G20 Summit

Ridge woman shot with rubber bullets Natalie Gray charged after what she and her family describe as a peaceful protest in Toronto.

by Amy Steele asteele@mrtimes.com

A

Maple Ridge mother is horrified that riot police fired rubber bullets at her 20-yearold daughter, causing injuries, then arrested her and locked her up for over a day after she participated in a peaceful demonstration at the G20 summit Sunday.

Elizabeth Rosenau doesn’t believe there was any justification for what happened to her daughter Natalie Gray, who weighs 120 pounds.

“I haven’t been able to sleep.

I’m in such shock and disbelief,” said Rosenau. “Having spent two days watching and re-watching the videos of the detention centre protest I can only say that my whole family’s faith in the police

is deeply shaken. I cannot believe this happened in Canada, a place that people come because we have freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, a decent law enforcement system and justice for all. To watch that footage made me deeply ashamed of the police state that my daughter had to witness and be part of.”

Rosenau said her daughter was “incredibly shaken” and was “weeping” on the phone when she called to say what had happened.

“She told me she felt this had changed her forever. I feel like I’ve been changed forever too,” she said.

Gray, who is a former Laity View Elementary student and French immersion student at Maple Ridge

Secondary School, was one of the people who showed up to protest at the detention centre where police were taking protestors on July 27.

Gray e-mailed The TIMES to say she was hit in the sternum and elbow by rubber bullets fired by riot police (The photo on this page shows the wound Gray suffered after being hit by a rubber bullet).

She said she fell to the ground and was then “shoved into the pavement” by police, arrested and then forced to spend 30 hours in the detention centre. Gray recorded an audio statement after her arrest, which she sent to The TIMES. In it she said the protest at the detention centre was “entirely peaceful.”

“We were chanting and singing and clapping our hands,” said Gray.

Things deteriorated after a couple of unmarked vans drove up and “police or military” ran into the crowd and grabbed a couple of people.

After that the riot police started moving forward towards the protestors.

Gray was close to the front of the crowd and she became worried the riot police would use tear gas and grabbed a gas mask out of her bag because she suffers from asthma. However, she said she was complying with police orders and moving backwards. She then got shot twice with what she believes were rubber bullets. After the second bullet she attempted to get up but got shoved back down and police restrained her with zip ties around her hands.

“I was absolutely terrified,” she said in the audio statement, adding she lost control of her bladder.

“I was in a lot of pain,” she said.

“Generally the officers didn’t seem to care or take note of how injured I was.”

Gray said she wasn’t told why she was being arrested at first but was eventually charged with obstructing a police officer.

“I wasn’t really sure what my charge could be because I was compliant with their orders when they shot me,” she said.

Kid loses locks for teacher

by Troy Landreville editorial@mrtimes.com

Connor Liversidge let his golden locks grow over the past few months, not as a fashion statement, but as a way of supporting a favourite teacher in her fight against cancer.

Connor achieved his goal of raising $300 for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) by June 28.

Subsequently, the Blue Mountain Elementary student had his head shaved Tuesday in honour of his Grade 6 teacher, Sherrie Pedersen, who, due to her illness, had to go on leave in February.

That’s about when Connor decided he was going to wait until the end of the year to have his hair shaved off.

Recently, Pedersen received a phone call from Connor’s mom Tricia.

“She called me about 9 o’clock at night, so I thought ‘Oh! What’s this all about?” related Pedersen, diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

“When she told me Connor had set a goal of $300 I thought ‘Oh my God, that’s fantastic.’ It was very touching...very, very touching.”

The head shaving, done by rookie barbers Pedersen and Connor’s schoolmate Sam Shin, took place

during a talent show in the school gymnasium on the final day of classes before summer break.

Ever the entrepreneur, Connor sold tickets to classmates, who snapped them up for the

more proud of not only her son, but the Blue Mountain Elementary community as a whole.

“He’s a pretty great kid,” Tricia said. “For a small school, it’s pretty amazing how much community

opportunity to shave his head. The money collected is earmarked for the CCS. Pedersen said the support she’s received from students and staff has been “really wonderful.”

“I’ve got cards from all the kids, calls from parents, visits from parents,” she said. “It’s been really supportive.”

Tricia was on hand for the head shaving, and said she couldn’t be

support and fundraising kind of things happen around here. There’s support here for the Terry Fox run, there’s another class that was doing a fundraiser for the SPCA...”

Tricia said Connor’s hair hasn’t been this short for years.

“I don’t know if he’s ever had it this short since he was tiny,” she noted. With a laugh, Tricia added, “he looks a little bit like [his] papa.”

Closure students face life at new schools

by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

T

wo more schools closed this week in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district as the enrolment drops in the centre of the school district while other areas suffer from overcrowded schools.

Riverside and Mount Crescent elementary schools officially closed their doors to elementary students on June 30, but both will be used by the school district for other purposes.

In fall, 2007, three schools were named for closure - Mount Crescent, Riverside and Webster’s Corners. At that point, no schools were closed - the emphasis at the time of that decision was that no schools would be closed “at that time” and the board of education wanted more information before making a decision.

A year ago in the spring, the board of education brought the subject back on the table and went through another round of consultation with the public considering the closure of only Mount Crescent and Riverside.

This time the hard decision was made and the axe fell on Dec. 9 when the board of education decided to close the two schools.

Outgoing Riverside principal Tanya Dailey has tried to keep the school running business as usual right to the end.

“We’ve tried to keep this status quo in recognition that this is hard for some kids,” Dailey said. “We owe the absolute best for these kids.”

Dailey said the pictures will stay in the hallways and former students will be welcome to come back to visit.

In recent years, the school district has closed three other schools: Meadowlands Elementary, Maple Ridge Primary and Thornhill Elementary, but these building were sold.

Meadowlands become Greybrook Academy, and Maple Ridge Primary became the Colleen Findlay Place.

Since then the ministry has put stricter guidelines in place around selling off closed schools, and the two schools in Maple Ridge will be retained for other district purposes.

Riverside Elementary is going to turn into Riverside Centre which will house international education, adult education and Ridge Meadows College. Topia, a Korean group, will stay at the school at least for the time being.

At Mount Crescent, because it is next door to Maple Ridge Secondary, many of the rooms

will be used for high school instruction allowing for the removal of 21 of the 23 portables from MRSS. Half the students from Riverside Elementary are going to Hammond Elementary this fall and half to Maple Ridge Elementary. The students have had visits to the two schools and were invited to their “fun day,” Dailey said.

Riverside had only 99 students this year while it could accommodate 471 students - it was at 21 per cent capacity.

Riverside’s population has dropped dramatically over the years, partly because of the lack of children in the area but also partly because it was named for closure in 2007 and partly because of the cancellation of its French immersion program.

The dropping population made the viability of the school uncertain, but after the decision was made last December that the school would close and the uncertainty was over, the mood changed to “let’s move on,” Dailey said.

The school district has done a good job listening to the concerns of all involved, and both a parent transition committee and a staff transition committee were formed, she added. “(The staff) are sad - this their school, we are a community,” Dailey said.

The library books and other resources will be dispersed in the school district as needed, Dailey said, but each student was also allowed to choose a book to take along to his or her new school.

School enrolment is expected to keep dropping in SD42 until 2018. In the 2009/10 school year, 981 students entered kindergarten in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows schools, but with 1,551 students graduating, there are fewer kids entering than leaving the system.

The school district has been informally split into three sections: west (Pitt Meadows), centre and east. Some of the schools in the east are over capacity, for example, Albion Elementary is at 128 per cent and Alexander Robinson is at 107 per cent capacity.

Only Blue Mountain and Webster’s Corners are low in enrolment - they are about 50 per cent full. The school district made a lot of adjustments to its catchment boundaries this year in order to direct some students away from the overcrowded schools into ones with space.

The Ministry of Education had made it clear to the school district that it wouldn’t allow for more schools to be built in the district until some of the

Secretary-treasurer Wayne Jefferson has rejigged the fiveyear capital plan putting a new school in Albion South at the top of the wish list. (Last year an expansion to Samuel Robertson was at the number one priority as it opened five years ago with portables on site already.) The school district owns a seven-acre school site at 24137 104 Ave..

In the centre of the school district (this includes Fairview, Riverside, Hammond, Maple Ridge, Laity View, Glenwood, Alouette, Mount Crescent, Eric Langton, Harry Hooge, Yennadon and Golden Ears elementary schools), the entire school population is at 70 per cent capacity - there were 4,257 students enrolled at these schools while they could have accommodated 6,112 students.

- all within a little more than a kilometre radius - were at 60 per cent capacity, in other words, they had a combined student population of 1,060 students while they could have fit 717 more students into the four schools.

This school year, the enrolment at the Mount Crescent was 166 but the Ministry of Education predictions showed it wouldn’t increase over the next 10 years and the predicted enrolment for 2020 was 178 students. It was at 41 per cent capacity this year but the school could have fit 401 students.

During the last school closure process, the school and the rest of the district rallied to keep their doors open. They were spared in 2007, but not this time around.

“The sadness was more after the announcement,” outgoing Mount Crescent principal Lisa Lawrance said. But once it was announced, the attitude changed to “we have to move on and we have a lot of work to do.”

Of the students at Mount Crescent, about 100 are going to Glenwood Elementary as are several teachers and special education assistants.

In the end, the process has resulted in a partial amalgamation of the two schools.

Mount Crescent Elementary students made a time capsule - to be opened in 2030 - and compiled some photos from over the years. These along with this year’s yearbook were donated to the Maple Ridge Museum.

Dave Rempel, currently a school board trustee and one trustee on the board when the decision came down to close the schools, was principal of Mount Crescent Elementary from 1989 to 1995. Rempel said he has many good memories from being at the helm of the school.

As the principal, he organized the school into fine arts “families” whereby each “family,” composed of students from all grades, worked on their own specific project.

“The fine arts is such an

equalizer and stretcher of intelligence,” Rempel said. “And yet, it’s the first thing we cut in schools.”

Sieglinde Stieda was teacherlibrarian at Mount Crescent from 1990 to 2003 and she decided to do a photography project with her family of students.

Being next to Maple Ridge Secondary, the students were able to access the photo lab in the high school with the help of one of the high school teachers.

But the “family” units in the school did more than teach children about fine arts - the older children took “ownership” of the younger students, Rempel said, and the discipline and vandalism problems they had at the school started to wane.

Stieda said there was something special about Mount Crescent and a lot of it stemmed from the collaboration and camaraderie of teachers.

After the charter of rights instilled the right for people with disabilities not to be discriminated against, there was a push for integration of students with disabilities into regular classrooms.

Mount Crescent launched into a project called Kids for Kids that Stieda believes helped change attitudes about children with physical disabilities.

Four students from Mount Crescent attended a public panel on the rights of children with handicaps hosted by the U.N. Association for Canada.

This resulted in a video project called Kids for Kids.

“I think it set the tone at Mount Crescent that being different is okay,” Stieda said.

“The atmosphere that grew (was that) all the children are your responsibility.”

Years later, Stieda is still in contact with some students - many who had learning difficulties and challenging backgrounds - and many have become successful adults.

Last Friday was the last day of school for Mount Crescent Elementary after more than half a century of operation.

Jan Unwin, superintendent of schools in SD42, said she is “so proud” to be working in the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district as she watched “an entire community come together and work to ensure that a very difficult situation turned into a very positive result for students.”

“It couldn’t have happened had we not worked collaboratively with the students front and foremost in importance,” Unwin said.

One year later, Golden Ears Bridge tolls hiked

by Amy Steele asteele@mrtimes.com

G

olden Ears Bridge tolls will be increasing as of July 15, with the increase ranging from zero to 15 cents.

Tolls for most passenger vehicles, vans, SUVs, trucks and taxis will increase by five cents. Tolls for light duty commercial vehicles with fewer than five axles, cars towing a trailer, school buses, motorhomes and intercity buses or coaches will increase by 10 cents. For articulated trucks or tractor-trailers the increase will be 10 cents for registered vehicles and 15 cents for unregistered vehicles.

Unregistered motorcyclists will pay another five cents but registered motorcyclists will

pay the same.

TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie described the increases as “inflationary adjustments.”

“It won’t be a huge imposition on anybody but it’s helping us generate the cash we need to pay for the bridge,” said Hardie.

In a June article in the Vancouver Sun Hardie was quoted as saying reducing tolls and “marketing’ the bridge could be an option TransLink looked at to increase traffic volumes if they didn’t reach anticipated levels.

However, Hardie said that was only ever an option if traffic volumes continued not to increase and wasn’t something that TransLink had committed to.

“I said an option is to look at the possibility of lowering tolls at certain times of the day

or certain times of the week if that’s required and desirable to build traffic volumes but I’ve also said that is an option that is not actively being considered at this moment especially in light of the fact that the traffic volumes have been trending up in a very healthy fashion in recent months,” said Hardie.

Hardie said it was “very clear” in the business model for Golden Ears Bridge there would be regular “inflationary adjustments.”

“I think really when you step back and look at what a new bridge like Golden Ears has presented to people it gives them options and the people who use the bridge use it because there’s a value they receive in return for the value they pay and that value is not diminished in any shape or form by this really minimal

adjustment in the tolls,” he said.

Hardie said in May there were around 26,000 vehicles taking the bridge compared to around 21,000 in January.

TransLink had estimated 29,400 vehicles would cross the bridge daily in a 2004 projection.

“Certainly the trend is extremely positive, so positive in fact that the prospect of some strategic toll pricing adjustment are not at this moment live options. They remain to us as they will always be there as option,” said Hardie. “It’s not a tool we’re reaching for at this moment.”

Parking fees jump

Parking fees on Canada Day went up 50 per cent, or an extra $1 a day, at TransLink’s

park and ride lots at West Coast Express stations and on Scott Road. But the regional transportation authority won’t be getting the extra revenue from Maple Ridge resident Brian Gibson, who takes the commuter train downtown Monday to Friday but is no longer going to use the parking lot. “That’s a huge increase,” said Gibson.

“A lot of people I know that ride the train and park are quite upset,” said Gibson, 37.

“They’re quite mad.”

While the daily increase is only from $2 to $3, Gibson pointed out his monthly parking permit would go from $40 to $60.

Because Gibson is on an employee-pass program, he is going to continue taking the 45-minute West Coast Express trip.

However, he says other people are going to take transit to the train or find free parking on neighbouring streets.

Cody Webber of Coquitlam didn’t know there was a fee increase but wasn’t happy to hear about it.

Monday was his first day on the West Coast Express, which he plans to use to get downtown for cooking classes for the next six months.

“They’re pretty much hammering me on everything,” said Webber, 23, who paid $6.75 per direction to ride the train. “You want me to use mass transit and not only are you charging me but you’re charging me more to be ecofriendly and try to save money and time?” he said.

“It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Police strip-searched local G20 Protest, From Page 1 She was eventually taken to the hospital for medical attention and then to the detention centre where she was interrogated by three men and then strip-searched by four female officers. Gray said she was in “severe, massive pain” because she didn’t receive painkillers often enough.

She said after the strip search she was made to put back on her urinesoaked pants because there weren’t enough clothes for all the people that had been detained.

Gray said the toilets in the makeshift cells could be fully viewed by police officers.

Eventually she was able to see a lawyer and was released on bail after a relative came to Toronto and put up a $1,000 surety.

Gray described her time at the detention centre as “incredibly dehumanizing.”

Gray is currently under house arrest in Toronto at a friend’s house until her August court appearance.

Meanwhile, in Maple Ridge her mother can’t believe what happened. She described her daughter as an “outspoken, strong-willed, passionate girl” but she said she’s never been arrested before and has never been violent.

She said her daughter

became a committed activist after a trip to the Alberta oilsands while working for Greenpeace.

She described how her daughter has decided not to get a driver’s licence because she wants to only use public transit or walk or cycle to be environmentally friendly.

Rosenau said her daughter “They were protesting at the detention centre because they felt their friends were having their rights violated.”

Elizabeth Rosenau is becoming a talented poet as well.

Rosenau said she participated in protests in the late 1970s as a university student and “the police stood by and we protested peacefully.”

Rosenau pointed out her daughter and the other protestors weren’t protesting at the G20 site.

“They were protesting at the detention centre because they felt their friends were having their rights violated and were in there illegally,” said Rosenau. “The leaders of the G20 summit were not under threat.”

The TIMES attempted to get comment from the integrated security unit for the G20 summit but a call wasn’t

returned by press time on Wednesday afternoon.

More than 900 people were arrested last weekend during the G20 summit.

On Tuesday the Toronto Police Service Chief Bill Blair announced to the media there would be a review of “all aspects” of the G20 summit’s policing.

Both Amnesty International and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association have called on the federal government to conduct an independent review of security tactics during the G20 summit.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association released a report this week based on first-hand observations of more than 50 human rights monitors.

“It is the opinion of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association that police conduct during the G20 Summit was, at times, disproportionate, arbitrary and excessive,” said an association media release.

“In our view, despite instances of commendable and professional conduct, the policing and security efforts, especially after 5 p.m. on June 26 and June 27, failed to demonstrate commitment to Canada’s constitutional values.”

There’s also a Facebook group calling for a public inquiry into the G20.

Crime

Whonnock body exhumed Police still haven’t determined if the male found in a shallow grave on a property in Whonnock met with foul play or not.

A police dog found the body on June 24 when Ridge Meadows RCMP officers were executing a search warrant in the 28000 block of 112 Avenue. Police also found 1,000 marijuana plants inside the residence.

Police say the body in the shallow grave had been there for “some time” and was exhumed by forensic specialists. A coroner conducted an autopsy on June 29 but the cause of death still hasn’t been determined. Police are awaiting toxicology results.

Police haven’t confirmed the identity of the body yet.

“Until we can determine what caused this death, we’re still treating it as suspicious,” said Superintendent Dave

Walsh. “Our investigators are working many hours on this case. Once we know the identity of the male, and cause of death, we’ll know what direction this file is going to take.”

Fifty-five-year-old Stuart Ernest Gardner has been charged with neglect of a dead body, production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Gardner has been charged previously with theft under $5,000, personation with intent to gain advantage, driving while prohibited and impaired driving. ◗ In other police news, a 25-year-old Maple Ridge man has been charged with hit and run under the Motor Vehicle Act after a car crash Tuesday evening. The crash occurred at Lorne Avenue and 207 Street at 8:30 p.m. on June 29. The man was

turning left off of Lorne Avenue when his car collided with a car heading south on 207 Street. The man then raced away from the scene but some citizens notified a nearby police officer and the man was caught in the 20900 block of Golf Lane a few minute after the incident.

Police discovered he was driving contrary to the restrictions of his learner’s driver’s licence. No one was injured in the crash. ◗ A 50-year-old homeless man will likely face charges of assault and assaulting a peace officer after hitting a man with a stick and hitting two police officers as they were arresting him.

Police got a call at 11:15 a.m. on June 28 by some workers on a property in the 22700 block of Lougheed Highway about a homeless man in a vehicle. When the workers approached the man

he hit one of them with a stick so they called police.

When police arrived the man started to run away. The police officers caught him and he then struck at two of them while they arrested him.

❚ Our View

Case puts system on trial The facts that emerged this week in the B.C. Court of Appeal’s review of Ivan Henry’s 1983 rape conviction suggest it is not just Henry’s case that should be revisited, but the larger system that allowed it to remain unchallenged.

When Henry was dragged into a police line-up after his original arrest, he was the only man who was restrained, the only one struggling against the police holding him, and the only one who was short with curly red hair. Despite this glaringly flawed process, only half the victims identified him. That he was convicted based on this and similarly problematic evidence is outrageous.

Even more stunning, however, is the fact that for 26 years, no one would listen to his appeals. Any reasonable person reviewing the facts dispassionately would recognize that at the very least Henry should have a new trial. The fact no one did suggests there is something wrong.

It’s possible that Henry’s was an anomalous case, that his was the one time someone fell through the cracks in an otherwise fair system, but this cannot be assumed without further examination. Our response to this file must not stop with the appeal court’s ultimate decision. Let’s establish how it happened and ensure it never happens again.

When is writer’s due date?

Editor: Re: Don’t fear change with hospital, TIMES Mailbag One thing that does not change is the need for maternity and pediatric services in Maple Ridge. Rather than go to “Burnaby or the other side of the country,” the women of Maple Ridge would rather have “everything here in a local hospital” — specialized equipment, specialized personnel and best care.

Unless Mr. Banov can tell us his due date, he’s an amateur on the subject.

Grads’ mural inspires readers

Deal of the Week

rade 7 students Avery Cantello and Nancy Hong left a going away present at Albion Elementary school.

With help from some fellow students, Avery and Nancy put their formidable art skills to use by designing and creating a mural in a common area in the school.

“I’ve kinda thought of coming back 20, maybe 30 years later and saying ‘I did that,’ so many years ago,” Avery said. “That would be kind of awesome.”

The artwork, with a theme of reading and literacy, took about a year and a half to complete.

Avery describes the mural as a dream world for kids, “where the things that you think would be impossible and aren’t true in your life come to life and are true in these storybooks. It’s just a world that a kid would like to live in.”

DENTAL HEALTH Function before Looks

The teeth in the back (molars) are primarily for chewing and processing food. It is no wonder that the teeth also are well built and have a thick layer of enamel. Losing these teeth can change the appearance, one can have, the look of sunken cheeks making the cheekbones seem higher (great! if you are a supermodel). This look while may look appealing on the runway, but its functionally useless.

Loss of teeth means loss of bone (its automatic hormonal control)

Oz in panto-style

SPECC-tacular Productions dares you to enter the Emerald City at the ACT this July. Here you will meet all the zany characters of The Wizard of Oz. This production is set to the beat of popular music and songs and is filled with swirling dancers, impossible feats of acrobatics and is punctuated with ad-lib humour that will have you falling out of your seats.

Fashioned after the popular pantomimes of Britain, this is a show that encourages audience participation. At less than two hours, with an interval, it’s just the right length for youngsters.

Susan Mitchell is the director of choreography.

She, along with Emily Verhulst, Rachel Allan, Dana Sorensen and Jacqlyn Rempel from the Maple Ridge Dance Circle, have worked to create high-energy dance routines for the show.

Lydia Querengesser is perfect as the girl who wants to get back to Kansas to her Auntie Em (Pauline de Silva) and Uncle Henry (Marcel Renaud) and gives a great rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

The Cowardly Lion (Patrik Larsen), the Tin Man (Michael Stusiak) and the Scarecrow (Rebecca Owens)

make a great team and the show has everything you’d want including comically sounding Munchkins, a suitable nasty Wicked Witch played by Lynda Hufsmith and even a real Toto played

by Roxi. Su Wolfe, who plays Glinda the good witch and is also director of the show, along with Ed Marshall, who also plays the Wizard, will dazzle you with their performances.

Among these quirky principal characters there is one that stands out in particular. It is the character of Squeaker, the Wicked Witch of the West’s side-kick.

Squeaker is played by Dawn Bradshaw and she has made

this one of the funniest and most memorable characters.

Then there are the Witch’s Minions, played by Lynsey Teasdale, Natalie Schreiber and Laura Smith. The whole chorus of the show includes Brittany Bento, Laura Dand, Joyce Gillespie, Arianna Ervin (who played Cinderella in our last Panto), Tamsin Davies, Kristin Stusiak and Ami Owens. ◗ Show dates and times: July 6 to 11 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors. To order tickets by phone or for further information call The ACT box office at 476-2787.

It’s a tradition that everyone runs around the gazebo to the song “Circle Pitty.”

For people gardening with annual flowers, July is a peaceful month involving little more than watering and doing deadheading to keep blooms coming.

Geraniums, marigolds, sweet peas and dahlias need the most frequent attention. Big, double annual flower-heads usually fall apart after rain and will attract slugs if not deadheaded.

But during summer it’s easy to get distracted by visitors and holidays.

Hanging baskets are usually the first containers to dry right out. Watering them aloft won’t work because dry soil shrinks away from the side of the pot, making a circular channel that water floods through..

But dunking hanging baskets deeply in a laundry tub, sink or big pan of water for a couple of hours will bring them back to normal.

This works with standing containers too - provided they’re big enough to lift.

People with perennial gardens can find extra things

On Deck Rage 99 wins Lower Mainland Cup

Rage 99 went 6-1 to take Gold at the Lower Mainland Cup. The Rage played their last tournament of the year in Vancouver. The Rage had to go through the back to win it.

The Rage won three games Saturday and three games Sunday. In the championship games they had to beat the South Delta Invaders twice.

The Rage mercied the invaders in the first game 14-2.

The players were C.C. Chubey, Rachel Starrett, Kate Meredith, Zaiah Power, Kayla Maxwell, Brittney Gumbert, Natasha Nakonechny, Sarah Mior, Marlee Grant, Taiya Dionne, Emily Morrison.

On Sunday, they travelled to Penticton to face the South Okanagan Tigers for another doubleheader.

Lacrosse

Burrards’ playoff hopes alive The Maple Ridge Burrards faced the Burnaby Lakers twice over the past week losing their first game 10-6 at the Bill Copeland Arena and winning the second one 8-4 in front of a home audience.

In Western Lacrosse League action on Friday night, the Burrards took the upper hand in the first period scoring three times to Burnaby’s one goal with goals from Peter Tellis, Curtis Dickson and Jarrett Davis. But Burnaby was able to shut out the Burrards during the second period, and scored six times – the period ended with Burnaby leading 7-3.

The Burrards rallied in the third period with goals from Randy Daly, Joel Dalgarno and Davis, but the Lakers were able to score as many goals as the Burrards and the game ended 10-6.

The Maple Ridge Burrards got their revenge on Sunday night at Planet Ice scoring twice as many goals as the visiting team. It helped when their number one goalie Ron Schibild was back in the net, said head coach Daren Fridge, and with the combination of the defensive keeping shooters to the side and Schibald in the net, the team was

able to beat the Lakers.

The first period ended tied 2-2 after Joel Dalgarno scored two times. The Burrards dominated in the second period with Andrew Murphy, Dickson and Davis scoring a goal apiece. The second period ended 5-3 for the Burrards.

The third period belonged to Davis as he shot three goals past the Burnaby goalie – the last one shorthanded and unassisted to end the game 8-4. Davis is having an “amazing” season, Fridge said.

The Maple Ridge Burrards are in third place in the WHL with a 6-6 record after 12 games played.

The Burrards have a better shot this year than in years past of getting a playoff spot, Fridge said. (The top four teams advance to the playoffs with the bottom three falling off.)

“With six games remaining (in regular season), it’s going to be exciting,” Fridge said. “Anything can happen in the last (month).”

The Burrards play in Victoria on Friday night, but they are back at home on Sunday night to face the Langley Thunder at 6:45 p.m. at Planet Ice.

Softball

Blazing to victory

The Ridge Meadows Blazers Mite softball team finished the season with a dramatic win against the Devil Dawgs to win the league championship. After finishing the regular season in second place the Blazers began the double knockout tourney with a win against the Fire Angels.

The Blazers were led by the hot bats of Tavia Rowell who went 3 for 3, Kenzie Ringrose who pounded a triple, and Sami Ringrose and Hannah MacKinnon who had solid singles in the win.

In the second game of the tourney, the Blazers defeated the Fire Angels. The Blazers were led by the pitching of Krissy Nosek who pitched four innings and only gave up three runs in a great outing. In the third game of the tourney, the Blazers defeated the Rockettes, who finished the regular season in

first place. Kenzie Ringrose hit a triple and Rowell went 3 for 3 at the plate. Brianna Arsenault was all hustle getting on base both times she came to bat and scoring each time.

In the tourney final, the Blazers staged a come from behind bottom of the fifth rally to win the game 16-15.

Nosek pitched three solid innings including a key fifth inning shut out. Rowell went 3 for 3 at the plate, Virginia Smith crushed her second home run of the tournament and Sydney McCrea got on base and scored all three times up to bat. In the fourth inning Dana Petersen stole home providing a key run for the Blazers.

Obituaries

DUCHOLKE, Carl Edward

Carl was born March 29, 1918 in Stoney Plain, Alberta and moved to Maple Ridge, BC in the 30’s where he met his future wife Cicely. Carl was predeceased by Cicely in 2007 after 61 years of marriage. He is survived by his loving sons Kerry (Charlene) and Gerald (Linda) and his four grandchildren Kyle, Michael, Kaylene, and Andrew. He is also survived by his sister Florence, her family and many other nieces and nephews.

Carl worked at the Royal Columbian Hospital from 1951 until his retirement in 1983. During that time and into his retirement he enjoyed camping with his family and rescuing finds from wherever he travelled. Carl never looked his age and astounded his family with his ability to weather many storms. Unfortunately he could not weather this last one and he passed away peacefully June 16, 2010 surrounded by his family at the Royal Columbian Hospital. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in his memory to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

July 4 - 10

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness ride high! Pursue career, prestige or business objectives Sunday/Monday. Monday night through Wednesday, happiness, optimism, popularity, social delights and flirtations visit! You might meet a “destined friend” this week or next, who could become a mate. Avoid illusion wafted by a suave, slinky or glamorous person Thursday/Friday – a talkative, nervous, or “precise” type is true blue, honest and helpful. A significant sexual or financial decision might be involved. Saturday has an early problem, then success, energy and great money/career ideas!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Be ambitious – work with a new project, idea or impulse, rather than anything that emerged over the last two weeks. (A project or goal that existed before August last year is also viable – a major interruption has hindered this goal.

This obstacle is slowly ending, though it might linger to March 2011.) Talk about a career goal: a Gemini, an Aries understand. This week’s exciting, sexual, whispers of love – but remain cautious about new romances, relationships, as “marriage” is not part (or a good part) of any new link. Invest Tuesday. Bright friend, bright love Friday!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Relationships remain most important. Some are approaching the end of a phase, particularly those involving large money or intimacy – there will be a new phase soon. It’s like the dip in a wave. During this dip the best you’ll get is deception. So let those two matters (sex, money) take a breather – next Monday (July 12) onward, they’ll surge again, luckily! Sunday/Monday emphasize home, family, endings, peace. Monday night through Wednesday triggers romance, beauty, pleasure, creative urges.

Tackle chores Thursday/Friday – success very likely. Lie low Saturday morning; seek others this p.m.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Soon – next week – you’re going to enjoy some really solid advance in love, with creative or pleasure projects, and with relationships generally. So in these specific areas, be content to maintain a holding pattern this week. In a broader view, communication, travel and friendly relationships progress in a good way this week – in fact, in one case, this might be your last chance for a while to contact someone. Do so. Lie low, rest Sunday/Monday.

Your energy and charisma surge nicely Monday night through Wednesday. Chase money, or study an inventive investment, Thursday/Friday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to lie low, observe, plan, replenish your energy reserves. Deal with government agencies, charities, institutions and your own head office. Sunday/Monday bring a mellow, understanding mood. Be ambitious Monday night to Wednesday — the only thing you have to avoid is a smattering of illusion or wishful thinking Wednesday p.m. (Anxiety and wishing are two sides of the same urge.) The same advice holds, more so, Thursday, when you might dream unrealistically about someone, and they about you. Otherwise, Thursday/Friday are happy, upbeat! Retreat Saturday, especially this morning.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This week contains opposition and opportunity. Sunday/Monday are for chores, drudgery – get it over with. Exciting meetings arrive Monday night to Wednesday: be diplomatic, eager, refuse to fight. Illusion (or anxiety) about the firmness of the ground you stand on is your only Achilles heel mid-week, especially Wednesday and Thursday. If you’re realistic about this, you can land a deal, grab an opportunity, even trip the love fantastic!

Thursday/Friday steer you into depths (finances, sex, health, etc.): a Gemini or Virgo proves a great “guide” here. Saturday, wait for p.m. happiness.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Work, health and drudgery – these come every July, Aquarius, so just plug away.

Sunday/Monday feature details, paperwork, errands, travel, communications and friendly meetings. Take a rest, or tackle home-based chores Tuesday/Wednesday.

Tuesday’s ideas or urges involving investments, debt reduction, intimacy or lifestyle changes are quite workable. Romance beckons Thursday/Friday – so do pleasure, beauty, creative and gambling urges. But in these, deception lurks Thursday (you could be the deceiver) – Friday, clarity and a talkative person bring brightness! Caution Saturday morn.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Chase money, buy/sell, increase your earnings, seek a pay raise, etc. One money project – and one relationship – is winding down.

(Not a big deal.) An atmosphere of friction continues in the home. If you live alone, watch your telephone voice at home. Continue to study good and workable plans/ wishes involving real estate, construction, gardening, or similar matters. Next week through early August luck enters, perhaps bringing the opportunity to step toward those goals. However, DON’T move into a new home, nor buy a family home, before July 30: you would experience much friction there.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your popularity remains high – but you might almost defeat it by frowning, being attracted to the secretive, the sexual over the friendly. Best approach: dig deeply and definitely into a financial step, a lifestyle-changing project, or a bid for intimacy; but step out of this, quickly and firmly, to greet your friends, make friends, enjoy entertainment, etc. For three weeks, keep these two good, lucky sides of your life separate. Pursue the “deep” side Sunday/Monday, Tuesday night, and Saturday p.m.

Sweet wisdom, gentle love Tuesday/Wednesday. Be ambitious, social, Thursday/Friday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Sunday/Monday are romantic – but friction or ambition might make the dream better than the reality. Still, enjoy yourself.

Tackle chores Monday night to Wednesday. It’s a good time to look for work if you’re unemployed. Exciting meetings and partnership opportunities could arise Thursday/Friday. A showy but elusive person could steer you wrong, while a precise or talkative individual will befriend you. Be careful Saturday morning: everything’s at the wrong angle. This p.m., the main trend of this week succeeds: mystery, finances, investigation, intimacy, commitment – make one!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Love, romance, beauty, pleasure, vacation,charming kids,creative and gambling urges all flow through you now! Married or single, you’re dealing with someone June/July (hopefully your mate!) who’s feisty, determined, who exudes sexual energy.This link will move from talkative to affectionate, nervous to sweet, soon. In business, a money-earning partnership is possible. In any case, be diplomatic but seductive.

Illusion haunts your work sphere, so buy no machinery, and no employment “promises.” Chase money Sunday/ Monday. Home, rest, Thursday/Friday. Everything in the first sentence July 10! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continues on rest, hibernation, nutrition, children, Mother Nature, gardening, property and residence, and on ending some matters and relationships, and nurturing others, especially Sunday/Monday and Saturday. Chuck the unworkable or stale. We all start projects and relationships that don’t work. Your energy’s good Sunday/Monday. Chase money, earnings, buy/sell Monday eve to Wednesday. Avoid illusion. Casual friends, siblings, trips, communications go splendidly Thursday/Friday – but question yourself if you start feeling sweet romantic vibes. Saturday: one goes, another comes.
