Large group surrounded teens at Pitt rave ‘Security guards’ shone flashlight on sexual activity

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

More than one person snapped photographs of a young man and a teenage girl engaged in sexual activity at a Pitt Meadows rave, while others illuminated the act with a flash light, a trial heard on Thursday.

A young man who took the photographs of the pair testified that they were first spotted in tall grass by a girl, who approached them and asked them their names.

“They told her they had just met,” said the man, who was called to give evidence at a trial for Dennis John Allen Warrington, accused of posting graphic photographs on Facebook of Colton McMorris and the girl having sex.

A Maple Ridge firefighter fights the blaze Wednesday afternoon. See video of fire @ mapleridgenews.com.

Charred lumber and burned, cracked concrete foundations are all that is left of four new houses that burned to the ground Wednesday.

Fire ripped through the homes at 227th Street and 136A Avenue in Formosa Plateau, a new neighbourhood in Silver Valley in northeast Maple Ridge.

The call came in at 3:49 p.m., when two homes were already on fire, said Maple Ridge fire chief Howard Exner.

Flames spread quickly to two other houses under construction and tore off the roof

“It went up fast. It was raging,” one worker on site said Thursday.

Firefighters kept the fire from spreading up the mountain and sprayed water on occupied homes.

There were no injuries, although one firefighter had to be treated for heat exhaustion.

The heat even melted a plastic outhouse and charred a tree on the other side of the road.

Exner said the department is still trying to figure out what started the blaze. The homes were just about at the lockup stage, with roofs and windows in, but no siding or drywall.

A construction crew framing several houses down first noticed smoke billowing out of a home, where a deck was being tarred.

By the time they retrieved a few of their tools, three houses were already ablaze.

Student letter prompts park cleanup Environmental group suggests elementary school adopt the stream

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

Haley Murgatroyd has always known Reg Franklin Park, a patch of green, adjacent to her school, was a place that’s off limits.

She’s seen teenagers stumble out of bushes, drug deals and the homeless bed down for the night near the stream that trickles below.

“It’s always been gross,” says Murgatroyd, a Grade 7 student at Eric Langton elementary.

A field trip to the park last Friday, however, forced Murgatroyd to use another superlative.

“It’s one of the most scariest places in Maple Ridge,” she says.

Her class headed into the park for a science lesson to find living and non-living things interacting with each other, but instead found a place littered with hazards.

She says there were syringes, beer bottles, lighters and condoms.

There wasn’t an organism in sight.

“I don’t think they can live in that water,” Murgatroyd said as she describes a dying brook that’s “bubbling, disgusting and orange.”

Murgatroyd’s complaints, however, are familiar to the school, although principal John Wheatley says he didn’t hear about the class’ experience from her teacher.

“It’s always been a space where teenagers have gathered and sometimes the homeless,” said Wheatley.

“It’s not a spot where we let the kids go too often.”

A fence was built earlier this year between the school and park.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Haley Murgatroyd, 12, walks past a stream in Reg Franklin Park, which was cleaned by the district on Thursday, after she complained about the park being full of litter. The previous day condoms, drug paraphernalia and garbage was strewn throughout the park, adjacent to Eric Langton Elementary School.

The park has always been littered with garbage, but Wheatley adds the school has not called the parks department to complain.

“It’s not an issue for the school,” he said.

Murgatroyd’s complaints however, prompted quick action from the District of Maple Ridge, which sent workers to the park Thursday, a day after being forwarded a letter from her.

Director of parks and facilities David Boag commended Murgatroyd

for taking the time to report a “potentially unsafe” condition.

“We rely on our parks patrons a great deal to be our eyes and ears in our parks, and certainly appreciate a phone call or a memo reporting any unsafe conditions,” said Boag.

Litter patrols in areas such as Reg Franklin Park are scheduled every two weeks. However, Boag indicated that when the district receives a complaint or concern, it can alter the schedule to have the site checked much sooner.

Parks staff did not find any syringes inside the park, but are planning to add garbage bins to reduce litter.

The Alouette River Management Society believes the stream that runs through the park is an arm of Morse Creek, which feeds into the South Alouette River.

Acting executive director Greta Borick-Cunningham said Murgatroyd’s school might want to adopt the stream.

Murgatroyd thinks that’s a great idea.

Sprott-Shaw College shutting down Maple Ridge campus Ridge Meadows College primed to fill post-secondary void

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

After more than five years at the corner of Lougheed Highway and 203rd Street, Sprott-Shaw College is closing the doors of its Maple Ridge campus.

The privately-owned college with more than 15 locations across B.C. is one of the only post-secondary options for residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who want to study locally.

According to Sprott-Shaw College’s website, the Maple Ridge Campus has “been around for a long time, but we’re a well-

kept secret.”

Sprott-Shaw College did not return requests for interview, however staff at the Maple Ridge campus confirmed the school would be closing down as of Friday, Sept.

28.

With the closure of Sprott-Shaw College, the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District’s private accredited post-secondary school, Ridge Meadows College, remains as one of the only local options for students studying past high school.

Douglas College previously operated a satellite campus based out of Thomas Haney secondary. However, its presence dwindled after the opening of the David Lam Campus in Coquitlam in the mid1990s, eventually shutting close to 10 years ago.

Bruce Grady, district principal for River-

side Centre, which houses Ridge Meadows College, says the closure of Sprott-Shaw College opens new opportunities for Ridge Meadows College, the profits from which are used by the local school district to fund public education.

“With them leaving, we can look at offering courses,” said Grady. “This may open up areas we’ve stayed away from in the past, because students were best served by Sprott-Shaw.”

Ridge Meadows College offers certificate programs in early childhood education, dental reception, computer accounting, and office administration, as well as general interest courses.

Grady said prospective students should contact the college if there are programs they are interested in that aren’t offered.

“If there’s a program that people are inter-

ested in, we’ll look at the demand and look at getting it ready for September,” he said.

Grady said while there may be little in the way of local post-secondary options, elsewhere in the Fraser Valley there are many schools competing to attract local students.

“There’s been tremendous post-secondary expansion in the Fraser Valley in the past decade,” he notes.

University of the Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Trinity Western University, Simon Fraser University, and Douglas College each have campuses within 20 km of downtown Maple Ridge.

Sprott-Shaw College also has campuses in Abbotsford and Surrey.

Car Care with Cyril Barry

ALIGNMENTS: GETTING IT STRAIGHT. As with all other aspects of car and light truck repairs and procedures, modern vehicles require more attention when aligning their wheels. With the majority of cars being of the front wheel drive variety we now have to align all four wheels to ensure that the car steers straight down the road and the steering wheel is centered. One thing you might notice about alignments is that not all auto repair shops can do them. Alignment equipment is very expensive to buy (we just purchased a new one) and maintain as it is very fragile and time consuming work to perform.

It is what we call a black art, as no two cars are ever the same and one tap of a curb, a speed bump or pothole can wipe out up to two hours worth of work.

The thing that I notice in our shop is that people are not aware that you cannot align a vehicle if it has worn or loose steering components or bad tires. Another little gem of information not common knowledge to most motorists, most trucks, are sold without the necessary shims or sleeves to facilitate a proper alignment. In order to align some of these vehicles we have to remove factory installed plugs to access the necessary adjustment points and then add or renew the necessary parts to make the correct adjustment(s) required. This of course drives up the cost of getting your car or light truck aligned, that is if you want to have a good job done.

In all things automotive you get exactly what you pay for, cheap alignments more often than not, give cheap results, so don’t be surprised at the difference in price(s) when shopping around. Good shops usually charge about an hour of their time for most cars, more for trucks, and more again for 4x4’s as they require a lot of labour to do the job correctly. If your car needs shims in the rear to correctly align it, this will also add to your overall total alignment costs.

In our shop well over half of the cars we align require the replacement of one or more worn out front end components. When dropping your vehicle off at any shop for an alignment or any other repair, make it perfectly clear that you require a phone call including a detailed quote of all labour and parts required to complete the job, and not to do any work without your final authorization. If the quote seems way out in left field, then by all means take it to another shop for another quote. If you phone around, your going to get the run around, as no one can tell you what is wrong with your vehicle without looking at it.

Remember to check your tire pressure once or twice a season, your tires will love you for it. If you have any questions, give us a call.

Drive safely.

Firefighters try to extinguish the flames.

trucks poured 5,000 gallons of water a minute Fire from front

“It went so fast. It was just incredible,” said Ross Davies, who watched the fire from 224th Street and 136th Avenue.

The tower of flames could also be seen from Vancouver, at one point.

Barb Leclerc and her daughters ran out to join a large crowd watching the fire after they heard sirens.

“My heart’s thumping,” said Leclerc, as she watched flames quickly swallow the homes.

“It’s pretty scary.”

Workers on site had minutes to escape. Leclerc saw a man trying to salvage a ladder and tools. Other workers, standing in the heat of the inferno, lamented about the

expensive tools that were melting inside.

“Luckily, no one lives in these houses, they just built them,” said Vicki, Leclerc’s daughter, who was clicking photographs of the destruction.

Exner said three trucks poured 5,000 gallons of water a minute on to the fire. A potential lack of water pressure from the hydrants was a concern. Public works crews were at the scene Thursday, checking on water line capacity.

Nine trucks and 68 firefighters fought the blaze until about 9:30 p.m. and a fire watch was kept on over night.

“We poured lots of water on this.”

Heavens to Murgatroyd The creek in Reg Franklin Park, beside Eric Langton elementary and the Queen Anne Apartments, was littered with cigarette packages, condom boxes and “syringes,” chip bags, coffee cups, pop bottles and pizza boxes.

A shopping cart, lawn chair, soccer ball and teddy bear were fixtures in the creek, at the base of Edge Street in downtown Maple Ridge.

This is where Haley Murgatroyd and her Grade 7 classmates conducted their science class on Friday, Sept. 14, to observe how living and nonliving things interact.

Certainly, they got an education.

Haley, 12, has also seen drug dealers and drug users in the park, which she says used to be a nice place to take pets. Now, in her words, it’s “one of the most scariest places in Maple Ridge ...”

She wants the District of Maple Ridge, council and RCMP to go see for themselves.

Parks staff were at the park on Wednesday, trimming back tall grass and overgrown branches and shrubs, while the kids at Eric Langton played outside at lunch. But it is down by the near barren creek, and in it, where all the garbage lays, and where a woman was seen smoking a cigarette next to a man who was doing up his pants. Two bikes stood at the crest of the berm above the creek, tires locked together, however briefly.

It took a little longer to clean up Reg Franklin Park – by Thursday it was spotless – but will take greater effort to keep it that way.

It’s no secret that the park is located in a troubled part of the downtown, and the ills of addiction and homelessness are not sole to that area.

But, as with the Broken Windows approach, the affects of them must not be allowed to linger.

And, clearly, they were with Reg Franklin Park.

It might require more time, more staff and more money to maintain a habitable condition in the park, even some help from the school and residents or other volunteers.

But that is what the district must do, for Haley and her school mates. They deserve better.

The dangerous road of denial ‘‘W

hy do you want to talk about a river in Egypt,” asked Sally, one of the participants of a focus group, composed of people of all walks of life and tasked with finding workable and acceptable solutions to make health care more efficient and Health Care Marco Terwiel less expensive.

That question was directed at me and at first I did not have a clue why the question.

Sally explained;”We are here to talk about health care, not the river Nile.

I must still have looked puzzled and she impatiently repeated: “The Nile, what has that river to do with our health care?”

Suddenly the penny dropped and I started laughing and said: ”You can blame my Dutch accent that you mistook the word “denial “ for the Nile.

After a moment of great hilarity among the other participants, I shared my observation that denial, or refusal to come to grips with a problem was a universal and bad habit leading to a lot of frustration and harm. Denying you have a problem is not going to solve it, nor will ignoring it make it go away. Yet, all too many individuals, and worse, people in charge of organizations and governments, take this approach of refusing to acknowledge there is a problem when clearly there is one.

On the personal level, anyone with any

Q

uestion of the week:

brains knows full well that any combination of lifestyle choices of smoking, drinking to excess, drugs, choosing to eat lots of junk food and lack of exercise will eventually lead to a serious health problem, increased health care costs and a shortened lifespan. All I need to do is look around in any supermarket and I see a great many people who are unmistakably in denial.

In my office I would see patients who neglected their diabetes and I would try and paint a picture of what kind of reality they would have to face over the long haul. Not to scare them, but to explain how making better choices would improve the outlook for a healthier and happier life. Many did listen; others did not, until it was too late.

I clearly recall one, nice 30-year-old man who was in total denial that his lifestyle would eventually cost him dearly. He was a solid citizen, a hard worker, strong as an ox, always upbeat, happily married with two sons. His always said his family came first and for the moment that was true.

However, he failed to see that in the long run he would he would not be able to live up to that commitment on account of his refusal to accept he had a problem.

Twenty years later he found himself in a hospital with both legs amputated, in kidney failure and legally blind, all as a result of his refusal to cooperate with the management of his diabetes.

Despite of his non-compliance with sound medical advice, I continued to like the man, his macho, upbeat persona. I felt deeply sorry for him when, in the end, he prematurely turned into a human wreck.

During one of my hospital visits, he told

If tolls were lowered on the Golden Ears Bridge, would you use it more?

me then he did not believe a word of my predictions 20 years ago, but wished he had listened instead of thinking he was invincible and could do as he pleased.

Denial in our society does not stop with individual behaviour. Too many parents appear to turn a blind eye when they allow their children to become overweight, even obese. Currently, one out of every four children suffers that fate.

I have always assumed that most parents want the best for their children. Yet when parents brought in a child for a regular checkup, injury or an acute illness and on examination the child appeared quite overweight, I would deal first of all with the presenting problem and, in addition, tried to share my concern about the unhealthy weight. I quickly learned that if the parents themselves were overweight, I did not need to bother. More often than not, it was like talking to a blank wall. Some became outright angry with me. They did not realize that by refusing to see there was a problem, they condemned the poor kids to a future with numerous health problems.

The lesson I learned: denial is a very powerful emotion that can easily override rational thinking.

On the political scene, the phenomenon of systemic denial is even more serious, since it affects us all at one time or another.

Our political leaders have been doing a lot of talking about health care renewal, establishing royal commissions, tinkering a bit here and there, pouring in extra billions without materially improving the health of the population.

Law must apply to all ‘distracted’ drivers Editor, The News: So the RCMP say that they are stepping up their efforts to catch distracted drivers and I can say that I have seen them hiding in the bushes along Dewdney Trunk Road with their telescope and loitering at bus stops and crosswalks.

As a matter of fact, I went around the block the first time I saw one at a bus stop as it was blatantly obvious he wasn’t there waiting for bus.

The other day takes the cake, though. I was driving south along 227th Street and the guy in the Mazda 3 in front of me was talking on his phone as we were driving along and a cop passed us heading north and I thought for sure this guy was getting a ticket. But he didn’t.

The members in the cruiser weren’t paying any attention and were too busy playing with their computer as they were driving and was completely unaware of what was happening right in front of them.

I agree that distracted driving is an issue in today’s world, but the law must apply to all drivers. I, as many other drivers, do witness the police talking on cell phones and especially operating their on board computers at the same time as they are driving, daily. The last time I checked, that is only another human being in that uniform who is no different than any other human being operating a vehicle, and they must put their electronic gadgets away as the rest of us do.

For the record, I do not own a cell myself and have not received a ticket and am not a disgruntled culprit. I am just an average citizen that is tired of officers rubbing our noses in it as they place themselves above the rest of us. No one person should be above the law, especially those hired to enforce them.

Easy problem to solve Health Care from p6

In other words, lots of talk and no action.

I will be the last one to think the issue of how to maintain an effective publicly financed health care system serving people promptly when and where they need it without bankrupting the country is an easy one to solve. On the other hand we already pay for a first class system and getting not nearly enough value for money.

Unless we come to our senses, we will collectively go down the same road of denial as my very nice diabetic patient did with dire consequences looming.

‘Scariest place in Maple Ridge’ Editor, The News: Re: ‘Regretting my move to Ridge’ (Letters, Sept. 14).

I have also been concerned with what has been happening in and around Reg Franklin Park, which is kitty-corner to Eric Langton elementary, where I am a Grade 7 student.

On Friday Sept. 14, me and my fellow classmates went down to the ‘park’ for science to find living and non-living things interacting.

But what we found, sadly, was nothing unusual.

We found drug needles, beer bottles, lighters, condoms (used and the wrappers), shopping carts, lawn chairs and much more.

And, yet, the saddest of all, all the little organisms, bugs, they all have to deal with the ‘water’ there, and when I say ‘water,’ I mean disgusting, bubbling, orange and full of needles and condoms.

Also, I have seen all the drug users getting high and dealing, plus I have seen how all the users have changed this once beautiful place to walk your pets into one of the most scariest places in Maple Ridge, because you can never be sure if you’re going to run into a drug deal or not.

So do I , a normal 12-year-old Eric Langton student think its ‘high’ time the RCMP, bylaw officer and district council to go to Reg Franklin Park and see what the people of Maple Ridge mean?

Absolutely.

Haley Murgatroyd, age 12 Maple Ridge

Scrooge not a fan of the Caring Place Editor, The News: Re: ‘Regretting my move to Ridge’ (Letters, Sept. 14).

I live in a apartment just a couple of hundred metres north of the Salvation Army’s so-called Caring Place.

We have lived here for five years and my mother-in-law lived in the same apartment for almost 15 years before we moved there.

This was once an attractive and comfortable neighbour-

hood, but it has steadily lost its appeal since the Salvation Army invaded the area.

Caring Place? Not for us.

We think of it as the ‘Scaring Place,’ due to the human rubbish that now frequents our neighbourhood, many of them drawn by the allure of handouts and support from the Salvation Army.

Caring Place?

Just who is the Salvation Army caring about?

Fact is, hospitals and hospices are in need of money Should change take place, one might wonder where the shortfall would be made up – perhaps in patient care.

In an ideal world, such things would be free.

I am aware directly across Laity Street there are residential streets that visitors to the hospice can park their vehicles on, but there again

problems arise.

Between hospice staff and visitors, combined with hospital staff and visitors, it gets to a point the residents of that street cannot even park in front of the homes they live in.

A solution talked of was resident-only permit parking. However, I’ve noticed

parking is not limited to two hours in duration – that seems a fair compromise.

Perhaps even a solution the author may wish to consider.

Drive across 117th Avenue and those residential streets are wide open to unlimited parking for all; nine times out of 10 it’s not an issue. Flip side of that coin is the fact I

It certainly seems to be anyone but the neighbours of their establishment.

The totally different use of the property, which switched from retail to charitable/institutional, has devalued every property within a two or three-block radius.

Our neighbourhood is now infested with drug addicts, drug pushers, prostitutes and the human detritus we refer to as ‘bicycle bandits.’

Police seem powerless to do much about it and municipal council moans and groans and does nothing.

And the Salvation Army expects the public to support this crap?

I don’t want to sound like Scrooge, but for the first time in 50 or 60 years I won’t be putting one cent in the Sally Ann kettles this Christmas.

Sandy Macdougall Maple Ridge

myself have been witness to two car accidents in the past three weeks – you can’t see a thing down the street when pulling out of your driveway with vision severely limited by parked cars on narrow streets.

As a resident, I have zero issue with people parking in front of my house, but at the same time, it has its perils and inconveniences to the residents whose house you’re parking in front of definitely.

Personally, I wish more people would avail themselves to transit, noting it stops right in front of both the hospice and hospital, with parking a moot point.

Failing all other solutions and compromises already made, perhaps Impark, the company that tends the parking lot and the author, can get together and arrange a solution.

Editor, The News: Re: Ridge hospice families deserve break on parking (Letters, Sept. 26).

Public art answers question of Balance

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

The last glass panel had been fastened to the branches of the aluminum sculpture at the corner of Maple Ridge’s main street, and artists Claudia Cuesta and Bill Baker were pleased.

In addition to designing the art, Cuesta and Baker were hands-on Wednesday in putting it all together, then dismantling the scaffolding and cleaning up the spot outside Westminster Savings Credit Union on Lougheed Highway at 224th Street.

The street sculpture is called Balance and it’s the second piece of art under Maple Ridge’s new public art program.

The sculpture resembles maple trees, particularly those after which the district was named on McIver farm.

“It’s specific to Maple Ridge – in that Maple Ridge is very much in tune with its setting,” said Cuesta, a Vancouver artist.

And trees are the most balanced structures there are, she added.

Six panels of tem-

Panels of coloured glass are installed as part of new public art project called Balance at 224th Street and Lougheed Highway in Maple Ridge. pered, laminated glass are fixed into the branches of a treeshaped aluminum sculpture.

“The whole idea is that it will change and dance to the seasons – and the weather. It will cast reflections over here (the entrance to the credit union). It will turn out beautiful.”

Cuesta and Baker have been creating public art for a dozen years and have several pieces throughout the Lower

Mainland, with the next two slated for North Vancouver.

Before they start their work, they spend time in the community to get a feel of its nature and values.

The Maple Ridge piece is of grey, non-reflective aluminum with upward facing branches that end in a point. That’s partly to keep the birds away, and partly to reflect what the artists feel. “There’s a bit of pain in the community,”

said Cuesta.

The sculpture’s also about progress and moving forward and more acceptance of the community, adds Baker.

He hopes the sculpture, which he notes is recyclable, will become an icon of Maple Ridge.

Cuesta said it’s more exciting when art is seen as a part of social development, “and have an emotional response to a place.

“We recognize beauty and therefore we get a sense of pride of the place that we live in.”

For Baker, “Art is always a mirror the people that look at it. It shows you who you are.”

The project cost $40,000, split equally between the Westminster Savings and the District of Maple Ridge.

Maple Ridge’s first art public art project is located outside the Leisure Centre and is called Tendance.

“Public art projects are a part of many great cities around the world, and it takes leadership and vision to bring this principle of urban design to the suburbs,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said in a release.

While a Conservative member’s bill to reopen the abortion debate got shot down Wednesday, local MP Randy Kamp wants more discussion on the topic, pointing out Canada basically has no law on the issue.

“I think that’s the thing we need to decide,” Kamp said Thursday.

Canada is one of the few countries that has no legislation on the issue, he added.

“I’ve said my whole career that I’m prolife, believing that life begins at conception.

That’s my basic position.”

But whether the issue every will return to the House of Commons, the MP for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission doesn’t know.

Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth presented a private member’s bill calling for review of a Criminal Code section which says that a baby only becomes a human being at the moment of complete birth.

Kamp (voted in favour of that, but the bill was defeated 203-91.

Kamp said Canadian law hasn’t changed since the Supreme Court ruling liberalizing access to abortion in 1988. But at that time, the court said that Parliament needed to do more work on the issue.

“To say that it’s a completely closed issue, to have no legislation of any kind on when an unborn child deserves protection – that I think is what all that motion is about,” Kamp said.

Many people find the current Criminal Code definition to be, “somewhat difficult, perhaps intuitively wrong,” he added.

“It was defeated, as expected, and I guess that will be an end of it.”

“The fact is, there’s no legislation. There’s no restriction of any kind within the pregnancy in Canada.”

But most countries in the western world have set limits on when abortions can take place during a pregnancy.

“Whether Canada is ready for debate on it, I don’t know.”

Some support decriminalizing pot Motion passed at UBCM convention

by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

A motion calling on the federal government to decriminalize marijuana passed at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention on Wednesday with support from several civic politicians from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

Submitted by the Victoria suburb of Metchosin, the resolution argued that marijuana prohibition is a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.”

The UBCM placed major emphasis on the issue this year, staging a debate Monday featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed.

After a lineup of speakers on the impact of marijuana grow ops and related crime on communities, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates supported the call for decriminalization.

Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne reminded delegates that Plant termed pot prohibition “a disastrous and expensive failure of public policy.” She said more than 500,000 B.C. residents have smoked marijuana, but she doesn’t support its use.

“Personally, I’d rather have a martini, and I’m allowed to, because we changed that very wrong prohibition stance that we had,” Milne said.

Pitt Meadows Coun.

Janis Elkerton made up her mind to support the resolution on Mon-

The New

Ottawa has no intention of “legalizing” marijuana. day after hearing from the experts. Her mother used cannabis 20 years ago when she was suffering from cancer.

“Prohibition has never worked in history,” said Elkerton, adding she was in favour of regulating and taxing marijuana.

“It’s caused more violence.”

Although civic politicians in B.C. have finally taken a stand on marijuana, many believe it’s merely symbolic.

Drug laws are a federal responsibility and the Conservative government has no interest in the debate.

Elkerton, though, doesn’t believe the motion was futile.

“We often ask for things we don’t have jurisdiction over. Somebody has to start the conversation,” she said.

In Maple Ridge, councillors Corisa Bell and Mike Morden also voted in support of decriminalization, citing the policing costs, organized crime and violence.

“This issue is dividing us and creating barriers, as well as causing financial strains on police and municipal government,” said Bell. “Policing is one of the biggest part of our budgets.”

Morden noted the UBCM motion addressed “only a very small piece of a much larger problem.” He

files

said there are several fixes needed to the current system, including Health Canada’s medical marijuana program, effective consequences for gang members and new laws to keep grow ops out of residential areas.

He also believes the messaging needs to change so people who decide to grow marijuana as a “mortgage helper” get out of the business.

“This is a dangerous business and needs to be stopped in its tracks. You can’t undo the trauma and harm that is happening to our citizens,” Morden said.

Local mayors voted against the resolution, however.

“My logic is that I’m not convinced that doing that will fix some of the other challenges that we’ve got,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Legalizing it won’t solve the issue of organized crime, he added, as it will still be grown for the U.S. market.

“Sometimes we need to think through the implications of a decision.

When you talk about the $7 or $8 billion industry it is in B.C., British Columbians are not using that much pot.”

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters was disappointed over the way the resolution was handled at the UBCM.

“This was a hot topic and due to where it came up on the agenda, time did not allow all interested speakers to speak to it before debate was cut off and a vote called,” she said.

“The question was not to legalize marijuana, but to decriminalization of marijuana. I did not hear enough arguments to persuade me to support the recommendation and do remain concerned as to what the fall out will be from this decision. This is only one step to what I believe will be a very lengthy conversation.

I am hopeful that all stakeholders will be able to weigh in before anything is finalized that is police, courts, doctors.”

It’s likely a meaningless resolution, as far as the federal Conservative government is concerned.

Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge MP Randy Kamp said Thursday from Ottawa that it’s not clear what the UBCM resolution means, although it sounds like B.C. cities and towns want to decriminalize and tax and regulate the drug.

“So it sounds to me like they’re talking about legalizing marijuana.

“Our government has no intention of legalizing marijuana. We don’t believe marijuana is a harmless substance and we won’t legalize any harmful drug.”

Kamp said there’s “considerable evidence” about the effects of marijuana, adding that researchers at Duke University recently found that chronic marijuana use affects intelligence, memory and attention span of young people.

“We need to take those into account,” he added.

“The short answer is our government has no intent of legalizing marijuana.”

Hammond pool getting facelift Thanks to donation from new business

The Hammond Outdoor Pool is getting a facelift thanks to the

volunteer efforts of a local business and a neighbourhood group.

Cindy Johnson-McCormick is a member of the Hammond Neighbours community group and approached Ron Conway at the Dulux Paint store in Maple Ridge hop-

Instead, Conway and his fellow employees donated more than $1,500 of paint and volunteered to do the work themselves.

pany in our neighborhood so I thought it would be a good idea to approach them,” said Johnson-McCormick.

“We asked for so little, but they gave so much.”

In all, 10 workers from the Maple Ridge store, as well as other Lower Mainland locations have offered their time to paint the aging structure.

In addition to painting the pool building itself, volunteers have also painted the pool’s rusting chain link fence.

The pool building will also be sporting a new mural, the design for which was chosen with a kids coloring contest this summer.

“It’s going to look spectacular when it’s all done,” said JohnsonMcCormick.

Conway manages the Maple Ridge paint store, which opened 16 months ago, and said he was happy to help out.

The store has previously donated paint and volunteer hours to the Cythera Transition House Society, and to a local elementary school to add some color to their special needs classroom.

Colleen Conway is the regional operations manager for Dulux, and said the company tries to help out whenever and where ever it can.

“We have the opportunity to make a big visual difference in our communities… so it’s something we try to do right across Canada,” she said. “We try to be good corporate citizens, and it’s just the right thing to do.”

With the Port Hammond neighborhood celebrating its 130th birthday next year, Johnson-McCormick said residents there are working hard to put a shine on the neighborhood, and a freshly painted pool will certainly help.

“We really lucky here, because people care,” she said.

$2.7 million to repair leaks at Kanaka Creek elementary Work to start next summer

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District is getting $2.7 million from the provincial government to repair leaks at Kanaka Creek elementary.

Rick Delorme, the school district’s director of facilities, said the elementary school’s stucco exterior is leaking water into the school’s walls.

But there are no issues with mold, yet.

The school was constructed in 1994, prior to changes to provincial building standards by the B.C. government in 1998 following the leaky condo crisis, a result of substandard construction practices during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District will be eligible to get back all the money it has paid for carbon offsets for the past two years under the provincial government’s carbon tax scheme, and a little bit more.

In all, the district will be eligible for $217,084 in funding from the provincial government.

However, the money is earmarked to pay for energy efficient upgrade projects across the district. “[The provincial government] is reinvesting those tax dollars in school districts,” said school board chair Mike Murray.

Under the provincial government’s carbon tax program, school districts are required to calculate their annual carbon footprint, and then purchase the appropriate amount of carbon offsets to bring them carbon neutrality.

“Things like paper use, electricity, and gas all contribute [to the district’s carbon footprint],” said secretary treasurer Flavia Coughlan.

School District No. 42 paid more than $190,000 in 2010 and 2011 to purchase carbon offsets.

That money, as well as and additional $17,000, will be made available to the district in the

the district’s priority list will be Albion elementary. Building envelope remediation has already been completed at Garibaldi secondary, Webster’s Corners elementary, Eric Langton elementary, Yennadon elementary, and Riverside Centre under the building envelope remediation program.

PAINTING STARTING AT Kanaka Creek was built in 1994, before building code changes.

“If you don’t address these issues, it can lead to mold issues and structural damage,” said Delorme. “The sooner you get at it the better.”

The project will see the replacement of school’s stucco exterior walls, skylights, and portions of the roof.

The project will likely

take six to seven months to complete, with work likely starting next summer.

Unlike most schools, Kanaka Creek elementary offers a year-round curriculum, so work on the building will be taking place while school is in session.

The school was one of

‘He wasn’t only person taking photos’ Rave from front

Available at: 22987 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge 19800 Lougheed Hwy, Pitt Meadows

The girl and McMorris has left the dance floor to make out in a field. As a crowd gathered around them, their encounter escalated to oral sex and digital penetration, but no intercourse, the court heard.

“It began with five people and within minutes there was 12,” said the man, who took eight photographs of McMorris allegedly assaulting the intoxicated teen.

The young man, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, was 17 at the time of the party, which was held on Sept.

10, 2010 at 12993 Harris Road, a large rural property.

He, too, was charged with distributing child pornography, but pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of distributing obscene material and was sentence in February to 12 months probation. He was also ordered to write an essay on the dangers of social media and a letter of apology to the victim.

The group that surrounded the couple included two IndoCanadian men, who had been hired as “security” for the party.

The young man told the court the men had a flash light and video camera.

“It illuminated the lower half of her, not the upper half,” the man said when asked to describe where the flash light was being directed.

He, however, wasn’t the only person snapping photographs

of the pair. He told the court everyone had their cell phones out.

The event eventually became the talk of the party.

“I knew no one would believe me,” the young man said as he explained why he decided to send the photographs he took to friends.

The man did not know McMorris and the young girl. He believed he had seen the young girl earlier - dancing and kissing one of his friends.

The man also revealed that he found out the girl’s first name at the party, but only learned her full identity only after graphic photographs were posted on Facebook by Warrington.

He said he did not give anyone permission to post his photographs on Facebook, nor did he share the photos on his profile.

“I’m not going to put photos of someone’s vagina on my Facebook profile,” he said when Crown asked why he refrained from posting them on Facebook.

Once the photographs appeared online, however, they began to spread like wildfire.

The young man eventually took credit for being the “photographer” and also revealed the identity of the girl in comments posted below a photograph uploaded by Warrington. In the comments, the man hinted he would upload more photographs later, but never did.

Fall Programs are Beginning!

Spots are still available!

Why not try something new like...

“I was getting an incredible amount of requests for the photographs,” said the man.

“So I made an empty promise.

It was the talk of the youth population of this city.”

Although McMorris was accused of rape, the charge was stayed in February after Crown found the available evidence was unlikely to land a conviction.

“So I made an empty promise. It was the talk of the youth population of this city.”

The girl, however, continues to maintain that she did not consent to the sexual activity. When court proceedings against McMorris came to a halt, the girl – now a young woman – made a public plea for more witnesses to break the “code of silence” and come forward.

She said she has no memory of the event that took place during the party. RCMP have suggested she may have been drugged.

The trial for Warrington continues next week. Other partygoers, as well as experts in cyber crimes and Facebook are slated to testify.

Pocket dialing resolution passes Who knew that a resolution from little old Maple Ridge would grab the headlines that it did this week in Victoria.

The suggestion for more awareness about accidentally dialling 911 got the support from the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipalities conference, as Maple Ridge council and mayor hoped it would.

Mayor Ernie Daykin, who’s on the E-Comm board of directors, says the Metro Vancouver area gets more than 100,000 calls a year

from people who dial the service accidentally or when they sit on their cellphones.

The resolution called on the federal government to require greater public awareness from cellphone companies about the issue.

Daykin said somebody’s safety could be at risk if E-Comm operators are responding to an accidental call while not having time to respond to a real emergency.

Somebody who accidentally makes a 911 call should stay on

the line and wait to talk to a dispatcher, otherwise precious time can be taken trying to ascertain that the hang up caller is OK. “Hopefully, it can make a difference.”

Two Maple Ridge resolutions that failed to get UBCM support.

One was for creation of a municipal price index, that would gauge municipal spending on construction supplies municipalities need, rather than the consumer price index.

Having the new municipal auditor general office include municipal salaries as part of its formal duties also was rejected.

Energy efficiency for budgets of all size Don’t forget province’s LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program

F

rom caulking windows to upgrading furnaces, energy efficiency works for all budgets Despite having no prior handyman skills and a limited knowledge of energy efficiency, Laura Lee Schultz and Jacqueline Gullion were determined to renovate their depression era house.

So they picked up their hammers and caulking gun and got to work.

With help from family, friends and YouTube, they learned how to insulate properly and also how to make other energy efficiency upgrades. Some small, and with help from professionals, some big.

Like the furnace.

“It was pretty obvious that the furnace had to go. It was amazingly old and inefficient,” said Schultz.

So they took the plunge and had it replaced with an ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency model.

They had the original ducting system replaced, too, for even better efficiency.

The ladies have proven that you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot.

“For less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weather-stripping and a window film kit, you can significantly change the comfort of your home,” says Gullion.

And they’ve got proof. Before making improvements, an energy advisor rated the house at 48 out of 100 on the EnerGuide® efficiency scale (a standard measure of a home’s energy performance).

Now it’s up to 64.

Contributed

For less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit, you can significantly change the comfort of your home.

And even though they switched out the electric range to a gas model (“We just like cooking with gas,” quips Gullion), the natural gas consumption has dropped by

26 per cent since making all the energy efficiency improvements.

As for future improvements, they hope to replace the windows.

The Number 14 |

For now, they’re enjoying their home and practicing conservation. Like hanging their clothes out on the line, taking shorter showers and programming the thermostat to a comfortable, but efficient 20 degrees Celsius when home.

If you’re considering making energy efficiency improvements like Schultz and Gullion, FortisBC has a number of rebate offers, how-to advice, and quick tips to help make it easier and economical.

If you currently heat your home with oil, switching to cleaner burning natural gas makes sense.

Better yet, the utility offers a $1,000 rebate when you convert your oil heating system to natural gas.

Already have a gas furnace or boiler? If it’s more than 15 years old considering upgrading it to a qualifying high-efficiency model for an $800 rebate. But hurry, only 2,000 rebates are available.

And while upgrading the heating system consider your water heater too.

Next to heating your home, heating water is the biggest consumer of energy in your house. FortisBC offers rebates from $200 to $1,000 when you install a highefficiency natural gas water heater.

Don’t forget the province’s LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program.

Any rebates you qualify for can be combined with FortisBC’s natural gas offers.

And finally, if water heater and furnace upgrades aren’t in your budget this winter, FortisBC’s website offers how-to videos such as how to install a low-flow shower head, or replace a furnace filter, conservation tips and information on the benefits of natural gas.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government will ask local communities to nominate directors for the BC Transit board, in an effort to improve communication on bus service changes and expansions.

Transportation Minister Mary Polak announced Tuesday that communities will also have the option of setting up regional transit commissions, similar to the one in place in Greater Victoria.

The recommendations follow a review of BC Transit administration, sparked by complaints that the provincial agency was arbitrarily changing service and costs after municipal budgets were set.

“We are also making sure that BC Transit provides sufficient notice to local governments of any service adjustments, along with the type of information local governments need to make timely budget decisions,” Polak said.

Joe Stanhope, chair of the Regional District of Nanaimo, praised the review and BC Transit’s efforts to give communities more say. It was Stanhope’s complaints about a doubling of management fees and the proposed withdrawal of new buses from the Nanaimo service that provoked the review.

BC Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha said there has already been progress on new regional transit authorities. The Kootenay region has nine different bus systems, but has established a committee that could lead to a regional service. The provincial review identified the Okanagan and Central Fraser Valley as other areas that should consider amalgamating.

The ministry will develop a policy for intercity transit routes that will focus on shorter trips and timing for commuters, Polak said, while leaving longer bus service to Greyhound and other private bus lines.

Polak said the municipalities in the Greater Victoria Transit Commission remain split on whether they should transfer their service to the Capital Regional District. The government will extend their ability to nominate commission members, which are now restricted to mayors of key communities.

Help growing your own mushrooms I

t may surprise you to learn that British Columbians eat more mushrooms per capita than all other Canadians.

One of those serious gourmets is my middle daugh- Gardening Mike Lascelle ter, Rochelle, who has taken Mycology (the study of mushrooms) to heart.

I think it all started during those family hikes we used to take when she was just a kid. I would often find her scrutinizing the mushrooms in hopes of finding a tiny fairy sitting on them.

That passion for fungus was recently re-ignited while she was working at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at the University of British Columbia, helping to reorganize a century-old collection of spore prints and water colours among their vast selection of natural wonders.

Then came a chance encounter with ‘The Mushroom Man,’ Scott Henderson, at the recent Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Country Fair, and with the parting of a mere $10 she became the proud owner of a block of sawdust with the promise of Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula

allowed it to drain.

The block was then covered with a plastic bag and placed in a cool growing environment, which in this case is the garage.

It still needs a little light to develop properly, so she opens the door to the garage for several hours a day to allow the sunlight from the kitchen window to peek through.

The substrate cube she brought home (in a bag) was little more than a compressed block of red alder sawdust with some wheat bran, millet grain and limestone,

As per instructions, she put the block in the refrigerator for a few days to activate it, after which she doused it with some cold water and

The first crop was little more than one large Shiitake mushroom, so she allowed the block to rest for several weeks and then started the process over – except that this time she gave the substrate block a spanking, or thumped in on a hard surface to help with the reactivation.

Rochelle can expect up to three more crops before the block is expended.

Of course, I understand that there might be a few people out there that are not so enthusiastic about

growing mushrooms in the house.

Thankfully, these same blocks can also be grown outdoors in cool damp weather, but they will need some protection from direct sunlight and slugs, which have also developed an appetite for mushrooms.

You can order kits and spawn locally by visiting The Mushroom Man’s website (www.shroomstore. ca).

For those of those with a general interest in all things fungal, you might want to pick up Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest from Timber Press – a handy photographic guide with descriptions of 460 mushrooms that is small enough to take along when you go hiking.

We even have two local societies dedicated to mushroom culture including the Fraser Valley Mushroom Club (www.fvmushroomclub. ca) and the Vancouver Mycological Society (www.vanmyco.com), which will be holding its annual show in the VanDusen Botanical Garden’s Floral Hall on Oct. 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show will include mushroom displays, speakers, cooking advice and you are also welcome to bring in your own samples for identification.

‘Crucial time in the history of residential construction’

GVHBA to welcome new CEO The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has announced the appointment of Bob de Wit as its new chief executive officer, replacing current CEO Peter Simpson who is retiring at the end of October.

“I am honoured and excited to have the opportunity to join GVHBA and help build on the efforts of Peter and his excellent team,” says de Wit. De Wit has experience in corporate development, finance and competitive market intelligence.

“This is such a crucial time in the history of residential construction with the explosion of new technologies and environmental complexity, and GVHBA

needs to continue to encourage cooperation among members and other stakeholders as they negotiate that change,” says de Wit. “I look forward to leveraging my previous executive leadership ... to (deliver) even greater value for GVHBA members.”

“I am delighted Bob emerged as the new leader tasked with taking this respected association to greater heights of excellent for members and consumers alike,” says Simpson.

“GVHBA will benefit greatly from his impressive business experience and well-honed technology skills. I am leaving the association in very capable hands.”

on the floorplan) are convenient and elegant, while the stainless-steel appliances are a cook’s dream.

Moving into the ensuite bathrooms, the custom shaker-style vanities and stone countertops are cool and modern, complemented by the deep soaker tub perfect for relaxing in and the oversized glazed ceramic tile flooring. Most floorplans feature his-and-hers sinks, a convenient feature that demonstrates Woodbridge’s commitment to quality and customer service. The ceramic tile surrounds are chic, while the huge vanity mirrors are ready to show you in the most flattering light.

“These are thoughtfully designed

plans with many standard features you’d expect to pay extra for,” says McClean. “There’s loads of quality from a proven and trusted builder.”

Pre-registration is open online, and already there has been a great mix of demographics looking at the homes, McClean says. “It will be a new community. Much like a residential street, it will have all ages.”

Homes start at $369,900. For more information, visit www.liveatniche.ca or call 604-535-5511. The presentation centre will hold its grand opening on Sept. 29, and will be open Saturday to Thursday between noon and 5 p.m., located at 3039 156th Street, Surrey.

Relaxing in South Surrey

Finding your Niche with Woodbridge Homes

by Kerry Vital

Woodbridge Homes is bringing an intimate community to South Surrey with its townhome development, Niche. Surrounded by green space, you will feel instantly relaxed as soon as you turn into the driveway of your new home.

“A creek runs through the property and it is adjacent to a protected green belt on two sides,” says sales manager Tucker McClean. “It’s my favourite feature – sets it apart from all others, tucked away, yet close to everything.”

The two-, three- and four-bedroom townhomes are located in the Morgan Heights area, close to everything that you could possibly need. Shopping and restaurants at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, schools and leisure activities at the Morgan Creek golf course are all just minutes away. Easy access to Highway 99 means you can be on your way to downtown Vancouver, the Vancouver International Airport or

These are thoughtfully designed plans with many standard features you’d expect to pay extra for,” says sales manager Tucker McClean.

the U.S. border in just moments.

Outside, the architecture reminds you of Cape Cod, with wooden gates, window boxes and pitched roofs. The landscape is truly green, making you feel like you’re in the middle of your own private oasis. The homes include large patios and decks, so you’ll be able to spend as much time as you’d like outside without having to leave your home. Adding a natural gas barbecue connection is an extra option, for when you’re in a grilling mood.

Inside, the nine-foot ceilings on the main level and huge windows lend a sense of space to the home.

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Friday, September 28, 2012 -- 45

To trust in ourselves is foolish W

e use acts of faith every day.

You probably have at least used it one today.

You pulled up a chair and sat down without pushing on the chair or examining it before you placed your full weight upon it.

Some have used this faith and have been let down, literally bringing a chuckle to some who look on.

There are many structures in our world that we count on repeatedly to support us.

What is your safety net for life or your security?

Is it your bank account? Your job?

Your physical strength?

Your intellectual ability?

Your connections with people?

These have been used by many, and yet they have let us down when we did not expect it.

How many today anticipated retiring at age 65 only to realize that our systems have not delivered and now we will need to work to age 70 or more?

How many planned to live to

90-plus, but faced cancer and died before age 60?

When we think we have it all together, there can always be someone stronger, smarter or Acts of Faith better posiGreg Dalman tioned.

When we truthfully consider our resources and capabilities, in view of a world economy that is totally out of our control, we are so weak and feeble.

To trust in ourselves is rather foolish.

Should we not put an act of faith in one who controls our next heartbeat or breath while sustaining the universe and even controlling governments?

Many people in our society seem strong and very capable of dealing with life.

RMHF donation An auction item purchased at the Meadowridge School Charity Golf Tournament helped raise $750 for the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation.

Meadowridge alumni Rob Jeeves and Dr. Marni

Others seem to be buried by the cares that continually seem to sweep over them.

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes ... those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land (Ps 37:3-9).

To know how to take any step of faith with Jesus Christ, connect with the evangelical churches in our municipalities; they can show you the way.

Greg Dalman is pastor at Maple Ridge Alliance Church.

Heed purchased the item – 40 volunteers hours – at the golf tournament in June. They used those volunteer hours to host a car wash at the school’s welcome back fair Sept. 8. The Drive for the Cure Foundation, of which Jeeves is chairman, matched the funds raised at the car wash, bringing the total donation to $750.

The News/sports Ridge ball player eyes MLB draft

by Ro b er t M a n g e ls d or f staff reporter

M

aple Ridge’s Tyler O’Neill has wellearned reputation for hitting the long ball. And one night in North Vancouver earlier this year, the kid they call Tank hit a home run so big it turned his whole season around.

It’s easy to see where the nickname came from.

O’Neill has always been physically big, something he owes to both genetics and his own hard work. O’Neill’s father Terry, is a former Mr. Canada, and taught him everything he knows about weight-lifting.

“If I’m not playing ball or studying, I’m lifting weights,” he says. “I don’t take days off.”

Last winter, however, O’Neill’s passion for the game of baseball may have got the better of him when he suffered a hernia while working out.

“I don’t know if I wasn’t breathing enough or what, but it just went pop,” O’Neill recalls.

Still suffering the effects of hernia surgery, O’Neill’s batting average slumped to the low .200s midway through the 2012 Premier Baseball League season. After a pep talk with his coach Doug Mathieson of the Langley Blaze, O’Neill changed up his swing, and soon found the

results he was looking for.

“My coach told me I have to start playing out of my shoes, and I followed his advice,” he says. “I started using my strength and swinging with everything I had.”

The North Shore Twins opted to pitch around the batter ahead of him that night in North Vancouver, no doubt hoping capitalize on the slugger’s slump.

O’Neill wasn’t having any of it, knocking an out-of-thepark home run to bust his slump and turn his season around. It was his first home run of the season.

By the time the 2012 came to a close, O’Neill was named the BCPBL’s rookie of the year, top offensive player, led the league in home runs (six), most RBIs (39), had the highest slugging percentage (.680), and most extra base hits (20).

“That was my first extra base hit all year,” he says of the home run in North Vancouver.

Not surprisingly, he was named to the BCPBL’s first all-star team, and was a member of Team B.C., hitting three homers in nine games at the Canada Cup. Although he’s still a Grade 12 student at Garibaldi secondary school in Maple Ridge, where he holds a 3.7 grade point average, O’Neill already has big league bat speed. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

JB Knights earn first shutout staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/the newS

Maple Ridge’s Tyler O’Neill is headed to the Power Showcase Home Run Derby in the new Miami Marlins Stadium next month.

O’Neill is currently being courted by a host of NCAA Division 1 schools, and has seen his stock rise ahead of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft in June.

However, he hasn’t made up his mind yet if wants to go the college route, or head straight to the pros.

“It all depends on where I

get drafted,” he says. “I’m just focussed on going as high as I can.”

In the meantime, O’Neill is spending the fall touring with scouting teams across the US, and preparing for his second year in the BCPBL with the Langley Blaze.

O’Neill is the only ball player from Western Canada going

to the seventh annual Power Showcase Home Run Derby in the new Miami Marlins Stadium. O’Neill also gets the chance to play in an international all-star game as part of the event.

“I’ve only ever been in one home run derby before, so I’m hoping to make it 2-0,” he says.

Pacific Cup Regatta comes to whonnock Lake this weekend staff reporter

The Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club is hosting the Pacific Cup Regatta this weekend at Whonnock Lake in Maple Ridge.

competition features elite-level athletes from across B.C., as well as from clubs in Alberta and Washington State.

The Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club is the largest competitive canoe club in the province and is a breeding

ground for the next generation of Canadian Olympians.

Flatwater canoeing and kayaking are both Olympic sports, and this year three Canadians medaled at the London Summer Games in those events. Competitors from this week-

end’s events may end up competing for Team Canada one day.

The regatta takes place Sept. 29 and 30 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, and is free to attend.

The Meadow Ridge Knights junior bantam football team celebrated their first shutout victory of the season on Saturday, beating the Chilliwack Red Giants 16–0 at home.

Brandon Hunt scored a touchdown early in the game to put the Knights ahead.

Mark Podschadly ran the ball from the 20-yard line for the Knights’ second touchdown of the day. On special teams Jake Loftus successfully kicked both convert attempts, adding four points.

Tato Ferryro-Araya made a clutch reception for long yardage to get the Knights out of their own end and down the field, helping to preserve the shutout.

On defence, Kailesh Kumar made some great tackles on the outside, while Zack Gordon also put in a strong effort.

The junior bantam’s next game is this Saturday at Townsend Park in Chilliwack against the Chilliwack Blue Giants at 7 p.m.

The peewee Blue Knights also notched a shutout win, beating the Chilliwack Blue Giants 26-0 with a solid team effort.

The offensive line, anchored by Jacob Gordon and Tristen Parkin, as well as wide receiver Ryan Spooner, made key blocks to open up the Knights’ running game.

Tyler Spencer ran for two touchdowns, while Cody Hogarth and Brayden Hamilton each had one of their own.

The defence was led by linemen Mackenzie Gordon, James Grimason, Sebastian Berg, Avery Fitchet, and Justin Nickel, who each helped shut down Chilliwack’s offence all day.

Train smarter at the gym: Part 2 A

2010 survey of more than 100 recreational weight training participants revealed that two-thirds of them had reported shoulder pain while weight training in the past year, whereas one third had pain during training in the three days prior to the survey.

Moreover, the literature shows that just over one third of all weight training-related injuries and disorders occur at the shoulder joint. The majority of these injuries and disorders during weight training are due to anterior instability and what is termed subacromial impingement of the rotator cuff.

Last column I discussed how the standard method of bench press creates extremely high forces in very unstable, poorly supported anterior portion of the shoulder. In this column I will discuss four more common exercises that are dangerous and should be modified in the weight room.

The upright row has been a traditional weight room exercise, but despite its’ popularity, the common technique that is used increases the risk for impingement of the rotator cuff tendons on the bone near the junc-

tion of the collar bone (clavicle) and shoulder blade (called the acromion).

The specific problem with the upright row is that it requires the elbows to be elevated above shoulder height while the arms are in what’s called an internally rotated position.

Performing this movement in the aforementioned manner leads to rubbing and irritation of the cuff tendon on the bone which causes a tendonitis.

Another problem with this exercise is that as we age, the acromion sometimes develops boney projections or spurs, and these can do further damage if the tendon if rubbed up against the bone repeatedly.

One way to modify this exercise would be vastly reduce the height that the arms are lifted, but this would render the value of the exercise as basically ineffectual.

Instead, there are many other safe, effective exercises for the shoulder that you can do.

Two other exercises that are dangerous and should be avoided are the latissimus pulldown and military press while bringing the bar behind the neck.

Entry-level earnings start at $30.79/hour to $40.42/hour.

This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC).
