couple with two young children.

That was just the start of an amazing outpour of support and help we have received since the fire.

The way the community has come together is absolutely overwhelming for us and I have to fight my tears every day because I can’t believe the great support.

If it is my daughter’s school, my son’s preschool, the neighbors, the Girl Guides, friends or total strangers, you name it, we receive something every day, even if it’s just a consoling hug.

It is overwhelming and

A woman in a mini-van was taken to hospital Tuesday morning in Maple Ridge after her vehicle collided with a dump trunk.

The Dodge Caravan bounced off the truck and rolled onto its side, trapping the woman inside, around 8:30 a.m. at the intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and 203rd Road.

A witness driving behind the dump truck said it had the right of way as it crossed the intersection travelling south along 203rd Street.

He said the mini-van was going east along Dewdney Trunk Road and may have run a red light.

A dog in the minivan was rescued by bystanders and taken to a veterinarian clinic.

Injuries are unknown at this time.

Young man struck on head during break-in

is pleased to welcome

A young man was hit on the head with a plate during an afternoon break-in at a townhouse in Pitt Meadows on Tuesday.

A 19-year-old man was at home napping after work in the living room of the Barnston View Road home when the break-in occurred, between 4:15 and 4:45 p.m.

He woke up when he heard the noise of the suspect entering the home. The suspect then grabbed a plate from a nearby table and struck him on the head with the plate before running off.

The young man suffered a cut to his head and a concussion.

The suspect is described as a white male in his 30s, approximately 6’0’’ tall and was wearing a dark coloured baseball hat, and grey track pants.

“This is a challenging case,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Insp.

Dave Fleugel. “Our victim was totally taken by surprise, and did not get a good look at the suspect. We are very relieved he was not badly injured. I do want to notify all of our citizens, especially our Pitt Meadows residents, about this file. Residential breakand-enters do not normally occur when people are home. Although nothing was taken, investigators

believe the suspect’s motive was to steal property and only reacted after being surprised that the young man was home.”

He added: “We want to remind citizens to safeguard themselves by locking doors, including garage doors, and windows. The more difficult you can make it, the less likely a thief will get in, or even try. You can also help police by reporting all suspicious people. If you see someone in your neighbourhood acting in a suspicious manner, please call us so we can check it out. Together we can reduce crime in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.”

The annual Fund Run attracted 375 registered participants Sunday and raised more than $34,000 for the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation.

“We’re already looking forward to planning for next years event and doing something special for the tenth Fund Run,” said Laura Butler, development officers for the hospital foundation.

“The foundation is thrilled with how the community has embraced the annual Fund Run with so many participants ready to run for health care. “ The event featured five- and 10-kilometre courses, as well as a children’s loop around Fairview elementary, where the race started and finished.

“The atmosphere was festive, lots of amazing food, and great community spirit. We recognized several faces in the crowd that have done the run each year, and there were plenty of new faces this year,” Butler added.

“And we heard from several that had never done a race before – and they had lots of fun. The weather held – it was a perfect day for the Fund Run.” Last year’s event drew more than 300 participants, and helped raise more than $30,000 for the hospital.

This year the hospital foundation has committed more than $800,000 to purchase new equipment for Ridge Meadows Hospital, to fund community initiatives that encourage healthy living and provide research and educational opportunities for medical staff.

‘Everything should be left as found’ Cats from front “What I’m going to be looking for is whether there is evidence of a predator attack versus humans,” said Merck, who also trains veterinary and law enforcement professionals to gather evidence in animal cruelty cases.

Merck will re-evaluate investigation reports and review crime scene photographs, but also look for DNA from a predator or human in the cats’ mouths and on their claws.

But determining if a cat died in the jaws of a coyote or if it was sawed in half by a human isn’t easy.

Merck is among several people being sued by Tyler Weinman, a Florida man who was charged with killing 19 cats in 2009.

Prosecutors eventually abandoned their case against Weinman when it was scientifically determined at least eight of the cats were actually killed by dogs.

The bodies of the other 11 were destroyed and couldn’t be properly tested.

Merck did not examine all the bodies herself, but agreed with the findings of another investigator, who determined the cats were killed by a human being.

“The examinations were actually done by local veterinarians and they had missed some of the signs,”’ Merck explains.

“It is easy to do that without experience or guidance. Unfortunately, not all of [the bodies] were available to be re-examined.”

The Miami case means Merck will be especially cautious when examining the evidence from Maple Ridge.

The B.C. SPCA, however, believes many of the cats were sliced by a saw or knife.

Maple Ridge vet Dr. Adrian Walton looked at several carcasses in March and told the SPCA to order full necropsies on the animals after he noticed clean cuts on their bones.

Also, in at least one instance, the collar of a cat was placed neatly beside its severed head on the owner’s lawn.

Merck, though, counsels against jumping to conclusions.

“Is it a pattern from a person or a pattern from predators?” said Merck, noting that finding animal body parts is not an uncommon thing.

“It’s not easy to tell.”

Merck recommends that anyone who finds a cat head or body part to secure the scene until the SPCA or police can collect the evidence.

“Don’t let anybody touch anything until they get there,” she said.

“Everything is critical and should be left as it was found for the evidence to be properly analyzed, just like a human crime scene.”

For now, Merck recommends Maple Ridge residents keep their pets inside and report any suspicious activity in their neighbourhood to police.

In the past year, a total of 24 dismembered cats have been found in Maple Ridge, mostly in an area between 217th and 230th streets.

Men caught slashing tires in Pitt Meadows Two young men were arrested by police on Saturday after they were spotted slashing tires in Pitt Meadows.

RCMP were called after a man heard air escaping from tires around 4:45 p.m. in the 11700-block of

Bonson Road.

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said an 18-year-old man from Surrey was seen using a pocket knife to poke holes in a tire on three different cars.

The witness went outside to confront the

young man and his group of friends, but was threatened by a 19-yearold from Pitt Meadows, who took the knife and began walking towards him. Dunlop said the resident retreated to his house and the group be-

gan to leave.

The resident then followed the group and was able to identify both suspects when police arrived.

The pair were taken into custody and held overnight.

Passing on Adstock torch Adam Rayburn is no longer involved in the event that bears his name, but there will still be a show this summer

by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

E

very July for the past eight years, the punks, metal-heads and ska-loving skaters descend on downtown Maple Ridge.

Just for a day, Memorial Peace Park swells into one giant mosh pit, throbbing to loud guitars, booming bass and clashing drums.

When Adam Rayburn threw a free concert in his parents’ backyard for his 18th birthday in 2005, he didn’t plan on kick-starting one of the most anticipated youth events in Maple Ridge.

He called it Adstock – a play on his own name and Woodstock, the most famous concert in history, and which featured legendary performances by Jimi Hendrix, Credence Clearwater Revival, and Joe Cocker, among others.

Eight years later, Rayburn is ready to hang up his hat. But instead of ending the event that bears his name, he’s just passing the torch on to others who know a free rock concert is an immediate panacea to suburban boredom.

“I like the idea of Adstock continuing well past my own involvement so that there will always be a place for alternative music in Maple Ridge, as well as the opportunity for youth to get involved with it, whether they are performing, helping with the promotion or even running the event itself,” says Rayburn, who teaches drums at the Bergthorson Academy of Musical Arts.

Polina Erovjenets, whose been helping organize Adstock for the past few years, and Matt Salvesen are the forces behind this year’s event.

“We have all kinds of artists sprawling across several very different alternative genres,” says Salvensen.

Headlining the festival are local ska legends Los Furios, known for their uncanny ability to make large groups of people bounce up and down with their power-driven reggae sound.

For the metal heads, there’s Vancouver’s Nylithia and Maple Ridge’s Neon Terror.

Vancouver hard-core band Anchoress, which just released a full length album titled Crime & Compass, is

Polina Erovjenets and Matt Salvesen are organizing Adstock, a free all-ages rock concert in downtown Maple Ridge. also playing the show, along with swing rockers Rags To Radio, a band that Salvesen says never plays a single show without starting a larger-

orson Academy) have allowed the organizers to get closer to their goal of raising $1,300.

Even local bands such as The Bone Daddies stepped up to save the festival by donating $100, followed by a challenge to other local bands to pitch in and help.

“All-ages music is a rare thing out in the suburbs,” says Salvesen.

“A music scene is a delicate being that must be fed regularly in order for it to stay alive, and a couple years ago it was nearly dead.”

The line-up is rounded out with local bands, including The Jen Huangs, North Hill, Cornshed and the reunited Second Rate Rejects.

As the bassist for The Jen Huangs, Salvesen knows how important an all-ages show is in the suburbs.

He also knows organizing a concert

Plenty of filming Maple Ridge Maple Ridge continues to be a favourite location for film, with four productions shooting here at the moment.

• Primeval–New World – A new TV series based on the popular British program. It has set up shop at E-One Moli Energy and will be based there until August, as well as shooting at various locations in Maple Ridge and throughout the Lower Mainland. The series can be viewed on the Space channel.

• Killer Among Us – A feature film starring Tom Cavanagh. There is lots of shoot ’em up action in this film. Film locations include Iron Mountain Store, Haney Builders Supply, Hammond Church, and the old mill beside Kingfishers Pub. • Tom, Dick and Harriet – Just completed filming at Paliotti’s, Lava Dining and Lounge, and the old Roger’s Video building. Starring Steven Webber (Wings), it is a TV movie about an advertising executive trying to keep up with the times.

• Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade – A feature film was just shot at the ACT, Memorial Peace Park, Langley Farm Market, Jim’s Pizza and Sweet Orange Clothing store. It starred Autumn Reeser (Entourage) and was literally about a couple falling in love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Fantasticks on Gallery 7 stage A timeless story about young love, innocence A timeless story of young love, innocence, and self-discovery opens at Gallery 7 next week.

The Fantasticks, by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, is considered to be the longest running musical in theatre history.

“I’m so thrilled to see that such an incredibly talented group of theatre artists, both on and off the stage, has been assembled to bring this production to life,” says executive artistic director Ken Hildebrandt.

“I think audiences will really delight in the charming music, the amazing singing and the humorous, if not slightly bizarre storyline. There’s a reason this play has been running offBroadway for over 50 years – it’s a perfect pre-summer treat.”

Set on a simple platform suggesting a timeless period and nameless location, a story of love plays out as young sweethearts enjoy innocent bliss and romance. When they discover their courtship is the result of the manipulations of their two fathers, the seeds of rebellion are sown and the temptations of the world threaten to pull them apart forever.

Burrards strike gold in Merritt Defeat rival Chilliwack 4-3 in final of Thunder in the Valley lacrosse tournament

by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor Some late heroics on the part of the Midget Burrards B2 team catapulted them to a tournament win in Merritt recently.

The Burrards used a last-minute goal and natural hat-trick by sniper Jordan Acs in the final frame against arch-rival Chilliwack to secure a 4-3 to win the Thunder in the Valley tournament.

Trailing 3-1 going into the third, the Burrards played relentless defensive while Acs did the rest on offense, said coach Dan Morais.

He said his team showed great resiliency throughout the tournament, especially coming back against a very difficult opponent.

“It was a big game for us,” said the coach. “We hosted our own tournament earlier in the year and it didn’t go as well, so it was nice to get a win. They are always surprising me, to tell you the truth.”

The comeback was complete when Acs notched the winner in dramatic fashion, bulging the twine with 51 seconds left in the third.

Morais said goaltender Adam Bennett also deserves high praise for keeping his team in the game, not mention his strong play throughout the tournament. The Burrards tied Chilliwack earlier in the tournament, the only thing that resembled a blemish on their weekend.

This was the team’s fourth match against its rivals from Chilliwack this season and was the fourth straight game to be decided by one goal.

“They’re a really strong team, a tough opponent,” said Morais.

“They’re proving to be our nemesis, so it was a good win.”

The Burrards went 2-0-1 in the preliminary round and defeated the Surrey Rebels 10-8 in the semi-finals to advance to the gold medal match.

Ian Webster/The Merritt Herald

Maple Ridge’s Jordan Wenaus of the Midget B2 Burrards keeps a close eye on a Merritt attacker during the opening game of the Thunder in the Valley tournament in the Nicola Valley recently. The Burrards won the tournament.

Close not enough as Burrards remain winless

by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor Two games, two different efforts, and unfortunately for the Maple Ridge Burrards, the same result.

The Burrards came up empty over the weekend, dropping a hardfought 11-10 overtime decision to the New Westminster Salmonbellies on the road Thursday, then were promptly blown out at home Sunday, falling 17-7 to the Victoria

Shamrocks.

The pair of losses drops the Burrards to 0-5 on the season and last in the standings.

The team’s best chance to break its losing streak came in New Westminster, where the Burrards showed great resilience, bouncing back from a three-goal deficit midway through the second. The seesaw affair continued in extra time as the two teams traded four goals in the first seven-plus minutes before the Salmonbellies finished the

scoring with a minute left in the game.

Jarrett Davis lead the Burrard attack with a goal and three helpers.

Derek Lowe and Aaron Pascas each had two goals and one assist.

However, time simply ran out on what coach Darren Fridge called the team’s most complete effort of the season.

Fridge said the team did everything it could to win in New Westminster and deserved a better fate.

“It’s unfortunately we had to com-

pete harder than the home team.”

Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Burrard’s home effort against the Shamrocks.

Victoria scored early and often on route to the 10-goal win, notching the first marker just 44 seconds after the opening faceoff. The Shamrocks built a 6-1 lead after the first period, then rolled to a 12-3 lead after two.

“On Thursday we played with grit, like it was a playoff game. On Sunday, we didn’t show up with any of that attitude,” said Fridge.

He said his team couldn’t pass, catch or play defense in the first two periods of Sunday’s tilt. He said a lack of mental preparation after Thursday’s tough loss may have played a role in the “horrible loss.”

• The Burrards look to get in the win column on the road against the Burnaby Lakers on Friday, then host the defending WLA champion Langley Thunder Sunday at Planet Ice. Game time is 6:45 p.m.
