Mayors balk at property tax proposal by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com
Mayors Ernie Daykin and Don MacLean said they would not support an increase in property taxes to pay for the Evergreen Line, despite pressure to approve $400 million in funding by the end of the year. Maple Ridge Mayor Daykin said TransLink officials suggested an annual property tax increase of approximately $31 for the average homeowner in a meeting yesterday. “One of the big factors to the Lower Mainland becoming a sustainable region is affordable housing,” he said, adding that many people are forced to move to find affordable housing. “Adding it to property taxes just seems like
the easy way out,” he said. Pitt Meadows Mayor MacLean, who did not attend the meeting, agreed. “Any more additional property tax... is off the table,” he said. MacLean said there was no direct connection between property ownership and a transportation project, and other mayors were in agreement about not raising property taxes. “I don’t see how B.C. Hydro relates, I don’t see how property taxes relate [to the Evergreen Line],” he said. “The [provincial] government has got to pony up,” he said. “They were the ones who came and said it will be built.” The Evergreen Line is a SkyTrain that would connect Coquitlam, Port Moody, and
Burnaby to Vancouver. Construction on the $1.4 billion project is scheduled to begin early next year, whether all funding is in place or not. The province has committed $410 million and the federal government has committed $417 million for the Evergreen Line. TransLink is committed to paying $400 million, but has not yet produced the money. Metro Vancouver mayors are scheduled to vote on a plan to fund the Evergreen Line before 2011. “We’ve got to approve a supplemental plan by the end of the year,” Daykin said. “We are under the gun.” Daykin gave the provincial government credit for opening the discussions, but said
it would be helpful to have a better working relationship. In an ideal situation, Daykin said mayors and the provincial government would be “working together instead of being at odds with each other.” Daykin said he would consider supporting a vehicle levy, but would not support raising transit fares. MacLean said he would consider supporting a gas tax, but any increase would have to relate to transportation. The Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation and the Province signed a memorandum of understanding two weeks ago, agreeing to work cooperatively to find sustainable, long-term funding strategies for TransLink.

Tracking device used to catch mail thieves Numerous people were arrested as the result of a high-tech RCMP investigation into mail theft in Maple Ridge last June. A Ridge Meadows RCMP media spokesperson said police mailed a tracking device, and after it was stolen they followed it to a residence on 105 Avenue in Maple Ridge. Ridge Meadows street enforcement unit obtained a search warrant and made numerous arrests. Police allegedly found vehicle parts and stolen mail at the residence. The police could not say if charges had been filed, but said the RCMP would likely be recommending charges of possession of stolen property and theft. Police also said they used a similar technique earlier this year, when a tracking device led them to a home on Slager Avenue in March in a mail theft investigation. Four people were arrested in that incident, but could not say if charges had been filed, according to police.
Trailer break-in Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating a break, enter, and theft from a construction trailer. Sometime between the evening of Friday Oct. 1 and the early morning of Monday Oct. 4, thieves got into the construction trailer on a site on 237 Street in Maple Ridge. A lock on a rear door was removed, and a quantity of tools were stolen from inside the trailer.

Stirling Hart was about four years old when he started pole climbing. Photo submitted
Climbing runs in family by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com
2010 is the first year there will be a father and son who are both Hometown Heroes. Pole-climber Stirling Hart
will join his father Greg Hart in the pantheon of people from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who have been honoured for their athletic achievements. Born in Maple Ridge,
Stirling grew up in Ruskin and graduated from Garibaldi Secondary in 2007. Stirling started pole climbing at the age of four, encouraged by his father Greg who had been
competing in pole climbing for years. Competitive pole climbing began in logging camps in the late 1800s where loggers used to compete for bragging rights. Pole climbing and logging run in the Hart family - Stirling’s father Greg and his grandfather Gord ran a logging company and later a log house building company. While Stirling enjoyed playing basketball at Garibaldi Secondary and football - winning the provincials at the age of 13 - pole climbing was in his blood. Stirling splits his time between doing exhibition logging shows at Grouse Mountain during the summer months and then travelling to New Zealand and Australia in the winter months to put on exhibition shows. This year, Stirling won three world championships - the 80-foot, 90-foot and 100-foot records. He won the 100-foot championship in Longview, Wash. - he climbed the pole in 23.3 seconds, beating the previous world record of 24.8 seconds that had held since 1988. Two weeks later, Stirling won the 90-foot pole climbing championship at the Lumberjack World Championship in Hayward, Wisc.
“You’re not really anybody until you win there,” Stirling said. The 80-foot pole climbing championship in Squamish was an especially sweet victory for Stirling - he beat the world record of 17.84 seconds with a new time of 17.81 seconds. Not only was his father at the bottom of the pole waiting for him as he beat the record, the record he beat was of his long-time coach and mentor Wade Stewart. Stirling has been training younger pole climbers to bring more interest to the sport. To compete in pole climbing, it helps if you’re “a little bit crazy,” Stirling said, and you can’t be afraid of heights. After racing to the top of a pole strapped on with a rope and with a spike on each shoe, the climber races to the bottom with mandatory touchdowns every 20 feet. This can take under five seconds, Stirling said, and is not for the faint of heart. Stirling attributes his success in pole climbing to his extended family including his parents and grandparents. “I’ve been really lucky my family has been supportive,” Stirling said. “I wouldn’t be where I am today if they hadn’t given me that little push.”
‘Play hard or go home’ was father’s advice by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com
Brad Hunt was barely out of diapers by the time he was in skates. The five-foot-nine Maple Ridge defenceman was a year from preschool when he fell in love with hockey watching the Vancouver Canucks and the New York Islanders with his father. “I didn’t want to do anything else,” he said. If things continue going well at Bemidji State University in Minnesota, the 22-year-old with the big slap shot might only be a year or two from playing in the NHL. “My dream is getting closer,” he said, excitement creeping into his voice. That dream started to take shape under the tutelage of Ralph Vos, who was Hunt’s first coach, aside from his father, and taught him some of the basics of competitive hockey. Hunt attended Riverside Elementary School and went on to Thomas Haney Secondary School, developing as a player and a student of the game. Steve Hunt, Brad’s father, played competitive hockey as a goalie. Poised between the pipes, the goalie has the best view of play unfolding on the ice. Brad said his father’s knowledge was extremely valuable in learning how to be a smart player.

Hunt was 16 when he joined the Ridge Meadows Flames, and despite being intimidated due to his status as one of the youngest players on the squad, he quickly found his stride, thanks in part to great coaching. Hunt singled out Bobby Vermette, the former GM of the Ridge Meadows Flames, as a great coach who helped him hone his intelligent but aggressive style. In his freshman year of college hockey, Hunt picked up the College Hockey America rookie of the year award on a strong team. A big part of his success is making smart plays, particularly on the power-play, where he notched a team-leading 23 points. Hunt also finished third on his team in scoring with 32 points, which he said is partially due to a monstrous slap shot. “Whenever I get a chance to shoot the puck, I shoot as hard as I can,” he said. Hunt said his willingness to put so much effort into each shot and every bodycheck comes from his father, who gave him his favourite piece of advice: ‘Whenever you show up at the rink, you either go hard or go home.” Hunt expressed thanks to all the coaches and everyone who supported him when he was growing up and helped him get to this point, just a few slaps shots from his dream.

Car impounded for 3 days A 30-year-old Maple Ridge man will have to make alternate transportation arrangements while his driving privileges are prohibited, and his car is impounded. At approximately 1:40 a.m. on Tuesday Oct. 5, a General Duty member of the Ridge Meadows RCMP observed a white pickup truck travelling over the speed limit. The vehicle was stopped, and the driver
showed signs that he had been drinking alcohol before driving. The man supplied a sample of his breath into the roadside screen device, which resulted in a ‘Fail’ reading. The officer issued the man an Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition, which means his driver’s licence is prohibited for three days. In addition, the pickup truck was towed in for a three-day impound.

Drug trial delayed by defence
LAWYERS PERSONAL INJURY
Maple Ridge woman allegedly involved in selling drugs to undercover officer. by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com
The closing arguments in the trial of a Maple Ridge woman charged with two counts of drug trafficking were delayed last Wednesday because of a failure to disclose all evidence. Alicia Van Huizen is one of 10 people arrested on charges of drug trafficking as a result of a four-month undercover operation executed by Ridge Meadows RCMP last year, concluding in July. Van Huizen is pleading not guilty to charges that arose from her arrest on June 24, 2009, when police allegedly seized cocaine, crystal methamphetamine, 17 ecstasy pills, and crack cocaine. The arrest came shortly after Van Huizen allegedly assisted in a drug deal involving an undercover police officer. Defence attorney Phil Rankin said he had not received all evidence in a timely fashion and needed the trial stayed so he could conduct a thorough examination. Judge Deirdre Pothecary decided to delay the trial, taking place in Port Coquitlam provincial court, for approximately three weeks. The arrest took place in a parking lot by the Travelodge Motel on Lougheed Highway near 216 Street, shortly after Van Huizen and Chris Harms had allegedly sold drugs to an undercover police officer. The narcotics were allegedly found on the ground near a Ford Escort the two had been driving. Police arrested Van Huizen and Harms and allegedly found $2,360 in Harm’s pockets.
The sum allegedly included $200 in bills the RCMP had been using to purchase illegal drugs. The undercover RCMP officer testified he received a phone number for a woman named Alicia and was told the woman could set him up with a drug dealer named Chris Harms. The officer stated he spoke with a woman who identified herself as Alicia on the phone and she put him in touch with the cocaine dealer. “She asked me if I was looking for a pick up,” he said. The undercover officer testified he told the woman he was looking to buy “an eight ball of soft,” and was told that would be fine. An eight ball of soft refers to an eighth of an ounce of powdered cocaine. The officer said he had no further contact with the woman. The officer testified he met Harms in a parking lot shortly after the phone call. He said he paid $200 for seven flaps of cocaine, nicknamed lottery flaps because the drugs are frequently wrapped in Keno tickets. The officer stated he twice met Harms in a parking lot to buy cocaine. He said he spotted a woman who fit Van Huizen’s general description behind the wheel of a Ford Escort but could not positively identify her in court. RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh said the undercover operation had benefitted the community. “This operation was very successful in that we were able to gain enough evidence to charge these 10 people who sell drugs to our citizens, some of which are young persons,” he stated in a press release from last October.

Colour scheme irks councillors A rezoning application was brought before Pitt Meadows City Council in a Council in Committee meeting Tuesday, but an issue stood in the way of it being fully passed – the business park’s colour. The application was for the second phase of Onni’s Business Park development on the north side of Airport Way, between Harris Road and Baynes Road. The company was looking to rezone the property to build a light industrial business park. Council voted to grant first and second reading to the Land Use Amendment Bylaw, waive the requirement for a development information meeting authorizing staff to notify surrounding property owners and schedule a public hearing for Oct. 19.
However, the issue of the business park’s colour left the council divided. In the regular council meeting Tuesday night, Coun. Doug Bing motioned to work with Onni to revisit the colour scheme of the business park. Coun. Deb Walters countered that she was “quite satisfied with the colour selected,” and that she has faith in Onni to do what is aesthetically pleasing. Coun. Bing cited an email conversation with Onni saying they would be willing to revisit the colour scheme, and Onni representative Paul Jarvis said he was “open to discussion.” Jarvis seemed reluctant, however, to have the project delayed, as construction
on the building has already started. Coun. Miyashita and Coun. O’Connell also both expressed their reservations about revisiting the colour scheme. Miyashita said she was impressed with what Onni presented originally, and she is confident that Onni will make the colours neutral, because the signs need to be what pops. Walters, Miyashita and O’Connell voted against delaying full approval of the business park, but they were out-voted by Councillors Bing, Bell and Becker and Mayor MacLean. Onni was instructed to revisit the colour scheme with city staff, and Council said they would stand by what is decided there.
Farmer seeks to improve lands Pitt Meadows City Council approved a nonfarm use request at Tuesday night’s council in committee meeting for soil screening and mixing at 17890 Ford Road Detour. The council voted to refer the application for a temporary use permit to the Agricultural Land Commission. Coun. Deb Walters moved to forward the application and Coun. Gwen O’Connell seconded it. The property owner is in the process of converting his land into cranberry fields, which requires the removal of peat moss for bog development. Soil from the peat moss is supplied to mushroom farmers and remaining material is
Jewellery Designers
mixed with manure to be used to create a soil base for the owner’s cranberry fields and for other farms. The owner wishes to move his screening facilities closer to the mixing operation, on an adjacent piece of land. He acquired the land after the original temporary use permits were issued. According to city council documents, the relocation will reduce truck traffic on Ford Road Detour, decrease transportation costs and increase productivity of the farmer’s operations. Coun. Gwen O’Connell requested that a stop sign be put up where the trucks come out, and the owner of the property, Hank Bitter, readily agreed to the request.

Legion carves out a memory by Samantha Shirley-Urano editorial@mrtimes.com
Although it is only October, members of the Royal Canadian Legion are already planning for Remembrance Day. A special project will be unveiled this year – a maple leaf carving commemorating the members of the armed forces, particularly from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. An anonymous donor gave the Ridge Meadows Educational Foundation $2,000 to commemorate the community’s war efforts, then the foundation partnered with Legion 88 and the Youth Centre Society to bring the
project to life. The Youth Centre Society raised funds and donated wood from Albion for the carving, which is made of pieces of yellow cedar and a red cedar ribbon at the bottom. “This will stand out as a permanent memorial to the veterans and to Canada’s war efforts,” said Jim MacDonald, the president of Legion 88. The Legion in Maple Ridge has 2,500 members, 800 of whom have served in the armed forces. See MAPLE LEAF, Page 10

The maple leaf will represent four branches of the military. Samantha Shirley-Urano/TIMES
Cheryl Ashlie, a director of the Ridge Meadows Educational Foundation, said she hopes youth will get involved in the carving. “You don’t often see 4050 year olds going into the armed forces,” Ashlie said. “Our youth are going there. Public education formulates beliefs and values about Canada that make, I think, probably one of the best armed forces in the world, due to the commitments that we have to the values we as Canadians hold so dear.” The finished carving will be unveiled Nov. 7 at noon in front of the Legion office at 12101 224 St. The unveiling will go along with the annual church parade. A full colour party and the cadets will also be present.
Ashlie said some help is still needed from the community. The maple leaf carving is scheduled to be on a concrete base put in place by a work party on Oct.
17, but the Ridge Meadows Educational Foundation does not yet have the needed concrete. They are hoping for a donation of a yard of cement before Oct. 17.

MAPLE LEAF, From Page 9 Eric Mueller designed the concept based on what legion members said they would like to see, then passed the torch to master carver Doug Morrison. “We’ve got the four main branches of the service represented,” Morrison said. “There is a destroyer and a spitfire for the Air Force.” There is also a Churchill tank on the carving, with a special part on it for water that was “specifically modified for the landing at Dieppe. That was truly a part of Canadian history,” Morrison said. War-themed pictures stand in relief on the maple leaf, and the pieces of the wood that are not part of a picture are carved to look like the veins in a maple leaf. “The main thing is the soldier,” MacDonald said. “You’ll see it at all the cenotaph services, where you’ll get a serviceman resting on the butt of his rifle.” Underneath the soldier blows a field of poppies. MacDonald explained that most of the images on the carving are from the Second World War. “It’s what most people visualize as being a tribute to the forces,” he said. Morrison won’t be the only one to carve the project, however. Everyone from current cadets to legion members to ex-servicemen will have the chance to carve out their own piece of history as well.
“They’ve been invited to come participate and help with the carving,” MacDonald said. “This offer is open to any veteran; they don’t have to be a legion member.” Those interested don’t need to have any experience carving, either. “Doug is a master carver,” MacDonald said. “He puts on a bit of a workshop to show people how to do it. Anybody can take a crack at and leave their mark on it.”

Maple Ridge has created a Public Art Steering Committee and plans to continue more public art projects in the future. “Some pieces will speak more to one person than another, but I think it’s a very important step to demonstrate that the city does embrace the arts in a very real way,” said Barbara Duncan, curator of the Maple Ridge Art Gallery. “That means that you don’t need a subscription. The pieces are right out there in the community for people to enjoy on a day-to-day basis.” Duncan said she is glad Maple Ridge is following Vancouver’s example, where there has been a public art program for the past 20 years. “Public art takes a variety of shapes and forms and it makes our community interesting,” said Mayor Ernie Daykin in a press release. “A well-planned public art project ensures that the statement the work makes is in keeping with its surroundings, whether this be on a busy downtown street corner, in a green space or in an area that combines both rural and urban elements, as is the case with the piece destined for Memorial Peace Park.”

Memorial Peace Park will have a shining new addition to its landscape that will be in keeping with the maple theme of the community. Maple Ridge’s first public art project, in the form of maple seeds, will be unveiled Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Spirit Square. Maple Ridge’s public art project, tentatively called Tendance, features maple seeds cast in bronze strung along swirling stainless steel curves, representing their spiral paths from tree to earth. The piece rises from a concrete base to a height of 20 feet, and illuminated by lighting integrated into the pedestal, the sculpture will be clearly visible day and night from all points around Memorial Peace Park. The District of Maple Ridge commissioned the project as part of the inter-municipal Necklace project, where Maple Ridge and nine other municipalities in the Lower Mainland are creating their own metaphorical “jewel” in each community. The artists, Michael Vandermeer and Cheryl Hamilton, were chosen out of 200 artists for their design. They were given only the direction to follow the theme of illumination.

❚ Our View
Smoke makes everyone pay far too dearly The Canadian Cancer Society says that 37,000 Canadians die every year from smoking. Eighteen per cent of Canadians older than 15 admitted to smoking last year. So approximately 1.65 million Canadians are gambling with their health. Chances are you know a few. You’ll also likely know a smoker who has tried to quit – several times. Quitting is hard. There are all sorts of legal chemicals in cigarettes that appear to be there to stimulate the pleasure centre of the brain – heroin addicts know about this. Once upon a time, Health Canada said it wanted to reduce the number of smokers in Canada to 11 per cent. That was 10 years ago, when 25 per cent of Canadians smoked. Trouble is, most of the decline happened early in the decade. The last five years accounted for a reduction of only one per cent. One might imagine that Health Canada would have wanted to ramp up a variety of education, warning, and smoking cessation programs to achieve its stated target – and in doing so, save this country billions in health-care costs. But after more than six years of “consultations” in a variety of forms, the federal government has quietly halted its plans to update the warnings on cigarette packets and include the number of a tollfree line to help smokers quit. Instead the federal government will focus its efforts on contraband cigarettes – a move that will clearly benefit the tobacco companies as much as it might reduce the supply of some smokers. Surely protecting the health of Canadians ought to be more important than stopping the flow of illegal smuggling. There’s something sadly askew with the government’s priorities on this one. And, unfortunately, it’s Canadians who will pay the price – and in so many ways. We’ll all pay the tax dollars that go into the anti-smuggling effort. We’ll all pay for the lost wages and revenues due to the generally poorer health of those who smoke. And we’ll all pay for lost loved ones who got sucked into the smoke and were unable to find their way back out until it was too late. But a few tobacco smugglers might take a hit. B.G.

Show loyalty to local stores Editor: Re: Wal-Mart would be welcome addition to Maple Ridge, Mailbag Oct. 5, 2010 In response to Chris Johnston’s letter, I would like to say, what are you thinking? To invite Wal-Mart into our town is saying you have no loyalty to Maple Ridge businesses. It is a proven fact that WalMart causes the demise of a lot of small businesses. Also, they pay minimum wage and their employment practices allow them to avoid paying any benefits. This is not an employer we need in our town. In as far as Home Depot is concerned, we already have three excellent hardware outlets in Maple Ridge, Rona, Home Hardware and Haney Builders. Again I say, where is your loyalty? As long as these businesses treat us well, they deserve our support. Now if you were to suggest that we invite Thrifty Foods as an anchor, I might give the shopping centre a second thought as, with the demise of Extra Foods, we could use a bit of competition in that area. But Wal-Mart? No, No. and No. Art Pearson Maple Ridge
LPNs provide professional care Editor: Re: Fewer registered nurses at care homes, Oct. 5, 2010 Your recent story about staffing changes at care homes may have left readers with the impression that professional nursing can only be provided with RNs. In fact, Licensed Practical Nurses are licensed by the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of B.C. which regulates their professional practice under strict guidelines, as is the case with RNs and many other health care professionals. For more than a decade, the professional nurse that most seniors and their families see at the bedside in B.C.’s residential care facilities has been an LPN. So it’s not surprising that as part of its long overdue plan to increase direct care hours for seniors in residential care, the Fraser Health Authority is expanding the role these nursing professionals play within the care team. After all, as a requirement of their professional license, LPNs receive specialized education and training that meets the health needs of long-term care residents. RNs will also continue to
play an important role in meeting those needs, along with LPNs, residential care aides, recreation assistants, activity aides, dieticians, physiotherapists, physicians and others. Quality care for seniors depends on a multidisciplinary approach that is evolving to take full advantage of the skills and training each member brings to this team. Frankly, the biggest risk to seniors’ care continues to be the ongoing contracting out of skilled and experienced front-line staff at Fraser Health facilities. This disrupts continuity of care for seniors, causes unnecessary chaos in many Fraser Health facilities, and undermines the entire health care team. Our seniors deserve better.

Liberal government. Site C would produce 900 megawatts of power. A new power line is in the works to send over half of that electricity to the Fort Nelson area to provide the power that is required to extract natural gas from the shale gas deposits there. Shale producer Nexen Energy has noted that the shale gas deposits in northeastern B.C. present a great opportunity to export natural gas to develop the oil sands in Alberta.

What is Bonding? Bonding uses composite resins to restore chipped or broken teeth, fill in spaces, cavities or re shade the teeth. The clinician applies, colors and shapes the resin to make it a more pleasing appearance. The light (violet) is used to cure (harden) the composite resin. This light is commonly mistaken for ultraviolet light. It is the visible wavelength of light and not ultraviolet light.

❚ Mailbag SITE C, From Page 13 I expect the other producers in that area are thinking the same thing. The oil sands are by no means an example of clean energy, nor would this use of Site C energy offset our dependence on imported energy from coal. Importation of dirty energy from coal is not as significant as it is often portrayed and is typically a money making device. That is, we buy energy from Alberta at low priced off-peak times and sell it at a profit during high-peak, highpriced times. The BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) ruled that the B.C. government had not made the case that we require the amount of energy that they were seeking through B.C. Hydro. The government’s shameful response was to pass legislation gutting the powers of the independent BCUC and putting the decision making powers in the hands of cabinet, who are clearly not the experts on energy. Most of the requested power will be in the form of private dam and divert (a.k.a run-ofriver) projects. Many of these projects will have significantly negative effects on salmon, but there is no land use planning process in place to determine which of these projects are advisable and which are not. The government also passed legislation to ensure that local governments have
no significant input into the sites of these private power projects. “Run of river” power is also very expensive. Analysts, including those from our largest industries, have stated that this power, which is largely or entirely for export, will not be able to be sold without a significant financial loss. But who takes the risk? Not the private power projects. They are guaranteed a price for their power by the government through B.C. Hydro. B.C. Hydro is a public entity and that means that the citizens of B.C. will pay the bill for this expensive private power through rapidly increasing hydro bills. The B.C. government’s fiscal plan calls for hydro rate increases of 29 per cent over the next three years. Ms. Robinson is not correct in stating that we cannot achieve energy savings through conservation. B.C. Hydro conducted a study, completed in 2007, that showed B.C. could acquire 50 per cent of our new energy needs through conservation by 2020. The 80 kilometres of river and tributary that would be flooded by the Site dam C is prime habitat for moose and deer and is particularly valuable as wintering and calving habitat. First Nations, whose traditional hunting territory has been significantly compromised by oil and gas development in the
We must adjust our thinking and practices to the reality that the physical resources of this beautiful planet are not limitless. We cannot continue to abuse the earth and the inhabitants thereof and expect a positive outcome. I am confident that we are capable of making the transition to the realities of today but it will not be easy. Business as usual or tinkering around the edges is not a viable option.

northeast, increasingly depend on hunting in the river valley for subsistence needs. The valley also provides some of the best lands for agriculture in the entire Peace River region. The current Williston reservoir on the Peace River has already significantly reduced watering of the Peace-Athabasca Delta, one of the largest and most biologically productive freshwater deltas in the world. In addition, the dam had hugely negative effects on First Nations in the area and on the caribou populations that they depend on for food. Governments and citizens are becoming more aware that large hydroelectric dams can have very negative environmental effects. Consequently, some governments in the United States are decommissioning large hydroelectric dams in their jurisdictions. I do agree with Ms. Robinson that we must think long and hard about how we will meet our energy needs now and in the future. Living in a truly sustainable manner will require significant adjustments in our approach to economy, the environment, lifestyle and our understanding of what we think of as wellbeing.

Knights get help from pro B.C. Lion Paul McCallum is helping Meadow Ridge kickers get a leg up on the competition. by Troy Landreville editorial@mrtimes.com
W
alking with a slight limp, Paul McCallum made his way towards the centre of Samuel Robertson Technical School’s lit athletic field. It’s a clear, chilly weekday evening in east Maple Ridge, and the BC Lions placekicker/punter, nursing a pulled hamstring, sacrificed some of his spare time to offer members of the Meadow Ridge Knights midget and bantam football teams pointers under SRT’s “Tuesday night” lights. “This is his opportunity to give back to the kids in the community,” said Paul Gill, the assistant coach of the midget Knights team and a Meadow Ridge Football Association director. “We have two or three kids who specialize in kicking so Paul’s got some good ideas on what works and what doesn’t.” Gill said it’s quite a thrill for the local youngsters to meet and talk to a professional football player. “Not everyone is going to be a professional football player but it’s especially important to be a good citizen in the community,” Gill said. “It’s a busy time for him and he still wanted to be here and help.” The 40-year-old McCallum is an 18-year Canadian Football League veteran who has spent the last five seasons as the Lions’ primary kicker. A Maple Ridge resident, McCallum not only has an established football career, he also moonlights as a realtor in the community. He was aware of the Knights’ football program and was

teams and things like that. Watching some of the kids play, I think I can help them. It’s just a way of giving back to the community.” Having never had the luxury of a kicking coach in his formative football years, McCallum believes lending his expertise to the next
generation of kickers could make a difference. “I probably would have been a lot further ahead if I had the coaching,” he said. McCallum played soccer until he was 20. Around that time, a visit to a park set him on his athletic career path.

“My friends were playing football and the kicker quit,” he recalled. “So the coach asked me to get my soccer cleats and come out and kick. Then it just evolved from there.” Fast forward to present day and McCallum’s health status. He said his ailing hamstring is coming along. “It’s alright,” he said. “It’s just one of those things where you have to go through the physiotherapy and get ready for next week. I’ve had nicks all my career so it’s nothing new.” McCallum leads all CFL placekickers in field goal efficiency. He’s been successful on 35 of 39 attempts, for a rate of 89.7 per cent. Sore hamstring and all, he plans on starting for the Lions when they meet the Winnipeg Blue Bombers Thanksgiving Monday.

Long-time coach honoured editorial@mrtimes.com
A fixture in the local sports community for the past 25 years was recognized Tuesday evening for his exemplary service, example and commitment to young players. Spencer Levan, a longtime Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey coach, received the prestigious Paul Harris Award at the Meadow Ridge Rotary Club’s 20th sports banquet at Meadow Gardens. Levan said the award was a complete surprise to him. “It’s a huge honour; whether or not I deserve it is another question,” Levan said. “It’s very humbling. You don’t do these things for awards; you don’t do it for anything personal. I get more than enough satisfaction and fulfillment from the results of the players themselves and the teams. That’s more than anybody could ask for.” Although he is humble about his involvement over the years, Fred Armstrong, a friend and Rotary member who helped present the award to Levan, said the accomplishments of his teams are significant. Levan started coaching hockey in 1988, and he started coaching midget AAA
Spencer Levan received the Paul Harris Award at the Meadowridge Rotary Sports Banquet on Tuesday. Maria Rantanen/TIMES in 1998. Armstrong said in the last 12 years Levan has coached the Ridge Meadows Wrestlers, the team has been to the provincial finals six times. “They’ve won gold, four silvers and bronze, but as amazing as that is, when you talk to Spence and when you watch the teams and you watch the kids, the biggest impact on their lives is the entire coaching staff, and Spence is very modest,” Armstrong said. “He and the other three coaches have this great rapport with the kids.”
Armstrong said he has been at lunch or dinner many times with Levan where a past player will come over, introduce their wife and children and catch up. “It sounds so corny, but that line about how it takes a community to raise a child, well he’s one of those guys in the community, one of the amazing teachers we have, and he’s one of those coaches,” Armstrong said. And the coach doesn’t just teach them how to win games, he teaches them life skills.
“They have a code of conduct, how the kids dress and how they’re supposed to act responsibly, and be committed to schoolwork and homework,” Armstrong said. “The discipline and structure they encourage, it’s just so great to see these kids come back after 20 years of coaching.” Levan said he and his coaching staff made the conscious decision to teach the boys more than just hockey. “We’re just as proud of the guys like Brandon Yip and Brad Hunt and Cody Campbell who’ve gotten fullride scholarships and made it to the NHL and kids in the AHL and everything else,” Levan said. “I think our program’s put more kids in junior hockey than just about anything else and we’re proud of that, but we’re just as proud of the guys who have graduated from our program and become policemen and firemen and plumbers and good citizens of our community and other communities they live in now.”

Waterston. Maple Ridge resident and Carlson Gracie Fighter Logan Martin also entered the contest with his team. Facing an opponent 15 pounds heavier than him, it seemed Martin had a big challenge ahead of him. However, from the moment the bell rang it was obvious who the better-trained kickboxer was. With smooth footwork and slick head-movement, Martin dominated for three rounds. Delivering punishing kicks to his opponent’s legs for three straight rounds, it was a surprise to see his opponent standing by the end of it all.

The second round showed Waterston starting to run away with the fight as he continued to punish his opponent’s body. Despite being the shorter fighter, Waterston was able to catch his opponent with several over-hand punches to the head that resulted in a standing eight count. In the third round both men continued to battle hard, but it was clear who the winner was. Fight of the Night honours was later credited to

first ever test inside the ring. The 170-pounder used his height and reach to his advantage. Although his opponent was a worthy competitor, his energy in the ring, as well as several clean uppercuts, gave Furness the clear victory. Next to fight for the Carlson Gracie Team was Kurtis Waterston. This 140-pound weight class Muay Thai battle had people cheering and standing in their seats. Despite a clear height and reach disadvantage, Waterston, a former Maple Ridge Secondary wrestling captain, gave the fans what they paid to see. The fight started off

Kids will enjoy a variety of activities at Cranberry Day, including a cranberry bog and a petting zoo. Photos submitted
Agritourism
Mud fest on Cranberry Day Everyone who longs for the sweet, slightly acidic taste of fresh cranberries is invited to take part in Cranberry Day at the Meadows Maze this Saturday. “It’s a celebration of the cranberry,” said Debbie Hopcott, the owner of Hopcott Farms. The day begins at 10 a.m. with two big cranberry pancakes, two sausages from Hopcott Meats, and a glass of cranberry juice for $3. Bob Hopcott, the other half of Hopcott Farms, said they started growing the small red fruit about 11 years ago when the beef business wasn’t doing so well. They now grow cranberries on 70 acres, and Hopcott estimated they produce about 1.7 million pounds of cranberries each year. The event, which takes place at Meadows Maze just off Dewdney Trunk Road, includes
hay wagon tours around the cranberry bogs and the chance to learn a few things about the berry. “People think cranberries grow in water,” Debbie Hopcott said. “They’re a low, crawling vine that actually grows close to the ground.” With face painting, a petting zoo, samples of different cranberry sauces on display, and a maze to solve, Hopcott said it’s a perfect family event. “Kids can get in the water with their gumboots and boom the cranberries,” she said, referring to the cranberry bog. Hopcott advised visitors to wear their best rain clothes and “Just enjoy the muddiness of it.” The event is expected to wrap up around 4 p.m.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continues on relationships – and opportunities. Last summer’s taste of luck and freedom will return as a full meal the first five months of 2011. But until then you have a number of duties – at least two major ones – to clear up. These are not mere “chores” – they entail an obligation, a social or sacred trust. They likely involve a legal, love or international affair, or a religious, intellectual, educational or publishing matter. Clues, reminders come Sunday to Tuesday. Be ambitious, reliable midweek, but don’t seek agreement. Social delights, love, happiness Friday/Saturday! Taurus April 20-May 20: Two weeks remain of drudgery and health concerns. Soon you’ll be free to give your full attention to the social and romantic hints you’ve been picking up, and the opportunity of these will last until then. Meanwhile, knuckle down to work. Sunday’s social and intriguing – perhaps with someone ”higher up.” But this eve and Monday/ Tuesday bring heavier themes: sex, intimacy, privacy, research, finances, commitment. (Don’t feel you have to commit, though.) Understanding, a mellow mood enters midweek. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday: prospects look good for a new project. Gemini May 21-June 20: The emphasis remains on romance, creativity, risk and reward, pleasure, beauty and charming kids. This isn’t the easiest week, but there are no major obstacles, either. Tackle chores Sunday a.m. – clear the decks for some evening explorations, bids or opportunities. Partnerships and marriage haven’t been easy since 2003, and won’t be this autumn/winter – nor Tuesday p.m. But next March starts eight years of peace, harmony, friendliness and interest in relationships. Loneliness will flee! Be patient, flexible until then. Depths, mystery, sexual and financial attractions mid-week.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Home, family, security are still of prime importance. And romance, creativity, charming kids, pleasure, beauty, speculative risks still run a close second. A “prodigal child” might return in the next three months. Sunday morning, mid-day are romantic, in a friendly but sexy way. Tackle chores this eve to Tuesday. You’ll get a lot done – but watch safety Tuesday eve. Relationships erect barriers Wednesday/Thursday, so be diplomatic. It’s nothing major. Sexual urges, financial inspirations/hunches, life’s depths and mysteries arise Friday/Saturday. Invest passively, pay debts. Research! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: What’s slow is difficult; what’s quick is easy. In the house, with family, be flexible, long-suffering, affectionate. Outside the house, follow your curiosity – it can lead you to valuable information, even to new friends. (Now to next March, you might make a friend who is surrounded by, or has an element of, mystery. This person can offer nuggets of little-known information, but don’t follow his/her advice about money or business.) Rest early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday brings romantic urges — and insights. Tackle chores midweek. Exciting meetings, fresh horizons Friday onward! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money. Buy/sell, seek new clients, ask for a pay raise or extra hours (especially Friday/Saturday). Generally this is an easy, sensual week. Sunday morning’s very friendly. Both opportunity and opposition occur Monday/Tuesday – say yes to real estate, security, home, no to health or work themes. Romance, pleasure, sports, creative projects and charming kids fill Wednesday/ Thursday – nighttimes best, mid-afternoons worst. Tackle chores Friday onward. A former opportunity returns to you now to mid-November. Be ready to “work it” December/January. Might involve property, relocation.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, insist on your way, ask favours, and make personal appearances. Shop Sunday morning (especially for high-tech). This afternoon through Tuesday brings paperwork, communications, errands, casual acquaintances – busyness. Your home life, your security, and real estate, become important midweek. It’s a splendid time to institute your own schedules, priorities, to end some situations and lay the groundwork for the new. Romance visits Friday/ Saturday. Before 2011, new romance is not the “marrying kind.” Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Continue to take a restful, contemplative approach. Your energy levels are low. Still, there’s a lot of important work to be done, so do it. Important because either a) you’re the only one who can do it; or b) it promises to “almost directly” advance your own goals. Someone might be “sweet” on you – be kind, but gently evasive. Chase money, buy/sell, Sunday eve to Tuesday. Communicate – but carefully – Wednesday/Thursday. Drive carefully, too. Be alert, because events are faster now than you are. Retreat to home ground for some deep, rejuvenating rest Friday/Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies on wish fulfilment, popularity, entertainment, social delights and group efforts. Visualize your future, make optimistic plans. You might be experiencing a clandestine attraction – this has little beneficial impact, and could hinder future love, which would be a shame, as the first half of 2011 holds the promise of splendid romantic beginnings! (If you’re married, 2011 will bring creative and similar successes.) Sleep in Sunday morning. This p.m. (through Thursday) your energy soars – tackle big things, enjoy the attention! Buy/sell midweek. Errands, Friday/Saturday.

Oct. 10 - Oct. 16 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be ambitious. Think about future paths, possibilities Sunday morning. Then spend this p.m. through Tuesday evening in rest, planning, research, preparation and dealings with “permission agencies” (government, institutions, “head office”). (Attend to health issues, also.) Charge forth Wednesday/Thursday – ask favours, ask to see important people, make presentations, initiate projects. You’ll succeed! Money’s the subject (and object) Friday/Saturday. All month, your hopes are tied up with love and work. A co-worker romance might be growing more serious. There’s no harm in this! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A sweet, mellow, easy week, with a focus on intellectual interests, far travel, education, publishing, culture and love. (These slow mildly to late 2012.) Perform a money chore Sunday morning. Your optimism and popularity surge this eve to Tuesday. Accept and issue invitations, envision the future and sign on for entertainment. A wish might come true (perhaps not a romantic one). Rest, retreat Wednesday/Thursday. Plan and contemplate, think about your shifting spiritual and charity beliefs. Your energy and charisma return strongly Friday/Saturday. Romance is a definite maybe. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on mystery, depths, lust, big finances, subconscious urges, lifestyle changes, deep health factors, commitment and consequence. These deep currents are overlaid with a romantic, loving, and “intellectually beautiful” atmosphere. It could be the right time to say “Yes” to someone or something! (Though, frankly, there’s no rush – next week’s good also, as is most of the rest of 2010.) Be ambitious Sunday eve to Tuesday. Wishes can come true Wednesday/Thursday, though it’s more likely you’ll simply experience optimism and quiet social joys. Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

PRICES TOO LOW TO ADVERTISE Just wanted to thank Team Diverse, and the outstanding installers working with Diverse Flooring. Right from start to finish we were impressed with the professional, courteous manner of everyone on your team. We were called each day to confirm the time the installers would arrive and were continually called to make sure we were happy and if there was anything you could do for us. The end results are fantastic; we love all our new flooring and would highly recommend Diverse Flooring! Enthusiastically
