Maple Ridge could be home to a new family-friendly aerial adventure course, including zip lines, walkways and bridges suspended between trees in Maple Ridge Park if council approves the idea. WildPlay Element Parks, which already operates in Nanaimo, Whistler and Victoria, wants to start an aerial adventure course this summer. Maple Ridge council will vote on the proposal at tonight’s meeting. WildPlay would design, construct and manage two aerial adventure courses. The company estimates it would spend $760,000 to build the project and would have 21,000 clients by the end of its third year. The district would shut down Maple Ridge campground if the proposal goes ahead. David Boag, director of parks and facilities at the District of Maple Ridge, told council local residents are concerned about traffic and parking if the facility is built because both are already a challenge. People also expressed concern about the environmental impact of the site. WildPlay is hoping to open the business by mid-June and would need four to six weeks to build the courses. Boag said the operation would boost local tourism and its location just before the heavily used Golden Ears Provincial Park would help ensure its success. A tree inventory survey has already been done and the trees that would be used are ideal and sound, said Boag. Boag added that the company would have a “licence to occupy” not a lease so the district would maintain full control of the land the operation was situated on.

Emma Roberts-Ruttan, 3, examines the various strange and exciting soaps of Samantha’s Silly Soaps at the Haney Farmers Market last Saturday. The market will officially open on May 8. See story on Page 5. WildPlay has told the district it would offer free tickets to parks and leisure services that could be distributed. Councillor Craig Speirs said he’s “completely intrigued” by the idea and it would take an “underproductive asset,” the campground, and bring in a profit for the district. He said the proposal is a way of creating economic development by maximizing the beauty of the municipality and he said he hopes it would attract other similar businesses. Speirs said there’s a growing demand for family recreational activities where families can play together. Councillor Linda King questioned whether there’s been adequate consultation with the community. Boag said there’s been three open houses and the district sent out e-mails and called people to let them know about the open houses, as well as advertising them in local newspapers.

WE’RE CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!

King also said the business opening up would mean “we’re going to be inundated with people.” She said the district will have to be prepared and can’t allow people to park anywhere and everywhere or “it’ll just be a nightmare.” King said there could also be an impact on the river. She added she likes the way Maple Ridge Park is right now and is leery about its character changing. However, she added she understands the need to entice young people and keep people physically active. “We don’t want to damage where it’s going to be located because it’s a very beautiful place right now,” she said. Boag said the company is proposing to expand an existing parking lot and is hoping to negotiate with the Eagles Hall to use some of their parking for overflow parking. People would be expected to book in advance to use the aerial adventure courses so they wouldn’t just drop in. There would also be a maximum capacity for the num-

ber of people who could be on the course at one time. He said that would limit the number of people trying to park there at the same time. Boag said a parking study has found the “worst case scenario” would be 50 cars at one time and the expanded parking lot would be able to handle more than 60 cars. Mike Murray, general manager of community development and parks and recreation, said camping at Maple Ridge Park has been “problematic,” and added that allowing a campground near a residential area isn’t ideal. He said the environmental impacts on the site would likely be lower once the campground is gone. Councillor Cheryl Ashlie called it a “huge, huge opportunity to sell the rest of Maple Ridge.” She said once people are here the district could promote other aspects of the municipality. She said the business would also provide work for youth who need summer jobs and have problems

finding them in the community. If the proposal goes ahead there would be a caretaker on site for after hours security and site maintenance. The business would include a kids’ course for children from seven to 13 and an adult course. Activities would include zip lines, suspended bridges, tightropes, rope swings, hanging nets, swinging logs, aerial wall climbing and ladders. As part of the design project WildPlay will do a feasibility study including an arborist to ensure trees aren’t damaged. If council approves the project WildPlay would pay the district a base rent of $32,000 for the first year, paid only for the months the park is operating. In years two to five the district would receive $32,000 a year or four per cent of gross revenue, whatever is higher. In years six to ten the district would be paid $36,000 a year or five per cent of gross revenue, whatever is higher.

Bernie Constable (left), Ardine Joss and Elmer Thiessen have all benefitted from Toastmasters.

Pitt public speaking forum to be launched AMY STEELE asteele@mrtimes.com Bernie Constable remembers the days when just introducing himself in front of an audience led to his knees knocking together. “I was terrified,” said Constable. However, since he became a Toastmasters member four years ago he’s now the president of the Spoken Word club in Burnaby and gives education sessions at conferences. “Toastmasters really does work,” he said. Elmer Thiessen joined Toastmasters for the first time in 1975 because his boss told him to. He quit for a number of years but was inspired to rejoin after he had to make a presentation to Abbotsford City Hall in 2001 about the unfairness of charging landlords if their tenants had grow ops. His presentation was in a TV story that evening. “I turned on the TV, saw myself speaking and said that’s terrible, that’s awful but I know to fix it,” he said. Ardine Joss said she originally became a member of Toastmasters because she was curious, quit for a while but decided to return because she was around “a

lot of people who spoke poor English and grammar and I was picking up bad habits.” Joss said one of the best things she’s learned is how not to use “filler words” such as um, ah, so and like. “There’s a lot of challenges in Toastmasters. It’s not just about public speaking. It’s about gaining confidence in yourself,” she said. “This exercises your mind to think on your feet.” Constable, Joss and Thiessen spoke to the TIMES to promote the formation of a new Toastmasters club in Pitt Meadows. It will have its inaugural meeting this Thursday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. at Pitt Meadows City Hall. Thiessen said “some people are more afraid of public speaking than of death” but he said Toastmasters can change that. For him Toastmasters offers four main selling points: the ability to become an effective public speaker, the opportunity to have your public speaking evaluated so you can improve, the chance to learn to think on your feet and the opportunity to chair meetings. “You have no alternative but to improve your selfesteem and self confidence,” he said.

Joss said Toastmasters also helps with your leadership skills through chairing meetings and evaluating speeches because you need to learn to be diplomatic and how to interact with a variety of personalities, as well as mediation and negotiation skills. The members said Toastmasters is also helpful for people learning English as a second language. Toastmasters is also a social organization. “The club becomes like a family where everyone is there helping and supporting each other,” said Constable. The three members also like the fact that Toastmasters is an international organization. “You can literally travel around the world and not feel alone,” said Constable. Constable went to a club in Hawaii and they immediately asked him to evaluate a speech. Toastmasters can also be education. Joss said she learns a lot through the speeches members make. The other day she learned various facts about raccoons she didn’t know before. Toastmasters members give prepared speeches but they also sometimes have to give a two-minute speech

on a topic without any preparation. Audience members evaluate their performance. However, Thiessen said members are allowed to “cheat, lie and change the subject” of the impromptu two-minute speech. The most difficult speech Thiessen ever had to make was about “how to handle grief and how to help people in grief because I’ve been there.” The challenge was not getting too emotional to continue to speech. One of Joss’s most challenging experiences was reading aloud from a text because members are expected to incorporate emotion, body language and eye contact while reading. In advanced stages of To a s t m a s t e r s m e m b e rship members learn to give speeches to hostile audiences, a skill that would come in handy in various situations, especially potentially as a manager or boss. Toastmasters has become so ingrained in Constable’s life that his wife jokes when they go to different church services “don’t evaluate the pastor.” If you’re interested in joining the new club it costs $100 to join and then $66 for six months or $120 for a year. Meetings are once a week.

Three Ridge Meadows RCMP officers have received commendations for helping emotionally disturbed people in the community. Cpl. Dave Ewert received a commendation from Chief Superintendent Gary Bass, commanding officer of E Division, for helping prevent an emotionally disturbed man from shooting himself on March 24. Ewert talked to the man for two hours while the man sat in his backyard while pointing a handgun at his head. Trained negotiators then arrived and managed to get the man to put down his gun. Cst. Michael Turner and Cst. Amanda Priest received the Commanding Officer’s Letter of Appreciation for their actions when responding to a call about an emotionally disturbed woman who was threatening to shoot police on May 20. Cst. Jodi Lymburner and Cst. Peter MacDonald were also on the scene and will receive a commendation at a later date. The woman pointed what appeared to be a weapon at police and started approaching them but they realized she wasn’t in fact holding a weapon. They restrained and arrested her under provisions of the Mental Health Act.

Police arrest Pitt man for possession

Police seized 2.5 pounds of marijuana and arrested a 58year-old Pitt Meadows man who was seen driving erratically on Lougheed Highway. Officers stopped his car on 280 Street and detected a strong odour of marijuana. They searched his car, seized the marijuana and arrested the man. Police are recommending a charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

Police allege Whonnock shooting linked to grow-op AMY STEELE asteele@mrtimes.com

P

olice believe a man shot multiple times Thursday afternoon in Whonnock was involved in a marijuana grow rip. The shooting occurred around 1 p.m. Thursday on 272 Street. Ridge Meadows RCMP Inspector Derren Lench said the man was driven to Ridge Meadows Hospital and then taken to Royal Columbian Hospital for surgery. His injuries aren’t believed to be life threatening. Police have detained two men in connection with the shooting for questioning. One was linked to the residence the grow-op is in and the other drove the victim to the hospital. “It appears it was likely what we call a grow rip or a home invasion that’s gone wrong. Essentially these situations that are becoming common are criminals trying to break into marijuana grow situations either legal grows or unlawful grows and attempting to rip off the product,” said Lench. “It appears at this point that the individual that was shot was likely engaged in a grow rip. We don’t know

whether he was inside the residence or he was someone who had come to try to steal the marijuana. Obviously our investigation will lead us to the point where we’re comfortable saying that the shooting took place inside the residence or sort of trying to break-in.” Lench said grow rips have become “very common” and police are investigating three incidents that occurred this week in the community. In two of the cases a person was shot multiple times. In the third incident, at a grow-op where the person had a legal right to grow marijuana, weapons were produced but the criminals didn’t get into the residence, said Lench. “It is known to police that in fact that those who are at the grow who are guarding it are armed quite often with firearms and as well those that are trying to break in to steal the marijuana are also armed. That’s obviously a concern to us and a concern to the citizens of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows whom we police,” said Lench. “It’s a concern right across the Lower Mainland. We’re not the only ones being hit. It seems these home invasions are on the rise and

they are targeting illegal and legal grow operations.” Lench couldn’t comment on how many marijuana plants were in the house. T h e L ow e r M a i n l a n d Emergency Response Team was called in to ensure the residence was safe to enter. Lench couldn’t say if the victim or the two men who were detained for questioning are known to police. Lench said legal grow ops are concerning police as well as illegal grow-ops because police don’t have the right to inspect legal grow-ops. “We have to have more re g u l a t i o n s a ro u n d t h e medicinal grows,” he said. Lench said police believe the “criminal element” is “trying to get their feet in” medicinal grow-ops. “We don’t even have a right to go in there so as the criminals start to get a hold of those say you’re supposed to only grow 50 plants well they could be growing 2,000 plants,” he said. “We can’t do inspections. The fire department is concerned. BC Hydro is concerned because you don’t know how well it’s set up.” Police were unable to release information about where the victim was from and how old he is.

Ridge market to offer local fare

The Haney Farmers Market had a special preview event to coincide with Earth Day events on Saturday but it will officially reopen on May 8 with a celebratory carrot cake, fittingly made in the shape of a carrot. Mayor Ernie Daykin and local MLAs Marc Dalton and Michael Sather will be on hand to cut the cake and kick off the season. Market manager Eileen Dwillies describes the May market as “our gardeners’ market” because you can buy vegetable plants to put in your garden, as well as flowering plants. The market will have lettuce and greenhouse tomatoes and peppers, locally raised lamb and beef, starter vegetable plants, farm fresh eggs, an assortment of jams and jellies and pickles and breads, including glutonfree bread. You can also buy locally made kettle corn, lavender plants and homemade pasta. Aurelius, a musical group with two guitarists and a singer will perform throughout the day.

Ministry asks SD42 to return $204K students we have no right to claim for.” One of the main reasons for the appeal is that there is one school, Thomas Haney Secondary, that is a selfdirected, outcomes-based school and does not fit the audit process. The appeal says “THSS is a continuing progress model school which directly aligns with the principles of 21st Century learning skills,” and that the audit timeline flies in the face of the good pedagogy the schools runs with. Some THSS students complete classes by the end of October, and the school encourages them to continue adding classes during the year, The deadline to claim FTEs each year is Sept. 30, and the district is appealing that while plenty of students drop courses throughout the year, they also add courses as well. One reason for this is the work experience program. The appeal says that in the 2008-2009 school year, a total of 181 students signed up for, and successfully completed work experience 12A or 12B after Sept. 30. Because of the deadline,

Break-ins and vandalism

Police are asking residents in the 12300 block of 244 Street to be aware of suspicious activity after receiving three reports of break-ins or attempted break-ins in the area. The most recent incident occurred on April 23 when thieves tried to break open a window. However, the home’s alarm system went

chool District 42 has been asked to return $204,000 to the Ministry of Education according to the Resource Management division’s district audit. Auditors found a total of 33.75 full-time equivalents (FTE) to be ineligible for funding in the district. The Ministry of Education funds boards of education based on the number of FTEs a district has. A team of auditors came to SD42 schools to audit Kindergarten to Grade 12 enrolment, Grade 10-12 courses claimed, English as a Second Language (ESL), Aboriginal education, post-secondary transition programs, and international and out-ofprovince education. The district was given 30 days to submit an appeal to the Ministry of Education, and according to SD42’s agenda package for Wednesday’s board meeting, they did submitted an appeal prior to April 18. Appeal documents state that “under no circumstances [is] trying to claim for the

the district did not collect funding for any of those students. The district tries to do what is best for its students and allow them to take courses in order to meet their needs, even if they aren’t funded, the appeal states. Also being appealed is the audit of English Literature and English 12. The district maintains there are students who will complete eight credits worth of English 12 and Literature, but due to high demands on their time students have agreed to complete the courses “outside the timetable,” even though they don’t spend the same amount of time in seats as other students in those classes.

◗ Opinion

Scandal Cup far from our reach

A recent Ekos poll shows that 60 percent of Canadians are following L’Affaire Guergis/Jaffer. Sounds impressive, doesn’t it? Not so fast. Of that 60 percent, only 18 percent said they’re following this scandal closely. More importantly, 40 percent said they weren’t following it at all. That’s 40 per cent of Canadians who don’t give a rodent’s derriere whether Rahim Jaffer snorted a line, lobbied government officials or consorted with persons of untidy reputations. And they care even less whether Helena Guergis helped him do all of that. And no wonder. Canadians are traditionally unable to give good scandal. My research shows that not since William Lyon Mackenzie King (PM off and on from 19211948) held séances in which he talked to his mom, his several Irish terriers, Leonardo da Vinci and FDR, have we produced anything truly juicy. And even then, little was known about Mac’s penchant for communing with the dead until after his own demise in 1950. More recently, while British and American politicians were cavorting about with members (their own or other people’s) of various sexes in bathrooms, beds and bordellos, the best we had to offer was Maxime Bernier and his now ex-girlfriend Julie Couillard. In 2008, Mad Max left some important papers at the house of Our Lady of Cleavage and sure, he had to resign as foreign affairs minister.

LYN COCKBURN

Straight Talk He’s since been re-elected and word has it that he’s well on his way to political rehabilitation. Ho bloody hum. And how do you top the impact of British Members of Parliament padding their expense accounts with claims for mortgage payments on two houses or, better yet, on houses that do not exist? How can Canadians compete with claims for dog food and kitty litter? For chandeliers, groceries and porn? But the piece de scandale that will forever render Canadian misdemeanors wanting and will forever put the Brits at the top of the shocked and appalled leader board is the moat. That’s the moat around Conservative MP Douglas Hogg’s Lincolnshire manor; it is the moat so badly in need of cleaning that Hogg submitted a £2,115 (some $3,260 Cdn) expense claim. Sadly, the moat has not yet featured in the ongoing historic televised debate featuring PM Gordon Brown, David Cameron of the Conservative party and possible kingmaker Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats. I keep waiting, but so far, there has been no mention of the hoards of Picts, Normans and irate Quebecois who evidently

regularly try to cross this moat and lay siege to the manor. In this modern era, it is obvious that invaders ought not to be confronted with dirty moats. Meanwhile, we keep trying. Helena Guergis and hubby Rahim Jaffer are doing their very best and they are to be commended for their efforts ... well maybe not. So OK, Rahim was allegedly caught with cocaine; sure Helena had a tantrum in the P.E.I. airport and sure the two of them may have spent time cavorting about in expensive restaurants with shady characters. So? I personally, would not like anybody to know about the time I went to Moose Jaw and ... oh, never mind. Sadly, we are the Toronto Maple Leafs or perhaps the Toyota of dirty laundry. We strive to win the Scandal Cup but succeed only in racking up a string of near misses and outright losses. The Ekos poll also informed us that 66 percent of those Canadians who are following the G & J scandal said their confidence in politicians has been damaged. That’s 66 percent of 60% for those of you who aren’t paying attention here. So thanks to Helena and Rahim, 39.6% of Canadians now have a lower opinion of politicians than they did before. This is a bit like the idea that 39.6% of Canadians who disliked broccoli yesterday, dislike it even more today. Put another way, where is our moat?

Last week two men were shot multiple times in what police believe were robberies at marijuana grow operations and there was an unsuccessful “grow rip” where criminals were armed with guns. Recently three children were seized by the Ministry of Children and Family Development because they were living in a home with a grow-op in it. Last year Ridge Meadows RCMP busted 73 grow-ops and Superintendent Dave Walsh told Maple Ridge council that number may be only 10 per cent of the grow-ops that exist in the communities. Marijuana is an extremely lucrative drug for organized crime groups and grow-ops are bringing a new level of violence to various communities, even formerly quiet suburbs like Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Now that people are getting shot multiple times in bucolic settings like Whonnock it raises the question: What should we do about marijuana? We could build more jails and lock more people up after imposing stiff mandatory sentences for people involved in grow-ops. However, with the high rate of marijuana use in society it’s unlikely demand is going to go down and criminals will always be happy to meet that demand because there’s such a profit to be made. Alcohol prohibition didn’t prevent people from drinking. It just increased violence and profits for gangsters. As an indication of how many people smoke pot you just have to check out the recent photos of the thousands of people who showed up at an annual ‘420’ rally on April 20 in Toronto and Vancouver. Meanwhile, legalization and decriminalization are controversial and we seem afraid to go there as a society due to fear of retaliation from our largest trading partner and the fear of marijuana being a “gateway drug” into harder drug use. Interestingly, in a recent Angus Reid poll six out of ten people supported legalizing marijuana possession but 70 per cent wanted mandatory prison sentences for drug dealers and marijuana grow operators. Regardless of where people stand on legalization versus tougher sentences it’s safe to say the status quo is not a success. When guns are being used to guard grow ops and people breaking into grow-ops are also armed with guns it could be only a matter of time before innocent civilians get hurt.

Bridge benefits wanting

Editor: I find the articles concerning the development of the Pelton land to be very interesting although lacking in some areas. For me the issue is not so much the loss of land from the ALR, although I am on the side to keep it in, the issue is why is it happening so fast. The planning to decide the future of land use in the Albion Flats, land that is in a flood plain and has been nonproductive for years, has taken over 10 years whereas the Pelton application involving land that is in the middle of productive farms, seems to be on a fast track. Why? The claim that thousands of new jobs are possible is wishful thinking at best. The Golden Ears Bridge has been open for almost ten months and few if any of the promised thousands of new jobs and commercial growth are apparent. The industrial complex on the north side of the bridge has numerous vacancies and “for sale or for lease” signs abound. There are also numerous opportunities in the existing complex on our side of the bridge. What is the hurry? The only thing that Mr. Pelton’s proposal ensures is an increase of the unsightly cement monstrosities that already abound on the north side of the bridge. I believe council should put this whole issue on the back burner, the land is going nowhere, and the requirement for Mr. Pelton to come up with much more details should be demanded. If he wants to sell the land, sell it, as agricultural land and let someone who wants to farm it do so. Graham Mowatt Maple Ridge Editor’s note: Although there has been much discussion about the Pelton proposal, it has yet to be before council or the ALC.

No complaints about dilapidated buildings Editor: The Polder society has long been known as “Whining Society”– they whine about any exclusion out of the ALR. Their original

leader, Dr. Rumball has long left this area for greener pastures. Every time I drive through Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows, I see hundreds or thousands of properties which seem to be dilapidated or unattended. Why does no one complain about that? Shortages of food? Yes, maybe we will be hit by an asteroid, or perhaps a few volcanoes in this area will blow up then we don’t have to worry about food shortages. I guess all these possibilities are there. I have not noticed any shortages anywhere. And saving farmland for young farmers? Do they have the $100,000 per acre required to start farming? They couldn’t even earn enough income from the land to pay the interest on their mortgages. Or do some of the whiners expect landowners to give their land away, they have worked their asses off for many years? If anyone wants to farm, good, buy the land at market prices and start farming, than you can talk about the experience and tell us how profitable your farming is. Lance Felgnar Pitt Meadows

Farming trust fund needed

Editor: This is a dream. A council and staff that look after Maple Ridge first. When will they realize that energy costs are increasing and agricultural land needs to be treasured. There is land in Whonnock that has been farmed since the beginning of the last century. When agricultural land is rezoned substantial profits are made amounting to millions of

dollars. Never mind the confusing tactics of Mr. Hogarth. Calculate the difference between the increased value and the agricultural land value. Pass a law that half of the increase will be put in a trust fund to be administered by the agricultural land commission. Believe it or not there are countries that have similar solutions.

hile most gifts will have mom weeping with joy, some Mother’s Day booty will inspire tears of another kind, according to the results of two national surveys. Utilitarian presents – the kind that say, “I love you like a personal assistant” – were named the worst Mother’s Day gifts either given or received by 22 per cent of the 1,034 moms and adult children polled by Ipsos Reid and the Christian Children’s Fund of Canada. Within that dubious category, cleaning products and chore-related “gifts” such as vacuums and irons proved the most unwanted, followed closely by kitchenware and tools and appliances. Those presents, however, look practically sonnetworthy when compared to the gifts received by some of the 1,162 Canadian moms polled by www. y u m m y m u m m y c l u b. c a – among them, a sump pump, ankle weights, an ant farm, a bucket of fried chicken and, from one especially brave gift-giver,

Spring wet and busy at ARMS ing the 13th annual Aboriginal Environmental Days. Through participating in the activities of ARMS’ Spring Break Eco-Camp, the campers became more ecoconscience and familiar with the local natural outdoors. Every year ARMS partners with the 1st Laity View Scouts to do a local restoration program – this year it took place at Camp Lakewood. The scouts cleared garbage and invasive plant species. On April 10, they planted 400 trees in the cleared space. For the remainder of the spring we are focused on delivering hatchery and WET tours to local pre-schools and elementary and high

ARMS’ article posted in the TIMES on April 16, 2010 paper presented activities that ARMS completed last year, such as the Salmon Enhancement Program workshop. This workshop organized by ARMS, KEEPS and the Stave Valley Salmonid Enhancement Society was huge success with over 200 volunteers from across the province coming together to discuss their experiences. This year, the Alouette River Management Society has been busy with their annual Spring Break Camp, Hatchery and Watershed Education Tours (WET), restoration project with the 1st Laity View Scouts and host-

schools. ARMS is now in the midst of preparing for their funfilled summer camps. This year there are new themes and activities planned and are a must for any child, aged 6-12, who wants to add a memorable environmental experience to their 2010 summer vacation. The theme for the July 19- 23 week is “Cute but not so cuddly creatures” and will focus on exploring and investigating the interactions between specific wildlife and habitat they depend on. The following camp, “Wet n’Wild Things”, Aug. 3 to 6 will bring the campers closer to the smaller, wetter bits of the forest.

Milk cartons accepted in orange bags The polycoating on the milk cartons would contaminate all the other paper products if it was put in the other bags. So the society decided that by putting them in the orange can bag it would be easier to sort and separate at the depot. A B C Re c yc l i n g e s t a b lished support of the society includes their large metals baler located at the recycling depot in Albion. This high pressure (2400 psi) electric baler crushes three refrigerators or 5000 tin cans into one three-foot block. The strength is like the weight

ABC Recycling has expanded its partnership with Ridge Meadows Recycling Society. The Burnaby metals recycler now sponsors the society’s orange can bag. The orange bag is one of five bags used by Maple Ridge residents to recycle various tin and aluminum like cans, foil, pie plates, metal jar lids, metal bottle caps, and milk cartons. “Our orange bag is a very important part of the sorting system,” said Kim Day, Executive Director for the society. “Not only do we collect metal but milk cartons too.”

For more information about the District of Maple Ridge’s recycling program, visit rmrecycling. org or call 604-463-5545. New or replacement orange recycling bags are available to order online or at the Recycling Society on 10092 - 236th St. in Maple Ridge.

blue coming out everywhere ... It symbolizes optimism and new beginnings,” she explained. “It’s also associated with nature and the environment. So it gives us a feeling of getting away from it all. It’s refreshing; it’s soothing – one of those feel-good colours,” she added. Jones described the hot colours for 2010 as “really lively and cheerful.” “We’re going to be see-

They’re replacing the previously fashionable neutral pinks and coffeebased reds. Clean, futuristiclooking pinks will be taking the spotlight. And we can expect to see a lot of coral tones.

These cool neutrals – ash greys, near blacks and green slate tones – are being used on walls, as well as the neutral accent colour with greens and vibrant reds. The use of colour in people’s homes can help lift their spirits, Jones said. And people will soon be able to select a mood to paint their home in on CIL’s new website at www.cil.ca, which divides the colour palette into four mood groups – each representing a feeling.

Just in time for PAINT, From Page 16 They include: a mellow and comforting collection, which features serene and inviting colours; a soft and elegant collection, with colours that create a calm and sophisticated feel; a clean and playful collection, which features cheerful tones, often used in children’s rooms; and a deep and luxurious collection, which has rich and dramatic colours. CIL has even developed an online test to help people determine what mood they’d like to create and what ambience they’d like to create in their home. A colour co-ordinator tool is also being made available. When a colour is punched in, the colour co-ordinator will recommend a bunch of co-ordinating colours that are guaranteed to match. People tend to agonize over the choice of paint colours, Jones said. “One of the biggest problems is people are afraid to experiment with colour,” she said. For those nervous about introducing a vibrant colour into their home, Jones recommended starting with a small room or an accent wall. “People want that wow

Don’t just pick a colour because it’s one of the trends, she said. “Make sure it’s a colour that you love and that it speaks to you. Perhaps it co-

ordinates with some items that you have. Feel good about the colour you’re picking,” she said. “Our most important suggestion is to encourage people to try lively colours and bring their rooms to life,” Jones said. “Because it’s fun.

Race the Ridge

Lucas Tillotson of the Ridge Meadow Royals dives back to first base, hoping to beat Abbotsford Angels’ player Brian Schooley. The Royals won both games against the Angels, shutting them out in the second game 10-0.

Race the Ridge Stage Race presented by Local Ride Bike Shop in Maple Ridge, May 1-2, is BC’s toughest cycling stage race. The two-day, three-stage event is set to be the best edition in the race’s eightyear history. Saturday is expected to be the most challenging day of the weekend with the Thornhill road race and the 23-kilometre Golden Ears individual time trial. Racers will then hit downtown Maple Ridge at high speeds on Sunday for the city’s signature sporting event of the year – Race the Ridge’s new and improved Town Core Criterium, which will see riders taking risks in order to come out on top. New to the Race the Ridge repertoire is a youth stage race for girls and boys aged 10 to 17. Registration for the fun yet gruelling stage race is now open online at www. karelo.com.

elsey Campbell, ex-Maple Ridge Rambler now Indiana Hoosier, was given the Scholastic Achievement Award by the Indiana Varsity Club at its annual Scholastic Achievement Awards dinner earlier this month. The 31-year-old award was established by the Indiana University Varsity club to honour and acknowledge the academic excellence of one student athlete every year in each varsity sport. It recognizes the athlete who attains the highest cumulative grade point average on his or her respective team. IU vice president Fred Glass said that he “couldn’t be more proud of our scholastic achievement winners and how they respect Indiana Uni-

he pitched. However, Brett Snowball came in for the final inning and didn’t allow a single run to close out the game, as the Royals’ offence proved too much for the home Angels in their 9-4 win. The series then shifted over to Albion Field for the final two games in a double header on Saturday. And even with the three

days off, the Royals’ offence only improved, scoring 21 runs off of 20 hits in two mercy rule wins. Ridge Meadows took the first game 11-1 in six innings, and the second game 10-0 in five innings, sending the Angels home winless for the week. Game one saw Liam Stroud pitch his first complete game of the season

wins came this week with a three game series against the Abbotsford Angels. The series kicked off Wednesday in Abbotsford, w h e n Sp e n c e r St e w a r t pitched five innings with just one run on three hits before giving the reins to the bullpen. Eric Blower struggled in the sixth inning, allowing three runs in the only inning

and only allowed the single run and one hit. But, those were negated by his ten strikeouts. In game two it was Nathan Kitamura and Brandon Sound who combined for the shutout in the ten-run win. K i t a m u r a t h re w f o u r innings, while Sound, who w a s m a k i n g h i s re t u r n after being sidelined with a sprained ankle, closed out in the mercy rule win. As for the Royals’ offence, Cole Ross had the best day going 4-7 at the plate with a walk, three RBIs and two runs scored. First baseman Jarad Beckett reached base four times and scored four runs, while catcher Eric Blower batted 3-5 with two walks, two RBIs and three runs scored while also providing solid defense behind the plate. The Sunday games might not have happened if it hadn’t been for the grounds crew of Ridge Meadows parents who were able to get the field ready despite Saturday night’s rain. The Royals are now set for a very busy week. It starts out with two exhibition games against the Coquitlam A’s on Tuesday and Thursday at Blue Mountain before they head to Vancouver Island for a four-game set with the MidIsland Mustangs and the Victoria Mariners. The wins this week improve the Royals’ record to 10 wins, nine losses, and one tie for the 2010 season.

versity.” “Kelsey [Campbell] is just a tremendous student-athlete,” said head coach of water polo Barry King. “She is a real inspiration to the rest of her teammates for how hard she works in and out of the pool. “She is just the hardest worker with the biggest brain we’ve ever had.” Campbell thanked King and others upon accepting her award. “I want to thank all my coaches, teammates and parents for all of their support. It’s been a great experience so far.” The award recipients will be added to the Scho-

lastic Achievement plaque on permanent display in the north lobby of Assembly Hall, the historic basketball stadium at IU. Campbell, however, is used to winning awards. In her sophomore season at IU she started 36 games, scoring 32 goals and 24 assists in the 37 games she played. That earned her two straight Player of the Week awards, and a spot on the western division allconference team. During her tenure at MRSS, she was twice named British Columbia water polo player of the year. Campbell still has two years of college eligibility remaining.
