Aquilinis fined by WorkSafeBC. p3B.C. ViewsB.C. jobs plan bumps into reality. p6

A Maple Ridge water polo player caught on camera holding a fl ame to a shirt stuffed in the gas tank of a police car during the Stanley Cup riot has been handed a two-year ban from competing for Canada.

On Monday, Water Polo Canada imposed the suspension on Nathan

Kotylak, 18, that will prevent him from participating in any national team programs until June 2013.

Kotylak is also ineligible to re-ceive Sport Canada funding for a two-year period.

In a written decision released to the lawyers representing Water Polo Canada and the athlete, the panel described Kotylak’s actions during the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots in June as “very seri-ous.”

“Overall, I would say we’re satisfi ed with the panel’s ruling and the sanctions imposed,” said

Ahmed El-Awadi, executive direc-tor of Water Polo Canada. “These are formidable punishments con-sidering the age of the athlete. But, in our view, they are fully justifi ed given the seriousness of the situation and the potential to dishonour and discredit our orga-nization, our members, and Cana-dians in general.”

A Grade 12 student who had just graduated from a Maple Ridge private school, Kotylak was a star athlete who played on Canada’s junior national polo team when he was caught on camera partici-

pating in the mayhem that ensued after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the cup fi nals to the Boston Bruins on June 15.

He had received a partial schol-arship to attend the University of Calgary to study kinesiology and had hopes of competing in the Olympics.

Like other rioters identifi ed, Ko-tylak was verbally attacked and threatened online. His cell phone number and home address were posted on several blogs and Face-book pages.

Mayor gives up insurancecontract

A company owned by Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean decided not to renew its con-tract to insure the city’s vehicle fl eet.

The City of Pitt Meadows con-fi rmed Monday that Don Ma-cLean’s business – Sharpe’s Agency Ltd. – chose not to continue the contract for another year this past summer.

Sharpe’s Insurance won the lat-est contract to insure 32 municipal vehicles, including pickup trucks, backhoes, bobcats and fi re engines, in 2009.

“My quality of life has improved”

I would like to thank the helpful and knowledgeable staff at Crystal Vision and Hearing Centre for helping me. I have to say at rst I felt a bit embarrassed going in to book a hearing test, aren’t hearing aids for older people? It had been a while that I’d been ignoring the tell tale signs that I might have hearing loss, the hearing tter was very understanding and explained that many younger people have hearing problems but don’t ever get tested, so I set up my appointment. Getting the test was painless and once it was done the results were clear, I could use help with my hearing. I couldn’t believe the difference in how I was hearing things once I had my new aids, probably the rst thing I noticed was when I started to drive my car, the radio was a lot louder than I usually listen to it! There are many other things that I am hearing again, although I got by ne without them, it’s amazing how my quality of life has changed hearing the little things. I can’t thank Crystal Vision enough for helping me hear clearly again! Anneka K.

A man was killed while falling a tree in east Maple Ridge just before noon Tuesday.

The 40-year-old man was working for Lead-er Silviculture along a B.C. Hydro right-of-way, clearing trees near high-voltage pow-er lines off 256th Street, past 130 Avenue by a gravel pit not far from the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre.

“The worker was fall-ing a tree and it struck the worker,” said Me-gan Johnson, with Work Safe B.C.

Work Safe B.C. is in-vestigating the fatality and was on scene soon after the accident.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department and emergency personnel struggled to reach the man, who was working off a steep incline, near a stream.

Police said Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue was called in to assist due to the “diffi -cult terrain.”

Ridge Meadows RCMP will be assist-ing the coroner’s offi ce with its investigation.

Leader Silviculture is based in Garibaldi Heights, near Whistler.

The largest berry grower in Pitt Meadows has been fi ned by Work-SafeBC following a workplace acci-dent last April.

Francesco Aquilini, Roberto Aq-uilini and Elisa Aquilini, doing busi-ness as Geri Partnership – Golden Eagle Ranch, were fi ned a total of $125,402 on May 11 for two incidents in Pitt Meadows.

The fi rst fi ne of $62,701 was for failing to keep farm vehicles in “safe operating condition,” and for failing to ensure a driver was properly li-censed at its jobsite at 16351 Aquilini Ave., in north Pitt Meadows.

The same date, the Aquilinis were fi ned $62,701 for not providing an ef-fective means of communication be-tween fi rst-aid attendants and work-ers at 14318 Neaves Rd.

That followed an inspection in September 2010 and an accident in which a worker suffered a serious leg injury when moving a metal wall unit. The worker had to wait a long time for the fi rst-aid attendant, WorkSafeBC says in its magazine.

The penalties were announced in WorkSafe’s September-October magazine.

“The fi rm also failed to provide its workers with the information, in-struction, training and supervision necessary to ensure their safety,” the magazine said.

The inspection report said the em-ployer failed to take suffi cient pre-cautions to prevent injuries, didn’t maintain safe working conditions or “exercise due diligence to prevent

these circumstances.”The amount of the fi nes are deter-

mined by the size of the company’s payroll, the nature of the violation and previous violations, if any.

The Aquilinis had no previous vio-lations with WorkSafeBC.

Geri Partnership is part of the Aquilini Investment Group, which owns the Vancouver Canucks and is run by Francesco Aquilini, Roberto Aquilini and Paolo Aquilini.

Members of the Aquilini family – Francesco, Elisa, and Roberto, and

Paolo – along with related compa-nies, still face Fisheries Act and Wa-ter Act charges in Port Coquitlam provincial court in connection with the installation of a water intake pipe into the North Alouette River in 2009.

A trial date has been set for Oct. 15, 2012.

Two other Maple Ridge companies were also fi ned in April by Work-SafeBC.

Pennyfarthing Construction Co. got a penalty of $4,614 for not ensur-

ing that handrails and guardrails were installed at a construction site on which it was the general contrac-tor.

“Workers were also exposed to hazards from waste that had been allowed to accumulate throughout the jobsite.”

Mohinder Kaur Lalli was also fi ned $2,500 in April for allowing workers to begin renovating a building be-fore identifying if there were any hazardous materials, such as asbes-tos, at the worksite.

The fate of Albion fl ats remain in fl ux and could stay that way until after the next election as Maple Ridge district awaits word on its plans from the Agricultural Land Commission.

Council sent its ideas for development of the farmland along Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue last spring to get feedback from the ALC.

Once it hears from the commission, the district could then fi le a formal application to remove the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Mayor Ernie Daykin said Monday that the com-mission itself has yet to review the proposal, but is supposed to look at it when it meets Oct. 24. A meeting in September was cancelled.

Daykin said the land commission is under-funded, which drags out application processing times.

“They’re really under the gun as far as funding from the province.

“Council wants to know how long it will be be-fore they get their comments back.”

He added that council wants the feedback so it can submit a strong, formal application for re-moving the land. “We would like it sooner.”

Coun. Judy Dueck said it’s 50-50 whether the present council will fi le an application before the next election.

If the commission is quick at sending its com-ments to Maple Ridge, council would still have two or three meetings before the Nov. 19 elec-tion, in which to submit an application.

“I think we’re running out of time is the unfor-tunate piece.”

Following public consulta-tion last fall, and four options presented by a consultant, council opted for a develop-ment scenario for the Albion fl ats that included commer-cial, business and recreation-al development of both sides of 105th Avenue.

Then it added a recreation centre, farm buildings, a farmer’s market, an agricul-tural training centre, food

education institute and community gardens and a neighbourhood pub to the vision.

The district’s consultant said all four options that came out of the brainstorming session should go to the commission.

A 13-year-old boy was hit by a van in front of a high school east Maple Ridge Thursday evening.

The accident took place around 6:45 p.m. on Dewdney Trunk Road by 248th Street af-ter the boy darted out from the front of a stopped transit bus.

He was struck by the van and tossed off its windshield. He had just left a school dance at Garibaldi secondary.

Two off-duty paramedics were the fi rst emergency per-sonnel on scene and cared for the teen until an ambulance and fi re truck arrived.

The teenage was bleeding from his head and an air ambu-lance was called in to airlift him to B.C. Children’s Hospital. Po-lice said his injuries are non-life threatening.

Maple Ridge fi re chief Dane

Spence commended the off-du-ty paramedics’ for their sense of duty.

“I understand they had just fi nished their shift when they rendered assistant to the young

fella,” said Spence.“The fi rst few minutes of

care is the most critical. By the sound of things, this young man had the best care, as soon as possible. I am sure you if you ask them they wouldn’t want any special accolade but the public is extremely fortunate that our emergency workers are so dedicated.”

The investigation into the ac-cident continues however po-lice said there is no indication it was caused by driver error.

“Thankfully the teen is not seriously injured,” added Cpl. Dale Somerville.

The boy has since been dis-charged from hospital and, ac-cording to a family friend, is doing well.

Shane MacKichan/Special to THE NEWS

The boy had just left a school dance and darted out from in front of a bus and was hit by a van on Dewdney Trunk Road.

Kotylak’s lawyer, Bart Find-lay, said the threats forced the family to leave their Ma-ple Ridge home.

Kotylak’s father Greg, a surgeon at Ridge Meadows Hospital, had to close his of-fi ce, as well.

Kotylak issued a public apol-ogy on television on June 18 after waiving his right of ano-nymity as a young offender.

He told Water Polo Cana-da’s disciplinary board that neither alcohol nor drugs fu-elled his behaviour.

Although he attempted to get to a SkyTrain station af-ter losing contact with his school mates, Kotylak said he became swept up in the emo-tions of the crowd. He was at a loss to explain what he was thinking when he decided to fan the fl ames of garbage

bin fi re, try to light a piece of cloth stuck in the gas tank of a police car and toss a piece of burning paper into its front seat.

Kotylak is now studying at West Valley College in Sara-toga, California and plays for the school’s water polo team.

Since June 15, 70 suspected rioters have turned them-selves in to police and the number keeps increasing

daily. Besides Kotylak, three other people from Maple Ridge have admitted to par-ticipating in the riot.

None have been charged.The Integrated Riot Inves-

tigation Team is currently reviewing approximately 600 gigabytes of data, 15,000 im-ages and nearly 3,000 video fi les. Investigators contin-ue to post photographs of suspected rioters online at riot2011.vpd.ca for the public to identify.

Charges are expected some-time in November.

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – Pre-mier Christy Clark’s “B.C. Jobs Plan” took some hits as she was finishing her week-long publicity tour to roll it out.

The serious dam-age wasn’t from her political opponents on the left and right. The body blows came from Europe, the United States and China, where the storm clouds of a second recession continued to gather. As world leaders offered up a chorus of warning about debt and falling con-sumer demand, commodity markets for metals, coal and petroleum tumbled along with stocks.

One of the few firm targets Clark of-fered was that eight new mines should be up and running in B.C. by 2015, with expansions or upgrades to nine more existing mines. That is the total arrived at after detailed meetings with the industry. But if China’s factories slow down because fewer Americans and Europeans buy their goods, those proj-ects can fade as quickly as the price of copper.

Total provincial spending for the B.C. jobs plan comes out around $300 million. The big-ticket items were contributions to port and rail facili-ties at Prince Rupert and Tsawwassen. Another $24 million goes to staff up natural resource permit offices, which are backlogged after amalgamation of various ministry functions.

NDP leader Adrian Dix leapt on that

announcement, saying it proves that the B.C. Liberals starved the regional offices.

He’s right on that. For example, the resource ministry’s regional director for Skeena told the Bulkley-Nechako regional district board this spring that he has 30 per cent less staff than five years ago. Some of that is a result of ending duplication of forest, energy and other ministries, but by this spring there were 65 independent power projects waiting for approval in Skeena alone.

Of course, the NDP would fix that backlog by killing off the projects, and presumably break up the natural resources ministry again to ramp up their beloved government jobs.

The NDP also jumped on B.C. Liberal MLA John Les for going to high-un-employment Nanaimo and suggesting people should look north where jobs are going begging.

Construction company Ledcor had job fairs in Prince George and Chetwynd in early September, looking for hundreds of truck drivers, heavy equipment op-erators, drillers, blasters, mechanics, surveyors and labourers for the Willow Creek coal mine in Tumbler Ridge. Another job fair was held in Fort St. James around the same time, looking for equipment operators for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine.

I had a chat a couple of weeks ago with a grader operator in Dawson Creek, working in the gas patch. Most of the pickups he sees on job sites have Alberta licence plates.

So let’s say you’re an able-bodied un-employed guy sitting in Nanaimo, wait-ing for a job to come to you. If that’s

how you think the economy works, it’s no surprise if your preferred political message is Dix’s 1960s socialist blather about the government forcibly sharing the wealth. And it’s no surprise that you’re unemployed.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cum-mins trashed the Prince Rupert port announcement as a payoff to local aboriginal people for a potash facility.

“The usual Liberal policy of giving natives a veto on new projects has got to end,” Cummins said, demonstrating once again that he understands noth-ing about the evolution of this issue in the past 20 years.

In summary, Clark’s jobs plan is to continue Gordon Campbell’s Pacific gateway strategy. The opposition par-ties are reheating decades-old failed options they hope will smell better than a stale three-term government.

And B.C. is, as always, at the mercy of world events.

This week’s question: Should all public schools switch to a balanced calendar?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

The federal NDP is tripping all over itself in try-ing to have it both ways – keeping its large Quebec caucus happy and simultaneously suggesting that giving Quebec more seats in the House of Commons is good for fast-growing provinces like B.C.

It’s impossible to achieve both ends.The Conservative government is expected to in-

troduce a bill in Ottawa adding 30 seats to the House of Commons. All 30 would be in the three fastest-growing and most under-represented provinces – B.C., Alberta and Ontario.

The late Jack Layton tried to push the govern-ment in its minority days to add additional seats for Quebec as well, so that it would not have its infl u-ence watered down. He campaigned in Quebec on that basis in the recent federal election.

The lone candidate for Layton’s job, party presi-dent Brian Topp, has endorsed this view and said that British Columbians would welcome this ap-proach. How wrong he is.

While Topp is correct that House of Commons representation is not strictly “representation by population,” the exceptions are minor. Under the constitution, no province can have less MPs than senators. Thus Prince Edward Island is guaranteed a minimum of four seats. No province can have few-er MPs than it had in 1976, so no Atlantic province will lose representation. The four Atlantic provinces together have just 32 seats.

A few vast rural ridings, and the territories, are also exceptions.

In the case of Quebec, it has had seats based on its share of the population, starting with 64 in 1867 and eventually rising to 75. Redistribution in other provinces has been based on the number of seats in Quebec.

Historically, Quebec consistently had about one-quarter of Canada’s population, but in more recent years, Quebec’s share of the national population has gone down to about 23 per cent. Quebec would have had one-quarter of Commons seats in perpetuity, had the Charlottetown Accord passed in 1992. But it failed, with 54.3 per cent of Canadians opposed, and almost 57 per cent of Quebeckers opposing it.

“Rep by pop” applies to Quebec just as much as it does here. B.C. ridings are among the most-pop-ulated in Canada, and this province needs fairer representation.

Quebec should maintain its 75 ridings, but is not entitled to any more unless its population increases.

EDITOR, THE NEWS: Re: Sheltered work program saved

(The News, Sept. 21).I am pleased that the provincial

government has extended the Com-munity Living B.C. programs at Ridge Meadows Recycling and Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows Community Services.

It is unfortunate, however, that the government has specifi ed that these programs will be extended for one year.

This leaves the clients of these pro-grams, their families, caregivers and support staff not knowing what will happen next fall. The government is clearly leaving its options open.

Given the quality, proven effi cacy and community support for the sup-ported employment program at the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot and the supported volunteer program at Community Services, this is disturb-ing.

There is little doubt that the provin-cial government is trying to cut costs on the backs of individuals with spe-cial needs and their support network. This is unforgiveable.

Social Development Minister Harry Bloy is calling on CLBC to apologize for this fi asco. The minister is respon-sible for his ministry, which includes

CLBC. He should have been aware of plans for such signifi cant program cuts. If he wasn’t aware of the planned cuts, it calls into question his ability to manage his minis-try. Either way, it’s minister Bloy who should be offering the apology.

Disturbing allegations about the supported em-ployment program at Ridge Meadows Recycling remain. CLBC maintained that the society was “not in compli-ance with Employment Stan-dards.” CLBC even claimed that the society had been in-formed as long as 15 years ago that it was out of compliance. CLBC’s ratio-nale was that, since some caregivers drop the person they are responsible for off at the recycling depot in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day, at 4 p.m., the society should be paying them for a full day. Not that CLBC would fund them for a full day, in any case.

The reality is that this is a modifi ed work program to serve the particular needs of these workers and they are paid for every hour they work.

This employment standards alle-gation is a red herring. When CLBC

informed the recycling society that it was terminating the program, no mention was made of noncompliance

with employment standards. I believe these planned cuts were part of the Christy Clark government’s ham-fi st-ed attempt to pay for the di-sastrous and expensive HST campaign that they waged on British Columbians.

It’s clear that the Liberal government in Victoria has little respect for the sup-ported employment and vol-unteer programs in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. I

believe it would prefer to see our re-cycling centre run by a private com-pany.

As one CLBC offi cial said to me: ‘Most of these programs [non-profi t recycling] were gotten rid of years ago.’

I believe Ms. Clark is putting the in-terests of private business above those of people with special needs, despite the fact that our communities strong-ly support these programs. I guess her vision of “families fi rst” doesn’t include these folks. That’s sad.

MICHAEL SATHER, MLAMAPLE RIDGE – PITT MEADOWS

EDITOR, THE NEWS:A new ghetto is being cre-

ated at the corner of Brown Avenue and 222 Street.

It is not only being cre-ated, but fostered by the B.C. government and Maple Ridge mayor and council.

Amazing how we as a province and a town have money for a state-of-the-art, environmentally green building (I believe the cost is $7.2 million or more) to house and support 42 homeless people for one-year interims who do not and have not contributed to society in a very long time, if ever.

We will be feeding them, cleaning their building, building a park across the street for them, fi nding them jobs and introduc-ing them back into society (hopefully, after a year of

nursing them?).Meanwhile, we as a prov-

ince and a town cannot sup-port those who contribute to our town – like those who work at the recycling depot. No one is housing them for free, making their meals, doing their laundry (except maybe family), fi nd-ing them better paying jobs. They arrive every day with pride and a whole sense of contributing to a job well done, and responsibility to their jobs.

Those select 42 get to arrive to a beautiful new building with a new park.

With that, the advocates for these select 42 will in-still in them a sense of entitlement without hav-ing contributed to anyone or anything. That old say-ing “build it and they will come” came true for the

Salvation Army Caring Place.

That area and neighbour-hood changed into a den of thieves and druggies in 10 days after that place opened. Our town core suf-fers for it daily.

The Homeless Initiative Program house seems to be just another Caring Place with a park for their friends being built across the street. The name Pi-geon Park has already been taken.

So what will these select 42 do for our community? Will they even have to con-tribute to any care of their new home?

Will they be grateful enough to give back for this opportunity?

Will they be held account-able for their behaviours?

Will our town hold the

do-gooders accountable for their wards? On and off their little corner of prop-erty?

I will be walking by there everyday to go to work. People will be driving by there to take their kids to Maple Ridge high school ev-eryday. There will be many people watching.

M. SMYTHE

MAPLE RIDGE

EDITOR, THE NEWS:I am appalled at the inconsiderate nature of some of our

senior citizens. I have watched from my balcony, and have become dis-

gusted with their actions, while walking their beloved dogs.

We do not have a large lawn, but we would like to keep it as nice as possible. Yet I have watched these wonder-ful citizens let their dogs defecate on our property, and not once do I see them bend down to retrieve their little friend’s feces.

This is totally unacceptable behavior. We try to keep our little bit of lawn and grounds as clean and tidy as pos-sible and the landscapers give us heck when they fi nd fecal matter on the grounds. I do not feel that we should have to clean up their mess.

Is it not up to them to do that? Are they not supposed to carry little baggies and re-

move their doggie’s doo-doo? I am an apartment manager and I have to sweep the

front walkway everyday. If they can’t pick up after their dogs, tell them to walk it somewhere else.

DONNA THOMPSON

MAPLE RIDGE

EDITOR, THE NEWS:To the residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows:You might have noticed Saturday morning a slow-moving

vehicle driving down your street and a couple of people put-ting plastic bags full of food into its trunk that they picked up from your neighbours’ doorsteps.

They were just a few of the 146 volunteers who took part in the fi rst annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive in our area. As one of the organizers of the event, we’d like to ex-tend a huge thank you to all the residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for opening up their pantries and giving so generously.

The results of this event exceeded everyone’s expecta-tions in so many ways. The 146 volunteers put in more than 250 hours to visit close to 4,000 homes. All together, approxi-mately 6,000 pounds of food were donated to the Friends In Need Food Bank.

The same food drive took place in communities through-out the Lower Mainland and across B.C., bringing in 250,000 pounds of food.

The residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows showed they cared about the social issue of hunger by responding so generously, fi lling up the bags that were left on their doorsteps a few days prior to the pickup date. With such a positive outpouring of kindness in this fi rst year, we look forward to even greater participation with both volunteers and donations in the future. Thanks again, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. You are awesome.

Shouldn’t seniors pick up after their dogs, too?

Gov’t leaving its options open

Time to institute permit for on-street parking?

Local residents ‘awesome’

EDITOR, THE NEWS:I would like to suggest that

Maple Ridge implement an on-street parking permit.

This is a method used in many North America cities and is used to supplement operating funds and create a more safe access for emer-gency vehicles when neigh-bourhoods have become plugged with street parking.

My neighbourhood, for in-stance, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., is diffi cult for a car

to navigate, let along a fi re truck.

I know it is human nature to avoid the requirement to purchase the ability to legally park on the street, but doing so would encourage people to use their driveways or ga-rages in order to avoid pur-chasing an on-street parking permit.

For those who still wish street parking between 6 p.m. to 6 am. (overnight parking), they could pay either $50 for

a permit or $100 for a ticket, issued by a bylaw offi cer, for each infraction.

I only suggest this because I feel it is becoming more and more dangerous as most of our neighbourhoods contain many secondary suites, which overwhelm the planned park-ing allotment when the subdi-vision was fi rst planned.

Many homeowners don’t use their garages for park-ing, but instead for storage – a place to put junk.

Many homes with lane ac-cess to driveways, which are not used, park in the front of their homes, which adds to the ongoing problem.

Between the cost of per-mits and the issuing of fi nes, such a bylaw could generate enough money to pay for staff to enforce this bylaw – maybe even enough to contribute to the municipal operating bud-get.

Make things rightFrom: Judy Nagy Kimberley, posted on mapleridgenews.com.Re: A struggle for health care (The News, Sept. 16). Saddened to read this article. Although I have never met Bill and Kelly [Nagy], my heart goes out to them. My four-year-old granddaughter Alyssa (Lissy -Lou) also has Rett Syndrome, so I know first hand the amount of care these kids need. I find this totally illogical that this family and others with special needs have to go through so much bureaucracy just to make things right for their children.

Since the contract totalled more than $25,000, this year was the fi rst time the mayor’s busi-ness had to be identifi ed in a city fi nancial statement – to the surprise of several councillors, who claimed in June they were unaware of the agreement.

“The contract came up for re-newal and they decided not to pursue that. It’s their call,” said city chief administrative offi cer Jake Rudolph.

The contract in 2009 was for two years, plus an option for an additional year.

The city insures its fl eet from Aug. 1 to July 31.

The city received a letter from Sharpe’s Agency, indicating it would not seek contract renewal, on July 22.

Sharpe’s Agency, which was previously owned by former

mayor Danny Sharpe, has done business with the city since 1974.

In the past, the contract al-ternated between Sharpe’s and Johnston Meier Insurance. But in 2009, the city decided to for-malize the way it obtained insur-ance by inviting proposals.

Three agencies responded to the request for proposals, includ-ing Sharpe’s, Johnston Meier and Meier & Company Insurance.

A staff committee picked the best bidder according to set cri-teria that included experience, the availability of on-site service, a willingness to provide short-term credit and a familiarity with the city’s vehicle fl eet.

MacLean, however, failed to publicly disclose that his busi-ness was insuring the city’s ve-hicle fl eet. At the time, he said he was unaware of a section of the B.C. Community Charter

that requires council members to disclose any contracts they enter into with the city “as soon as reasonably practicable at a council meeting that is open to the public.”

Section 168 also requires any contracts with council members to be listed in a report, that in-cludes a general description of their nature, at least once a year.

As well, civic politicians take an oath of offi ce that requires them to disclose any direct or in-direct pecuniary interests.

MacLean would not comment further on why Sharpe’s Agency decided not to renew its contract with the city.

“We are going no further with this,” he said.

Meier & Company Insurance Agencies (Mission) Ltd. now in-sures the city fl eet.

Bell, O’Connell running againTwo Pitt Meadows city councillors announced this week that they will be seeking re-election in November.Bruce Bell and Gwen O’Connell are also throwing their support behind Deb Walters, who is vying for the mayor’s chair.A Pitt Meadows resident for 31 years, Bell will be trying for a second term. With Walters and councillor John Becker both running for mayor, he said there will be a large gap to fi ll. Bell believes his experience will help bridge that gap and that Walters is the right person to be the city’s next mayor.“Deb cares deeply about the individuals of our city and is genu-inely interested in their ideas and opinions,” said Bell. “She has demonstrated this time and time again with her collaborative

style of leadership.”O’Connell served on council from 1993 to 2005, then returned for a second time in 2008 because “of her passion for Pitt Meadows and the people who live here.”She said she is a “hands-on” councillor who can be found “serv-ing hot dogs or cutting cake” at many community events and considers herself to be “one of those very lucky people who has a job she loves to go to each day.”She is supporting Walters’ bid to become mayor because she sees Walters as a strong leader.“She is a dedicated, hard working individual committed to the families of this wonderful community, said O’Connell.“She is a strong leader and the best choice for the job.”Current councillors Doug Bing and Tracy Miyashita will also be seeking re-election on Nov. 19.

The ballot for Novem-ber’s school trustee elec-tion is starting to fi ll up as a host of newcomers and some familiar faces opt to throw their hats into the ring.

Former parks man-ager Mike Murray will be running for school trustee in Maple Ridge, he announced Tuesday. Murray worked with the District of Maple Ridge for 33 years before retir-ing last year, and is cur-rently the chair of the Ridge Meadows Hospi-

tal Foundation. Murray worked extensively with the school district in his role as parks manager, and said he hopes that experience will allow him to continue

“[The partnerships with Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge] represent the kind of collaboration I believe strongly in,” he said. “I’m going to con-tinue to look for those opportunities.”

Like anyone with a family, Murray says he has a vested interest in public education.

“I think we all owe it to future generations to make the right deci-sions,” he said.

Former school trustee Kathy Marshall, who served two terms on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Mead-ows Board of Education from 2002 to 2008, an-nounced her candidacy on Monday.

“I think I can bring some value to the board,” Marshall said. “I hope to bring commit-ment, integrity, and my

experience.”Marshall, who will be

running in Maple Ridge, was a former school teacher in Ontario, and ran the Ridge Meadows legal aid offi ce prior to its closing in 2002. Marshall said she stepped down from the board in 2008 to spend more time with her family and focus on her volunteer work, which included serving as a director for the 2009 B.C. Disability Games.

This time around, she has more time to devote to her role as trustee.

“The timing is right for me in my life right now,” she said. “Last time I had my fi ngers in too many pies. This time I’m able to donate the time and energy.”

Also running in Maple Ridge is former school district employee Gary Cleave. Cleave worked for School District No. 42 from 1996 to 2009 as communications offi cer, and then as the district’s special projects offi cer, helping develop the dis-

trict’s student anti-vio-lence program.

Cleave was born and raised in Maple Ridge, and his grandchildren currently attend school in the district.

“The school board will be faced with some dif-fi cult choices in the next few years,” said Cleave. “Our weak economy will limit the ability of the provincial government to adequately fund both health care and educa-tion. If elected, I will do my best to insure school district resources are al-located wisely and in the best interests of all our students.”

Former trustee Man-deep Bhuller, however, has decided not to run for trustee, despite de-claring his intention to do in May following his failed bid at federal politics as the Liberal Party candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission.

Bhuller said he will be throwing his support be-hind both Marshall and Cleave, and did not want to split the votes of can-didates with the same agenda as himself.

“These are people I have worked with and learned from. They have the same point of view as I do, so it makes sense for me to support their work,” he said.

“I’m hoping we can get a progressive board with children as their agenda.”

Bhuller ran unsuccess-fully for school trustee in 2008, fi nishing eighth in Maple Ridge with 2,865 votes.

So far, only three in-cumbents on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education have announced their inten-tion to run for reelec-tion: Trustees Eleanor Palis and Susan Carr, as well as board chair Ken Clarkson. Trustees Dave Rempel and Mike Huber have yet to declare their candidacy, while trust-ees Kathie Ward and Stepan Vdovine have decided not to run.

After helping lead the Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball Association for 10 years along with serving on the board of Ridge Meadows Sports Field Association, Mark Kauhane now wants to step up to the Maple Ridge council plate.

Although he’s got a background in busi-ness and experience in coaching and leading community sports, the latest council candi-date wants it to be clear – he’s not running on a sports agenda.

“I want to defi nitely take a broader ap-proach to council,” Kauhane said.

Generating more business activity and improving transit are two of his top priori-ties.

“ M a p l e Ridge needs to be “open for business,” he said in a news release.

“We would benefi t greatly if we were to promote busi-ness and retail growth in our c o m m u n i t y , from a tax-rev-enue base perspective and with the creation of jobs locally.

“We have two new

bridges that are currently taking con-sumer dollars out of town and we need to retain those dollars in our community as well as attract new spend-ing. It’s time to market Ma-ple Ridge and

promote our brand.”He also says it’s pos-

sible to fi nd the “deli-cate balance” of fur-thering business and retail growth without “upsetting” the Agri-cultural Land Reserve.

Kauhane has lived in Maple Ridge since 1998 and has coached base-ball, soccer and mar-tial arts, and if

he had to name a sports project he’d like to see achieved, it still would be getting a showcase stadium built to bring in sport tourism dollars and raise the profi le of the community.

Kauhane was in-volved with the pro-posal to do just that in 2007, although the plan to build a 2,500-seat Hammond Stadium never received funding approval.

He said he’d be a good choice for council be-cause of his leadership and volunteering expe-rience, “and because of my passion for our beautiful community.

“I believe in people and the ability to work together as a team to achieve goals and, in this case, be an effec-tive council.”

He supports Ernie Daykin as mayor. “He has the ability to bring people together.

“That’s what I want to see on the next council … looking how we can work together to come up with solutions for the community.”

In his news release, he says it’s the role of council, “to have the well-being of the com-munity at heart and to offer guidance in terms of achieving the com-munity’s vision and goals.”

A 39-year-old man was arrested by police on Saturday after he smashed the window of a pickup and proceeded to assault the driver.

The altercation took place around 10:45 p.m. on 124th Avenue near Harris Road in Pitt Meadows.

Police did not say what triggered the as-sault, but added the 18-year-old driver was only shaken up.

The man arrested has since been released from police custody but will return to court in November.

Bar fi ghtA man faces assault

charges following a fi ght on Saturday in-side a Pitt Meadows bar.

Police allege the 22-year-old man from Langley punched a woman at Roosters Country Cabaret.

Ridge Meadows RCMP were called about the assault just after just after 11:30 p.m. and interviewed

the victim and several witnesses to identify the suspect.

The man was later released on a promise to appear in court in December.

ShoplifterAn alert customer

helped police catch a shoplifter who stole groceries from Super-store on Thursday.

Around 9:45 p.m., a loss prevention offi cer saw a man running out of the store in Meadow Town Centre in Pitt Meadows and fl ee in a van.

A customer who was walking into the store saw the chase and took down the van’s license plate. The customer gave the information to store security, who called police.

Police tracked down the van and found both men, as well as $60 in stolen groceries.

The pair have since been released from custody.

Break-inRidge Meadows

RCMP are looking for a man responsible for

breaking into house in Maple Ridge on Thurs-day.

Police said a man noticed a stranger lurking around his neighbour’s home on Skillen Street around 10 a.m.

He confronted the man, who left the area in a newer model sil-ver-grey Chrysler car.

W h e n the ho-meown-ers re-turned, t h e y found two bicycles, two TVs, a computer, and a fax machine missing.

The suspect is de-scribed as a white man in his mid 30s. He is 5-11 with a slim to me-dium build and had no-ticeably large ears.

ScammersRidge Meadows

RCMP are alerting residents to a man and woman who are ag-gressively approach-ing people in an at-tempt to scam money.

The pair drive a blue 1998 Pontiac Sunfire, which has British Co-lumbia licence plates 133 SGW.

They claim there are either visiting rela-

tives in the area or are planning on moving to the area they

are in. T h e y then re-

q u e s t to “bor-r o w ” m o n -ey for g a s a n d o f f e r

When the new Port Mann Bridge starts col-lecting its coins in 2012 and motorists start pay-ing to cross the Fraser River, traffi c on the free road, the Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Bridge, should run as normal.

At least that’s what the Ministry of Trans-portation and Infra-structure is saying af-ter confi rming no extra work is planned for the Lougheed Highway to accommodate west-bound motorists from Abbotsford or Mission who may want to skirt the tolls on the Trans-

Canada Highway.“Mission Bridge/

Lougheed Highway will be slow and time-consuming in compari-son to Highway 1 or the South Fraser Perim-eter Route. Given the obvious disadvantages of using this route, no signifi cant additional traffi c is expected on Lougheed Highway,” the ministry said last week.

For toll evaders, the South Fraser Perimeter Route, “will be consid-erably faster and more effi cient that using the Mission Bridge and Lougheed Highway.”

Maple Ridge Coun. Cheryl Ashlie raised the during a recent visit by TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis and wanted to know if local roads will be crowded by mo-torists from the eastern Fraser Valley.

The department also

expects that the new South Fraser Perim-eter Road accessed at 176th Street and Hwy. 1, “with its lim-ited number of access points and fewer traffi c signals, will be the pri-mary un-tolled access route for through-traf-fi c seeking an alterna-tive to the Port Mann Bridge.”

Ministry spokesper-son Kate Trotter said in an e-mail that traf-fi c modelling indicates “that the Golden Ears Bridge-South Fraser Perimeter Road would be an attractive route from the Maple Ridge area to … Vancouver airport and the Tsaw-wassen ferry terminal because of the signifi -cant travel time sav-ings.”

Meanwhile work on the two-kilometre twinning stretch of the Lougheed Highway, just

west of Mission, will be done by November.

The project cost $23 million and consisted of three phases, re-building the Silverdale Bridge, widening the highway and building the Nelson Road inter-section. The bridge is designed to withstand a one-in-200-year fl ood.

The project needed approval by the Cana-dian Environmental Agency as the works took place in the Sil-verdale Creek wetland area, which is protect-ed under the Navigable Waters Protection and Fisheries Act.

Other issues involved having to infi ll small sections of the creek to accommodate the wid-ening and bridge con-struction. All these had to be reviewed by the Canadian Environmen-tal Assessment Agency for approvals.

News awarded contractThe Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News has been awarded the District of Maple Ridge advertising contract for a year.Council recently approved the contract after receiving bids to a request for proposals for advertising. The agreement calls for the dis-

trict to use The News for its legal notices and general advertising for a year, with option to renew for two one-year periods.The municipality spends about $60,000 a year on local advertising. The agreement also points out that the district has the right to advertise in other publications, as it sees fi t.

A staff report pointed out more people are getting their information online, but noted it was still important to continue newspaper advertising for legal requirements and to reach people who don’t use the Internet.It said that cost savings was one of the reasons in deciding to choose one particular paper.

James MacLennan/THE NEWS

Artist Lisa Lake has built a Tree of Creativity which will be displayed in the ACT throughout October. Visitors can add a “What do you love about the Arts” leaf to the tree.

THE NEWS/arts&lifeSection coordinator:Monisha Martins 604-467-1122 ext. [email protected]

Arts council turns 40While leafi ng through three scrap

books that chronicle the history of the arts council, Molly Falcon

smiles with pride.She notices the photographs of the folks

who’ve been around for years, the artists who gone on to world-wide success.

“We have a lot of people with fantastic tal-ent,” says Falcon, who has been a member of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Arts Coun-cil for the past 11 years and remembers the performances it hosted in the “Little Brick Church”.

A community institution for the past 40 years, the arts council has grown much since fi rst incorporated as a society called the Community Arts Council of T’Lagunna in 1971. T’Lagunna is First Nations word for “Golden Ears”, the majestic mountain peaks that mark the horizon.

As a non-profi t society governed by a vol-unteer board of directors, the arts council is dedicated to “Bringing Arts to the Heart of Our Community”.

Since 2003, the arts council has managed The Arts Centre and Theatre and in 2005

took on the operations of the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.

Falcon realizes many people who marvel at the Arts Centre and Theatre, featured prominently in the district’s downtown core, don’t know of its tumultuous history.

It opened its doors in May 2003, following more than 13 years of lobbying by the arts community.

The 43,000-square-foot building was the district’s fi rst multi-purpose arts centre, incorporating facilities for both performing and visual arts.

Initially turned down in a 1990 referendum, the notion was revived in 1997 when Maple Ridge council included an arts centre in its downtown redevelopment plans.

It features a 500-seat main stage theatre, 165-seat multi-purpose studio theatre, an art gallery, meeting rooms and a variety of stu-dio space for visual artists.

The equipment was paid for by a fund-raising campaign that attracted $2.2 million in sponsorships, pledges, donations and grants.

“It was an interesting exercise to go through,” says arts council director Candace Gordon when asked about the referendum that drew vocal voices both for and against the proposal.

“In retrospect, I think we are lucky that it wasn’t successful because we look at other facilities now that are attached to schools going through problems. Our independent theatre is much better.”

Gordon, a former president of the arts council, hopes people continue to support the ACT and the programs its runs with the parks and leisure services.

“Go take an art class, see a show. All that income supports programming and the building itself,” says Gordon. “If you feel inclined, we are open to donations. We are still trying to build a really strong arts com-munity.”

• The arts council hosts a 40th anniversary dinner and dance at the Pitt Meadows Golf Course on Oct. 21. Get tickets at The Act.

Celebrate culture at ACT

Visit The ACT this weekend for a nation-wide cel-ebration of Canada Culture Days.

The theatre in downtown Maple Ridge will be hosting an open house on Saturday with a variety of family-friendly activities and displays. Groups involved this year include the Maple Ridge Music Society, the Garibaldi Art Club, Lynton Studio, Art in the Swamp, Clear Focus Camera Club, the Maple Ridge Lapidary Club, the Holy Wow Poets and oth-ers.

The Emerald Pig Theatrical group will be doing face painting and other activities, including trading artists cards with Maple Ridge artist-in-residence Kjaer Pedersen, a felted-bead-making demonstra-tion and workshop by the Whonnock Weavers. Visitors will be able to learn what goes on behind the scenes during backstage tours provided by The ACT’s production department at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

A special feature will be the Tree of Creativity, created by Maple Ridge artist Lisa Lake.

Visitors will be able to add their “What you love about the Arts” leaf to this collaborative art project that will be on display at The ACT for the month of October.

Culture Days is a collaborative volunteer move-ment to raise the awareness, accessibility, partici-pation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.

The fi rst annual Culture Days event was held in September 2010 in more than 700 Canadian cities and towns.

The 2011 Culture Days weekend will take place Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. Annual, Canada-wide Culture Days events feature free, hands-on, interactive ac-tivities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes,” to discover the world of artists, cre-ators, historians, architects, curators, and design-ers at work in their community.

• The Culture Days celebration at the ACT takes place from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The last time you saw The Irish Rovers on television was likely in the ’80s on their third national television se-ries Party With The Rovers.

Now they’re back on national television with a new special, Home In Ireland, fi lmed entirely on location in North-ern Ireland. The special will be launched nation-ally on the PBS network across the U.S. and Can-ada on Nov. 27 and will also be released on DVD throughout Europe.

The Rovers embarked on a tour across Canada in September and will be stopping in Maple Ridge next week for a show at The ACT.

Throughout their leg-endary career, The Irish Rovers have been called a Canadian institution, and have touched three generations of music lovers. These Irishmen became so much a part of the Canadian culture

that Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau person-ally asked them to be-come Canadian, in order to offi cially represent Canada throughout the world.

The Irish Rovers now celebrate 45 years since their 1966 debut recording, The First of The Irish Rovers, with their 2011-Home in Ire-land tour. It has been a magical journey from their fi rst to their lat-est release, Gracehill Fair, which has had

high praise from Celtic radio announcers from Belfast to Maui, and whose title track won the 2011 Song of the Year on their home base of Vancouver Is-land at the VIMA Music Awards.

Founding members George Millar and Wil-cil McDowell share the majority of songwriting and management duties for the band. Will Millar left the group in 1994, and Jimmy Ferguson passed away in 1997. Joe

Millar’s son, Ian (who inherited his father’s golden tones) took up the family ranks when his dad retired. Big Sean O’Driscoll and John Reynolds have been playing with the band for nearly 20 years, and drum-mer Fred Graham has been touring with the lads since 2007.

• The Irish Rovers play the ACT on Tues-day, Oct. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $42.50. To purchase, call the box offi ce at 604-476-2787 or buy online at the-actmapleridge.org.

We would like to thank the many people that came out when our house burned down just over a year ago. It’s been a struggle to rebuild, what with all the municipal hoops that we had to jump through because of the non-existing environmental issues.

We’re not quite done, but we have a roof to keep us dry, lots of windows to see our beautiful setting and a big rock fi re pit where many a story was told.

Our house is a dream come true, built by friends and family and all those who have been there for us! Marlon Orthsner worked magic with the wood from Haney Builders.

Thanks to my father-in-law Dick Scott who got us some excellent deals with his charm.

There is plenty of heat from Peter Schalkx and Sons from True North Mechanical. Many thanks to Billy Robinson from M.R. Plumbing and all my friends, family and neighbors for putting up with the long hours of noise.

Thanks to Phoenix Structural for the beautiful plans and Actual Landscaping for the patch of grass that helped to make it home.

We can’t say enough to all those that helped in any way possible. Even a shoulder for Dar to lean or cry on after losing every worldly possession.

We started from scratch and were able to put our resources together and build a house made out of love and hope with the best friends one could ask for!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if there is anything we can ever do to repay your kindnesses, please call and we will be there.

thank you

Acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist Matt Andersen is having the busiest years of his career.

He has played more than 100 shows from coast to coast, toured with Stuart McLean’s Vi-nyl Cafe, played 14 Cana-dian folk, jazz and blues festivals and two shows at Britain’s massive Glas-tonbury Festival.

Hailing from New Brunswick, Andersen is known for his larger-than-life showmanship that has earned him a fervent and steadfast fan base. His sprawling blues, roots and rock musical hybrid style has gained him multiple East Coast Music Awards and an international reputa-tion.

Andersen is the fi rst Canadian artist to win the prestigious Interna-tional Blues Challenge in Memphis Tennessee.

And now, in support of a new CD, he returns as part of a cross-Canada tour appearing at The ACT in Maple Ridge this weekend.

Andersen’s honey-tinged voice and his as-tonishing guitar skills

express his very real, very rare talent.

Juno nominee for roots album of the year Del Barber opens for Ander-sen. Barber has won over audiences across Canada and the U.S. with his raw musical talent and ample doses of charm.

In two years, Bar-ber has released two full-length records and played over 300 dates throughout North America. His sophomore record, Love Songs for the Last Twenty, was re-cently nominated for an independent album of the year and roots solo recording of the year at The Western Canadian Music.

The Pitt Meadows Museum will now be an occasional contrib-utor to the Looking Back column. With that in mind, its first submission answers: “Who is the Pitt Meadows Museum?”

The Pitt Meadows Museum is gov-erned by the Pitt

Meadows Heritage and Museum Society, a non-profi t and registered charity, and is charged with the mission of preserving the history of Pitt Meadows and encouraging residents of and visitors to the community to develop an interest in the his-tory of the area.

We do this through the collection and pres-ervation of objects and archival material that relate and through the exhibition and interpre-tation of the material at the two museum sites and through outreach exhibits and programs.

Like its sister museum in Maple Ridge, the Pitt Meadows Museum oper-ates under an annual fee for service agree-ment with the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows

Parks and Leisure Ser-vices Commission.

Additional operating funds come via cash and in kind donations from groups, individuals and business.

In addition, the Government of Canada supplies summer operat-ing funds in the form of grants for student workers.

In 1978, a small group of Pitt Meadows resi-dents began meeting as a museum committee.

On Oct. 24, 1979 they applied for society status and the incorporation was granted in early 1980.

Registered Charity sta-tus was obtained about fi ve years later.

The museum itself has had three locations: a small house near the Heritage Hall on Harris Road up until 1995; a larger house on Davison Road until 1998; and its present location in the Old General Store (1886c.) building since June 1998.

The museum’s second site, the Hoffmann & Son machine shop (1936) building, was donated to the museum society in 1999.

The two buildings sit opposite each other on Harris Road just south of the CPR tracks.

Both the museum buildings have heritage designation and both buildings are main-tained with funding from the parks and leisure services commission, while capital dollars to restore the buildings and prepare them for public occupancy were provided by the district (now city).

“Life Is A Magnifi cent Adventure. Enjoy Your Journey”

– David Hennessey

In Loving Memory of David Hennessey

B orn in Dublin, Ireland, David passed away in

Maple Ridge surrounded by his family on September 23, 2011.

Lovingly remembered by his beautiful wife Betty, his children Sandra (Cliff), David (Christelle), Claudine (Steve) and Justin, his grandchildren, Darah, Matt, Brandon. Kallisté, Enzo, Cadence and Jem, and his siblings Bernadette, Austin (Mary) and Gerry (Margaret), extended family and many friends.

David loved his family with all of his heart. He inspired and motivated his children and grandchildren to always do their best and “never quit”. He taught them that “Whatever you want in life you can achieve.”

David was a news and sports enthusiast. Constantly striving for more knowledge about the world we live in.

David was inspired by the writings of the likes of Earl Nightingale “Lead the Field”, Norman Vincent Peale “The Power of Positive Thinking”, Og Mandino “Secrets For Success And Happiness” and Napoleon Hill “You Can Work Your Own Miracles ”.

He was always good humored, full of life and interested in everyone. He believed in the impossible and achieved the impossible.

If you ever felt down, you could rely on him to motivate and inspire. His words of wisdom lightened even the heaviest load and he always had an interesting and humorous story to share. He was a genuine story teller.

David was a pioneer in business who continually created new ways to serve his clients. He was devoted to making the world a better place one person at a time. David showed that the power of co-operation and great service was the best way to build a successful business.

David’s approach to living was as a man of integrity with a gentle soul whose generous spirit always made life better for those all around him.

In his own words... “Follow Your Heart and Live Your Dreams”

We love you and miss you every day.Funeral Mass to be held Friday, September 30, 2011 at 11:00 am at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Maple Ridge. Celebration of life/reception will follow at 2:00 pm at Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel.

Improve your Home, Improve your World

Meadow Ridge Rotary Club

If you want to improve the world, the best place to start is right at home. That has always been the vision of the Meadow Ridge

Rotary club. Most parents know full well that motivating our youth to be the best they can be is easier said than done. You cannot force, but you can certainly entice our youth to spend a substantial part of their free time participating in a sport of their choice. The Meadow Ridge Rotary club identi ed that there was a shortage of minor league sports facilities in our communi-ties and decided to do something about that. For 20 years we have organized a sports banquet, an evening where we honour outstanding local athletes, raise funds for sport facilities and have a good time. The result: close to $500,000 was raised and disbursed to 17 local projects as “seed money” or contributions ranging from our rst project the Albion sports park ball diamond to our latest one the batting cage for the Meadow Ridge Minor Softball Association on the same location. Among the many projects were an all weather eld, sports courts, lacrosse box etc. Kudos to the high school coaches and the

volunteer youth sports organizations that were responsible for the athletic successes from our communities. As a result we were able to induct 34 outstanding athletes as Home Town Heroes as role models for those attending our local schools. All of these individuals have come through our youth sport organizations and gone on to international competition. Their pictures and stories are displayed at all our local schools as an inspiration for the cur-rent cohort of students.The message these poster convey is that many

of these heroes had played “in my gym”, “in my sports league”, “on my team” that they too could get there from here.

If you would like to nominate someone for the Home Town Heroes program, the criteria are simple. The individual must have lived in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows; attended school in SD42; played on local sports teams and gone on to compete/participate internationally. If you would like to nominate an individual, please email [email protected] providing details which meet the criteria or call Mary Robson at 604-466-333.Now that there are many more sports

facilities both the Haney and Meadow Ridge Rotary clubs have joined forces and organized the rst Annual Rotary Duck Race to offer enhanced funding for youth sports organizations so that nancial barriers for participation in a variety of sports are lowered. $70.000 was raised and cheques will be pre-sented to the recipients at this year’s banquet.

The Ridge Meadows Bruins men’s rugby team managed to close the gap after a slow fi rst half, but ultimately lost by a score of 38-33 to Simon Fraser Uni-versity, dropping to 0-2 in regular season Divi-sion 3 play.

SFU demonstrated fi ne passing and run-ning in the fi rst half as they were able to con-trol the fl ow of play and go into halftime leading 24-0.

The second half fea-tured a more aggressive and determined Bruins team, as they scored an impressive fi ve tries, converting on four of those. Dustin Fletcher provided some fancy moves and nice pass-ing, while Rob Hughes pounded in an impres-sive three tries. Logan Duke Bodnarchuk and Josh Ladd each provid-ed a try as well. Reed Nelson was excellent on try conversions as he managed to make all four he attempted. Liam Leyland almost converted on a try but just missed wide.

The Bruins have two more games on the road but hope to come home to a supportive crowd on Saturday, Oct. 22 for an 11:30 a.m. kick-off at Thomas Haney Sec-ondary School against UBC.

Meanwhile, the Bru-ins’ women’s side lost 29-15 to the Brit Lions on Saturday, falling to 0-3 in Tier 2 play.

Bruins fall, despite 2nd half heroics

Flames fall in home opener

It wasn’t the start to the Pacifi c International Junior Hockey League season the Ridge Mead-ows Flames were hoping for Friday night as they were shut out 3-0 at home by the Grandview Steelers. Their fortunes didn’t improve Saturday night either, as the Flames lost 4-1 to the North Delta Devils on the road to fall to 0-2 to start their 2011/12 campaign.

The Steelers didn’t waste any time getting on the board Friday night as they silenced the home crowd with the opening goal just a minute and a half into the game. The Steelers held their 1-0 lead until midway through the second period, when Kentaro Tanaka scored on the power play to give Grandview a two-goal lead after Terence Trusdale was called for cross-checking.

The Flames’ fortunes didn’t fare any better in the third as a costly give-

away resulted in the Steelers scoring

short-handed, put-ting the game out

of reach.Saturday saw

the Flames get off to a good start

against the North Delta Devils, with

Peyton Lupul scor-ing late in the fi rst to give

Ridge Meadows a 1-0 lead. However, the Devils responded early in the second with a pair of goals to pull ahead of the Flames. North Delta added two more in the third, handing the Flames their second loss of the season.

Flames goaltender Tyler Klassen received third-star honours both nights as he made a total of 74 saves to keep the Flames competitive. How-ever, with just a goal to their credit in their fi rst two regular season games, the Flames will need much more than goaltending if they want to start registering wins.

Help is on the way, with the return of forward Danny Brandys imminent. Brandys was the Flames leading scorer last season with 20 goals and 52 assists, good for second in the Pacifi c Inter-national Junior Hockey League with 72 points.

The Meadow Ridge Knights junior bantam football team improved to 4-0 after a hard fought 34-18 win over the Ab-botsford Falcons at home at Samuel Robertson Technical secondary on Saturday.

The entire offensive line of Peter DeZueew, Mackenzie Baust, Adam Chislett, Thomas Janke, and Devon Keoughan were the key to the win as they won the battle in the trenches. Riley Kenal got the fi nal touch-down to seal the victory, while Jeremy Kankalongo ran like a train and Brandon Shanley had a great game on defence.

The Knights will try to keep their unbeaten streak alive as they next face the 2-2 Chilli-wack Red Giants at home this Saturday.

The junior bantam squad weren’t alone in the win column as many of the Meadowridge Knights Community Football Association’s other team were victorious last weekend.

The atom Gold Knights played their inter-club rivals the Blue Knights in their only regular season meeting, win-ning 14-6.

The Blue Knights took a 6-0 lead at halftime with some strong play by the defence led by Tristan Hawke, Jaxon Smart and Ty Verrier.

Offensive linemen Carlos Redekopp, Mitchell Alcinay, William Ferguson and Tyson Smith put forth a great effort in keeping the Gold Knight de-fence at bay.

However, the Gold Knights regrouped at half time with quar-t e r b a c k A d a m Jones lead-ing the way.

Jacob Bell and Josh Tokaryk led the offensive line and helped Eric Clark and Kurtis Brown run for touchdowns. Before getting injured, James Ross made three critical tackles on defence for the Gold Knights. Tyson Phare and Isaiah Cavalli made some great plays to keep the Blue Knights off the score sheet for the rest of the game.

The peewee Gold Knights beat the peewee Blue Knights 6-0 in their inter-squad match-up. The Gold Knights were led

by Eric Tweten, Jaydeep Sa-char and Jackson Smith.

In four games, the defence has allowed an average of less than 10 points per game. On of-fence, Cody Stewart and Brock Pelwecki provided great block-ing for the running attack.

Chase Wise, Anthony Cam-eron, Liam Cumarasamy and Adam Brass made key tack-les for the Blue Knights on

the defensive side of the ball while Alex Rideout, Dylan De-Beer and Jake Lof-

tus played well on of-fence.

The midg-et team was sched-uled to play Burnaby on S a t u r d a y ,

but won by default as Burnaby did not have enough players. The midget Knights now sit at 2-2 for the season and play in Coquitlam this coming Satur-day.

The Knight’s bantam team saw their record drop to 2-2 after falling to the top-ranked North Surrey Tigers, 38-6. Kurtis Blaine had a solid game for the Knights running the ball well and scoring the knights lone touchdown. Jordan Howe and Alex Cox led the defense.

Pumpkin Cross registration open

Paul Craig of Pitt Meadows takes part in last year’s Pumpkin Cross cyclocross race.

The fi fth annual Pump-kin Cross B.C. Cup cy-cling race is set to roll through Maple Ridge on Sunday, Oct. 23, and reg-istration is now open for those wanting to partici-pate in the event.

The Halloween-themed cyclocross race takes place at Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre and will feature all levels of cyclists competing while dressed in costume.

“There are going to be some new twists and turns to this year’s course that will keep all of the racers on their toes,” said race organiz-er Barry Lyster, owner of Local Ride Bike Shop.

“In addition to obsta-cles like Lezyne Lake, the Spooky Forest, and the Coffi n, our course de-signers have some tricks up their sleeves.”

Cyclocross is a type of off-road cycling where racers take multiple laps of a course that typically takes under 10 minutes to complete, with the en-tire race time clocking in at under 60 minutes.

Racers face obstacles

and barriers for which they may have to dis-mount from their bicy-cles to overcome. Due to its fast-paced and spec-tator-friendly nature, cyclocross is a popular activity for all levels of competitors, and offers a range of categories from beginner to elite.

Over the fi ve-year history of the race, or-ganizers have strongly encouraged participants to dress in costume, with a cash bonus offered for racers who can win their race in costume and a prize for overall best cos-tume.

“We anticipate an even larger rider turnout than last year with a larger percentage getting cre-ative with costumes,” said Lyster. “It’s great to see more and more people embracing the festive Halloween spirit by dressing up and hav-ing fun.”

Pumpkin Cross offers a free kids’ race and a $10 race entry for youth un-der 17.

To register for the race, visit www.karelo.com.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, David passed away in Maple Ridge surrounded by his family on September 23, 2011.

Lovingly remembered by his beautiful wife Bett y; his children Sandra (Cliff ), David (Christelle), Claudine (Steve) and Justin; his grandchildren Darah, Matt , Brandon, Kalliste, Enzo, Cadence and Jem; his siblings Bernadett e, Austin (Mary) and Gerry (Margaret); his extended family and many friends.

David loved his family with all of his heart. He inspired and motivated his children and grandchildren to always do their best and “never quit.” He taught them that “Whatever you want in life, you can achieve.”

David was a news and sports enthusiast, constantly striving for more knowledge about the world we live in.

David was inspired by the writings of Earl Nightingale’s Lead the Field, Norman Vincent Peale’s Th e Power of Positive Th inking, Og Mandino’s Secrets for Success and Happiness, and Napoleon Hill’s You Can Work Your Own Miracles.

He was always good humoured, full of life and interested in every-one. He believed in the impossible and achieved the impossible.

If you ever felt down, you could rely on him to motivate and inspire. His words of wisdom lightened even the heaviest load, and he always had an interesting and humorous story to share. He was a genuine story-teller.

David was a pioneer in business who continually created new ways to serve his clients. He was devoted to making the world a bett er place, one person at a time. David showed that the power of cooperation and great service was the best way to build a successful business.

David’s approach to living was as a man of integrity with a gentle soul, who’s generous spirit always made life bett er for all around him.In his own words, “Follow Your Heart and Live Your Dreams.”

We love you and miss you every day.Funeral Mass will be held Friday, September 30, 2011 at 11:00 am in St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Maple Ridge. Celebration of life/reception will follow at 2:00 pm in Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel.

In Lieu of fl owers, please consider a donation to Th e Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon.

Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca

“ Life is a magnifi cent adventure. Enjoy your journey.”

–David Hennessey

Go-Have-One!How having regular mammograms saved my life.Did you know that getting older is one of the highest risk factors for breast cancer? Did you know that fi nding smaller tumours earlier saves lives? Breast cancer survivor, Jane Ambrose, will share her story of navigating the Breast Cancer journey.

Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, Jane has been a strong supporter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Jane has told her story to a variety of audiences from Mother/Daughter Breakfasts at local high schools to media interviews. Jane is featured on the Canadian Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Navigation Map offering encouragement to women newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Jane also volunteers for the Foundation and serves on the Community Grants Review Committee.

Surviving breast cancer was a life changing experience for Jane. Shortly after her surgery, she participated in her fi rst CIBC Run for the Cure walking 1 km and raising funds for the Foundation. A year later, Jane joined a Survivor Learn to Run Clinic which trained her to run the 5 km. Since then Jane has participated every year, raising over $30,000. After her fi rst 5 km run, Jane realized that anything is possible and made a career change joining her husband, Ken, at RE/MAX LifeStyles Realty as a local Real Estate Professional.
