Car thieves land in creek after chase by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com

Two alleged car thieves who fled from police in a Ford pickup truck, tore through a yard, and ended up by a creek on Docksteader Loop were arrested on Friday night, according police. Scott Collins had a front-row seat to the action and said he could feel the truck, which he said had a washer, dryer and barbecue in it, roaring past his house. “The house was vibrating and shaking,” he said. The two men fled from officers earlier in the evening, nearly hitting a police officer who was trying to stop the truck with a spike belt, according to Ridge Meadows RCMP. The truck, which had been stolen from Nakusp, was being chased by police when it headed down the dead-end street, took a turn through Collins’ yard and crashed through a hitching post before ending up in a creek about 20 feet below. “The truck plowed into the blackberries,” Collins said. He said the dense brush mitigated the damage to the truck. After crashing, the suspects fled and police swarmed the block with officers, Integrated Police Dog Services and a police helicopter that cast its searchlight on the area. “It was kind of like something

out of a movie... watching the floodlights on your back porch,” Collins said. Collins said one man was arrested near the side of his house and police nabbed the other man near 232 Street. Collins said he was impressed by the restraint of the police given the adrenaline they must have been feeling. “My wife was quite surprised how gentle they were,” he said, adding that a police dog might have chewed one of the men a little. “I give him credit, he was a good driver,” he said. The truck managed to miss a trailer equipped with propane, two trucks, a Lexus and a Durango, according to Collins. “The most damage was probably to the lawn when the tow truck couldn’t get [the truck] out,” he said. At first glance, the fleeing pickup truck seemed to have vanished, according to Collins. “The police officer who was behind said it was like the Twilight Zone because the truck just disappeared [when it went around the bend].” The two suspects, 36 and 40, were kept in police custody by a justice for a first court appearance yesterday. The truck was also seized.

Parents and teachers at Greybrook Academy, the private school that closed in November 2009, will be gathering Dec. 9 for a settlement conference. Many teachers are seeking the three months severance pay they did not receive, and parents are seeking tuition fees they paid. Karen Kelln, whose daughter attended the beginning of her Grade 7 year at Greybrook Academy, paid $10,520, the full tuition amount for the 2009-10 school year. Even though her daughter only attended 12 weeks of the school year, they have not been

reimbursed for the other 33 weeks she missed because of the school’s closure. At $233.78 per week, Kelln is requesting $7,714.74. In a Provincial Court of B.C. document, the school’s founder and owner, Nigel Turner, said there were insufﬁcient funds to pay Kelln’s claim. “It’s very unsettling,” Kelln said. She said her daughter was affected by having to switch schools yet again.“We actually moved from Toronto, so she moved across Canada, moved into the private school and then Dec. 1 she had to move again to a public school because the school closed its doors,” Kelln explained.

Stolen vehicles located Ridge Meadows RCMP Street Enforcement Unit located three stolen vehicles that were parked in Maple Ridge. On September 29, 2010, two cars that had been reported stolen, one from the Ridge Meadows area with the other being reported stolen in Coquitlam, were recovered in the 22400 block of 121 Avenue in Maple Ridge. The third vehicle was found parked in the parking lot of Planet Ice on Thursday September 30, 2010 by the policing team. This car had been reported stolen to Coquitlam RCMP. No arrests have been made, but the owners have their stolen vehicles back. All three files are still being investigated.

Man offers 10year-old a lift Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating a suspicious occurrence. As a 10-year-old boy was walking to his home around noon last Friday, he was stopped by a man in a small white car near 117 Avenue and 232A Street in Maple Ridge. The man asked the young boy if he wanted candy, and if he did, to get into his car. The boy continued to walk home, and the man drove off. The man is described as a white male, approximately 40, with short hair, and slightly balding. The man opened one of the car’s doors, but he did not get out of the car.

Correction An article published in last Friday’s paper implied Albion Flats has been designated for agriculture and would require a two-thirds majority by Metro Vancouver before development could occur. Albion Flats is a special study area and would not be bound by the same rules as agricultural land.

Danette Grimason, general manager at Fox’s Reach, said their shuttle service was warmly received by their clientele. Jeremy Shepherd/TIMES

Pub fights back with shuttle service Owners of Fox’s Reach are introducing a new program this week to combat the drop in business felt since new drinking and driving laws were introduced last month. by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com

Starting this week, patrons of Fox’s Reach Pub who ﬁll up on beer but have an empty wallet have no excuse for trying to bluff their way through a road check. The 203rd Street bar is starting a free shuttle service, which will probably be available to the bar’s customers within a week, said owner Todd Arbuthnot. Arbuthnot, 35, said the shuttle service – scheduled to be available six days a week – was something he’d thought about when stricter drinking driving laws were announced last month. Under the new warning law, someone caught driving with a blood-alcohol level over 0.05 and under 0.08 will receive a three-day driving ban, $200 in ﬁnes, and have their car impounded for three days. “Nobody supports drinking and driving, but is it necessary to have this sub-law?” Arbuthnot asked. The effect was felt immediately at

Fox’s Reach, when the law came into effect Sept. 20, said Arbuthnot. “We saw a huge drop in sales,” he said. “It was like a light switch.” Business has fallen by about 30 per cent overall, he said, and in the middle of the week business is sometimes down by as much as 50 per cent. “People just aren’t drinking,” he said. “My dad’s been in this business 35 years and he’s never seen it this bad.” Arbuthnot said the law is “heavyhanded” and is sure to drive some bars out of business, so he’s spent $10,000 for two vans, one for Fox’s Reach and one for The Landing in Ladner. “It’s an extremely expensive proposition,” he said, noting it’s going to cost him a further $5,000 a month to run the program in each of his rural bars. There will be no charge for taking the shuttle service, which will be available to take people to the pub and drive them home. Those who drive to the pub can also be shuttled

home while someone else drives their car home. “They can get home safe and their car will be there in the morning,” he said. The decision to offer the shuttle free of charge was out of concern for ICBC regulations, which make it difﬁcult to offer a taxi service, Arbuthnot said. The shuttle won’t be an excuse for excessive drinking, and Fox’s Reach will continue to abide by its rules against over-serving. Arbuthnot also owns two bars in New Westminster, but he said because of SkyTrain access and the amount of foot trafﬁc, those bars haven’t been affected nearly as much as Fox’s Reach. “Maple Ridge has seen the worst of it by a long shot,” he said. Danette Grimason, the general manager of Fox’s Reach said it’s been one thing after another. “The HST hit, the recession hit, and then this on top of it,” she said. “They’re still coming in, but instead of having a bottle of wine, now they’re having two glasses.”

Grimason expects the shuttle service to prove very popular with customers. “On Monday night we announced it and got a standing ovation,” she said. Business is bad at most pubs, and because of that she expects other bars to follow their example. John McEwan, who was enjoying a beer on a Friday afternoon, said he’d considered starting his own bar shuttle service. “You pretty much have to, or these places are going to be empty,” he said. McEwan, who said he’d be happy to take the shuttle, said the tougher laws changed the mindset of most bar customers he knows. “You can’t even have a couple without wondering [if you’re over the legal limit],” he said. On average, approximately 133 people die and 3,000 are injured in B.C. as a result of trafﬁc collisions involving alcohol. Drinking and driving is responsible for approximately 30 per cent of fatal trafﬁc collisions in B.C.

Court date set for Dec. 9 GREYBROOK, From Page 1 “Nobody along the way at any time told us he was in ﬁnancial crisis, and they knew already then. They used our $10,000 fee to pay the salaries that they hadn’t paid yet. He took our money knowing that he was essentially closing the school.” When called at his home, Turner said he did not wish to comment on the issue.

Kelln said she plans to attend the Dec. 9 meeting, which will be held at the Port Coquitlam Provincial Courthouse at 2 p.m. in courtroom 12. Chris Jack, another parent seeking redress, said he was “one of the unfortunate people who paid in full.” He said he will also attend the meeting in December, but he hopes a settlement could be reached before then.

Man assaulted at bar

Ridge Meadows RCMP are investigating an assault that occurred outside Shooters Pub, which is located in the 20600 block of Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge. At approximately 2 a.m. last Sunday, a 27-year-old Langley man was trying to break up a possible ﬁght between two other men. Without provocation, or warning, the man was struck in the face and knocked to the ground. He was taken to Ridge Meadows Hospital by members of the B.C. Ambulance Service for medical treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police are looking for a white male, approximately 22 years old, ﬁve-foot-four, with bleach blond hair. He ran off before police attended.

Disturbance caused by woman at McDonald’s

Ridge Meadows RCMP arrested an 18-year-old female after the young woman created a disturbance in a McDonalds restaurant. Just before 2:30 p.m. last Sunday, the female began to yell at patrons and employees of the Pitt Meadows McDonalds restaurant. As police were being notiﬁed, the suspect left. However, police located her nearby. Due to her odd behavior, she was taken to Ridge Meadows Hospital, but she was found to be ﬁne. Police then executed an outstanding Youth Court warrant, and she was taken to a Youth Custody center.

Education

Forum explores post-sec opportunities in Ridge by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com

An invitation-only education forum is scheduled for today to determine if Maple Ridge might eventually become host to a university campus or an online college. The forum, which is scheduled to take place at the ACT Theatre, is expected to include between 60 and 70 delegates specializing in ﬁelds like education, tourism, economics, technology and agriculture. Sandy Blue, the manager of strategic economic initiatives for Maple Ridge, said a university could do great things for the community. Instead of piling into buses and cars to pursue college and university degrees in Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver, students would have an opportunity to study in their hometown. She said along with hospitals and airports, a university is one of the best ways to power a community’s economy. Blue said she envisions

a post-secondary school, whether it’s constructed with computer codes or bricks, as being intertwined with tourism. “Being able to link with a post-secondary school would really help,” she said. Much like some international students who pick a university based on proximity to skiing or surﬁng, she said Maple Ridge could attract students based on its natural beauty and agriculture. “People come from all over the world to see some of our circle farms stuff,” she said. A university could help build local tourism, and eventually result in the construction of hotels, Blue said. “We know that we’re underserved by hotels,” she said. Blue indicated a post-secondary school might begin online, but if successful, it could transform. “You can deliver programs in a lot of innovative ways and a building may follow,” she said. Blue said there have been many intriguing developments in the ﬁeld of online education and

different programs could work as a guide to an online university in Maple Ridge. Blue said her role in the forum is to help facilitate the conversation between different groups, but it’s really up to some of the attendees to see if a university fits their business plan. Blue said the forum is the beginning of a conversation to determine if some type of post-secondary school could flourish in the area. “It’s a function of the growth of the area,” said Darrell Denton, the business retention and expansion officer for Maple Ridge. “We produce a lot of university candidates,” he said. While Denton said he favours higher education north of the Fraser River, he said he’s not exactly sure what it might look like. “When you say university... people immediately think of a campus and a facility,” he said. “You can run a very effective online program.” He said a post-secondary school in Maple Ridge could result in increased job creation.

Salmon mystery brings commish to town

by Jeremy Shepherd editorial@mrtimes.com

The Cohen Commission, a federal inquiry into the decline of salmon in the Fraser River, was in Maple Ridge last Wednesday to take in a history lesson and a tour of the Alouette River. The Cohen Commission is headed by Bruce Cohen, a Supreme Court Justice given the task of explaining the meagre amount of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River in 2009. “I think there’s a smoking gun out there,” said Alouette River Management Society spokesperson Geoff Clayton. Despite a summer when some fishermen were going without sleep to fish an estimated run of 25 million sockeye salmon, the most in the Fraser River in nearly a century, many questions remain. Clayton said it’s important to examine why there were fewer than 10 million sockeye salmon in 2009 and what prompted their miraculous return this year. One of the main concerns of the visit was the practice of capturing sockeye at the fence in the Alouette River, putting them in a container, and trucking them over the dam. Clayton said the practice is working well, but as more fish return to the river he said a long-term solution might be for B.C. Hydro to take over the river on a corporate level and install a fish ladder, allowing fish free passage through the river. Marvin Rosenau, an instructor at BCIT’s fish, wildlife and recreation program, estimated a healthy Alouette River could support between 50,000 and 200,000 fish, which would make the current trap-and-truck method very difficult. Members of A.R.M.S., the Katzie First Nation and local residents discussed issues like dripping phosphorous and nitrogen into the river, a process called fertilization that Rosenau said was an absolute key. One questioner said he was distressed at the prospect of people in Abbotsford drawing water that had been fertilized with nitrogen and phosphorous. “I don’t foresee any trouble, but we’ll have to do our homework,” said Greg Wilson, fisheries biologist for the Ministry of Environment. Wilson said a worst case scenario would be many

Fewer registered nurses at care homes The number of registered nurses working at long-term facilities in Maple Ridge will be reduced and a new formula will be implemented that increases the number of care hours per resident. Baillie House, which is run by Fraser Health, will reduce the number of registered nurses by five but increase the number of licensed practical nurses by five and increase staffing with one position. Heather Cook, executive director for residential care and assisted living in Fraser Health, said this staffing mix model – registered nurses, licenced practical nurses and care aides – is used in other health regions successfully. Cook said registered nurses will “step away from the medical cart” and work more with families of residents who need more complex care. Licensed practical nurses will be able to use their skills more, for example, administering medications, speaking with doctors and

changing dressings. The B.C. Nurses’ Union, however, has stated that reducing the number of registered nurses in Fraser Valley long-term care facilities will result in more deaths and sicker seniors. “It’s a disgrace,” B.C. Nurses’ Union president Debra McPherson said at a meeting of Fraser Valley longterm care nurses in Surrey Wednesday. “Our seniors deserve better care.” Last winter the fee structure of long-term care residents was changed, which resulted in an increase of $12 million. However, Cook said that money would go back into long-term care and not onto the Fraser Health bottom line. “All of the money is being used to increase (residential) care in Fraser Health,” Cook said. Next year there will be an additional $12 million from the new fee structure. Residents at long-term facilities live there for an average of 2.7 years and are usually relatively stable, Cook said. If their health deteriorates, however, they are moved to hospital

❚ Our View

Small business has large role

All hail the small business. For the past four years, October has been set aside as Small Business Month in B.C. The aim is to raise awareness of the large role that small businesses play in the province’s economy – a role that, collectively, stands in marked contrast to the size of the individual players. For instance, there were nearly 400,000 small businesses operating in B.C. in 2009. According to B.C. government statistics, that represented a three per cent increase over 2008, despite the relatively unhappy global economic climate that prevailed last year. Nearly 60 per cent of jobs in the province’s private sector are provided through small business operations – that’s nearly six of every 10 people employed in the private sector throughout British Columbia. Furthermore, about one of every five workers in B.C. is self-employed, the highest rate of self-employment in Canada. The bottom line is that small businesses provide gainful employment to more than a million British Columbians. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, like communities throughout B.C. are home to hundreds of small businesses, and to the entrepreneurs who make them and the entire province’s economy plough through tough times and grow when the climate is more amenable. Those entrepreneurs are your nextdoor neighbours and your friends, and probably number among the members of your family. They keep B.C. – and the people who call this province home – working. They’re worth celebrating, and the small businesses they operation are worth promoting through October.

Teaching a lesson Today is World Teachers’ Day. It’s a day when even politicians who normally begrudge them every penny of support will take some time to say nice things about them. More importantly, it’s a day to remind us all of some of the special teachers who helped shape us into the people we’ve become – and for most of us, at least, that should amount to some pretty good memories. It’s a day to remind us all of a sometimes thankless job that puts our children on the road to their future.

One Trudeau was enough Editor:

Gone a decade... still no replacement, Sept. 28 Odd Thoughts, The TIMES Socialist countries have their socialist idols, and in the “true north, strong and free” we had the quintessentially antiAmerican contrarian Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the Peter Pan of Canadian politics, without whose “legacy” Canada might have had a sporting chance of turning out to be a dramatically different nation. From a comfortable budget surplus, he chalked up deficit after deficit, to the point that the International Monetary Fund took a serious look at Canada as a potential bankrupt. He imposed wage and price controls and the National Energy Program, not to mention presiding over a period of double-digit inflation. He inflicted on Canada his politically contrived “We-arethe-World” divisive quiltwork of officially legislated “multiculturalism” that has led to the self-ghettoization of newcomers. He set in motion the antimilitary, peacekeeping ethic that has practically destroyed the Canadian armed forces. He couldn’t stand the U.S., and set the anti-American tone that successive Liberal prime ministers have used to plunge cross-border relations

to a post-war low. He demonstrated his deeprooted anti-Americanism by attempting to differentiate ourselves from the Americans, at great expense, by way of the petulant “metriﬁcation” of the country and the introduction of his infamous “Third Option” of diverting trade away from the U.S. to Europe. He effectively transferred governance from Parliament to the Supreme Court, via his specious Charter of Rights which virtually guarantees the domination of special interest groups. He hobnobbed around the world, fawning over every dictator he could ﬁnd, from Fidel Castro (“Viva Cuba Libre”) to Robert Mugabe, whom he revered as the great hope of a new Africa. And those were just his good points. E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen

Site C Dam better than dirty energy Editor:

Anyone opposed to the Site C Dam, or any other renewable energy project, must offer a better alternative. Because right now the only alternative on the horizon is to keep on importing dirty coal energy from Alberta and Washington to top up our energy needs like we’ve been doing for several years. Importing dirty energy is not what B.C. should be doing. Especially not from coalburning sources that just push the carbon emissions and pollution to other regions. And we shouldn’t have to import dirty energy. See LETTERS, Page 10

❚ Mailbag LETTERS, From Page 9 B.C.’s geography is exceptionally well-suited to producing clean hydroelectricity, either by hydro dams like Site C or by much smaller run-of-river projects. Hydro dams are a clean source of energy and we’ve beneﬁtted from them in B.C. for many decades. Hydro dams are only exceeded in their environmental and cost effectiveness by hydro energy from run-of-river projects, a clean energy source that has long proven itself in other geographically similar parts of the world; not to mention having proven itself here in B.C. in recent decades. Importing dirty energy from elsewhere defeats the whole reason for conserving and accessing clean energy. And studies from across Canada are starting to show that we may have achieved as much as we can through conservation. So those opposed to new clean energy developments like Site C had better start coming up with some realistic alternatives to importing dirty energy or think about being the ﬁrst ones volunteering to go without electricity when B.C. runs out.

sends their profits to the U.S. First of all, the population in Maple Ridge is growing and growing way faster than all other jurisdictions in the Lower Mainland. The two new bridges into our area have helped that immensely. Growth should continue unabated for the foreseeable future. As to Wal-Mart, they hire way more people than Zellers, which can be seen by going into any Wal-Mart. Profits going to the U.S.? They can send their profits wherever they wish, but the employees are Canadian, pay taxes here and the HST goes to Canada and B.C. Having lived here in Maple Ridge for only two years, I think it is fantastic. But I do find municipal hall very short-sighted in reference to not allowing a Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc. to come to Maple Ridge. These stores not only bring jobs of their own, but all the other businesses that follow, for example, restaurants and gas stations. The Albion area is a perfect

Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times spot for a shopping centre. It would probably snare people from Mission also. This is 2010 and I certainly wish that Maple Ridge could become engaged in this century. I realize that looking into the future and making courageous decisions can be scary, but I feel the citizens of Maple Ridge are ready to go forward and grow our community to the beneﬁt of all. Come on Maple Ridge, WE can do it! Chris Johnston Maple Ridge

Guests trapped by aggressive bear

Editor: My guests for afternoon tea were “trapped” for the afternoon at my place. Conservation ofﬁcers had set a bear trap in my yard to catch the nuisance bear that has been plaguing this area. The only trouble was, they trapped a curious cub. Mamma bear was not too happy and set up a ﬁerce

guard around the trap which was unfortunately located right by my guest parking. The conservationist couldn’t get here right away to deal with the problem so he instructed us not to go outside as the mother bear would attack. Now who else do you know who can arrange such exciting entertainment for afternoon guests? Right in the front window! Three hours later, the ofﬁcer came and released the cub and both bears took off into the forested ravine in a split second. The bear trap is set again, in an effort to trap the nuisance bear that has been damaging my place as well as other places in the area. It is a single bear that has become quite aggressive. I may have more excitement again later if the suspect bear decides to try the sardines left in the trap for him. Lots of adventures living in bear country. Florence L. Nicholson Maple Ridge

Golf tourney raises a million for kids More than 370 Overwaitea Food Group suppliers came out in support of OFG’s 15th Annual Classic Fore Kids Golf Tournament on Sept. 16. This year, 72 teams embraced the fun of ﬂamboyant golﬁng attire with a “Crazy Pants” theme and raised a record $1 million for Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital. “For more than two decades, we’ve focused our community support efforts on kids and their families,” said OFG president Steve van der Leest. “We’re grateful for the support of our suppliers, team members and customers, helping us bring kids the care they need,

closer to home. The Classic Fore Kids tournament is a great example of that.” Since its inception in 1995, the tournament has raised nearly $4 million for BC Children’s Hospital. Child Health BC is a network of health authorities and health-care providers dedicated to excellence in the care of infants, children and youth in British Columbia. Since 2007 it has supported the creation of new child health facilities in Nanaimo, Richmond, Vernon, Prince George and Prince Rupert and has provided education and training opportunities for health-care providers with the goal of increasing pediatric care capacity throughout B.C.

Fall and winter events are in full planning mode and a number of free activities are scheduled in celebration of traditional holidays, active living and beneficial causes. Parks and Leisure Services community event statistics are reporting an increase in event participation up from approximately 151,000 to 165,500 based on the first three-quarters of 2010. The Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, Bard in the Spirit Square, lunchtime concerts in Memorial Peace Park, Osprey Village Markets, an expanded Caribbean Festival and several new grassroots events have contributed to the rise in event numbers. Some upcoming events to mark on the calendar include Ghost Ridge from Oct. 24 to 30 at the Albion Fairgrounds; community fireworks at the Albion Fairgrounds on Oct. 30; Remembrance Day ceremonies in Pitt Meadows Spirit Square and Maple Ridge Memorial Peace Park on November 11; Christmas in the City at the Pitt Meadows Spirit Square on Dec. 3; Christmas Festival and Santa Parade at Memorial Peace Park on Dec. 4. Parks and Leisure Services supports community volunteer groups that plan events, recognizing the recreational benefits of celebrations. Event involvement is recognized as a way to alleviate the negative effects of social isolation and lack of physical activity. “When new volunteers approach the festival and volunteer office, they quite often report an interest in getting involved with events as a way to feel more connected to their community,” said Kathryn Baird, recreation coordinatorevents and volunteers. For a complete events calendar, details about community celebrations in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and links to various event websites, visit the City of Pitt Meadows or the District of Maple Ridge website and go to the Events section, or call the Parks and Leisure Services Festival and Volunteer Office at 4677325. New volunteers are always welcome on planning committees and event day teams.

Former emporium seeks new owner by Samantha Shirley Urano editorial@mrtimes.com

A building with a meaty history in Webster’s Corners is for sale, and as it is not a protected building historically, a future buyer could tear it down. The commercial building across the street from Webster’s Corners Elementary on Dewdney Trunk Road was originally a frozen food locker, and

more recently it housed the Webster’s Corners Emporium. “That was initially built as a frozen food locker. Before people had home freezers and you had a side of beef, you could rent one of these frozen food lockers and store your meat,” said Val Patenaude, director of the Maple Ridge Museum. In another incarnation of the building, the Webster’s Corners Emporium sold

museum’s heritage inventory, Patenaude said that doesn’t place any constraints on what owners can do with the building. Chris McIntyre, the realtor selling the building, said he has not yet received any offers. The structure is on .84 acres of land, and McIntyre is asking $488,000 for the building and the land. He has had the listing up for four or ﬁve months. “It’s been up for sale for quite some time and as far as I understand it they’re going to be reengineering that corner,” said Mary Robson, of the Webster’s Corners Community Association. McIntyre said the property is zone commercial service by the district.

It even won a heritage award in 1997, the District of Maple Ridge Heritage Award for Commercial Heritage. At that point, the building was still well taken care of, but Patenaude said the building has not been in use for years. “I’m not surprised to see it for sale, because I know that ... building has been standing empty for quite some time,” she said. To the left of the frozen food locker was a Finnish co-op. The building for sale is on private property, and although it is listed in the

Hunter Larocque of the Chilliwack Giants (centre, dark blue) leaves the defensive line of the Meadow Ridge Knights (light blue) on the ground and out of commission in Saturday’s Jr. Bantam Blue football game at the Samuel Robertson Technical school field. The Giants beat the Knights 50-14. Mitch Thompson/TIMES the Chilliwack Giants met last Saturday in a battle of undefeated teams and a stellar defence helped the Knights post a 21-0 victory. Drake Kindred scored two rushing touchdowns behind the blocking of Mark Podschadly and Jeremie Kankolongo. Hayden Barton hauled in a couple of passes for converts to lead the offence. Defensively, the Peewee Knights were outstanding and were led by the play of Jayden Shanley, Trent Cooper, Mackenzie Baust and Will Chartrand. The Junior Bantam Knights

played an excellent ﬁrst half in Saturday’s game, but faded in the second half. They were defeated 50-14 by the Chilliwack Giants. Devon Bird and Matthew Cameron were the Knights’ leading receivers, while Brian Dongalen was the leading rusher. Marcello Lucarino and Peter de Zeeuw highlighted the Knights’ strong defence effort. The Bantam Knights were big winners over Chilliwack as they posted a 40-6 win Saturday. Leading the offence was fullback Damian Hartman,

who had several key gains and a touchdown. Also scoring for the Knights were Brett Boyce, Rashaun Simonise and Tanner Hartley. Kicker Coltan David kept the Giants bottled up with several excellent punts. Jackson Murdoch and Mike Vegh had a strong game on defence, while Jessie Bauer had an interception. With the win, the Bantam Knights took over the top spot in their division. They will now enjoy a bye long weekend with their next game on Oct. 16 against North Langley.

The Ridge Meadows Flames Junior B hockey team lost both their games this weekend. They faced the Port Moody Black Panthers Friday on home ice, but the Flames were not able to keep the Panthers at bay, losing 5-4. Danny Brandys scored a power-play goal in the eighth minute of the first period, and then the Black Panthers tied the game back up with a goal. The Flames’ CJ Legassic and Ryan Stewart each scored next, bringing the score at the end of the first period to 3-1 for the Flames. The second period saw two goals from the Black Panthers, plus a power-play goal from Matthew Genovese of the Flames. The Black Panthers scored twice in the third period, ending the game 5-4 for the Panthers. The Flames then played another home game Saturday, and they were downed 4-3 by the Abbotsford Pilots. The game was rife with penalties, but the Flames only scored one power-play goal in the game. The Pilots scored twice in the first period, then twice more in the second, before the Flames’ Matthew Genovese scored an unassisted goal. Starting the third period down by three, the Flames’ Matthew Keller got a goal, assisted by Ryan Stewart and Tristano Falbo. Brent Fletcher, of the Flames, then scored a powerplay goal with an assist from Sean Kavanagh, but the Flames were not able to tie the game.

The Simon Fraser University Clan women’s soccer team fell 2-1 to the Central Washington University Wildcats last Thursday in Ellensburg, Wash. The Clan’s senior co-captain and defender Ari Adams, from Maple Ridge, was forced off the pitch with ten minutes left in the game due to a hamstring issue. The Wildcats scored their two goals in the final eight minutes of the match, which dropped SFU to 4-3 this season. They are 3-2 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. “We let it get away from us today,” said SFU head coach Shelley Howieson following the game. “We need to regroup as we have a major test on Saturday. We had scoring opportunities, but we were lacking the composure to put those opportunities away.” SFU freshman Lia Marining, from North Vancouver, scored her team high third goal of the season for the Clan in the 12th minute, tapping in a well-placed cross from senior Lauren Lachlan, of Port Moody, past Central keeper Kori Butterfield to put SFU up 1-0. After Adams’ injury in the second half the Wildcats upped their offensive pressure. They generated a turnover off a bad pass and from well outside the 18-yard box Kaycie Hutchens was able to bend a shot off the far left post and past Clan keeper Amelia Ng, of Richmond, to tie the game at 1-1 in the 84th minute. Four minutes later, CWU’s Serena Tomaso sent a cross into a scrum in front of the Clan net, which Brittany Franks headed past Ng to clinch the 2-1 win for the Wildcats. Butterfield made six saves in the win for Central, while Ng stopped five shots in the loss. CWU out-shot SFU 14-to-9, while corner kicks were even at 2-to-2. Simon Fraser is back in action on Saturday in Seattle when they face the GNAC’s top team, Seattle Pacific. SPU is currently ranked No. 5 in the NCAA Division II rankings.

guarantee the 2010 edition will be better than ever,” said race organizer Barry Lyster. “As usual, we’re encouraging competitors to wear costumes and we will be awarding prizes for the best one. We also give a cash bonus to any rider who wins his or her category in costume.” The race’s festive Halloween theme is great fun for all ages and will make the exciting, dirty, and action-ﬁlled cycling discipline of cyclocross even more entertaining for spectators. Beyond the usual obstacles of barriers, run-ups, sand, tight corners, slick grass and roots, racers will have

to tackle riding in costumes that may not be optimal attire for bike riding. In the race’s ﬁrst year, the costume contest winner was a creative creature from the sea with a sparkling and spiky blowﬁsh helmet cover. In the second year, the iconic “Carrot” took the title hands down, while last year, the Incredible Hulk rode away with the glory. “Every year, the costumes get better and better,” said 2007 Pumpkin Cross costume contest winner Sandra Walter. “I thought I had a good chance last year with my ‘Super

Sean Murphy

Dec. 7, 1981 – Oct. 7, 2008 It has been 2 years, 2 years too long. Our lives have been changed and our hearts have been broken. Now we cry inside. Now we cry in silence. We know you are no longer in pain. We know you are no longer suffering. We know that one day, one day again we will meet. Until then, we want you to know how much we love you. Now we want you to know how much we think about you. Please know we will think about you always and forever.

We love and miss you so much, Mom, Dad, Nicole, Trevor, Dave and all the family
