Wal-Mart unlikely for Pitt Meadows

28 pages

ENVIRONMENT CROWD GOES WILD

Retail giant is named as a tenant in Port Coquitlam. MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Wal-Mart has been named as a tenant for a development in Port Coquitlam just west of the Pitt River Bridge. Port Coquitlam city staff confirmed that a development application for land just west of the Pitt River Bridge has named Wal-Mart as a tenant for their building. Albion, Pitt Meadows and Port Coquitlam have all been speculated as possible sites for a Wal-Mart during the past few years. One property was the land just north of the Lougheed Highway at Harr is Road, which is designated highway commercial in the Official Community Plan of Pitt Meadows. “The land is there...and it will be commercial,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean. He added that the property could have a number of other large anchor tenants that provide local shopping for the residents of Pitt Meadows.

Laura Lee Richard, director of development services with the City of Port Coquitlam, said that Port Coquitlam council adopted a bylaw for the property that allows a large-format retail building to be built. The application for a development permit received by the City of Port Coquitlam states that the tenant coming onto the site is Wal-Mart. Large-format retail land-use properties usually attract businesses like Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Costco or Canadian Tire, Richard said. While the development application states the tenant is Wal-Mart, in the end, the decision whom to rent to is made by the property owner, Richard said. Project coordinator Pierre Laross with Onni said the company is expecting the development to be finished in about a year. Onni is developing about 300,000 square feet of retail space and two towers in their development, which is called Fremont Village.

Cops want fed approval before busting medicinal pot shop AMY STEELE asteele@mrtimes.com

olice won’t move in and charge anyone involved with the new medicinal marijuana dispensary operating in Maple Ridge unless they get approval from the federal Department of Justice to do so. That’s what Ridge Meadows RCMP Supt. Dave Walsh told Maple Ridge council at a meeting on Monday. “If we were going to consider any enforcement action in regards to this it would be at the direction of both Health Canada as well as the Department of Justice so I guess from our perspective we’re still in the information gathering and consultative stage,” he said. “The decision would be the Department of Justice’s as to whether, given these set of circumstances, they would be willing to prosecute.”

Inspector Derren Lench told council there are three medicinal marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, two in Victoria and one in Kelowna. Health Canada grants permission for people with certain medical conditions to use medicinal marijuana and gives some people who use it medicinally the right to grow it or to designate someone to grow it for them. People can also buy marijuana from a federal government supplier. However, Lench and Walsh pointed out dispensaries aren’t legally allowed to do so. “They have modelled it after Vancouver and Victoria (dispensaries) so that’s another piece we’re looking at, too. Are they turning a blind eye there?” said Lench. However, he said even if those municipalities are “turning a blind eye” that doesn’t necessarily mean local RCMP would do so. Walsh said police also have to

determine if the dispensary, operated by the non-profit Always Growing Green Society (TAGGS), is doing what they claim to be doing. Society members told The TIMES only people with federal permission to use medicinal marijuana or people with doctor’s letters could buy pot there. “Are they what they say they are? Are they selling to kids or selling to people who don’t have medicinal licences?” said Walsh. Meanwhile, Maple Ridge council members expressed frustration with the federal government for creating the situation leading to non-profit medicinal marijuana dispensaries opening up. Councillor Al Hogarth said “the Department of Justice and our friends of Ottawa have created a huge black hole in legislation that I think they should be made aware of.” Hogarth said he agrees there is

“legitimate use” of medicinal marijuana but “we obviously have a problem with the way Ottawa has brought about this piece of legislation.” Hogarth wants Health Canada to take some responsibility, including paying the district compensation for any legal costs it has to incur dealing with the dispensary. “I would suggest you go as far as to say we want compensation for what you have put us into,” he said. “I don’t have a problem being compassionate, being whatever you want, but it gets to the point of being ridiculous. Maybe we should just legalize the stuff and get on with it.” Coun. Judy Dueck said council isn’t “just sitting here just accepting that” but is making sure to follow a proper legal route in dealing with it. “If it’s not legal what are they doing here?” she said. Coun. Craig Speirs argued the cur-

rent regulatory regime creates problems for legal medicinal marijuana users to access it. “This is a difficult thing especially for those who use medicinal marijuana for health issues. You get a licence to possess and own and grow but you can’t get a licence to sell that it to people with licences so that makes it very difficult for those who don’t have a green thumb,” he said. Speirs said the federal government should allow people to grow for more than two medicinal marijuana licence holders to create “economy of scale”, which would make it more affordable for users who are sick and often don’t have a lot of money. He said he’d also like to see medicinal marijuana grown in industrial or agricultural areas and not in residential areas.

City upset at burnt grow-op

In Brief Trio pepper sprays man

A man was pepper sprayed by three young men in front of his home on 119 B Avenue in Maple Ridge on May 7. The incident occurred just before 9 p.m. when the victim went to talk to the group who had walked onto his property. He was then pepper sprayed and threatened. Police arrested a 19-year-old man and a male young offender who were both still near the victim’s residence when they arrived. They have been charged with assault.

Replica gun Police arrested a 20-yearold man after receiving reports of a man walking around downtown Maple Ridge with a gun. He was found in the 11700 block of 224 Street at 10:30 p.m. When police searched him they found a replica handgun capable of shooting bb pellets. There was an outstanding warrant out for his arrest and he was under a court-ordered condition not to possess any weapon or imitation weapon.

Man rescued A 59-year-old Burnaby man who got lost near Pitt Lake was rescued on May 9. Ridge Meadows RCMP, the RCMP helicopter, a police dog and handle and Maple Ridge Search and Rescue participated in the search. The man got lost after wandering off from his campsite. Police received a call just before 9:30 a.m. on May 9 that the man had not returned the night before. The police helicopter found him on the shoreline of Pitt Lake and search and rescue volunteers got the man and brought him back to the boat launch where he was reunited with his family. He was uninjured.

No action on downtown Nine months after fire, Pitt Meadows eyes demolition. long-term M R lease issue mrantanen@mrtimes.com ARIA

ANTANEN

he City of Pitt Meadows will consider ordering demolition of a burnt out house after it has sat untouched for almost nine months. On July 18, 2009, there was a fire in a rented home on Chestnut Crescent (pictured) in Pitt Meadows which the fire department reported happened in the hydro meter because there was an electrical bypass to the hydroponic marijuana grow-operation. Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said he doesn’t expect much opposition from council to order the house to be demolished. “We place a large amount of store in how our community looks and that’s an eyesore,” MacLean said. A staff report for today’s council in committee meeting recommends council declare the building hazardous, in an unsafe condition and a nuisance and that they order the owner to tear it down within 30 days of getting notice. The city also wants a 1.5-metre tall fence constructed around it and the hole where the house was filled in. The owner would have 14 days to respond, but if the remedial action isn’t done, the city could order the demolition and the cost would be charged back to the owner. The property owner didn’t live in the building but had a

tenant living in the building. Pitt Meadows staff made many calls to the property owner to ask what they’re doing with the house, but calls haven’t been returned. City staff have received calls and letters complaining about the property and debris and soot flying onto

neighbouring properties. MacLean is an insurance agent and he said insurance contracts have exclusion clauses for illegal substance producers which he calls the “grow-op exclusion clause.” The staff report states that the owner called city hall once to say he was in a legal

battle with the insurance company. MacLean said it’s no secret that there are grow-ops in all parts of Pitt Meadows but it’s difficult for police to investigate. “It’s too, too difficult the steps that are put on police to get warrants for these things,” MacLean said.

Maple Ridge council decided not to take any action yet to address longterm leases in the downtown that they feel are preventing redevelopment in the downtown core. At Monday’s workshop meeting council discussed a staff report outlining options for council to deal with longterm leases tying up redevelopment of the downtown core. Council has been frustrated by lack of redevelopment on certain properties, including Haney Place Mall and Haney Plaza. The staff report made three recommendations after researching options. The first option was to proceed with the status quo but, if needed, facilitate discussions between property owners and tenants to terminate long-term leases. The second option was to ask the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) to lobby the provincial government to limit the maximum length of a lease term. The third option was to ask UBCM to lobby the province to amend the expropriation act to allow councils to expropriate property for economic/urban development purposes. Council voted to ask the manager of economic development to come back with a report on what staff is doing to try and encourage redevelopment of the downtown core rather than approve any of the three options.

‘Law’s the law no matter how sick you are’ POT SHOP, From Page 1 Speirs also questioned whether the RCMP would “lump in” the medicinal marijuana dispensary nonprofit with criminal gangs growing marijuana. “Do you put the resources the RCMP enjoys and would employ against a gang...does that also apply to this compassionate network?” he said.

Coun. Cheryl Ashlie asked if the district should ask Health Canada to go after people with medicinal marijuana licences who are using the dispensary, which isn’t legally allowed to sell medicinal marijuana “I guess I’m questioning why we’re not punting it back to Health Canada to keep their licences under control?” she said, adding people with permission to

use medicinal marijuana must have to agree to specific terms and conditions. Ashlie said the dispensary is breaking the law and she told police to “do whatever you have to do to go after (the dispensary).” “The law’s the law no matter how sick you are or who you are,” she said. Coun. Mike Morden is fearful the dispensary will pose a “safety hazard” for

the Haney neighbourhood and predicts there could be armed robberies. “Something is going to happen on that premises that will cause the RCMP to attend and they will be forced to deal with it. We need to be in a position as a community to address the safety of our citizens upfront and ahead of time,” said Morden. However, Speirs point-

ed out there are currently armed robberies of pharmacies selling legal drugs. Brock McDonald, director of business licencing, permits and bylaws, told council because the dispensary is operated by a non-profit it’s not required to have a business licence. Morden said he wants that to change so council has the ability to regulate non-profit activities.

Rebate eyed for toilets

Maple Ridge is hoping to prevent homeowners from flushing too much clean water down their toilets with a new low flow toilet rebate. Staff is recommending that council approve a $50 utility rebate for homeowners who replace a 13-litre toilet with a 6-litre low flow toilet. The program would begin in 2011 and homeowners could qualify for a maximum of a $100 rebate for two toilet

replacements. Under the B.C. plumbing code it’s been a requirement since 2005 to install 6-litre toilets in new home construction but prior to that developers could install 13litre toilets. Staff estimates it could be a 15 per cent reduction in water usage per low flush toilet and proposing a maximum of $15,000 be spent on the program.

At this year’s Earth Day Ridge Meadows Recycling Society signed 12 people up to install low flow toilets for a $50 rebate. Eight of them agreed to voluntary water meters. Meanwhile, staff is expected to bring a report to council about water metering later this year. Councillor Linda King said the environmental issues the world is facing can be “over-

Pitt wants Cardiff answer

Old farm area could become industrial. MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Pitt Meadows council will ask Metro Vancouver to allow a section of the old Cardiff Farms to become an industrial area although it was originally approved only as a special study area. In January, council decided to request four adjustments to Metro Vancouver’s Re g i o n a l G row t h St ra t egy. While Metro Vancouver approved three other adjustments, it didn’t approve changing Cardiff Farms to industrial. At Tuesday’s council meeting, council decided to ask

for reconsideration of the property so that it could be designated industrial in the growth strategy as it is already designated industrial in Pitt Meadows’ Official Community Plan. City staff reported that after some discussion, Metro Vancouver was willing to consider it industrial rather than a special study area. The Agricultural Land Commission has approved its exclusion from the agricultural land reserve on condition that the developer pay for mitigation in other farming areas to improve drainage. Originally, Metro Vancou-

ver stated it wouldn’t designate it industrial until the ALC approved its exclusion, making it a “chicken and egg” situation, according to Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean. “Everybody seems to agree that it shouldn’t be (ALR land),” MacLean said. Metro Vancouver staff had also met with the Agricultural Land Commission staff, and staff reported they were “comfortable” designating the Cardiff Farm as industrial in the Regional Growth Strategy. The area in question is a parcel of about 20 acres out of the original 100acre Cardiff Farms.

Metro Van opens new water plant FRANK LUBA CanWest News Service

ater prices in Metro Vancouver are going to have to continue to rise to pay for the shiny new, state-of-the-art SeymourCapilano filtration plant that officially opened Friday. The $328-million plant is the largest water-filtration plant in Canada and the biggest in North America relying on ultraviolet light for primary disinfection. All water drawn from the Seymour Reservoir has been filtered by the plant since Jan. 15, but the rest of the project really won’t come on line until 2013, when the 7.1 kilometre-long twin tunnels to the Capilano Reservoir are complete. Pumping water from the more regularly muddied Capilano to Seymour for filtration and then sending it back for distribution is what bumps the total cost of

the project to $820 million, and will likely result in your water rates doubling over the next decade. Increases are never pleasant, but Lower Mainland residents currently enjoy a rate that Metro Vancouver spokesman Bill Morrell explained was “cheap like borscht.” In 2010, Metro will charge municipalities 45 cents per cubic metre (or 1,000 litres) in the off-peak period from October through May. The rate in the peak period of June through September is 56 cents. Municipalities then sell it to residents at a rate of about 75 to 80 cents per 1,000 litres -- less than the price of one plastic bottle of water. The capacity of the plant is 1.8 billion litres of water daily, although only about 550 million litres are currently being treated. The tunnels are more than a year behind sched-

ule because of a dispute between Metro and former contractor Bilfinger Berger that is the subject of a costly legal action. The dispute bumped the cost of the project by $200 million. Morrell said the two sides are currently exchanging documents. “We have a court date for the end of 2011,” said Morrell. Water from the Seymour reservoir comes into the new plant, which is located in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve in North Vancouver, and is initially filtered through 1.7 metres of a type of coal and then through 0.3 metres of sand. UV lights then sterilize the water, reducing the amount of chlorine that has to be added before the water is sent to taps in the western portion of the region. It takes water about 8 to 10 hours to go through the

Grease is the region’s word Too much is going down region’s drains. KELLY SINOSKI CanWest News Service

reasy spoons in Metro Vancouver might want to clean up their act. Or they could be paying for it in the future. Metro Vancouver’s sewage and drainage district wants to impose stricter rules for restaurants to help stem the flow of cooking grease and oil into the region’s sewers. To get restaurants to buy into the program, Metro has asked the B.C. government for the power to ticket those who don’t comply, and to slap them with fines higher than the $10,000 maximum that only the courts can impose now - but seldom do. “We want to have a real deterrent; we want the fines to go up,” said Ray Robb, of Metro’s policy and planning division. “Some of our main lines are getting plugged up with grease and it costs us millions of dollars each year [to clean them].” The drainage district, which is responsible for collecting domestic and industrial discharge, has put forward an “issues paper” to

the restaurant industry. But before it moves ahead with any changes, it wants to hear from industry players. A consultation process, to start in June, will allow the different groups to hash out Metro’s proposal, which calls for changes to the food services bylaw. Metro is calling for all restaurants to have proper grease traps and clean them at least once a month so the oils and fats don’t clog the sewers. It also wants restaurants to separate the grease, and have it converted into energy. About 63.5 per cent of restaurants did not pump out their interceptors in 2008, according to a review of the loads received at Metro Vancouver’s trucked liquid waste facilities. This is likely because of the high costs. Restaurants would pay about $200 per maintenance visit, which would result in an annual cost of about $2,400, Robb said. But the report noted if Metro had the power to fine restaurants, they would be more likely to follow the rules. Although individual restaurants may not pose a significant threat, collectively they can cause havoc to sewer lines. Metro Vancouver spends

about $2 million each year to clean up clogged and backed-up sewer pipes. In 2005, the Gilbert Trunk Ma i n i n R i c h m o n d , f o r instance, had significant grease buildup in the sewer main. It’s estimated it will cost Metro Vancouver $1 million per kilometre to rehabilitate this sewer, and it will take 10 to 12 years to complete the work. Robb said it’s ridiculous Metro doesn’t have the power to ticket people at the moment. “Somebody does something wrong and we have to take them to court,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to take a restaurant to court.” Sharon Tulk, director of marketing of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Association, agreed the issue is causing headaches for municipalities and there needs to be more education. She noted some people may not realize how often their grease traps have to be cleaned, while others “unfortunately might not know where the grease trap is.” “All the operators want to do the right thing, but they don’t necessarily have all the tools at the time,” she said. Robb said Metro would also like operators who discharge high levels of con-

taminants to pay higher fees for sewer services than those who discharge clean water. “We want to make sure people discharging are paying the full costs for regulatory and treatment,” Robb said.

Our new laws aren’t so tough

he B.C. government has just gotten tough on drivers who drink. The new rules, recently made public by B.C. Solicitor General Michael de Jong create Canada’s “most immediate and severe” penalties for impaired driving. The two main elements of the new rules are that drivers who blow 0.08 or over will immediately have their vehicles impounded for 30 days, find themselves banned from driving for 90 days and get a $500 fine. Those who blow in the warning range between 0.05 and 0.08 will immediately get a three-day driving ban and a $200 fine. These punishments escalate hugely for repeaters and can easily lead to criminal charges. (For the full explanation check out: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2010/04/27/ bc-new-impaired-driving-penalites.html?ref=rss.) So, what does .05 mean? You can have one small beer. How about .08? Maybe, but don’t count on it, two, maybe three drinks, depending on your gender and your weight. The message, obviously, is that you’d best err on the side of caution. Good, say the police, who believe the stiffer laws (which allow them to administer breathalyzer tests on the spot) will help stem the rising incidence of drunk driving in B.C. Not so much, say critics, who think an increasing number of people will drive anyway. Bad say some bar and restaurant owners who speculate that their revenue will go down. Laughable, chortle a whole ton of

LYN COCKBURN

Straight Talk Europeans when they compare our supposedly tough laws with their own. Note that the argument that more and more drivers caught drinking and driving will simply ignore the 90-day ban is specious and unreasonable. It implies we should forget about toughening our present laws because doing so won’t bring about an instant solution. The new rules are, of course, but a step in the right direction; they do not represent a means of eradicating drunk driving by noon tomorrow. And the “it won’t immediately solve the problem” argument is the same one used to oppose the long-gun registry. Its opponents do not seem to understand that the gun registry is one tool (a good one according to the three police organizations that came out in favour of it last week) among those used to track criminals and prevent further crime. As for those bar and restaurant owners currently weeping into their cash registers. Sorry, but get over it. If your business is dependent on customers who drink and drive, you need to change your attitude and promote safe driving, walking, buses, taxis and designated drivers. And for those among us who

think these laws are draconian, think again. Check out some European stats. Critics of the new law had best not set foot in the Czech Republic or Norway or Hungary, both of which have a zero tolerance for drunk driving. In addition, several European countries have long allowed police to randomly pull over drivers without the need for probable cause. Then there’s the matter of consequences. In the UK, drunk drivers can receive a six-month sentence and up to three years in Luxembourg. In most European countries, impaired drivers can expect an immediate licence suspension. As a result, many European countries enjoy far lower impaired driving statistics than does Canada in general and B.C. in particular. For a complete look at the rules in Europe, go to: http://www. safetravel.co.uk/EuropeDrinkDrivingLimits.html. So what gives me the right to promote tougher drunk driving laws? The answer, of which I’m not proud, is that I used to drink and drive, that I used to drink too much. A lot and often. I’m happy to say I haven’t had a drink in 19 years. Nonetheless, it is only by good luck and the grace of whatever superior being looks after idiots, that I did not get in an accident, did not injure or kill someone while driving drunk. And I’d like to think that had the laws been stricter, I would not have driven drunk.

It’s a sad irony that so many people in Metro Vancouver, an area that enjoys some of the cleanest drinking water in the world, still rely heavily on bottled water. Closer to home, many Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows residents contribute to the locally-based Project Wellness, which is building wells in remote parts of Africa. Think of it, many in Africa have little or no access to clean drinking water, but people here, who just have to turn on the tap for high-quality water, stock their refrigerators with the bottled stuff. It doesn’t make any sense. Meanwhile, our landfills are littered with water bottles from those who do not recycle them. We make these points because on Friday Metro Vancouver officially opened the stateof-the-art, $328-million Seymour-Capilano filtration plant. The plant will ensure that we continue to enjoy clean water out of our taps. We encourage people to try it and cut down on the use of bottle water by simply going to the quickest source available.

Sprawling development equals more services equals higher costs Editor:

Upset about the yearly increase in your property taxes? There is a very simple formula, which (current and previous) Maple Ridge councils do not seem to get. Sprawling subdivision development equals sprawling and extended services equals increased costs. It is that simple. Mayor Ernie Daykin’s question should not have been: “Where should we cut services,” but “Where should we stop services?” Maria Raynolds Maple Ridge

Pelton plan offers many benefits Editor:

I have been a resident of Maple Ridge for 37 years and have seen the community grow and change. During this period, the Official Community Plan for the district has evolved considerably to reflect community needs and benefits. Similarly, the ALR itself is subject to change over time based on the will of the community, property owners, municipal and regional authorities. I’ve grown tired of hearing the same old arguments from the same old opponents who feel all land originally designated ALR should remain this way in perpetuity, no matter what. This ideological perspective fails to consider the most basic and relevant considerations of a potential redevelopment scenario, most notably, public and community benefits. Land that is marginal, too small to farm or impossible to generate a viable income produces negligible benefits to the community and the region. Yet all too often, efforts to explore a higher and better land use in these instances are characterized by a vocal minority as the thin edge of the wedge with respect to paving over paradise and this type of fear mongering is disingenuous. Land-use decisions should properly reflect current

realities with a view toward maximizing public benefits, based on the merits of an application as determined on a case-by-case basis. Council should do right by the community given the many public benefits and forward their application with a favourable recommendation to the ALC for due consideration. M. Ulriksen Maple Ridge

Albion Flats can be a model Editor:

In a w o r l d o f ra p i d l y shrinking resources, growing food shortages, and daily species extinction, the Quechuas and Ayamaras of the extensive Andes ranges of South America show the rest of the world models of how to cope with the above-men-

tioned threats. The world’s resources are finite and becoming depleted, whether they be fossil fuels, arable land, fresh water, clean air, forests, or marine and agricultural food sources. The Andean cultures have evolved solutions that are effective, blindingly obvious, yet widely ignored. The soil must be nurtured, sites must be adapted to facilitate productivity, water must not be wasted, and crops must be planted in areas best suited for their cultivation while preserving biodiversity Tourists can write about the brilliant achievements of the Incas in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, government, bridge construction, fortifications and large almost earthquake-proof buildings that still stand after many centuries, but most readers will regard such

accounts as interesting exotica. More pertinent for others are the lessons to be learned, which are applicable to our own backyards. The Albion Flats can be adapted and transformed to a natural wonder that can become an enviable template. We have the resources to turn almost the whole area from Kanaka Creek to Albion into a multi-use green zone with recreation areas, community gardens, vegetable and fruit-growing small farms, and some natural areas for birds and small wild-life, much like the small adjacent Rieboldt Park. The process can benefit from the advice of landscapers, environmental groups, farmers and garden clubs. Labour can be supplied by volunteers, high-school clubs, minimum-security inmates and scouts. Soil building materials are readily available through lawn cuttings from the cemetery, and many municipal parks, the fall pick-up of leaves, sawdust. We are limited only by our lack of imagination and political will. Maple Ridge can become a bold forerunner or can plod, sheep-like, to becoming a boring suburban sprawl, like some other places we know. Chuck Ellman Maple Ridge

Alliance builds community venue

$1.2 million activity centre adds much-needed space. MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Spring into Health

he Maple Ridge Alliance Church will be expanding by about 7,000-square feet allowing it to offer more space for activities that will benefit the surrounding neighbourhood. The church broke ground this weekend on its expansion project and the plan is for the new $1.2 million activity centre to be ready at the end of September. “It’ll be used for a lot of community activities - it’s a needed space,” said John K inney, an elder at the church and a member of the building committee. T h e c h u rc h m e m b e r s have been fundraising for about two years and have got almost enough money to pay for the addition debtfree which is their goal. The Maple Ridge Alliance Church was originally located on Cemetery Road in a church b o u g h t QUOTE: from the “It’ll be used Lutherans almost 50 for a lot of years ago community - the origiactivities nal church it’s a needed has been space.” turned John Kinney into a h o m e and still exists. The current church was built at 203 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road in 1974 and in 1994 an addition was built. This will be the second large addition to the church. Kinney, whose parents were charter members of the church, said he hopes the addition will “enrich the quality of the community to have a structured area where people can learn and put their Christian principles into practice in daily living.” Currently the church runs programs in other facilities, for example, they rent space at Fairview Elementary for their Awana girls’ club and another off-site facility for men’s recreational use. The addition will allow all their programs to be offered under the same roof and allow for new programs and outside activities. Kinney hopes the facility will be used by youth in

Angels demonized in sad, creepy tale Legion:

Dennis Quaid’s idea of method acting is getting a really bad haircut.

CHRIS CAMPBELL

Home Movies Quaid sports an awful ‘do to get across that he’s a small-town hick running a failing truck stop in the desert. His son Jeep (the dour, but effective Lucas Black) is his sad-sack son, a man pining for a girl pregnant with another man’s baby. People laugh at him for wasting his love on someone who doesn’t feel the same, but he sacrifices everything to make her happy. These three sad lives form the core of an above-average action film that poses a different take on God, angels and demons. It says that when God loses his faith in the people of Earth, he doesn’t send a demon — he sends an angel to wreak havoc on the planet. Except this angel (played by Paul Bettany, the avenging albino from the Da Vinci Code) doesn’t agree with God and instead of carryMay 31

ing out his orders, he works to protect the people of the truck stop, where the planet’s savior is about to appear. The story moves at a slow, but steady pace. We get to meet the sad people of this isolated stop on the way to supposedly better times. A troubled family waits for their car to be repaired. A lone man is lost on his way to a custody hearing. The truck stop’s cook is missing an arm from military service. And we also have our trio awaiting the birth of an unwanted baby. Each has their own tragic tale to tell, and we get bits of information in between assaults on the truck stop. When the angel arrives, he arms the people and gets them ready for the other angels that are coming to carry out the orders he refuses to accept. What I liked about Legion is that at least the characters are given some depth by the sacrifices they are asked to make. They are not necessarily likable heroes, but their actions feel a little more real by the strength of the writing in telling their backstories. The movie is creepy, rather than fast-paced, but it’s not as scary as the makers intended. Legion: ✰✰

Gonda aiming for London 2012 MARIA RANTANEN mrantanen@mrtimes.com

vett Gonda won a gold in the bantam -53 kilogram division at the 2010 Senior Nationals in Edmonton a week ago, another step along the road she hopes will lead to the 2012 London Olympics. While Gonda said it was “great” to win gold in her division at the nationals, “it’s just another step in the Olympic process.” The Olympic taekwondo athlete has decided to try one more time for an Olympic podium finish, despite the disappointment she experienced at the Beijing games when she was eliminated in the first round despite being at the top of her game. Gonda lives in Pitt Meadows but has been training in Port Moody at Tae Geuk Tae Kwon Do. The taekwondo gym has just opened a second training facility in Maple Ridge and she splits her time between the two gyms. Gonda’s next big competition is the qualifiers for the Pan American Games which take place in July in Ontario. Gonda’s goal at every competition is to collect more points and stay on top of the rankings in order to score a place on the Olympic team. Gonda said she was disappointed at the Beijing Olympics where she was expected to finish on the podium but was cut in the first round. Gonda and other taekwondo athletes disputed the points awarded by the judges at the Beijing Olympics; however, she was eliminated after her first round despite being at the top of the rankings going into the games.

Taekwondo will be part of the 2012 Olympics in London, but Gonda said it’s still up in the air whether it will continue after that because of continuing problems with the sport. She said the experience in Beijing was both positive and negative and it made her a more mature athlete. For Gonda, the four years leading up to the Olympics was largely focused on the biggest international sporting event. But focusing on the one goal for four years and sacrificing in other areas of her life was a big “risk” Gonda said, because she was not the only striving for the top. “That’s where everyone wants to be – that’s the highest level,” she said. Since the Beijing Olympics, there have been a lot of changes made to the j u d g i n g o f t a e k w o n d o, for example, there will be electronic scoring of some parts of the sportt. The electronic equipment is still in its first generation, Gonda said, so there still might be glitches, but she hopes it will make the judging fairer. But she added, that “anywhere there’s a judge, there’s always questions.” Gonda said she finds it mentally hard to deal with this aspect of the sport. “It’s a judged sport – at the back of my mind, I question it,” Gonda said. After the disappointment of the Beijing Olympics, Gonda said she had to step back for a while. But since she’s been back competing, she has seen several successes and this year has gone particularly well. “We’ve had a very success-

and law at Douglas College and Capilano College, teachers part-time and trains, all of which keeps her schedule

tight. “It’s a challenge but it’s ... what you need to do,” Gonda said.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test!
