Aquilinis ‘optimistic’ about water licences Group expects decision by end of year

by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Requests for water allocations from the North Alouette River could be given the go-ahead by the end of the year, according to an Aquilini group spokesman.

John Negrin, with Aquilini Investment Group, said he has reason to be optimistic the permits will be granted by the end of the year.

The six applications, dating from 2007 – to pump water from the river for flood harvesting of cranberries, irrigation and storage – are the same applications that were in process when Aquilini companies were charged in 2011 under the Water Act, the Fisheries Act and Dike Maintenance Act.

Closed for business?

Carolyn Bartkowski, owner of Carolyn’s Used Book Store on Dewdney Trunk Road in downtown Maple Ridge, has been told she has to move and fears she’ll have to close her business after 20 years because she can’t find another affordable place to lease. See story, p5.

Downtown parking lots could be sold Some owned by district are in ‘prime locations’

Bob Jones and Lynda Lawrence of the Downtown Parking Society at one of the downtown district lots that could be sold and developed.

Some of the district’s downtown parking lots could be gobbled up by developers, if the right offer is made and other space found for employee vehicles.

A Maple Ridge staff report says some of the lots are in “prime locations” and could catch the

interest of developers, then serve as a “catalyst” for more projects The proposal, though, surprised the Downtown Parking Society, which has managed five of the district’s eight downtown lots for the past 20 years.

“I know the city [district] owns them and I know the city has the right to do whatever it wants,” but considering the volunteer time given over the years, “I think … we should have the opportunity to be involved,” said parking society chairman Bob Jones.

The society was formed in the 1990s to help provide employee parking in the downtown, to free up customer parking on downtown streets.

Downtown businesses paid a property tax levy to cover the $1.5 million the district borrowed to buy the properties.

“The purpose of this was because we had a horrible parking problem,” Jones told council’s committee meeting on Monday.

The purchase amount has all been repaid, which, with interest, totaled $2.8 million.

The levy has since been converted to fund the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association.

Over the years, the parking lots have improved business conditions. “It’s really helped with the downtown.”

Jones was concerned about the downtown losing parking spaces if the district sells the lots to developers, but a staff report says the number of parking stalls in the downtown must remain the same.

Grieving for Amanda around the world Teen’s story strikes chord with youth and their parents

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

T

he messages and condolences have been coming in from all corners of the globe as the story of tormented teenager Amanda Todd has spread virally via social media, broadcast, and print news.

The Youtube video Todd posted a month prior to her death detailing the harassment she suffered from an online predator and school bullies, how she descended into drug and alcohol abuse, as well as self harm, has been viewed close to 20 million times.

Her story has prompted teens from as far away as Texas and Russia to post messages of sympathy on the many memorial Facebook sites that have popped up in the past week since Todd’s death.

Nina Montané is a television journalist with the French news program 66 Minutes, which has sent crews from Paris to the Lower Mainland to cover the tragic tale.

Montané says Todd’s video, which has been shared online throughout France and much of Europe, struck

Picutres posted the RIP Amanda Todd memorial page on Facebook show sympathies from as far away as Russia and Texas. a chord with viewers for a number of reasons. Younger viewers identified with the angst Todd expressed in her video, and her feelings of loneliness.

“Her story is a warning message, and I think everyone identifies with what she went through,” says Montané. “She was so isolated and she made this SOS, and it didn’t really help her. It’s

sad she only gets the attention now, when it is too late.”

However, older viewers, especially parents, are having a different response.

“Older people are really scared by what happened to [Todd], because they don’t understand teenagers’ habits on the Internet,” says Montané. “Many wonder how she could think she wouldn’t be recorded [after exposing

herself online].”

Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter allowed for the rapid spread of the online video, as both teens and parents shared Todd’s story.

“The fact that she made this video on Youtube, everyone across the world could see it,” says Montané.

Martin Laba, an associate professor at Simon Fraser University specializing

in media and pop culture analysis, is surprised by the global impact of Todd’s story.

“You’d have to have been living in a hole to have not heard about her story,” says Laba. “It truly went viral, and was particularly driven by social media.”

While social media has played a significant role in the spread of Todd’s story, it has also created a forum

Hockey and racist slurs spark post-bar fight Defence for Trevor Harding says victim was aggressor

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

A drunken argument over hockey sparked a fight last year that left a Maple Ridge man paralyzed and an Irish national facing a trial for aggravated assault.

Trevor Harding, a resident of Tipperary, Ireland, and his friends watched the Canucks lose to Nashville 2-1 on April 30, 2011, then went for a few drinks at Shooter’s pub on 207th Street in Maple Ridge.

They left the pub when it closed at 2 a.m. and were walking along Dewdney Trunk Road when someone across the street yelled “Luongo sucks.”

Thomas Byrne, who was with Harding that night, was wearing a blue Canuck’s jersey.

Testifying in Harding’s defence on Wednes-

day during a trial in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court, Byrne described the argument as a lot of “trash talking.”

Harding, Byrne and another man, however, decided to cross the street, where Cordell Peter Dame and his friend Tim Toth were, and the tiff escalated.

They noticed Trevor [Harding] had an accent, said Byrne.

“They referred to him as dirty Mexican.”

The shouting continued with Dame telling Harding “he did not belong here.”

Byrne revealed he and his friends were then threatened by Dame, who said he had “connections” to the Hell’s Angels. Dame’s families vehemently denies any connections to the outlaw motorcycle gang, and ascribes his comment to drunken bravado, but revealed Dame cleaned the Haney chapter’s club house in Pitt Meadows a few years ago. Dame owned and ran his own business, Clean-Pro Janitorial, before the fight left him with life-altering injuries.

After the racist slurs, the argument between

Photos from Facebook

Harding and Dame got psychical.

Byrne said Dame pushed Harding, who said there was no need to fight.

He told the court when Harding was pushed for a second time, he retaliated.

He punched Dame once and knocked him to the ground.

Byrne said they left the area, but were followed by Dame’s friend, who told the trio he’d never forget their faces.

Byrne claimed the threat prompted him to switch jerseys with Harding, who was dressed in a red soccer shirt.

Crown prosecutor Peter Ng confronted Byrne with discrepancies between his testimony in court and a statement he gave to police soon after the incident.

Ng asked Byrne why he and his friends decided to cross the street.

“Crossing the street was something provocative ... there was a real likelihood of an altercation,” said Ng. Ng also asked Byrne whether Harding kicked Dame while he was on the ground.

See Amanda, p4

“He didn’t boot him. It was more like a nudge,” replied Byrne.

The minutes-long encounter between Dame and Harding has serious consequences for both. Dame was knocked unconscious. He sustained injuries to his face and brain that left him in a coma for more than a month. He remains partially paralysed.

Harding, who had arrived in Canada in February 2011, has been devastated by the charges, according to his lawyer.

The Irish rally champ’s passport was seized and he’s been languishing in a foreign country with little support. His friends travelled to Canada from Ireland to support him during the trial.

“Dame was the aggressor in this situation,” John Cheevers, Harding’s lawyer, told the court during closing arguments.

“My client unfortunately stood in and tried to diffuse the situation.”

Cheevers also asked the judge to discount testimony given by George Nestor, a taxi driver who came to pick up Dame and his friend and witnessed the assault.

It’s not consistent with the testimony of all the other witnesses, said Cheevers.

Provincial court Judge Rory Walters is set to deliver his decision on the trial in November.

where bullying and harassment runs rampant, as is evidenced by the volume of abuse and criticism of Todd circulating online.

“Social media has democratized media and given access to the public they haven’t had before,” says Laba. “By the same token, there’s an uncontrollable, uncontainable dimension.

This case demonstrates those problematic dimensions of social media.”

Laba sees Todd’s story as an urgent and critical call for education of young people about the nature, consequences, and dangers of social media.

“There are chilling consequences for young people online,” he says.

Laba says while the mainstream media response to Todd’s story has shone a light on many issues facing today’s teenagers, the conversation is often oversimplified.

“The mainstream media has done a very good job of creating a sense of the urgency and the critical nature of this social issue,” he says.

“But bullying itself is very ill-defined. Mainstream media should be a place where the nuances and complexity of this issue are discussed, but it doesn’t allow for such reflection. Instead the mainstream media tend to give us rather simplistic answers, and that does a disservice.”

Car Care ‘We don’t really know her’ OIL CONSUMPTION There is nothing worse than following a vehicle that is belching out blue smoke. This is in fact excessive oil consumption or burning, and can be caused by many reasons, all which lead to your vehicle’s engine compartment.

Due to public outcry our provincial emissions testing stations will not test a vehicle which is considered to burn excessive blue smoke. This has nothing to do with emissions output and everything to do with the public misconception that vehicle emissions are what you see coming out of the tailpipe of the car or truck ahead of you. Just for the record: emissions testing targets greenhouse gases that are both deadly and invisible. Oil consumption smoke is not one of these.

The most common cause of excessive oil burning in the internal combustion engine is almost always due to worn internal components.

These include valve seals, valve guides and the piston rings which are designed to scrape excessive oil off the cylinder walls inside the engine as it is running. As most vehicle owners know, any time you need internal engine repairs the price of those repairs can be quite costly.

There are low cost problems that can cause oil consumption which are often overlooked by some self-titled ‘auto service specialists’. The first one that jumps to mind is using the wrong grade of oil, make sure that the type and grade of oil you are using is the correct one.

An incorrect or inoperative Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) Valve or system will also affect oil consumption. Plugged oil return passages in cylinder heads can cause a build up of oil levels in the valve train, allowing oil to drain through the valve guides directly into the combustion chambers resulting in blue smoke pouring out the tailpipe.

The ironic thing about excessive oil consumption is that for the most part, it is caused by a lack of oil changes at the prescribed intervals. That’s right: internal engine wear is caused by abuse, lack of lubrication or just plain high mileage.

The way to prevent internal engine wear, no matter how much you drive, is to change your oil more often. When changing your oil always change the oil filter and do not buy cheap parts, this is the least expensive service your vehicle requires and one of the most important.

Take the opportunity to have your car inspected by a certified auto technician during your next oil change, it costs about the same, and who better to inspect your “wheels” than someone who knows how it all works. This is not only great value but in the long run it will save you a Great Deal of Money, since they can catch the small things before they get out of hand and start sticking it into your wallet.

Remember to check your oil level regularly and get any leaks fixed right away as leaking oil will not fix itself and it causes collateral damage to everything it come into contact with.

That same media attention has also been an impediment to the police investigation, he notes.

But Todd’s story is far from unique, he notes, and it is becoming more common.

Suicide numbers among females aged 10 to 19 have risen from 50 cases in 1980 to 77 in 2008, according to a report published by the Public Health Agency of Canada earlier this year.

What makes what happened to Todd different, said Laba, is the video she published prior to her death, and the role the Internet played, both before and after her death.

“We know that the kind of torment she experienced is epidemic, especially

among teens. But the media, particularly broadcast media, needs quick and crisp explanations,” explains Laba. In this case, Todd, herself, provided one with her online video.

“The story is so poignant and so terribly tragic … It was a simple and direct route to what the media and the public often refer to as closure.

“But this is a case that shouldn’t be so easily summed up in this way.”

Todd’s story touches not only on bullying and the dangers of social media, but the sexualization of youth, depression and mental illness as well.

“In the end, we really don’t know Amanda Todd, she’s a stranger,” says Laba. “We have some insight into the torment of her life, but that’s all we have.”

Book store can’t find a new home, may close Owner claims rent rates are too high

by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Carolyn Bartkowski can’t afford to move, so she’s closing her downtown business, shutting the doors after 20 years.

“It’s no wonder why businesses don’t stay in our downtown core,” she says.

“I’m totally frustrated because there’s absolutely no place to go in town that’s cheap enough.”

She’s been looking for a new home for Carolyn’s Used Book Store for the last four months after receiving notice that she has to vacate by July.

Bartkowski has been renting a 900-sq. foot shop on Dewdney Trunk Road at 228th for the past six years.

She has been checking for a place to relocate, but spots she’s found are either too large, too small or a mess and require thousands of dollars to make presentable.

Bartkowski had been getting a rental bargain, paying only $1,433 monthly for 900 sq. feet.

The last time she moved it took her a year to recover and rebuild her client base. So unless she can find the perfect space with lots of parking, that will be the end of her business that’s helping in her retirement.

Despite her struggle, commercial leasing rates in downtown Maple Ridge are lower than the in many parts of Metro Vancouver.

Rental rates range between $18 and $35 a square foot in Maple Ridge. Anything under $20 is low, said Ineke Boekhorst, executivedirector with the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association.

She also challenges the view that businesses are departing from the downtown. It’s actually the other way around.

“It’s filling up really quickly. It’s pretty hard to find spots,” said Boekhorst.

For instance, the building on 224th Street, vacated Oct. 1 by HSBC, has already been filled by a finance company.

As soon as one store empties, it’s filled by another, she added.

“There are not a lot of vacancies. We don’t have it.”

For instance, while Maple Ridge Cycle moved from its prime spot on Lougheed Highway and 225th Street, it reopened around the corner on Fraser Street. In the meantime, the new owner of the building has renovated the spot formerly occupied by the cycle shop.

One option for a book store would be sharing a space with a coffee shop, Boekhorst suggested.

She agreed, though, that many buildings need work and noted the BIA’s facade improvement program helps builders with those costs.

As for landlords raising rents and pushing people out of the downtown, “I don’t think property owners are raising their rents right now. The economy is in such a state, that you’re looking for a stable tenant that will make the rent,” Boekhorst said.

At the Maple Ridge News office on 119th Avenue, the monthly leasing cost has increased only $300 over five years.

Jones says if owners raise rents they risk losing their tenants. When it comes to offshore investors, they’re looking more for a safe place to invest their money rather than raking in rental

income.

“The rents that I’ve charge have changed very little in the past 20 years.

“I haven’t seen that people are moving out where the rents are too high.”

But what is hurting are the annual increases in property taxes slapped on by the municipality.

Those are often included in the rental bill, leaving the tenant to cover those increases.

Jones says the rates he charges are reasonable.

“That’s why I don’t have vacancies.”

Jones says Maple Ridge’s downtown has changed little over the past several years, while large commercial projects go up in

neighbouring cities.

“But there’s no expansion [in Maple Ridge], and that’s amazing.”

However, he liked the direction that the downtown is moving as more residential projects continue to be built, which in turn will support commercial enterprises.

“That will be wonderful.”

Get message out The international outpouring of shock, disbelief and grief at Amanda Todd’s death tells us much about how we use social media to connect and how little we understand the consequences of using it.

It’s clear the worldwide web has opened up a Pandora’s Box of issues among our young people, but when adults freely give up their privacy to a company that harvests their personal details for profit, it’s hard to expect children to know any better.

This is not a case for shutting down the internet – as impossible a task as stopping the tides – for the instant knowledge and communication it offers is a huge benefit; nor is it a call to put more rules or laws in place to stop pornography, bullying, the distribution of hate messages and other horrible attributes of anonymous, instant and pervasive communication.

Anti-bullying, child pornography and hate laws backed by enforcement obviously need to be in place, but the problem of child victimization isn’t easily stopped. The more walls that are erected, the more fun the challenge is for hackers and haters, the malware makers, the virus-mongers, the attention-seekers and the sexually perverse. It’s an endless game of Whack-A-Mole, with solutions always just out of reach and more children at risk every day.

It’s better to inoculate children against victimization so they can be more proactive about their own safety. Get them at school, in the home, at church and in the community centre. Children as young as five need to know how the internet works and who profits from it. They need to know what risky behaviour is and the consequences of it. They need to know when online teasing becomes bullying, the difference between strangers and friends; and who to go to if they are being bullied.

Only kids can talk to kids and there are groups like the Children of the Street Society that know what’s going on and what to say so kids will listen.

Get the message out: Education is the only vaccine that will truly work.

S

trength in unity was illustrated Along the Fraser here twice last Jack Emberly month, along with other reasons for connecting with neighbors.

Firstly, when home owners in a quiet residential area around 124th Avenue and 236 Street discovered, by chance, a gravel pit proposal (15 wooded acres) for their neighborhood, they were shocked. Lives wouldn’t be the same. An open mine in a suburb?

Kathy Wagner, a resident told herself, “Council is supposed to serve the needs of the people it represents.” A gravel pit “defies common sense.”

But, common sense doesn’t always make the rules. Wagner’s neighborhood is zoned agricultural, yet gravel pits could be sanctioned by the Agricultural Land Commission and it – not the district – received the proponent’s application. Nobody knew what the ALC would do.

“We had to oppose this as strongly as possible,” Wagner told The News in September. Neighbors began to share concerns – constant noise, lifestyle disruption, loss of property values, damage to a fish stream (Coho Creek), serious health issues posed

by dust.

“It was like dropping a stone into a pond,” noted Craig Speirs. “The ripples went out with a swoosh. Energy coming out of that event spurred a community to organize, and gain a sense of neighbourhood.”

A community determined to “make the bad plan go away,” as Speirs puts it, are a powerful force. Neighbors organized an informational gathering that attracted 150 sympathetic supporters. “It was the first time three-quarters of those folks ever stood on a corner as an activist,” observed Speirs.

More ripples. Residents circulated fliers and wrote letters to council, condemning the gravel proposal and urging it be killed.

Wagner created a Facebook page, which drew 2,800 views. A picture reminiscent of the Lorax at work emerged – of uprooted trees, wildlife threatened, excavators gouging up rock and crushing it, dump trucks rumbling down quiet streets accustomed to cyclists, dog walkers, and kids at play.

“No”, said an awakened neighborhood, now an effective and stubborn bundle of sticks.

Fortuitously, the ALC ordered that a “non farm use application” be filed, one that had to pass district council.

On Oct. 1, opponents flooded council chambers, armed with overwhelming logic against the gravel pit. District staff recommended against it. Would council kill the proposal by not sending it back to the ALC? The answer wasn’t to be learned until it met again, Oct. 9. But before that, the proponent withdrew the application.

So, has the bad plan gone away?

No, says Speirs. “The proponent can

Yes: 21% – No: 79% (100 votes)

re-apply at any time, and current rules still allow gravel proposals in suburbs to leapfrog directly to the ALC.” Speirs thinks the rules should change.

“If council had approved the proposal,” he speculates, “and the ALC okayed it, the district would have had to amend the Soil Removal Bylaw to show a designated gravel use, issue a permit, and amend the Official Community Plan. A whole series of public hearings and notifications would have ensued.”

What should happen instead? “Changes should fit the needs and lifestyle of our citizens,” says Speirs. “Any re-designation, even temporary of agricultural land within a municipality should proceed, firstly, to community offices for their approval. I’d prefer a process identifying our gravel reserves and then that’s it – no others need apply. That would have saved all this hassle.”

Until that happens – if it does – Wagner’s neighbours will keep an eye peeled for bad ideas for their community. They’re talking about forming a neighborhood association.

Nine such groups listed on the district’s website regularly communicate with municipal staff about issues, concerns, and plans that might affect them. It’s a collaborative process the district has promoted since bringing Jim Dyers, a community builder from Seattle, here to present workshops on empowering and enhancing neighborhoods.

Second bundle of sticks: in September, council linked with river stewardship groups to produce a strong counter respond to another bad plan – changes to the Fisheries Act.

The News/letters online comments • Amber Botts: Re: Maple Ridge council looks at new dog bylaw (mapleridgenews.com).

I don’t believe this will stop people from having bad pets and it’s not always necessarily the pets who are bad, but the owners not being proper guardians.

They just won’t pay the fines or license their dogs. Licensing is bogus and is a cash grab for the municipality. Has anyone licensed their horses ever?

Something different needs to be done. My dog was attacked nine years ago approximately (not by a pit bull) and nothing was ever kept up by the SPCA.

Urge others to join in Emberly from p6

The District’s ad hoc fisheries task force was made up of ARMS, KEEPS, environmental consultant Mark Adams, Couns. Cheryl Ashlie and Al Hogarth, and key district staff.

Its final report identified negative environmental, social and economic impacts changes to the act will have on Maple Ridge. That document – approved by all of council except Mike Morden, who fears the feds will shut us out of future discussion – calls on Ottawa to abandon its position of protecting specific fisheries instead of their habitat, retain an adequate number of fisheries officers to enforce law, provide DFO support for restorative and educational programs, and undertake meaningful dialogue with the public.

When you’re shut out of talks about things that affect you, there’s always another way to make your point.

The district has urged other towns to join them in these expectations. Hopefully, we’ll see a bundle of sticks that Ottawa can’t break.

Public art can do a lot of good Editor, The Editor: Re: Artist doesn’t like new public art (The News, Oct. 12).

Having been away a lot recently, I was pleased to get to downtown Maple Ridge and check out the new public art work.

I was very impressed.

As is the case with Vladimir Kolosov, I also am a local artist. However, my opinion of this public art is very different from his, as documented in Phil Melnychuk’s recent write-up.

Though my painting style is representational, I appreciate the modern look and clean lines of this latest art installation. It is very appropriate to the setting, and shows to good effect, backed by the Westminster Savings Credit Union building.

I also did a tour of the inside of the building, and was very taken with the collage-style art pieces in there, and the large wall mural. The whole building and environment has a very unified, contemporary feel. I would recommend a walkabout, both inside and outside, to anyone who has not yet done so.

Westminster Savings is also to be commended on making a large contribution to the project, as corporate support makes a difference to a community’s ability to enhance public spaces in this way.

As a member of the newly-formed

THE NEWS/files

Workers install panels of coloured glass on the new public art project, called Balance, meant to resemble the maple trees after which the district is named.

Pitt Meadows Public Art Steering Committee, this has brought real insight into the careful groundwork that must be laid for selecting sites, projects, and artists for public art.

Public art is not selected randomly or in an off-hand manner.

It is done through a fair, transparent, and open process and a great deal of thought and work goes into it.

(Many of you saw the calls for sub-

missions for this project that went out in the papers.)

Often, such a project is managed by a special group or individual, and the task is challenging, as there are technical and legal considerations among many others.

As is done in Maple Ridge working under the Maple Ridge council, our committee operates as a sub-committee of Pitt Meadows city council.

We are given an annual allocation of public money, and are subject to the same general management and governance guidelines as the council itself.

We take the task very seriously.

Our public art meetings are open to all, and we welcome input from anyone who is interested.

The guidelines and procedures for how the whole public art process works are clearly articulated in publicly accessible documents.

We welcome involvement and feedback.

Public art can do a lot to enhance the enjoyment and liveability of a community – including engagement via lively articles and letters in the paper.

Thanks, Mr. Kolosov, for getting your opinion out there, and stay tuned for when Pitt Meadows launches into its next commissioned work.

‘Would support multi-storey parkade’ Parking from front

If a developer buys a lot and puts up a new building, it would have to provide public parking space, or the district could buy another lot elsewhere.

Jones could accept an arrangement if the district sold a lot and used the money to enhance parking elsewhere, possibly through construction of a multi-storey parkade.

It’s possible someone’s eyeing the Selkirk Avenue lot, near 224th

Street, for a condo development, he added.

If council likes the report, it could also ask for new bids for managing the downtown lots. The report says the service provided by the Downtown Parking Society is overdue for review,” so a public tender will ensure “the best value and most effective use and management of the lots.”

Jones welcomes any review or competitive bid process.

The society collects parking fees and main-

tains the lots and has only one full-time employee. It’s annual profit is about $20,000, which it ships to the District of Maple Ridge, where it goes to the parking fund.

Maple Ridge currently owns eight lots in the downtown.

Five of those lots are managed by the Downtown Parking Society.

Those lots are on Selkirk, North, Brown and 119th avenues, and another at 225th Street, off Lougheed Highway.

‘Not able to speculate on timing of decision’ Water from front

Charges include diverting water without authority, illegal use of water, and installing a pump into the river without authorization.

A notice of intention to enter guilty pleas on some of those charges has been filed for the

next court appearance, Oct. 23.

According to a spokesman, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is still reviewing those same applications for water licences submitted by the six companies

that are all part of the Golden Eagle Group, which operates thousands of acres of berry fields in Pitt Meadows.

Golden Eagle Group is part of the Aquilini Investment Group, which also owns the Vancouver Canucks.

Maple Ridge also owns a lot on 227th Street, with the remaining two lots on Edge Street and North Avenue.

The report says developing a longer-term plan for the lots will ensure their best use.

Jones also pointed out that a long-term goal was to create a multistorey parkade for downtown parking and said money was supposed to be set aside from developers. He estimated that fund to be about $1 million.

ever, as to when the permits will be issued, hasn’t been set, said the ministry.

“In order to maintain fairness in the application process, we are not able to speculate on the timing of this decision.”

As soon as water licences are granted, details are published on the website.

If the permits are granted, the same withdrawal pipe over which charges initially were laid, would be used for pumping the water.

Alouette River Management Society spokesman Geoff Clayton said in a letter to the ministry that the applications seem to be moving toward approval.

But he renewed his call for wireless monitoring of the withdrawals so the public can keep an eye on the flows.

Clayton notes the branch doesn’t have the manpower to do that task and says Golden Eagle Group already uses that technology throughout its berry operations.

Golden Eagle Group said in 2009 that it pumped water from the river briefly to save young cranberry plants during a dry spring.

The counts, considered regulatory offences rather than criminal matters, are filed against five individuals, two companies, as well as six numbered companies, by the Ministry of Environment’s conservation officer service.

Named in the charges are Elisa Aquilini, Francesco Aquilini, Paulo Aquilini, Roberto Aquilini and Richard Matis, as well as CPI – Cranberry Plantation, and Global Coin Corp.

A fire that destroyed a house in Maple Ridge early Wednesday remains under investigation.

The blaze on 118th Avenue, across from Alexander Robinson elementary, was discovered around 2:30 a.m. by tenants.

The owners, who lives above them, were out of the country on a holiday, but expected to return home Thursday.

Fire chief Dane Spence said one of the tenants heard a noise, went to investigate and spotted flames.

The man woke up his wife and young son, then fled the house in their pyjamas.

They escaped without injuries.

“They didn’t have time to take anything but the clothes on their back,” said Spence.

Neighbours called the fire department, which rushed to the scene to

Firefighters battle a fire which destroyed a house in the 23800-block of 118th Avenue on Wednesday. A man, woman and their young son escaped without injuries. find the back of the house completely engulfed in flames.

“It was a very large fire,” said Spence, adding that the flames and water also damaged a second house to the west.

The first house and its contents were severely damaged in the fire and are most likely not salvageable.

The fire department does not know how the fire started, said Spence.

Emergency social services were on hand to help the young couple and their son. The family was left homeless by the fire.

Fire crews worked into the morning, putting out hot spots that continued to ignite in the debris.

While crews were battling the fire on 118th St., the fire department received a second call for a possible fire at an apartment in the downtown core.

“With potentially two structure fires, it tapped out all of our resources in Maple Ridge and we asked for our fire department partners in Pitt Meadows to assist us,” said Spence.

The apartment fire on 223rd Street turned out to be caused by a malfunctioning heating unit.

Once the heating unit was turned off, the smoke in the building dissipated and their fire alarm was reset.

Marijuana, guns found in Ridge house A husband and wife were arrested Monday after police discovered a marijuana grow operation in their Maple Ridge home.

Ridge Meadows RCMP found 9,666 marijuana plants in the Ferguson Avenue property.

Guns were also seized.

The couple, who have two young children, were taken into custody around 4 p.m. after police got a warrant to search the property.

“This was quite a large, sophisticated marijuana growing operation,” said Cpl. Dale Somerville.

“Police have advised the Ministry for Children and Families, as the couple have children who live in the home with them and a marijuana grow op is a very unhealthy environment.”

Robbery charges A man and his common law wife are facing charges in connection with a series of robberies that targeted convenience stores and gas stations in Maple Ridge.

Ridge Meadows RCMP allege the couple’s crime spree began on Monday Sept. 24 at a Mac’s store in the 20300-block of Dewdney Trunk Road.

Cpl. Dale Somerville said the business was targeted on one other occasion.

The Lougheed Mini Mart and a Petro Canada gas station were also robbed twice, while a Husky gas station in the 20600-block of Dewdney Trunk Rd. was held up on Saturday, Oct. 6.

Police finally caught up with the pair on Tuesday, Oct. 9 immediately after an alleged robbery at a Chevron gas station in the 20500-block of the Lougheed Hwy. What is particularly disturbing in this case is the couple had their young children in a vehicle during at least two of the robberies, said Somerville.

“The charges against these two are the direct result of a tireless police investigation,” he added.

The Ministry for Children and Families has been notified.

Ryan Iverson, 31, now faces eight counts of robbery. He appeared in court on Oct. 11 and was remanded in custody until his next appearance on Oct. 18.

His girlfriend, Kristjana Tomashiro, 35, has been charged with two counts of robbery. She appeared in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court on Oct. 11 and was been remanded in custody for a bail hearing on Friday, Oct. 19.

Police seized 9,660 plants from Ferguson Avenue.

Bank robber A 28-year-old man from Pemberton has been arrested for robbing a bank in Maple Ridge.

The man was taken into custody on Friday, Oct. 5 following a two-month investigation by Ridge Meadows RCMP. The man is accused of holding up a Westminster Savings Credit Union in the 22400-block of Lougheed Highway on July 12.

Michael Taylor Lindsay has been charged with armed robbery, but has been released from custody for a court appearance on Nov. 1.

“This was a good investigation that has resulted in a criminal charge being laid,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

“Our Street Enforcement Unit did some excellent follow up after the initial investigation by both our uniformed General Duty and the RCMP’s Integrated Forensic Identification Section.”

Pesky critters Ridge Meadows RCMP want to remind residents that pet doors

can be a possible hazard.

On Monday, police were called to assist a Maple Ridge homeowner after a raccoon

entered their house.

The homeowner was watching TV with the family dogs when the hungry raccoon strolled in and began to attack one of the pets.

The homeowner and dogs fled the residence and police were able to coax the raccoon out.

Mounties, however, are asking residents to remember that pet doors provide unwanted critters easy access into homes.

Police said make sure the doors are secure when your pet is not using it.

Instructor pilot loved what he was doing Jim stevens was a ‘gentle giant’

by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Jim Stevens loved to fly.

The man killed in the float plane accident Monday afternoon was “a man among men and a gentle giant whose instructional capabilities, were beyond exception,” said Chris Georgas, owner of Pacific Rim Aviation Academy.

Stevens, 71, of Surrey,

died when the Cessna 172 float plane, in which he was instructing, flipped over on Pitt Lake.

He had been demonstrating touch-and-go landings when the accident occurred in stormy weather.

His 55-year-old student pilot survived after clinging to the pontoons of the overturned plane for about an hour, until his rescue by a passing boater.

Georgas said Stevens was known at the flight centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport as

‘Arizona Jim’ because of his yearly excursions to the U.S. He also was known as ‘Grandpa Jim’” to his kids and grandchildren and was a friend, “respected colleague and dedicated co-worker.”

Georgas remembered him in his hat, black jacket, life vest with a lunch box and rubber gum boots that he wore anytime his students were about to solo in his blue float plane.

Georgas said the Transportation Safety Board is continuing to investigate. The plane

was barged down from Pitt Lake on Wednesday for inspection at the airport.

Saftey board spokesman Bill Yearwood said weather conditions were challenging at the time with strong wind gusts on the lake. He explained it’s often difficult to exit an aircraft that’s overturned and submerged.

A Comorant search and rescue helicopter and a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft responded to the rescue scene in the Grant Narrows area.

The Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation’s 24th annual gala helped raise more than half of its goal for 2012.

This year foundation committed to raising more than $500,000 this year for equipment at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

The Snow Ball 2012, held Saturday at Meadow Gardens Golf Club – the culmination of 25 onsite volunteers and 10 months of planning by the gala committee – raised a record $238,000.

The previous record was $200,000, set last year.

This year’s From the Heart campaign alone raised more than $35,000, enough to purchase three ultrasound probes for the medical imaging department at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

The probes will ensure that all four of the hospital’s ultrasound suites are fully equipped.

The new cardiac probe and pediatric probe are much smaller in size and will provide accurate imaging in smaller

“These three new probes will help to ensure precise images, which means accurate diagnoses, which translates to better treatment plans for our patients,” said Ron Antalek, chair of the hospital foundation board of directors and emcee for the event.

An anonymous donation of $5,000 was received for the pediatric probe, while the Rai family from H&I Roofing donated $10,000 for the cardiac probe.

The addition $15,000 was donated by others in attendance.

The gala’s live auction raised $17,850, which

was matched by an anonymous donor.

Hammond Jewellers donated jewellry, valued at $3,400. for a raffle.

Fraser River Pile and Dredge was the presenting sponsor for the sixth straight year.

Liz Hall, gala co-chair, thanked the committee for all its work.

Advocate for best possible care A

friend of mine was recently admitted to hospital, the result of compromised breathing that turned out to be blood clots in his lungs.

He has a long list of health issues and unanswered questions that he’s been trying to resolve for the last decade, but the bottom line is that his immune system is severely compromised.

During the consultation with his doctor the morning he was admitted, he was told to stay out of public places and to ensure he was not around sick people.

Just 30 minutes later, another patient was brought in to share his room with a severe cough from an unknown source.

I’m not a doctor, and I’m sure there are complicated scenarios that play out in the admitting departments of hospitals every day, but this oversight seemed particularly risky.

Surely, if a doctor is advising a patient, quite adamantly I might add, that he needs to be very careful about where he goes and with whom he has contact, the same advice should be given to the staff on the hospital floor.

Feeling somewhat threatened by the obvious respiratory problems of his roommate, my friend requested assistance from the nursing station.

Some time later, when a nurse

appeared, he expressed his concern and filled her in on what his doctor’s advice had been. She listened, offered to speak to his doctor, and As we age left.

Quite some Graham Hookey time later, if time can be measured by the coughing spasms of a roommate, the nurse returned to say that his doctor was not in the hospital but she would see what she could do.

Again she disappeared, even as the coughing in the next bed had forced her to move closer to my friend to hear what he was saying.

True to her word, she returned a while later and the other patient was removed.

My friend didn’t know how long the entire process took, as he didn’t have anything around by which to measure time and he, himself, was feeling a bit dopey from the various medications and his general state of exhaustion.

He thought it might have taken a couple of hours to resolve the

issue, and during that time, the room had certainly been filled with whatever virus or bacteria might be affecting the other patient.

After all, his diagnosis was not known yet, so it could be one of many things, including quite contagious pathogens.

The risk of respiratory infection was one issue, but the anxiety this caused him, and the feeling that he had to fight for some common sense to intervene in his situation, left him shaken.

The mistake, perhaps, was that his partner was not with him during this early morning sequence of events, having gone home for sleep after a long night in the emergency ward.

With no one to pursue more immediate action, and to stand at a desk as a reminder of some priority need, the whole sequence of events played itself out over a long and anxious time.

It’s a reminder to all of us that if a loved one is heading to any kind of institution, we need to be attentive to the role of advocating, respectfully but persistently, for the best and most common sense care possible.

Cultivating gratitude

T

here are times when feelings of gratitude just simply well up from inside. Good things happen and you are thankful; an act of kindness makes you feel appreciated; a piece of music lifts you up; the flight of a bird excites you; a beautiful sunset makes it good to be alive.

But not always. And, dare I say, not often.

Acts of Faith Life can be a dreary affair.

Gerard Booy Where are the feelings of thankfulness when you wake up tired with a long day ahead of you, or come home from work with life sucked out of you?

Circumstances can easily and quickly crowd out our sense of gratitude, taking over our minds like an invasive species and destroying any sense of thankfulness that we might have. It doesn’t take much – a few days of rain, a flat tire, a grumpy person at work, a plan that doesn’t work, a friend who doesn’t keep a promise.

Most days, thankfulness is something that has to be cultivated.

The question is how?

For Christians, the answer is closely related to prayer. We express and cultivate thankfulness through prayer. Prayer holds a special place in our lives. It is the most important part of our thankfulness. The words we say most often in prayer is not “please” or “help”, but “thank you.”

We pray not just because we feel thankful, but because we have someone to thank.

Prayer is conversation with God. We open ourselves to God’s presence. And something happens when we do that. We develop a new awareness. We learn to pay attention, to live with our eyes wide open. “Don’t you ever get tired of noticing things?” is the question that one of Lucy Shaw’s friends asked her.

We pray and start to notice the small things Acts from p20

My question is, how can we stop noticing when we are open to God in prayer; when there is so much going on, so much grace, beauty, mercy, and goodness? We pray and start to notice the small things. And our lives are flooded with a sense of abundance.

Cultivating thankfulness through prayer requires time. It is true that we can pray anytime and anywhere. We often pray on the run. But cultivating thankfulness through prayer requires more. We intentionally have to set time aside for prayer, for paying attention.

This is why Sabbath-keeping is such an important spiritual discipline.

I’m not just talking about taking a day off. I’m talking about a day where we rest, cease from our work and worries, and pay attention to God; a day where we embrace God and one another, and feast on God’s goodness.

When we pray, we do more than saying a few words. We offer our lives in love and in service to God and to our neighbour. Cultivating thankfulness through prayer therefore also includes acts of kindness. This does not have to be spontaneous. We often don’t feel like it.

Serving others is a discipline.

You discipline yourself to pay attention to the person in front of you, and to help and serve in practical ways, maybe even tak-

ing the time to pray with that person.

Have you ever experienced the difference that doing a simple act of kindness can make to your own life? How it refreshes your soul, and makes you feel full and whole again? How you do something for someone else and are touched by grace? How you pray with someone and find you own thankfulness restored?

WINTER CAR CARE 2012 Civic models

# Gas Card on ALL new # Gas Card on ALL new

2012 Civic models

Is your car ready for the winter?

It’s important to check that a vehicle is in top shape before the cold weather sets in. Pay special attention to the tires. If tires are bald or their wear is significant, that could prove hazardous on weather-slicked roads. Have tires replaced before the first snowfall. The same can be said when switching from regular performance tires to all-weather or snow tires. Be sure to change all of the tires on the car, even if it is just a front-wheel drive vehicle.

Now is the time to also get a tune-up on the vehicle. Cold weather can make it hard for a car to perform at its best, and any problems should be eliminated before they spiral out of control. Be sure to top off any fluids in the car, especially windshield washer fluid you might need to improve visibility during a storm. Check the function of wiper blades and change them if they aren’t up to snuff. Consult with a mechanic to find out if it is advisable to switch motor oil viscosity during the winter to improve flow through the engine and help with cold start turnover.

It also helps to stock up on supplies should you get stranded or stuck: • Snow shovel • Scraper/brush • Tire chains • Flashlight (with extra batteries) • Abrasive material, like cat litter, sand, or salt • Jumper cables • Flares or reflective triangles • Brightly colored cloth to signal for help • Empty water-tight container with candles, matches or lighter, bottled water, and a snack • Sleeping bags or blankets, ski caps, and mittens • First-aid supplies

Teacher bargaining review

By Tom Fletcher, Black Press

Premier Christy Clark announced a review of teacher bargaining Wednesday, with a goal of reaching a 10-year agreement that would put an end to decades of battles with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Clark and Education Minister Don McRae acknowl-

edged that changing the culture of confrontation between the B.C. government and teachers won’t be easy, and vowed to put even the most contentious issues on the table for discussion. That includes class size and special needs support, key issues in contract disputes and court actions in recent years.

“Our first goal is long-term labour stability with teachers in British Columbia,” Clark said. “Our second goal is to improve how government interacts and works with the BCTF.”

MAPLE RIDGE • PITT MEADOWS

Prepping house for Wet Coast I

t’s back to reality on the Wet Coast this week as the incredible run of sunshine and warm weather has given way abruptly to autumn rain and cooler temperatures.

Mother Nature’s quick shift didn’t give homeowners lounging in the early autumn sun much time to switch into action to winterize their homes and increase the value in their investment.

But now, there’s no denying: it’s time.

“Preventative maintenance is extremely important to save you money in the long run,” says Bill Robinson of Maple Ridge Mechanical, noting it’s time to check both big appliances like your furnace and smaller, sometimes forgotten, items like outdoor taps.

Start with your gas furnace and fireplace. If these heavily used pieces of equipment falter the consequences can be deadly, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning that can cause symptoms ranging from flu-like headaches and nausea to death.

More than 1000 people a year are affected by carbon monoxide poisoning, according to CMHC statistics.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless colourless by-product of fossil fuel combustion that can leak from your gas furnace or fireplace if vents to the outside are blocked. This deadly oversight can be caused by years of poor service or something as simple as a bird or rodent choosing to nest in the vent.

It’s important to hire a qualified li-

Bill Robinson wraps heat tracing around a copper pipe to keep the pipe from splitting in sub-zero temperatures. censed heating contractor to inspect the gas-fired heating devices in your home, Robinson says. Most people can easily change their own filter, which will save you a few dollars, he adds.

While you’re at it, check your carbon monoxide detector – or buy one, says District of Maple Ridge Fire Chief Peter Grootendorst.

“It’s really sad to see when you have whole families affected by carbon monoxide,” he says, and also warns people not to use generators or camp

stoves indoors when the power goes out.

Wood burning fireplaces need to be serviced to prevent creosote buildup that can cause chimney fires. These types of fires have decreased substantially as gas becomes more prevalent.

But the fire department is still called out a half dozen times a year, says Grootendorst.

Once the most important healthrelated inspections are done, it’s on to other repair and maintenance work that will save you money and main-

tain the value of your home.

Robinson says making sure your pipes are properly protected is one of the smartest places to put your money and avoid pipes bursting during cold weather.

Homes made before 1996 likely do not have an automatic frost-free shutoff valve for outside taps, so he advises draining the line and shutting off the water to your home, which is likely located in the basement near the outside faucet.

He gets five to 10 calls a day about this problem alone during a freeze followed by a quick thaw each winter, he says.

“That’s a huge service call you can avoid,” he adds.

Exposed basement and crawl space pipes are another potential cause of burst waterlines in older homes and he advises insulating the pipes, perhaps with some professional guidance.

“It could save you an awful lot in the long run,” he says.

Pipes aren’t the only thing homeowners should consider insulating.

Attics and interior wall insulation can cut heating bills and help keep your home moisture and mould-free. But one of the easiest things to do that can help you keep warm and lower your heating bill is pay some attention to the windows in your home.

If paint is chipping it’s important to repair wood around windows and consider re-caulking or adding weather stripping.

Mike says: “Keep your lawns healthy and reduce winter wear by applying Fall fertilizer now.”

The most effective solution to reducing heating costs would be to install double-pane windows that can reduce heat loss by up to 30 per cent according to CMHC. But this can cost thousands of dollars up front.

Short-term fixes are possible however. Just pick a windy day and check windows and doors for air leaks. An inexpensive solution is shrink-wrap plastic designed specifically for windows.

And there is some financial help out there if you are hoping to make your home more energy efficient. The B.C. government’s LiveSmart BC program of rebates for energy efficient retrofits is still in place, although work must begin 18 months before March 31, 2013.

Homeowners can get rebates on exterior and interior insulation, energy projects, window and door upgrades, and more.

Signs of carbon monoxide poisoning: • low levels – headache, fatigue, shortness of breath, impaired motor functions; • high levels – nausea, dizziness, chest pain, fatigue, poor vision, difficulty thinking, confusion; • very high levels – convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma.

Tien Sher brings micro suites to Surrey

Striking the right Balance Surrey will soon be home to the smallest condominiums in Canada with the opening of Balance, a new development in Surrey City Centre built

by Tien Sher.

The four-storey building will hold 56 suites, ranging from 290 to 653 square feet and starting at $109,900.

“Real estate prices in the Lower Mainland are among the richest in North America,” says Tien Sher president Charan Sethi. “We wanted to build suites that renters could afford to purchase – today.”

Even with their small size, the condos (called micro suites) at Balance will include beautiful features such as

stainless-steel appliances, hardwood floors and a private balcony.

“Balance is unique,” says Sethi.

“No suite comes with a parking stall but they are available for purchase. A 2012 parking study we commissioned showed most purchasers will forego car ownership and its associated costs, in favour of an affordable home purchase.

Balance homeowners’ transportation options include bus, SkyTrain and a carshare vehicle onsite. Who needs a car with such as short walk to municipal amenities, shopping and services?”

Sales are expected to begin in January. For more information, visit www.tiensher.com.

Come together in South Surrey

There’s Something about Woodbridge’s Abbey Road

By Kerry Vital

The original Abbey Road Studios started life as a townhome before becoming the iconic recording mecca it is today. Fans of The Beatles will quickly recognize the name of Woodbridge’s South Surrey townhome development, but Abbey Road is appealing to a much larger audience.

Abbey Road is built in a Georgian style like its namesake, with classic brick detailing, iron gates and window boxes and shutters.

“The architecture is unique,” says sales manager Tara Desmond.

Inside, the two-, three- and fourbedroom floorplans are spacious and open, with nine-foot ceilings and wideplank wood laminate flooring on the main level. Huge windows let the light pour in and bring the outdoors to you, though you may prefer to spend most of your time on your own patio or deck that is tailor-made for coming together and entertaining. Oversized wood baseboards throughout add a touch of understated beauty to the proceedings.

The kitchens are elegant, with quartz countertops, classic shaker-style cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances.

The ceramic and glass tile backsplash is complemented by the under-cabinet lighting, with pot lights illuminating the rest of the space. If you’re looking for a bit more prep space or room to eat a quick meal, Woodbridge is offering the option of including a kitchen island with a breakfast bar in some floorplans.

Relaxation comes standard at Abbey Road with its spacious bathrooms.

Stone countertops are offset by custom shaker-style vanities and his-andhers square undermount sinks in the ensuite, and a deep soaker tub is tailor-made for luxury. The secondary bathrooms feature custom vanities of their own, along with oversized glazed ceramic tile flooring and chic vanity mirrors with solid wood frames, to always put you in the best light.

Abbey Road is just moments from shopping and restaurants at Morgan Crossing and Grandview Corners, leisure and recreation at the golf courses, beaches and parks in the area, and education at nearby schools.

“You’re close to everything but you’re not sitting inside the amenities,” says Desmond. “You’re always close to the action.”

At Abbey Road itself, there is a community room perfect for parties and a traditional English garden with

“

You’re always close to the action,” says Abbey Road sales manager Tara Desmond. a children’s play area, along with the gorgeous mature landscaping that surrounds the development.

“The amenity space is a place to meet people, have a glass of wine,” Desmond says.

Woodbridge is offering a purchase incentive for the month of October.

Buyers are given a $10,000 credit that can be used towards the purchase of upgrades like ceiling speakers or crown mouldings or professional series kitchen appliances.

Prices start from the mid$300,000s. For more information, visit abbeyroadliving.com or call 604-5420660.

Submitted photos

The homes at Woodbridge’s Abbey Road showcase wide-plank wood laminate flooring throughout the main ilving areas, above, and tons of natural light from the huge windows, top. Located in a great neighbourhood in Morgan Heights, Abbey Road will appeal to homeowners of all ages.

VICTORIA – Retired judge Thomas Braidwood is “very pleased with the response” to his recommendations on the use of Taser stun guns by police in the wake of Robert Dziekanski’s death in 2007.

Braidwood testified Tuesday before a legislature committee, after a senior RCMP official reported on training and procedure changes that led to an 87 per cent reduction in use of Tasers to subdue people.

sized that he stands by the core finding of his inquiry, which is that police in B.C. should continue to use them with new training and strict new rules. Those province-wide rules include requiring police to determine that the subject is causing bodily harm or is about to, and mandate that “de-escalation” or crisis intervention techniques be taught and used before a Taser is.

He described a basic technique that could have been used when four Richmond RCMP officers approached a distraught Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport. If one of those officers had simply pulled up a chair and sat down, Braidwood said, Dziekanski would likely be alive today.

Similar techniques can defuse even violent domestic disputes, rightly considered by police to be their most dangerous calls, said Braidwood, a former prosecutor who went on to serve as a B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justice.

Mason takes 2nd at MJt event

by Robe r t M an ge lsdor f staff reporter

Maple Ridge’s Keanna Mason finished second overall at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Prodigy One-Day Series at Pagoda Ridge Golf Club in Langley on Oct. 6, as she fired a single round of 78 on the 18-hole par 72 course.

Mason’s round put her two strokes off the lead, behind 13-year-old winner Ashley Cai of Vancouver.

Mason, 16, won MJT’s previous One-Day Series at Pitt Meadows Golf Club last month.

Maple Ridge’s James Baker and Ryan Hunt of Pitt Meadows both competed in the Boys’ 17 to 19 Division, finishing in the top 10.

Baker, 18, had a round of 82 to finish seventh, while 17-year-old Hunt fired an 83 to finish tied for eighth.

Victor Baptiste, 17, of Oliver and Austin Hughes, 17, of Delta, shared the top spot shooting in the division, both shooting round of 75. Roy Kang of North Vancouver had the low score in the Boys’ U-14 Division with a 69, while Ian Kim won the Boys’ 14 to 16 Division with a round of 73.

Soaker Sunday Sam Barron of the West Coast Auto Group Football Club’s U-18 Silver team, dekes out Stu Coulson, goalkeeper for the Coquitlam Metro-Ford U-17 Rangers, to score during a wet and rainy game at the Albion sportsfields on Sunday.

Kwon tops in Canada Pitt Meadows’ Kevin Kwon is the top player in the country on Golf Canada’s CN Future Links National Junior Boys Order of Merit. After seven events this golf season, Kwon has amassed 3,215.00 points.

While Kwon failed to win a single order of merit event this year, he finished second twice, and had two thirdplace finishes as well. Kwon was a consistent competitor this season, with his lowest placing coming at the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship in August, where he finished tied for 14th.

Loss puts playoffs almost out of reach for Pitt Marauders junior varsity squad falls 40-7 to Mission at home Wednesday

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

The Pitt Meadows secondary Marauders junior varsity football team couldn’t stop the Mission Roadrunners at home Wednesday afternoon, falling 40-7 to one of the top teams in the AA Eastern Conference.

The loss means Pitt Meadows will have a difficult road ahead if they want to see the postseason, with their record falling to 1-3.

Marauders coach Kris Little said his team stuck to their game plan Wednesday afternoon, but were unable to slow down Mis-

sion star Jesse Walker.

“He is the most dominant player I have ever seen at the junior varsity level,” said Little after the game. “I couldn’t even get upset at our guys because they were doing everything we asked of them.

You just can’t stop him.”

Walker plays quarterback, safety, kicker and kick returner for Mission, and had another dominant performance Wednesday.

Walker rushed for close to 300 yards at quarterback, ran for four touchdowns and threw for another.

“He’s a very smart player,” said Little. “He runs like a gazelle, but he’ll wait for his blocks and just explode when he needs to.”

Despite the lopsided score, the Marauders were able to put up significant yardage against Mission, but were unable to punch the ball in deep to scoring position.

Quarterback Jake Schuster had a 65-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Beaubien, in his first game back from a concussion.

Defensive lineman Shaq Naicker led the Marauders defence with two sacks and a score of tackles, while Mack Dhami played both sides of the ball at linebacker and running back after returning from injury.

“He’s dislocated his knee twice in the last four months, but it’s all fixed now,” said Little. “By the end of the game, you could see he had his confidence back.”

The loss came less than a week after the Marauders dominant 64-0 thrashing of Sooke’s Edward Milne Wolverines in exhibition play.

With the loss to the Roadrunners, the junior Marauders will be hard pressed to make the playoffs with their 1-3 record. But they’re not out of it yet, said Little.

“We’ll have to win out in our last two games,” said Little “We’ll need some help from the other teams too. But we’re staying positive.”

Only the top three teams in the seven-team AA Eastern Conference will get to move on to the playoffs.

The Marauders face the 3-1 Robert Bateman Timberwolves next Wednesday on the road before returning home to face the 2-2 GW Graham Grizzlies on Oct. 31.

Seniors look for first win The Marauders varsity football squad return home for their first league game of the season at Pitt Meadows Community Sports Field tonight (Friday), as they take on the undefeated Rick Hansen Hurricanes under the lights at 7:30 p.m.

The Marauders are 0-2 after last week’s 36-29 loss to the Robert Bateman Timberwolves, and will be chasing their first regular season win.

The Hurricanes are 2-0 in league play, and are coming off a 24-7 win over the Langley Saints.

Only three regular season games remain for the Marauders, who are tied for last place in the B.C. AA Eastern Conference, however, all three of those game will be at home at Pitt Meadows secondary.

Three-way tie atop Haney Masters’ league staff reporter

Three rinks are locked together in first place, five games into the Haney Masters’ Curling League at Golden Ears Winter Club.

The rinks of Lorne Fletcher, Wayne Chin, and Jack Stadel are deadlocked at four wins and only one loss as they jumped into the early lead in the round robin competition consisting of 13 teams.

stay tied for top spot.

Playing Peter Koehler’s rink, Fletcher executed a brilliant take out on his last rock to grab an 8-6 victory.

Koehler, along with George Lagerstrom (third), Barry Elson (second) and Bob Asher (lead) had roared back from a huge deficit to almost pull off a come-from-behind victory. However, with Koehler lying two, Fletcher took both rocks out on his final stone to preserve the win.

With an increased number of members, 13 teams are vying for top spot in the round robin competition with draws

Willard, Michael 58 years, August 19, 1954, surrounded by the love of his family slipped peacefully away on Monday, October 15, 2012 after a lengthy battle with multiple health conditions.

Mike will forever be missed by his wife, and best friend of more than 30 years, Sherry – no one knew Mike better than her. Above all Mike was a devoted family man whose pride and joy were his two daughters, Corrine (Curtis) Arthur and Nicole (Steve) Nickel and his grandchildren Tyson and Addison. Mike had a larger than life personality and loved to tease his motherin-law, June, and brother-inlaw, Michael (Lee-Ann) Costa and nephew, Joseph. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews. Mike was a social butterfly who maintained friendships that spanned decades - and still he was always seeking a new acquaintance to chat up. His sense of humor sometimes surprised, but more often, charmed everyone he met. It is being sorely missed since he left this world to soar with those we’ve loved and lost including his father-in-law, Silvestro and brother-in-law, Eric. Mike/Dad/Papa thank you for loving us enough to take us through the days ahead. We’ll take you with us everywhere, especially to Keremos. The family has begun to fulfill our promise to Dad that we take care of mom.

In lieu of flowers donations in Mike’s memory can be made to a trust fund at TD Canadatrust 9104-6528343.
