Mosaics grace Haney streets
Bruce Walther and Anne Wilson are busy finishing their second tile mosaic in downtown Maple Ridge on 224th Street. The tile they are currently working on commemorates Thomas Haney, and they have already completed a mosaic representing the Canadian military with the slogan “For God and Country” written in tile. There will also be two more of these mosaics on Lougheed Highway in about three to four weeks. Walther said that the type of tile he is using in these mosaics will last thousands of years and can withstand extreme heat and freezing temperatures. “They’ve been uncovering mosaic floors every day in Europe that are thousands of years old,” he said. Walther has been creating these pieces of art for more than twenty years and has worked with Wilson for the past seven. The two have created mosaics all around the Lower Mainland and in Winnipeg. Walther said that the District of Maple Ridge noticed his work in New Westminster, which is why he was offered the project.

Townhouses coming to former ghetto by Amy Steele
asteele@mrtimes.com
The formerly notorious, crime-ridden Northumberland Court strata complex on Fraser Street may soon be torn down and replaced with a new 29-unit townhouse development. Owner Ghalib Rawji met with District of Maple Ridge staff last week to present preliminary plans for the townhouse complex, which he believes could be a “catalyst” for revitalization of the area. “We had a very positive meeting. They were very cooperative with us,” said Rawji. “We looked at the condo project, we looked at a townhouse project and we felt a townhouse project suited the area a little better and also it’s more viable and conducive to bring new families into the area, which I think that area is suited for. It certainly makes more social sense as well to go that route.” Rawji met with some neighbourhood residents Wednesday night to discuss plans and “to give them peace of mind about what we’re doing and where we’re going.”
“The thing is moving forward because everybody wants to see it move forward,” said Rawji. Rawji said he’s been told it could take between six to eight months to get the project approved “but I’m hoping we can speed it up.” “I really would like to speed this up because there’s no point sitting on this property... without moving forward,” he said. The current site is fenced off and Rawji is paying for security to patrol it. He said there haven’t been any problems. “It’s been great. I think everyone’s kind of got the message now,” he said. “I think the biggest hurdle has been overcome, which is getting rid of some of the stigma of the site and getting rid of some of the people that were causing problems and that’s all gone. I know the neighbours are fairly happy.” Rawji predicts bulldozing the existing property and rebuilding there will have a “huge impact” on the neighbourhood. “I think it’s definitely going to be a catalyst here for a much better neighbourhood. I think it’s going to improve all aspects of the community here,” he said.
After Rawji bought the property there was some speculation that a high-rise condo or apartment would be built but he said that hasn’t been considered. “I don’t think it is the right fit, nor would it have been viable right now,” he said. “The market for it isn’t quite there. I think the market exists for younger, newer families. I think they’re more suited for townhouse type developments with some nice green space and space for kids and things like that.” Haney resident Tyler Ducharme, who organized the Wednesday meeting with Rawji, said the meeting was “kind of about turning the page and moving on.” “I think the meeting was positive and I personally didn’t have a problem with his overall plan and vision,” said Ducharme. Resident John McKenzie is also happy with the plan.

Air quality deteriorating in the Fraser Valley An air quality advisory has been issued due to forest fires in the interior. The alert has been issued by Metro Vancouver, Environment Canada, the Fraser Valley Regional District and the B.C. Ministries of Environment and Health Living and Sport. Elevated levels of particulate matter (fine soot) were detected at air quality monitoring stations throughout the region, particularly in the eastern portion of the Lower Fraser Valley Wednesday but the situation was expected to improve by the weekend due to forecasted showers and more atmospheric mixing. As of press time the air quality health index was rated at moderate. Residents with heart or breathing problems are advised to avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Exposure is particularly a concern for infants and the elderly, especially with underlying medical conditions. If you experience chest discomfort, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing follow the advice of your doctor. To speak to someone about your health concerns call HealthLink at 811 or go to www.healthlinkbc. ca/kbaltindex.asp. For current air quality readings go www.bcairquality.ca/readings.

Business
Goods fly off shelves at Pitt market Osprey Village Farmers’ Market held its grand opening Sunday – the first of eight Sunday markets this year. Organizers estimate that approximately 3,000 people visited Osprey Village for the market, which is located near the Fraser River at the south foot of Bonson Road in Pitt Meadows. Included in the 3,000 were local MP Randy Kamp and MLA Michael Sather, along with Pitt Meadows Councillor Gwen O’Connell. The famous Market Carrot Cake was cut by Miss Pitt Meadows Katie Buchanann. Vendors may be bringing more food next week, as the market was so popular that some of them ran out of things to sell. Bread and eggs sold out within an hour after opening. Never Say Die Nursery and Maan Farms had luckily brought enough vegetables, but there was little left by the end of the day. The Osprey Village Farmers’ Market will be open every Sunday until Sept. 19. This coming Sunday will be Pirates Day at the market, where visitors can come

‘Aggressive driving’ ends in fiery crash A 19-year-old Pitt Meadows man died Saturday after a fiery two-car collision on Lougheed Highway. The crash occurred at Lougheed and 105 Avenue. Sheldon Streiling was the victim of the crash. Streiling was driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse westbound on Lougheed and swerved to avoid a turning vehicle. His vehicle then slid backwards into the eastbound lanes of Lougheed Highway, striking an eastbound Hyundai Sonata head on. The Mitsubishi erupted in flames after the crash. A Mission couple was inside the Sonata. Streiling was
pronounced dead at the scene. The Mission couple was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital. The female passenger suffered serious injuries. Her husband was treated and released. Police have determined that speed and aggressive driving by the deceased were contributing factors to the collision after interviewing several witnesses. Lougheed Highway was closed for seven hours to allow police to investigate. Ridge Meadows is asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call 463-6251 and give file number 2010-17445 and ask for Const. Mike Moore.

Maple Ridge men to stand trial in U.S. by Paul Gottlieb Peninsular Daily News
Two Maple Ridge men accused of trying to smuggle 250 kilograms of marijuana into the United States in May will stand trial next year. U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin H. Settle granted a request for continuance Monday so lawyers for Kyle Grayson Gadsby, 25, and Colin Charles Crowe, 26, could have more time to prepare for the trial, Emily Langlie, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Seattle, said Wednesday. The trial had originally been slated to begin Aug. 24. Gadsby and Crowe have been indicted for conspiracy to import a controlled substance; if found guilty, they face five to 40 years in prison. Their lawyers “want more time to get up to speed, and that’s fairly typical,” Langlie said. According to court documents, Gadsby and Crowe were arrested after two men were caught unloading the marijuana, packed in eight large plastic bags, from an inflatable boat at about 1:20 a.m. on May 31, east
of Clallam Bay on the Olympic Peninsula. Clallam Bay is across to the Juan de Fuca Strait from Jordan River. The two told authorities the marijuana did not belong to them and that they were each promised $5,000 for transporting it to a designated beach, according to the federal indictment. Authorities valued the marijuana at $1 million to $2 million. Customs Enforcement Special Agent Peter Gomez saw the two unloading the haul, although the indictment didn’t divulge where Gomez was at the time or the circumstances that led him to discover their presence. The boat was parked at the beach at Milepost 35 of state Highway 112 when Gomez trained his flashlight on the pair, discovering the bags of marijuana on the boat and the beach, according to the indictment. The two fled in the boat but were intercepted by U.S. Customs agents after a 2.5-kilometre chase in the strait. They were released on their own recognizance after each put up property bonds.
Robbery at Cooper’s Foods
Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating a robbery that occurred at Cooper’s Foods store in the 23900 block of Dewdney Trunk Road. At approximately 10 p.m. on Sunday August 1, a man
walked into the store. After a short time he approached a cashier, produced a weapon, and demanded money. He was given an undisclosed amount of cash,
and he departed on foot. Police arrived to the scene with a police dog from the RCMP Lower Mainland District Police Dog Services, but they were unable to locate the suspect.

Public inquiry needed, says sister of missing Ridge woman by Amy Steele
asteele@mrtimes.com
The Maple Ridge sister of a woman who went missing in the Downtown Eastside in 1997 wants a public inquiry to look into why it took so long for police to investigate the cases. Sandra Gagnon’s younger sister Janet Henry was one of 68 women whose faces appeared on a poster of women who had gone missing from the Downtown Eastside. Henry’s DNA was not found on Robert Pickton’s farm. However, Gagnon said Henry told another sister that she sometimes partied at “Uncle Willie’s” and the family has been told by other women who went to the farm that they saw Henry there. Pickton has been convicted of killing six women and this week the Crown stayed an additional 20 murder charges against him. “I think (a public inquiry) should be done because... they didn’t do much about when the women first went missing and they knew about it for years from what I gather and I don’t think it’s fair,” said Gagnon. “I’m just really frustrated because if more was done from the beginning there wouldn’t be as many women that went missing or (were) murdered.” Gagnon believes police “didn’t take it seriously.” heard about one police officer who told a reporter “those women couldn’t get dates anyway.” “These women were loving. They were mothers. They were daughters. They were sisters. They had a life before. Janet didn’t just end up there overnight,” she said. Henry previously lived in Maple Ridge with her husband and daughter in a house the couple owned. She had gone to hairdressing school and did nails and makeup as well. Gagnon believes it was her divorce and then the death of her mother and sister that made her go “downhill” to the Downtown Eastside.
Gagnon estimates her sister lived there for about seven years enmeshed in drugs. She recalls how her and her sister moved Henry back to Maple Ridge at one point but unfortunately a “so-called boyfriend” came to visit and spent all her rent money so she got evicted and ended up back in the Downtown Eastside. She remembers how her sister got herself a cat when she moved into the place in Maple Ridge. “She loved animals and even when she was living there she’d gotten herself a little cat and she was really happy,” she said. Henry’s family hasn’t been able to hold a funeral because they still don’t have a body or a death certificate. However, Gagnon is hoping to hold a memorial service for her in Vancouver where those who loved her can remember her. “I want to actually have a memorial in Vancouver to the people that knew Janet and even people from the Downtown Eastside who followed the story. I got a lot of support from people from all over the place and I’d like to have a celebration of life for Janet and talk about the fond memories of what she was like. How loving she was and everything like that,” said Gagnon. She also hopes the family can have a memorial service for her in Alert Bay, where the family grew up. “I’m going day by day and I pray a lot and I have really loving, supportive friends and that’s what gets me through. Even though I know my sister’s gone I believe I will see her again... and I know she’s not suffering anymore and if it weren’t for my faith I don’t think I could really handle this because there’s times I fell and I have that depression off and on but I continue to fight to stay strong because I have to,” said Gagnon.

❚ Our View
Speed claims another young life
Once again a roadside memorial has been erected in Maple Ridge. It seems these are popping up all too often. It must be a sad week for the Streiling family. They lost their 19-year-old son Sheldon, a Pitt Meadows resident, in a horrific car crash early Saturday morning in which speed is thought to have at least partially caused the accident. Some people say this is the most dangerous age for young men as they take chances with their new-found freedom – they have a driver’s license, they can drink legally and they often start earning enough money to do these two activities. When they do them simultaneously, the consequences can be tragic for themselves and other drivers on the road. But just speed alone can cause horrific accidents if something unexpected happens while they’re driving. Who can predict whether a car will turn in front of you or some wildlife jump out of the bush in front of your car? Driving at 150 kilometres, it’s next to impossible to do anything about unexpected surprises on the road. We drive around in 1,000-kilogram killing machines and everyone who gets behind the wheel of said machine needs to examine their ability to drive before turning the key in the ignition. Am I sober? Will I drive calmly and carefully? Am I alert enough to drive? Do I respect the rules of the road and other drivers? If you can answer ‘yes’ to all of these questions, go along your merry way and enjoy your right to drive. If not, think twice, or thrice, about turning the key in the ignition and don’t take a chance with your life, your passengers or anyone else on the road.
Public inquiry needed As more details emerge about what police found on Robert Pickton’s farm with the lifting of previous publication bans it is almost impossible to comprehend the monstrous events that occurred next door to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Families of the victims are calling for a public inquiry into why it took so long to investigate dozens of cases of women who went missing from the Downtown Eastside. If there’s anything that cries out for a public inquiry it is these cases of brutally murdered women or cases of women who still haven’t been found and whose families haven’t been able to bury them. We need to know as a society why it took so long for our police forces to find out what happened to them. We also need to examine what we can do as a society to help vulnerable, drugaddicted women forced into the sex trade to feed their drug habit from becoming the prey of serial killers such as Pickton. Otherwise B.C. strolls will continue to be easy hunting grounds for psychopaths looking for desperate women to murder. ■ Your View This week’s question Did you do a ‘staycation’ during the B.C.

New generation should take charge in Hammond
Past community association president challenges new residents to help preserve neighbourhood. Editor: Re: Hammond rich with history I’m writing this letter as a resident of Port Hammond for more than thirty years and read with great interest the story in the August 3, 2010 edition of the TIMES. I spent 15 of those 30 years as president of the Port Hammond Community Association. I tend to agree with what was said in the article that Port Hammond is a special place within the boundaries of Maple Ridge. It was in 1874 that the first council meeting was held for the District of Maple Ridge on the McIver farm which is now the Maple Ridge Golf course. In the 15 years that I chaired the community association I can say without a doubt and with frustration that we were never consulted by the district on anything they planned to do within the area of Port Hammond. I agree with John Grasser that the signs put up by the heritage advisory group do not reflect the true information about the area. In my opinion the heritage commission is more interested in promoting themselves with the district than protecting the heritage whether it be in Port Hammond or any other part of Maple Ridge as it appears that they are made up of a group of academics rather than ordinary residents of the various eight historic areas of Maple Ridge. They could prove me wrong and correct the signs instead of hiding behind the district red tape. As for the need for a community association I tend to agree we need the people in the area to come together and form a group as the old community association was put to sleep two years ago due to lack of interest by the people in the area. Nobody came out to the community association annual general meetings for two years to help carry on with it. As of today between myself and the past treasurer of the association we are storing all the material that belonged to the association. Several years ago the association turned the community centre over to the district due to the continued lack of support of the association by the district. As for councillor Michael Morden, I agree there is
a need for a plan for the area but I suspect, and I could be wrong, that it is only a political move on his part because if the council was concerned about Port Hammond they would not have allowed the CP Rail to remove the sign on the tracks that identified the area as Port Hammond. There have been at least two people that have done a lot to save the heritage buildings in Port Hammond. One is Mike Hadon who bought the bank and telephone office so they would not fall into the wrong hands. Another person is Raj Halhmy who bought the Hammond house and the Smith and restored them back to they way they were many years ago so they would not be lost. What is needed is that the new people who have moved into the area take over from the older people in the area to make sure the community keeps its character because the older people have done their duty to protect the community. As a resident of Port Hammond I would like to see the old mercantile (Dale’s store) that came down due to the snow replaced with a copy of the original building and used for retail and low cost housing for the area. I would also like to see the old Buckerfield property rebuilt with a replica of the old elementary school and train station to be used for some retail, youth services, community centre and other needs of the community. I would also like to see the return of the retail in the area so the people of the area can enjoy and shop within walking distance of their homes and also would love to see the wharf returned to the end of Princess Street so the people could enjoy the river at a safe distance. I could go on for a while as Port Hammond tends to grow on you and you become attached to it. I did really enjoy the article as it was well written and had good information in it.
I would also like to put out the challenge to the people of Port Hammond to come together and work to return it to its great past. Let’s bring it alive as stated by Val. I can be contacted via e-mail at ephillips6795@ shaw.ca Eric Phillip Past president, Hammond Community Association Maple Ridge
Taxes too high in Pitt Meadows Editor: Re: Maildbag I totally agree with Sandra Cantafio’s letter from July 30 mailbag regarding Pitt Meadows inane municipal government “bleeds us with increased taxes and waste money like the decorative crosswalks.” My property taxes have risen 42 per cent over four years. When I see these traffic calming projects with the decorative sidewalks, to me, this is wasted money. How about the brick crosswalks with the round bollards on Harris Road. The round bollards are now being removed and replaced with square ones. Why? The roundabouts on Harris and Bonson Roads have circular brick walls in the center. These brick walls are so high you can’t see oncoming traffic in the roundabout. Dangerous. I have one more example of waste (but I could go on). When the work crew flushes the water main near my home, why does one worker do all the work while the other worker sits in the truck reading the paper? My household has had to cut costs as much as possible. I think it’s time for Pitt Meadows to do the same. They are out of control with their spending. These tax increases are excessive. Soon I won’t be able to afford to live here. Hopefully next election there will be change. Martin Hill Pitt Meadows

Daykin should have voted as council wished Editor: Re: Local mayors support Metro waste-to-energy options Your recent article concerning the Metro Board’s vote on what to do with its garbage suggests that Mayor Ernie Daykin should be reprimanded for voting against the wishes of his own council. As the article pointed out the Maple Ridge council had “unanimously” (one would think that would include Mayor Daykin) voted against “mass burn incineration” of our garbage. Even though I agree with the way he voted, his council had made it very clear it was against incineration. Why bother having council vote on these issues when the mayor is not bound by the results or is allowed to unilaterally vote anyway he chooses. His actions make a mockery out of the whole process. Is it any wonder why the general public has such disdain for the political process when things like this occur. Graham Mowatt Maple Ridge

❚ Community It’s a win/win situation for performers and visitors, Boekhorst noted. “They get some exposure,” she said. “They are allowed to sell their CDs if they have them, and if they have a list of gigs they are doing over the summer they can provide that as well. It gives them an opportunity to show their talent.” The vocalists and musicians who will be performing throughout the month are primarily from the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area. “[It’s] local talent. Some haven’t had a lot of exposure yet,” Boekhorst said, adding the series is mirroring what has been done in other communities. “It’s just a try, to see if we can get some people downtown,” she said. “With the construction going on it’s nice to have some fun events to attract some people.” Organizers are fielding calls from musicians eager to show their talents to a new audience. “We have four more openings right at the end,” Boekhorst said. Anyone interested in taking part in the series can call the DMRBIA at 467-2420.

nitially, the greying sky spat fat raindrops the size of quarters down on Memorial Peace Park just before noon Tuesday. Sporadic drops of rain morphed into a heavy downpour, followed promptly by bright blinks of lightning and rumblings of thunder as a storm hung over Maple Ridge for a spell before making way for thick humidity and hazy skies. Ineke Boekhorst said, resignedly, “I was told there was a zero per cent chance of rain.” Alas, Mother Nature levied a soggy curveball at the first act of the Lunchtime Concert Series. A Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association (DMRBIA) initiative supported by the District of Maple Ridge/Parks & Leisure Services, the series is an hour
Grief has no timeline
of free musical entertainment in Memorial Peace Park every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during August. Under the shelter of a white tent, siblings Graham and Carly Strang opened their set with a rendition of the Eagles’ 1970s soft rock classic “Hotel California” as the rain pelted a handful of hardy audience members. Boekhorst, the DMRBIA’s executive director, said no matter what kind of weather is thrown at it, the series is a way of drawing people into the downtown core. “Especially the people that work in the shops,” Boekhorst said, “to bring them downtown, have their lunch in the park, sit down and enjoy the music.” “It’s not just for people in the businesses,” she added. “Everybody and anybody can come and bring their kids. Bring a brown bag lunch or purchase your lunch at one of the restaurants downtown and just sit down and enjoy.”

Pitt student goes national
Bartley signs in Sweden Maple Ridge native Victor Bartley has signed on with Rogle BK of the Allsvenskan Swedish professional hockey league, which is regarded as the second highest level of hockey in Sweden. Bartley, 22, spent his six years in junior, with the Kamloops Blazers for four years and the Regina Pats, for two. In his second season with the Pats he was named team captain and had his best year in his WHL career with 15 goals, 31 assists and 97 penalty minutes on defence. Bartley then made the jump to professional hockey after he was invited to the New York Islanders rookie camp, eventually signing with their AHL affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers. Bartley has already made his way to Sweden after training in Maple Ridge for the upcoming season.

Unlike most elite amateur athletes in Canada, Pitt Meadows’ Daniel Stanese hopes he doesn’t compete in college. Stanese, 16, is the captain of the Team BC soccer team that won a bronze medal at the national championships last year. That result, however, wasn’t quite good enough for Stanese. “We didn’t do as well as we should’ve,” he said. “We were still happy to get a medal though.” More recently, Stanese completed the Under-17 national camp in Laval, Que. after earning an invite from national coach Sean Fleming. Stanese earned the in vite – the only invite among all B.C.-born players and one of just five defenders – after a stellar showing at the 2010 BMO National Championships Nutrilite AllStars competition. The national camp included two exhibition matches against the Canadian Soccer League’s Academie Impact Montreal on July 28, and Quebec Senior Club on Aug. 1. His leadership qualities as Team B.C.’s captain should give him a leg up on some
Peewee Burrards lose in Provincial Final Coquitlam has been, and always will be, a powerhouse in the Lower Mainland when it comes to developing lacrosse players throughout their careers. At the peewee level, there have been times when they didn’t lose a single game in a season. That’s why there’s no shame in the Ridge Meadows peewee Burrards coming within a few minutes of winning provincials against the Adanacs. The Burrards went a perfect 5-0 through round robin play and beat Juan de Fuca in the crossover game 12-4 before losing 10-8 to the Coquitlam Adanacs. Ridge Meadows held a twogoal lead with four minutes to play in the finals.

The Burrards shocked a lot of people Tuesday night in New Westminster. Most of the talk around lacrosse circles has been about the Salmonbellies being able to turn on some sort of mythical switch come playoff time. While they still won the league this season, many thought that they hadn’t nearly reached their potential. The Burrards, who took the hardest route possible into the playoffs, were able to beat the Salmonbellies and all of their supporters in game one of the series, 12-11. Coming into the series as the underdogs, no one really could have given the Burrards a shot on the wooden floor in the historical Queen’s Park Arena. Even when the game was tied at four after the first period, even after the Burrards were up two after the second, and even after they were still up two with five minutes remaining, most in Queen’s

Daniel Stanese is hoping that he will earn a spot on the Under-17 Team Canada soccer team that is planning on qualifying for the 2011 World Cup in Mexico. Scott McKenzie/TIMES to earn a berth in the FIFA 2011 U-17 World Cup in Mexico. A spot in that prestigious of a tournament would have the Pitt Meadows Secondary student playing in a 105,000seat stadium in Mexico City,
while also being able to play in Cancun and Monterrey, among other Mexican cities. Stanese said that the qualification games for the FIFA World Cup will include a home-and-home series with Jamaica.
Team Canada is also preparing for the CONCACAF U-17 Championships, which is the main qualification route to the World Cup. Mexico will have an automatic berth in the World Cup as they are the host country. If all goes well, Stanese will be spending his Grade 11 year in Pitt Meadows, then move on to Burnaby Central Secondary if he signs with the Whitecaps residency program. If that does happen, it will be on a two-year contract that would pay him some money to live on. Because of that, his amateur status would become void and he would be prevented from taking an athletic scholarship and compete at the college level. “Then they’d sell me after the two years is up and hopefully I can end up playing in Europe,” said Stanese. He also said that because of how busy he is with the grind of the soccer season, Team BC, and flying to Quebec for Team Canada camps and practices, money tends to be an issue. “I was going to get a job but I just don’t have the time,” he said. During the regular season, he plays with his club team Coquitlam Metro-Ford Ajax.

Park couldn’t fathom the idea of losing a playoff home game to the lowly Maple Ridge Burrards. But Darren Fridge has been quietly assembling a seriously talented offence with rugged defensive players that seem to have bought into a system that’s allowing them to be successful. Lacrosse fans in Maple Ridge surely can’t remember the last time the Burrards have beaten the ‘Bellies three times in one year, but it happened Tuesday night. Of course, this is why there are seven games in a series. Was game one a fluke? A New West fan would think so. Especially since the Salmonbellies were finally, after a year and a half, able to lock up lethal scorer Alex Gajic after he held out from the Langley Thunder, the team that drafted him first overall two years ago. Gajic wanted to play with his brothers Ilija and Nenad, which is why he couldn’t be bothered to put on a WLA uniform until he was traded to New West – he was arguably the best junior lacrosse player in the last decade with 338 points in four
seasons. But with a good goaltender and a high-powered offence, going back home with a one-game series lead is a good situation for the Burrards, who have already beaten the ‘Bellies once at home this year. Now, the teams played again last night (Thursday) and the game happens after TIMES deadline so this could look like it was all for naught. But then again, the Burrards best player Tuesday was Andrew Murphy, who had two goals and three assists in game one. If Joel Dalgarno, Jarret Davis or Curtis Dickson caught fire Thursday night, Maple Ridge could be poised for the biggest playoff upset in years. If you didn’t catch the game last night, check out the WLA’s website theboxrocks.com for results, or follow my twitter at twitter.com/MRTimesSports. Regardless of the outcome, game three will go Saturday night at Queen’s Park in New Westminster at 7:45, and will go back and forth between the two cities every second night until one of them wins four games.

Royals lose in Provincials by Scott McKenzie editorial@mrtimes.com
Getting to the provincial baseball finals has almost become a default ending for the Ridge Meadows midget AAA Royals-they’ve won the Western Canadian Championships five times in the last 12 years. For the second consecutive season, manager Nor Ljunggren’s team reached the finals, but this year finished with a different result. The defending champion Royals, who had lost quite a bit of talent from last
season’s provincial champion team, lost to the Victoria Mariners in a 9-1 blowout in Kamloops. After a relatively slow start, Ridge Meadows capped off the regular season on a roll. They swept the top-seeded Vancouver Mounties and won nine of their last 10 games to earn themselves a third place finish heading into provincials. That momentum only increased in their first game in Kamloops against the host Riverdogs in a 3-1 win. The next game against Cloverdale proved to be more of a challenge. The game
was deadlocked at three after the third inning, and stayed that way until extra innings when Tyrell Ladubec hit the winning walk-off RBI with the bases loaded. In the semi-finals, Ridge Meadows faced the topseeded Vancouver Mounties. Pitchers Cole Ross and Spencer Stewart combined for the 8-4 win and a spot, once again, in the provincial finals against Victoria However, Ridge Meadows may have run out of gas by that point. Victoria took advantage of a few Ridge Meadows errors and went on to a 9-1 championship win.

After they have cooled, the skins can be easily removed with your fingers or the edge of a knife. Keep in mind that if the peeled peaches are exposed to the air for a period of time, they will start to oxidize (turn brown). A quick coating of lemon juice will help to prevent this. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, BC V2T 6R4 Chef Dez is a Food Columnist, Culinary Instructor & Cooking Show Performer.

Metro Vancouver aims to create park, trail system along Fraser River by Kelly Sinoski Postmedia Network
The Fraser River has been known for centuries as a working waterway, its belly bloated with fishing boats and barges and its banks stuffed with industry, agriculture and raw, wild bush. But if the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts have their way, the river will become a tourist destination with a landand water-based system of parks, trails, campsites and boat docks amid the historic canneries, forests, farmyards and communities strung along the southern arm of the river from Hope to the Salish Sea. The move, kick-started with $2.5 million seed money from the provincial tourism ministry last year and dubbed Experience the Fraser, is intended to connect with the Trans-Canada and Sea to Sky trails. “It’s about a variety of experiences; we’re hoping people will travel along the river,” said Wendy DaDalt,
Metro Vancouver’s manager for east-area regional parks. “The key theme is the connectivity ... where you can land in a boat or a canoe and camp [along the river]. “The more time you spend on the river and take the time to see what comprises the industry, it’s quite interesting. ... It’s what unites us,” DaDalt said. Communities such as Coquitlam, Langley and Maple Ridge are also looking to get people using the riverfront, said Jim Lowrie, director of engineering services. “They’re all regenerating the waterfront areas; it’s seen as valuable to many, socially and culturally.” Patricia Ross, chairwoman of the Fraser Valley Regional District, said the trail would help showcase the outdoor activities the Fraser Valley has to offer such as kayaking, biking and hiking trails. The regional district has also been working with first nations, she added.

History lesson: Part two Where were you when girls wore miniskirts, the Beatles rose to popularity, and Bart Simpson and his family lauched Fox Network? The last Here and There introduced the two-volume, 1,974 page Chronology of Twentieth Century History, Arts and Culture, edited by Frank N. Magill, and selected brief highlights from the beginning of the century up until the publication of Boris Pasternak’s Dr. Zhivago in 1957. From 1959 to 1973 Bonanza became a much loved American TV classic starring Ottawa born Lorne Greene as Ben Cartwright. In London, one year after Bonanza began, Mary Quant played her part in introducing the decade that came to be known as the Sixties by successfully marketing the miniskirt, freeing a generation of designers and celebrating youthful sexuality. The next year, just as U.S. involvement in Viet Nam began to deepen, Joseph Heller’s antiwar sentiments were revealed in Catch 22, and Robert Heinlein stirred and shook the science fiction world with Stranger in a Strange Land. Quietly at first and then erupting throughout the world of music and entertainment, the Beatles took the stage. The four innovative Liverpool lads, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Graham Starkey (Ringo Starr) changed the way we listen to popular music. In 1965 a mellow mood was created when The Sound of Music also captivated audiences around the world. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer became the biggest box-office draw in film history. 1967 saw the publication, in Buenos Aires, of Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, bringing Latin American literature to the world. From 1968-1973 Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In, with
Alan Woodland Here and There its illustration of the cultural uncertainty in the U.S., became the top show on television. Meanwhile from 1969-1974 Monty Python’s Flying Circus with John Cleese and his gang, beguiled audiences in England and then earned enduring worldwide cult status. In 1971, following the success of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice established rock opera with Jesus Christ Superstar. Syndication in 1972 turned the 1960s Star Trek featuring Canadian born William Shatner, into another cult classic Three years later Saturday Night Live had its debut in New York; and from 1977 to 1983, Star Wars director, George Lucas, set new standards in the film industry for technologically enhanced special effects. In 1985 in London and Philadelphia, Bob Geldof’s Live Aid generated millions of dollars for famine relief. 1987 saw Australian beer magnate Alan Bond purchase, at auction, Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Irises’ for $53.9 million, reflecting the economic idiosyncrasies of the times when art became a commodity traded among the rich. Also that year the National Museum of Women in the Arts opened amid controversy in Washington D.C.

The 1990s heralded the arrival of a major cultural change with the introduction of the Internet permitting the provision of easy access to music, art and literature. The Simpsons, the first prime-time cartoon in twenty years helped to launch the Fox Network, and in 1997, the rebuilt Globe Theatre opened on the South Bank of the Thames in London, the first time in 400 years that a modern audience could see a Shakespeare play under similar conditions to those when it was first performed. I hope you have enjoyed this quick romp through some of the cultural and artistic highlights of a century that we all thought of in the present tense as our century, but which is rapidly disappearing into the past. I’ll leave you to consider how well interest in these 20th century characters and events have lasted and how difficult it would have been when they first appeared to have had any certainty that they would still be newsworthy today, ten years after the turn of the millennium.

Cops keep Camp Goodtimes rolling Maple Ridge-based camp lets children with cancer experience the joys of summer. by Matthew Claxton editorial@mrtimes.com
Alysha Hall, Shauna Pearce, Natasha Krilow, Jamye Leclerc, Laura Dand, and Tianna Hall all struck a pose to promote the Odeum Theatre production of HMS Pinafore. Troy Landreville/TIMES
Theatre
Youth deliver satire and comedy
All aboard, theatre fans! Odeum Theatre is presenting Gilbert & Sullivan’s famous comic operetta HMS Pinafore, which drops anchor at the Clarke Theatre in Mission on Friday, Aug. 27 and Saturday, Aug. 28. Of the 22 young actors involved in the production, all but two are from the Maple Ridge area. Ranging in age from 12 to 19, they are being led through a condensed version of the mid-19th
century play by Odeum Theatre artistic director Rayne Beveridge. “It is our privilege to have the honour of guiding and directing these young adults,” Beveridge said, “We watch as they exceed not only their expectations, but our own as well.” HMS Pinafore is full of political and social satire, inspiring melodies as well as literary and musical comedy, Beveridge said.
“The humour is really relevant today,” Beveridge noted. “It really does translate.” Showtime on the Friday is 7 p.m. The Saturday production features a 2 p.m. matinee to go along with an evening show at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Bergthorson Academy of Musical Arts & Hair Expressions. Call 467-6613. Children 10 and under are admitted free.
A single thought pounded in my head as I left Camp Goodtimes last month. I’ve got to raise more money. I was visiting along with the fellow riders on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley Team. This September, we’re riding through the Lower Mainland to raise money for childhood cancer research, and support for the kids. A big part of that support is Camp Goodtimes. You don’t want your kid to be eligible for Camp Goodtimes. It serves children with cancer, in recovery, or their siblings. But if your child has cancer, it’s a godsend. The camp is amazing. Bright, new buildings nestled in a valley to the north of Maple Ridge. The crystal clear Loon Lake laps at the docks. The camp staff and volunteers are vibrating with so much energy and goodwill you expect them to explode at any moment. Most amazing are the medical facilities. Oncologists and specialist nurses volunteer so that children who have delicate immune systems, multiple medications, and even ones still in treatment, get the care they need, and then go right back to being kids at camp. How much does it cost, to operate a camp like this? Plenty. How much does it cost parents to send their kids? Zero. Zip. Nothing. The Canadian Cancer Society will even pay for plane tickets and get you to the camp gates. Which is why I’ve got that thought stuck in my head. I’ve got to raise more money. I’ve got to keep this place going. This year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley runs Sept. 23 to Oct. 1., from Delta to Boston Bar.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The main accent falls on romance, creative urges, speculative risks, charming children, beauty and pleasure. You’re on a winning streak, especially Sunday night to Tuesday, so enjoy, take advantage! Chase money, earnings, new clients and shopping bargains Tuesday eve, Wednesday. (But take care Thursday: don’t buy technology.) Relationships face some upheaval, disagreement Monday (when a deep rift is possible) and Thursday, but exciting agreement, attraction Friday/Saturday. You still face a “long climb” in partnerships, opportunities, relocation, but a potentially successful one!
Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You can meet great luck, opportunity, these few days, and a problem. The predicament concerns your home and relationships; don’t let it go underground. (It might resurface Thursday.) The rest of this week is smooth, easy, a respite from problems. Your home atmosphere is sweet and sour – temper and affection mingle. This might occur because you feel secure, yet your ambitions seem thwarted. To succeed, be ambitious about security, real estate, food, cafes or similar arenas. (However, stop short of starting any brand new projects.)
Taurus April 20-May 20: Seek quiet, rest, cool shade. Your home, family, roots, security, nutrition, gardening, property, soul – these offer good luck all week, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. However, these three days might also bring a split between you and another – unspoken, perhaps, but sensed. This probably involves work, employment and a legal, ethical or travel situation. (A wee echo of this Thursday, also.) Your creative, romantic side surfaces mid-week – all’s fine here, though you might experience little more than a “sweet notion.” Tackle chores – safely Thursday, wholeheartedly Friday/Saturday.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The problems of the last two weeks ebb now. However, two remain: the lesser involves communications/travel and health/work (mostly Monday). E.g., your car breaks down so you miss work. The larger dilemma (all week) also involves communication/travel, but “pulls in” legal, educational, publishing or international factors.You’ll have to decide between facts and ideas, casual communications or profound issues, near/small or far/large. For instance, do you make a verbal agreement or sign a contract? Love or acquaintanceship? You shine Sunday night to Tuesday! Chase money mid-week.
Gemini May 21-June 20: Read, write, travel, call, connect with siblings – luck here Sunday/Monday! The last two weeks brought some confrontations, splits, or problems – or simply a definite change in direction. That’s largely over, but a subtle alienation from a loved one (or in a new romance) could occur early this week – and a not-so subtle rift Thursday. Best idea: if you want to chase romance, wait until at least Thursday 9 p.m. (PDT) onward. The entire two years ahead demand slowness, steadiness and loyalty from you, if you wish to succeed in love. A big age difference is possible. Rest, mid-week.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Finish, advance ongoing projects. Refrain from starting anything new. A slowdown starts next week, lasting to Sept. 12. Sunday/ Monday could solidify a source of income, and/or bring a durable set of ideas, a practical “life philosophy” that helps you go forward steadily. Instability also lurks, if you allow pleasure or romantic notions to steer you away from duties or practical goals. Contemplate the different paths of earnings versus investments. You might make a choice between these now to mid2011. Rest, contemplate to Tuesday. Money’s good Friday/Saturday. A good week!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Wishes can come true! Popularity, optimism, social delights, flirtations visit you! (They did the last two weeks, too, but might have been obscured by other problems.) Your sexual and romantic magnetism rise another notch. This mingles with a curious prudence on your part. Net result: you might have to decide whether to continue charming someone or to subtly retreat, around Monday. Similarly, you might, over the nine days ahead, face the difference between someone else’s friendliness and your own caution. There’s no harm (and much luck) in joining, bonding. Rest mid-week. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be ambitious, especially Sunday to Tuesday – but start no new projects. Work to complete, to give ongoing projects a new heave, to mend “prestige fences” with valuable people. Be light, humorous – the problems of the past few weeks are fading. But don’t expect co-operation: others wish you well, especially mid-week, but they won’t further your cause. Avoid gossip (and being its victim) Monday. Think about a long-term trend (now to mid-2011): your hands-on work is expanding, but your management duties are growing heavier. Which to favour? The hands-on. Rest, Friday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your natural August mood – mellow, broad-minded, yearning for travel or culture – returns nicely, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. An opportunity could arise to travel afar, attend a college (etc.) or disseminate your ideas – seize it! But be aware of one problem (now to mid-2011): it involves a choice between (or inability to merge) your future goals, your cherished wishes, your social life on the one hand, and your creative, speculative, pleasure or romantic urges on the other. E.g., should you choose friends or romance? Save for your future, or just have fun? You’ll be happy Friday/ Saturday!

August 8 - 14
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Mysteries abound, especially Sunday to Tuesday – find out why recent career and domestic events or pressures occurred. The answer could be lucrative! Taking a forward stance, step, could give your ambitions a boost, Tuesday or Thursday eve to Saturday. A congenial, powerful female might play a favourable role. (There is also a temperamental, probably male, higher-up, who still needs a diplomatic approach.) Caution was a good idea the last two weeks, but too much now can impede you. Mid-week’s mellow, loving. All week, examine “big finances” – but complete, don’t start. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Relationships assume prime importance, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday (when a new link might form). You can fight or cooperate; realize that the other person/side holds the aces, the power. In legal, intellectual, international, far travel, educational and cultural zones, your secrets (or some other thing which you’d rather remain hidden: desires, fears, etc.) can be your weak spot, particularly Tuesday and Thursday. The cure for this (and many things!) is honesty. You will face the need soon to choose between a profound and a more casual relationship. The casual’s luckier. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Much work awaits – plunge in and get it done, especially Sunday eve to Tuesday. You might be very hopeful about an investment or monetary action, but study underlying trends and forces before you leap – for instance, does the economic climate of your nation or locale flow in the same direction as your idea? Maybe. In the semi-big picture (now to mid-2011) chasing earnings is luckier than relying on investments or other people’s money. Anyway, serious decisions called for. Relationships lure you mid-week. Mysteries, secrets, sexual desires make Friday/Saturday interesting! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
