Minimum wage hike welcomed

Chamber president says a higher minimum wage will have a “minimal effect” on the economy.

Social Responsibility Week

Kids spotlight intolerance The horrors of past atrocities were on display in a room at Maple Ridge Secondary on Tuesday.

by Troy Landreville tlandreville@mrtimes.com

Walk into a converted classroom inside Maple Ridge Secondary and one might think they’d walked into a nightmare.

In actuality, it’s a faux house of horrors – a museum of the macabre created by 120 Comparative Civilizations 12 students to bring into focus the atrocities ignited by intolerance through human history.

The “genocide museum” was built to reinforce Social Responsibility Week, from March 14 to 18 at Maple Ridge Secondary.

Teacher Mark Beale headed up the project and said it has been a learning experience for all involved.

“The students have learned a lot about the topic of genocide and being aware of social issues and working in groups to create something as intricate as this,” Beale said. “It’s about tolerance and that’s what we’re trying to do through the school with our Social Responsibility Week.”

Every student in the school did a tour Tuesday, and the room was open for two hours in the evenings for parents and public to view. The display closed Thursday at noon.

“The students are here and conduct the entire tour,” Beale told the TIMES. It took about a month for the students to transform the classroom into a grisly display, with the goal of bringing awareness to torture and genocide.

Prior to entering, students and visitors were shown a video showing a recent genocide in Rwanda.

Once inside, visitors were immediately greeted with props displaying the atrocities committed by 15th century Romanian prince Vlad the Impaler, and

the burning alive of suspected witches during the late 17th century.

However, three-quarters of the room brings into focus the Holocaust of Jews that transpired in Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Propaganda posters fill the walls, the voice of Hitler, shown on side-byside TV screens, frantically bellowing his message of hate to the people of Germany, booms through the corridors.

And finally, visitors were witness to the horrors of a Jewish concentration camp, including a gas chamber.

Beale said genocide is still prevalent today, noting there are several countries still under watch.

“Amnesty International is watching the situations in certain countries because the steps toward genocide are already taking place,” he said.

The students did an excellent job putting the museum together, Beale said.

This is about the 10th project that we’ve done here in the school and they’ve all been very good.”

The minimum wage in B.C. will be $10.25 in May 2012, giving a boost to the lowest paid workers.

The new minimum wage will be phased in over the next 14 months, and the $6 per hour training wage will be gone by May, premier Christy Clark announced on Wednesday.

“I think there’s a recognition from business owners that (minimum wage has) stayed there for a long time,” said Marc Dalton, Liberal MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission.

He added that with the economy growing, raising the minimum wage will help young people and others tied to the $8 wage, especially entry workers and immigrants.

The minimum wage will increase to $8.75 on May 1, to $9.50 on Nov. 1, and to $10.25 on May 1, 2012. The increase will Marc Dalton be slightly lower for alcoMaple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA hol servers who also get tips for their service.

The economy grew by three per cent last year and is projected to grow by 2.5 per cent this year, Dalton said, therefore, it’s time to bring up wages for low income earners.

Dalton pointed out that only 40,000 workers in the province are paid minimum wage and for full-time minnimum-wage earners, it will mean $4,000 more per year.

Jeremy Bekar, president of the Chamber of Commerce serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, said the increase in minimum wage will have a “minimal effect” on the economy, probably causing an increase in costs which will raise the cost of goods.

“We’re aware this will increase inflationary pressures raising the cost for goods in our area,” Bekar said.

Bekar said he didn’t know many businesses that paid minimum wage, but those who do will just pass on the increased costs.

“In the long-term, it’s just a fact of life,” Bekar said. “It’ll get passed on to consumers.”

One local actress, crew member, and producer is tired of reading about the negative side to the HST. Bina Binti has been working in the film industry since 2003, and said when the HST came into effect last July, it was a benefit to the filming community in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

“Without the HST tax credit incentive one of the first things to go would be the outer edges filming locations,” said Binti.

The HST, like the GST before it, is recoverable for the film industry in B.C., and according to the B.C. Film Commission, the harmonization of the PST and GST results in lower costs of production as the industry is no longer required to pay the unrecoverable PST. “The HST is a welcome relief to the film industry as it is a recoverable tax, unlike the PST, resulting in lower production costs,” confirmed Marg Johnson, film production liaison for Maple Ridge.

“In addition to actual cost savings, it will also reduce sales tax compliance time and costs,” she added.

Binti said she understands that for many businesses and families, the HST is not welcome at all.

“It’s expensive for those productions to come and film further out,” she said, “but taking away the HST would drastically reduce the number of productions and money being spent here in my opinion.”

Johnson said there are currently six productions filming in Maple Ridge in March, compared to three in March of last year.

“The increase isn’t necessarily attributable to just the HST, but it certainly does help,” she said.

Last year there were fewer also due to the Winter Olympics as productions chose to film elsewhere.

“Another benefit to productions filming out here,” added Johnson, “is that they receive an additional six per cent regional tax credit for

filming outside of the designated Vancouver area.”

“It has a lot of beneficial effect in our community,” said Binti, and it is not unusual to see trucks and tents set up around Maple Ridge and inside local buildings.

“It’s also great for students’ summer jobs, working as background performers,” she added.

Binti said the film industry could be hurt-

ing a little due to the Canadian dollar being so high, but industry forecasts for 2011 are still positive despite the dollar increase, said Johnson.

“From an accounting perspective, [film productions] are benefiting from the HST tax incentive,” added Binti.

In B.C. in general, film and television production spending in 2010 totalled $1.01 billion, according to the commission.

A total of 246 productions were shot in B.C. in 2010 including Human Target, Eureka, Fringe, Hellcats, 1001 Nights, and Thomas and Friends.

Squamish resident Sue Ellis was doing traffic control along Kennedy Road Tuesday, while crews finished work on approaches to the new bridge in rural Pitt Meadows.

Pitt Meadows

Bridge nears completion Construction took six months.

by Brian Russell

editorial@mrtimes.com

Both lanes are now open on Kennedy Road bridge in Pitt Meadows, finally allowing regular traffic to cross again after six months of construction.

The bridge, part of the route that spans the Katzie Slough, was closed in September to allow the city to tear down the original wooden structure and replace it with a more durable concrete one.

One lane for alternating traffic had been open since Dec. 31 of last year.

Width is one of the biggest features of the updated bridge, now allowing for easier truck access and bike lanes.

According to Ike de Boer, engineering services coordinator for Pitt Meadows, the project was pretty much on budget. It might even come in under budget.

“Due to utility issues, [the construction] got started a little later than scheduled,” said de Boer.

However, he said the construction as a whole wasn’t very difficult.

Our View

Expectations past minimum Even hard-right business organizations whose policy doctrines suggest they would be OK with sub-Saharan wages in B.C. are offering only halfhearted resistance to Premier Christy Clark’s plan to raise the minimum wage. That’s how long overdue this province is for a move towards the standard set everywhere else in Canada.

Naturally, organizations at the other end of the scale are complaining that the $10.25 minimum is not enough, or that it is being implemented too slowly.

Clark’s game plan is to raise the working poor’s bottom line in increments, reaching the full $10.25 per hour on May 1, 2012.

Announcements that the minimum wage is being raised from the current $8 per hour miss an important aspect of Clark’s wage hike: the ridiculous $6 minimum “training wage,” supposedly intended to ease young people into the workforce but often abused by unscrupulous employers as a means to obtain super-cheap labour, will be scrapped as of May 1 this year.

That decision even earned Clark plaudits from her foes in the Opposition benches, although the New Democrats and others have been quick to point out that the new premier is contemplating allowing a different minimum-belowminimum standard for some who work in the service industry. Clark is considering a plan to mitigate the extra money that alcohol servers earn in gratuities – apparently on the premise that lowlevel labourers shouldn’t be capitalizing on windfalls that could be raked in by their employers instead.

The NDP wanted the minimum raised to $10 four years ago, when Clark’s predecessor and his cohorts maintained it wasn’t necessary, because market forces in those better economic times would drive up the minimum naturally. But the market forces haven’t done their job, and now that past-necessary wage hike will be fielded by small businesses crunched by the HST, the continuing global recession, and in some cases, customer reticence born of changes to drinking-and-driving laws.

Future crunches could be avoided by extending the incremental minimum wage hikes past May next year, with further – small and reasonably anticipated – increases tied to inflation.

Education

Extended break ridiculous

Dear editor,

I write you in regards to your article [District floats two-week spring break, March 8, TIMES].

My daughter is just in the second grade, but what’s happening in School District #42 is just ridiculous.

The proposed shortening of a school year by another six days, this is madness.

Between all those noninstructional days (can’t they educate themselves during summer holidays), spring break, and half-day Fridays (8:30-12 every Friday) my holidays are already gone.

My wife’s holidays are mostly burned on kid’s sick days. And that’s even before the two months of summer holidays begin.

Now they want to add another six days to save the district $200,000?

Those six extra days that the parents will have to stay at home or pay someone at the daycare add up to a minimum of $500,000 (average of $35/day per 15,357 kids for daycare), probably much more in lost wages if you have to take time off work.

Dear BCTF: keep alienating the hands that feed

you. One day those who pay taxes will turn their backs on you too.

Artur Siewierski, Maple Ridge

Federal politics

Fighter jets too costly Dear editor,

Lately, there has been much talk about government accountability. Yet, each week we have another account of the “Harper” governments refusal to be accountable.

It must be pretty serious for the Speaker of the House to rule the ‘Harper government’ in contempt of Parliament because they refused to divulge the cost of their crime legislation and for misleading statements by International Minister Bev Oda who intentionally misled the House.

Now the Parliamentary Budget Officer reports that the cost of the new fighter jets will be more than twice what the government predicted.

Where are their priorities? $30 billion is what the federal government currently spends each year on health care. So remember, as you wait for that needed medical procedure, that money went for jet fighters. That should reduce the pain.

Environment

Waste not wanted in backyards Dear editor,

The idea of solar cones caught my attention [Food digester cuts garbage in half, March 8, TIMES].

I understand the “going green,” the “protecting of the environment, “and “reducing waste going to the landfills.” But once again, it looks like the concept wasn’t thought out properly.

Where are condo or apartment residents (and there are substantial numbers) going to be able to dig a one-by-one-metre hole in the ground, if at their residence there is no

available space for say 50 tenants to dig 50 holes for the solar cones. Does this also include restaurants and other sellers of food to be required to dig holes next to their establishments and use solar cones?

Perhaps it would be more prudent for the municipality to collect the food waste (the same way they do recycling) and sell it to a company that would compost it in bulk.

Also, placement of the solar cones requires sunlight to help in the process of composting. If one has a small yard and that area

Federal politics

Canada’s identity lost Dear editor,

It was revealed recently that civil servants in Stephen Harper’s cabinet had been ordered, in a directive in December 2010, that all federal communications – for example, press releases – had to change the wording of their missives by replacing the Government of Canada with the words “The Harper Government.”

If you go to the Government of Canada website you’ll find the same.

Has Canada lost its identity and sense of national sovereignty and pride?

Prime Minister Harper appears to think so.

Incandescent outrage, you’d better believe it.

Next misnomer on the plate for all Canadians?

You guessed it! President Harper.

Jeanette Campbell, Mission

gets the most sunlight, would the owner or tenant be willing to put a solar cone in a prime area of their property?

More thought has to be given to the declaration that, as of next year, food waste will not be allowed to go to the landfill.

I think that having a composter in your yard – in which you’ll be throwing meat products – will become a magnet for rats.

If Maple Ridge implements this on the homeowners, condo, and apartment dwellers, the same thing will happen again that happened when the waste dump raised its rates. You will see more and more garbage being tossed out alongside our roads and streets.

Perhaps our municipal councillors and some of their staff should go to the Greater Vancouver landfill and see how successful their recycling efforts are.

It would be better to educate our populace about the benefits of recycling than going ahead with a do-it-our-way-or-you-willbe-fined attitude.

I do have a composter, and I’m very aware of having to recycle.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services hosted an open house to display the plans for a proposed addition to Harris Road Park.

Of the handful of people who showed up, they seemed positive about creating a meeting place for youth to freely enjoy a variety of action sports, including skateboarding, in-line skating, and biking.

Parks staff and members of the steering committee were present to give more detail on the concepts.

Bruce McLeod, manager of parks and open space, said if the concepts are approved by city council, construction could start in early April.

The project is expected to take three months to complete and cost $600,000.

YouTube video mocks Pickton killings

A comedic song about Robert Pickton is stirring up anger among victims’ family members.

by Amy Judd

ajudd@mrtimes.com

pittmeadows

Maple Ridge resident Sandra Gagnon was shocked and disturbed by what she found on the Internet last weekend.

Gagnon, whose sister Janet Gail Henry went missing from the Downtown Eastside 14 years ago, and whom she believes was killed on Robert Pickton’s farm, saw a video of comedian Richard Lett singing a song titled ‘The Ballad of Bobby Pickton.’

It was uploaded to YouTube on Feb. 14, 2007, and despite requests to remove the video, it is still available for viewing.

“I’m pretty angry that Richard Lett is making a joke out of the women who were murdered on

TIMES’ files

Sandra Gagnon was appalled to find a YouTube video of a comedian’s song about Robert Pickton called ‘The Ballad of Bobby Pickton’ last weekend. the Pickton farm,” said Gagnon.

“What also got me too was the audience laughing,” she added. “Comedy is comedy, but this isn’t comedy.”

In the song, Lett uses an upbeat tune to describe Pickton picking up prostitutes downtown and taking them back to his farm.

Some of his lyrics include lines such as “the rope was tight, the knife was sharp, she barely felt a thing. Bobby kicked up the generator and started

processing.”

“Who does he think he is?” asked Gagnon. “He even talks about the pigs.”

Two years ago, Lett commented on the YouTube video saying, “This performance is crass, racist, graphic and violent, and, oh yes, misogynist. That’s the point!”

On Tuesday, he wrote, “It was four years ago, and never intended for those people who knew the victims. It is intended to shock people out of their complacency about these

sorts of things ... The anger you feel towards me is misdirected. You think I did this piece because I don’t care — in fact the opposite is true.”

Gagnon, who has found solace and comfort talking to people on Facebook, some of whom are family members of Pickton’s victims, said it is uncalled for when people make a mockery of people who were brutally murdered.

“When I see stuff like this, it opens it all up again,” she said. “It’s like opening old wounds.”

One of Gagnon’s friends has started a Facebook group called Is This How We Want Our Stolen Sisters Remembered?

Anyone can join and help in the group’s efforts to remove the video from YouTube and other Internet sites.

Residents in east Maple Ridge can now put their recycling on the curb for pickup.

Recycling

Blue boxes proliferate Pickup of recycling has expanded to east Maple Ridge.

March 4 marked the first day Maple Ridge residents living on the north side of Dewdney Trunk Road, between 256th and 272nd Streets, had their blue-box recyclables collected from the curb.

“On the first day, over 45 per cent of houses had their blue boxes and bags out for pickup,” said Lorne Skoropada, the recycling centre’s logistics manager.

“It was unbelievable how clean and well-sorted their recycling was...”

“These residents are used to storing up their recycling and taking it to the recycling depot once a month, so the volume of recyclables collected was also impressive — almost 2,000 kilograms,”

he explained.

As part of Ridge Meadows Recycling Society’s ongoing efforts to improve pickup methods and energy efficiency, new specially designed trucks help keep the commodities separate while lowering the carbon tire tread.

“Instead of 10 small bins, the new trucks have five large bins, taking into account high-volume commodities like newspaper and plastic,” Skoropada said.

“The space on the truck bed is better utilized and... the truck body is made of 100 per cent aluminum, making it much lighter than our older trucks, which means better fuel efficiency,” he elaborted.

The new design fits all the recycling from the new route into one load, saving time, gas and energy.

Fridays are the pickup day for this new area. Pickup begins at 7 a.m.

Trucks collected recyclables from new customers in northeast Maple Ridge.

School district seeks break input Some trustees had reservations about extending spring holiday.

by Maria Rantanen

mrantanen@mrtimes.com

The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board is seeking public input about a proposal to have a two-week spring break next year.

School District 42 staff calculated the extra days off would save the school district $200,000.

“It’s a small step toward a balanced calendar,” board chair Ken Clarkson told the TIMES. However, some trustees had reservations about going to a two-week break.

At last week’s board of education meeting, some trustees questioned the educational benefits of extending spring break.

School board director David Vandergugten said when he worked in the north, teachers came back refreshed after a two-week spring break, which was overall good for learning.

The board of education passed a motion to seek input from the public about changing the calendar.

Input into proposed changes to SD42’s calendar can be made at www.sd42.ca or at a public meeting on March 29 at 7 p.m. at Thomas Haney Secondary.

The board will make its final consideration on April 13.

A Pitt resident fell into a ditch and hurt his back Wednesday afternoon.

by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

Plans to airlift a man to hospital by air ambulance were thwarted on March 16 when the helicopter blades caught telephone wires while taking off.

Pitt Meadows fire and rescue service were called to a residence Brad Perrie on McNeil Road at about 3:30 assistant fire chief p.m. Wednesday, after a man fell about 15 feet and landed in a ditch.

“The man sustained a back injury, and we assisted the B.C. Ambulance Service at the scene,” said assistant fire chief Brad Perrie.

The air ambulance arrived, as the man had to be rushed to hospital due to the nature of his spinal injury, explained Perrie. But after it landed in a field and the man was loaded aboard, it could not complete the journey.

“When it took off it hit the phone lines,” said Perrie.

“So it landed again, and we had to go get the guy and take him to the ambulance on the road.”

He explained that the helicopter had to stay in the field for a while because it has to be serviced before it can fly again.

As the fire department returned back to the station, they were rushing out again to a call on Bonson Road.

“A 65 to 70-year-old man was in full cardiac arrest,” said Perrie. “We had to hook up the defibrillator.”

They were able to revive the man.

The B.C. Ambulance Service was not far behind, and the man was rushed to hospital for further medical care.

“When he left for the hospital he was talking to us,” Perrie said. The man’s current condition is unknown.

Maple Ridge Leisure Centre received a $15,000 donation during the grand opening celebration of Westminster Savings’ new Maple Ridge location on Saturday.

The credit union held a celebration, complete with live entertainment and an interactive arts and crafts station for kids at its new location on the corner of 224th Street and Lougheed Highway.

More than 1,000 Maple Ridge residents were estimated to have attended.

Doug King, a member of the Westminster Savings Board of Directors, handed the $15,000 cheque to Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin.

The money will be used to host free family swims

More than an estimated 1,000 people were in attendance for Westminster Savings’ grand opening celebration of their downtown branch.

at the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre.

Paul Pederzini, the branch manager of the credit union, felt the event was well received by the community, even though the weather wasn’t co-

operating.

“No pun intended, but the rain didn’t dampen the spirit,” said Pederzini.

The free family swims will run on the last Saturday of every month, starting March 26.

Competition

Local bid for 2014 B.C. Seniors Games quashed Due to a lack of accommodation in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, the community will not submit a Games bid, but may partner with Langley – thanks to the bridge – on their efforts to bring the event to the region.

by Amy Judd

ajudd@mrtimes.com

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows may be working with Langley to help organize and find volunteers for the 2014 B.C. Seniors Games, if its bid is successful said Kelly Swift, parks and recreation manager for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. “[We] have submitted bids in the past,”

she said. “We weren’t successful, primarily because of the number of hotel rooms available.” Swift said the Maple RidgePitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services Commission decided it won’t submit a bid because of that same situation.

“The commission directed me to look for ways to connect with Langley if they are successful in their bid,” said Swift.

“They may even want to look for

venues in our community.”

She stressed Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows want to host the Seniors Games eventually as the commission believes the energy and the interest is present. “[We] will put forward a bid when we’re better prepared for it,” she said.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows have hosted the B.C. Disability Games twice, and the B.C. Summer Games once.

A Maple Ridge housing development recognized as one of best in B.C.

For the third time in four years, Portrait Homes, has won the Customer Choice Award from the Georgie Awards, recognized as the industry’s stamp of quality.

Portrait Homes also won the Grand Georgie Award for large volume singlefamily hHome builder of the year, an award that has been bestowed upon it five times.

Its award-winning housing is part of the Silver Ridge master-planned community in Maple Ridge, which includes single-family homes, attached row homes, and newly released townhomes.

“The customer choice award is the one I’m after the most,” said Portrait Homes co-principal Rob Grimm, who’s home building company is based in Richmond, “We poll our buyers [and guests] on our service... and they gave us good marks,” he said.

Samantha Perrin, sales representative for the Stoneleigh at Silver Ridge homes, said 240 homes have sold for Stoneleigh, with another 240 still waiting to find an owner.

With this year’s wins, Portrait Homes now holds 86 major industry provincial awards, 16 of them gold Georgies.

But not all of their recognition is strictly provincial.

In 2007, the company won the Gold SAM Award, for best residential community in Canada, also for Silver Ridge.

The SAM Awards recognizes excellence in home building and renovation.

When asked why Portrait Homes builds in Maple Ridge, Grimm said: “You know, you go where there’s an opportunity to be creative.”

Clearly, Grimm said, he jumped at the right opportunity.

Eleven people braved the rain on Sunday to pull Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry at Aldridge Acres in Maple Ridge.

A new meetup group, the Lower Mainland Green Team, hosted on Sunday by the CEED Centre, spent about four hours clearing an area that will be used as an outdoor classroom for a Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district alternative program.

The group was started just five weeks ago by Lyda Salatian who biked from

Marauders in the quarter-finals

The Pitt Meadows Marauders are in the thick of the B.C. boys’ AAA basketball championships.

Rich Goulet’s senior boys basketball team faced Terry Fox in the quarter-finals on Thursday after the TIMES’ deadline.

In their opening game of the AAA championships on Tuesday, they took on Caledonia and beat them 63-34.

Then they upended the 2007 champions, the Dover Bay Dolphins, 65-52 on Wednesday.

Point guard Malcolm Williams scored 23 points for the Marauders against the Dolphins.

The Dolphins have now been regulated to the consolation round, and the Marauders have moved on to the quarter-finals.

The Pitt boys have faced Terry Fox a number of times during the season in the Fraser Valley North league.

With two wins now under their belt, the Marauders are soaring high, but they had to fight hard to secure their spot in the championships.

They had to beat Enver Creek after losing to W.J. Mouat Hawks on March 1, or else they would have lost their spot.

The team placed fifth in the Fraser Valleys, but for Williams, who will be playing for UBC this fall, that wasn’t good enough.

“I expected us to be in the final

and win it this year,” he told the TIMES (Boys going for provincial win, March 11 Sports). “Grade 9 we won Frasers, Grade 10 we won Frasers and the last two seasons we’ve come a little bit short, and it definitely does not feel good.”

The team is ranked seventh in the province, and are hoping for a fourth place finish at this year’s provincials.

The Marauders own a 28-8 overall record and went 8-2 in league play with a relatively young starting lineup, starting four Grade 11s and one Grade 12 until Christmas. Since late January, that group including Williams and Grade 11s Severinski, Blackaby, Ryan Hopson and Mitsu Iwai has started every game.

“This would be the youngest starting lineup that Pitt has ever fielded at a Triple A provincial tournament,” said Goulet, who noted teams “laden with seniors” usually did the best at provincials.

“You don’t have to look any further than Pitt Meadows,” he said.

“We’ve been in the final four times, and finished first twice and finished second twice. And our starting lineup was entirely seniors on all those teams.”

Pitt played Thursday at 3 p.m. and the tournament ends on Saturday.

Before a call went out for help from the community, (Rustlers seeking help to get to provincial tourney, March 15, TIMES), the Ridge Meadows Rustlers Bantam A3 hockey team received $2,000 from the Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey Association for their ride.

The team lost their opening game to Carson Graham from North Vancouver, 53-40, but that was their only loss.

“Our scoring troubles were once again the problem,” said

Herman, “as only team for most of three players hit the game, missthe scoresheet.” ing easy shots However, he and not really said their defence getting organized was good, and to run our sets on that made it offence,” Herman hard for Carson added.

“Kolbie Orum had another super game offensively with 38 points,” he added.

Now with a sixth place finish on the books, the team, minus three Grade 12s, will be looking to come back stronger than ever.

“Our overall record was 40 wins and 14 losses,” said Herman.

“Kolbie Orum was unstoppable scoring 39 points in our final game,” he added, “[and] she led the tournament in scoring, averaging 34 points a game.”

Kolbie was also selected to the first all-star team.

“Quite an accomplishment for a Grade 10 player,” he said.

Orum won the tournament scoring title, and finished with 135 points over Maple Ridge’s four games.

U19 ringette provincials were held in Burnaby last weekend.

PoCo-Ridge Meadows ringette U19 team captured gold at the provincial championships after a four-game round-robin.

The team was 3-1 at the end of Saturday, and took on Shuwshap on Sunday for the medal. With a final score of 7-4, the girls, and the lone boy, Shane, celebrated with a gold medal photo on the ice.

Hustlers take championship The Bantam C6 Hustlers won its banner game against Coquitlam on Sunday, March 13.

A young team became league champions and playoff champions with their recent win at Pitt Meadows arenas.

During the regular season the Hustlers went 18-4-2, and had a playoff series of 7-0-1. The Bantam C6 team then beat Coquitlam 5-2 last Sunday afternoon for the championship titles.

“It was a hard fought game with Coquitlam scoring the first goal,” said spokesperson Drew Allan.

“The Hustlers rallied by scoring two short-handed goals,” he added.

However, when Coquitlam tied the game in the second period, the Hustlers had to battle back once again, and they were able to take a three-goal lead.

“Coquitlam made them work their hearts out to the very end,” said Allan.

The Hustlers also won the Cloverdale Bantam C Tournament over the Christmas and New Year break, by going to the final and beating the Mission Vipers 3-2 with 28.5 seconds on the clock in the five minute overtime period.

This weekend the Hustlers travel to Gibsons for the Sunshine Coast Spring Break tournament.

Competition

Ridge climbers soar in Banff

by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

It was a long, tough few days of competition, but the results were worth it.

Sara Hopkins, Carly Turner, Jarred Plamondon, Christy Spurrell and Julie Huff competed against Alberta’s best youth climbers, on their way to regionals, and hopefully nationals.

Day one started in Banff, where the five climbers competed in a Red Point competition where they had to climb as many routes as they could and were scored by their top seven completed climbs, explained owner of the Rock Wall and head coach Terry Spurrell.

“The team started off a little nervous,” he said, “but quickly settled in to put on an impressive show of strength and ability.”

Hopkins clinched first place in her category after pushing through a powerful last climb with what Terry called “amazing effort” as the final buzzer sounded.

Christy Spurrell and Plamondon both finished second, and Huff “had the crowd cheering with a dramatic and hair-raising climb on one of the longest routes across the roof, finishing in fifth place,” said Terry.

Turner finished sixth place.

Terry explained that this year was the first time the Banff Climbing Centre and North Face awarded the climbing team with the top aggregate points with the North Face team challenge cup.

The Rock Wall climbing team won top honours, and received a trophy and a $100 gift card, which they used for a celebratory dinner in the Banff Centre.

“The competition for the award was very tough,” he said, “making the win extra special.”

“It was a very long 11hour competition for the team so they didn’t have much time to enjoy the moment with the next comp[etition] only hours away,” Terry added.

His daughter Christy, who has been climbing for 10 years, found the long days the most challenging part of the competition.

“We take lots of breaks, and it’s good to have friends on the team to keep you motivated,” she said.

The 17-year-old said everyone had such good climbs at the event, and

managed to stay positive, and that contributed to their success.

The on-sight competition was held on the Sunday at the Vision Climbing gym in Canmore, and Terry

explained that this kind of competition means that the athletes are kept in an isolation area and only have one try at each climb. They are scored by how far they make it up the route.

“The Rock Wall five put in one of their strongest performances in both of these back-to-back competitions,” he said.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar now through the weeks ahead! Your luck hits a 13 year peak. It’s a splendid time to begin major projects, one of the best times in your life. But some advice: 1) projects that aren’t meant to work will “fail” (or give signals of demise – some subtle) by March 28; 2) it’s better to start after March 28; 3) for success, this project should be connected to a past person, project or situation; and 4) it’s best (for easy progress) to steer clear of ambition, career and investment. Chase far travel, gentle love and intellectual things.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Retreat, rest, find sweet solitude for the few weeks ahead. Your energy is low, but your spiritual,planning and administrative abilities are strong. Deal with institutions, civil servants, government – they could have a “treasure” for you.

Contemplate and plan. Be charitable. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flow smoothly Monday noon to Thursday, but you might meet a bit of deception midday Wednesday. A good investment opportunity can arise Thursday morning – seek it! Finish chores this week, as slowdowns and indecision start soon.

Saturday’s mellow, but not profitable.

Gemini May 21-June 20: A major wish might come true over the weeks ahead. It will probably be a wish about a relationship, romance, marriage (or divorce), about litigation, negotiation, friendship/ popularity – but it won’t be limited to these. It will very likely involve an ongoing or past situation, person or project. Now is the time to reprise the past, in a big way! Romantic or creative urges sweeten Sunday and early Monday. But settle down to chores Monday afternoon to Wednesday noon – all goes smoothly enough. Big opportunities face you Wednesday eve, Thursday. Be alert! Don’t trust “independence.”

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your clout, reputation are high among the powers that be. Step forward now through the weeks ahead, exhibit your skills, show your record, seek bigger responsibilities. Your career sector is under splendid, expansive rays of luck! However, several cautions: 1) you might meet opposition (or pursue the least lucky position under a misguided notion of responsibility) before March 29; 2) your best action will be taken after March 28; and 3) the best project, boss, etc., will probably be linked to the past – something brand new might have a built-in “go in circles” direction-finder.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are very significant in intellect, education, media, publishing, far travel, international dealings, law, cultural rituals, religion, life philosophy, fame and especially, love. Your creative talents find a wide audience.

The most valuable gift: understanding. A few cautions: 1) headwinds, probably involving health or employment factors, assail you in these areas until March 28; 2) Mercury goes retro soon, so it isn’t the best time to start new projects. Your luck will be better with ongoing or old, revived projects, loves, situations. Romance Wednesday-Friday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Great, significant change arrives in the weeks ahead. It might be huge, obvious; or it might merely be a shift in direction that steers your next eight years (and beyond, because nothing returns). Finances, intimacy, health, and, less directly, employment/work can be deeply affected. Generally, this is a very lucky time. However, a couple of cautions: You’ll make much better headway after March 28; to this date, obstacles appear in money and love. To succeed, stick with an ongoing or return to a past sexual, domestic/property, financial or employment situation. Be optimistic!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Important, life-directionchanging opportunities face you over the next four weeks, mainly in love, partnership, relocation, negotiation, agreements, litigation, dealings with the public, marriage and divorce. You can see events as opportunities or as challenges, even as threats of defeat. But even the worst case will be a “win” in that it grants you freedom. To succeed, see another’s point of view, fulfil another’s desire(s). Conciliate, encourage, merge, find common ground – easier after March 28. Stick to ongoing/past people/projects – brand new ones have an Achilles heel.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Great luck comes to your employment sphere over the weeks ahead.

Your hours or tasks are almost certain to increase, and your income with it. This might be short-term (e.g. overtime hours) or more permanent (e.g. a pay raise). Aim, if you can, for the permanent. But whatever occurs, it will cause a change in direction that lasts for eight years. Apply this luck (via your efforts) to a situation, job, project that is ongoing, or returns from the past. Initiating a brand-new project might lead to eight years of “on/off” work disruptions. Money luck Thursday. By mid-year, new luck!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The month ahead is one of the most important – and luckiest – in a decade, maybe many decades. You might experience a big, obvious event, or a less marked but significant “turn” that heads you in a new, exciting direction, in creative, speculative, risk-taking, romantic, pleasure or beauty zones. Two secondary elements play an important role: 1) communications or travel, and 2) your personality. Relationships will be sober, or deal with a realistic environment. Through March 28, obstacles exist; be patient, then leap! Avoid brand new projects/people: reprise the past.

Mar. 20 - Mar. 26 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead feature much luck on domestic, property, therapy, healing, nature, gardening, agriculture, security, retirement,child-oriented,foundational and nurturing fronts. This is a great time to buy a house, have a child, or expand business territory (“foundational”).

What you pursue should be something ongoing or from the past (e.g., a house you wanted to buy before but couldn’t). “Dilemma” choices face you through March 28, so proceeding after this is easier. What you do now will affect your income and spending for the next eight years. Think “cornerstone.”

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead can bring much indecision. You might see people around you making big moves, having luck pour onto them, and you can think: what about me? Don’t worry, your big luck runs from this June to June 2012 – whereas everybody “lucking out” now will get little June onward. Meanwhile, your communications, mail, friends, siblings, travel, paperwork and curiosity will expand in interesting ways. Problems and obstacles arise through March 28, so go slow in the areas listed. Stick to former or ongoing projects and people: the brand new will bring future delays.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature earnings, spending, possessions, sensuality and rote learning – in powerfully lucky ways. Your career and earnings can climb a ladder to new heights. For career, read “status” – for example, “marrying up” is a status move. (Great career hints Thursday morning.) Expect obstacles through March 28 – be patient, then leap! Since your relationships are headed for a period of delay and “circling,” you’ll fare best if you stick to ongoing or (probably luckier) past contacts and projects than if you try to launch new boats into new waters.
