Cliff Avenue was looking more like a regular road Thursday as the number of homeless tents dropped almost to the single digits.

“We went from 27 tents down to 10 in one week,” said Kelly Swift, general manager of parks and recreation services.

“We are keeping a full-court

press on supporting people moving into the shelter.”

Once the temporary homeless shelter on Lougheed Highway and 222nd Street opened on Oct. 1, street outreach workers and bylaws were able to offer home-less campers a place to go and continue a process of voluntary dispersal from Cliff Avenue.

The homeless camp sprung up in May and continued growing to the point where tents lined both sides of the street in mid summer.

The gradual process, involving bylaws, parks staff, police and

outreach workers, will continue hopefully until the last tent is gone, Swift said.

While there’s no timeline for clearing the street, the intent is to keep the pressure on.

“We would like to see the last tent off the street today, if pos-sible. We’re working to keep it as peaceful a process as we can to support people moving to a safer place.”

Most, but not all of the camp-ers are moving to the temporary shelter, operated by Rain City Housing until April.

After creating a new deputy mayor position, council named Coun. Tyler Shy-mkiw on Monday as the first to fill the job.

But Coun. Corisa Bell wasn’t happy with how the change was made.

She wanted a full report on it and said council previously wanted a de-scription of what the deputy mayor’s job would be, as well as the extra pay a councillor could earn for that position.

“In the spirit of open government and transparency, and everything this council represents, I feel it would be in-appropriate for us to vote on this,” said Bell.

“That’s what we requested prior to making this decision. It’s unfortunate that all the information isn’t here.”

Mayor Nicole Read said later that there was political will to make the change.

“And so we moved fairly quickly on it when we knew we had the political will to do it.”

One full-time deputy mayor will re-place the system of acting mayors, in which each councillor served for two months of the year.

A full-time deputy mayor can assist the mayor more and deal with issues quickly, and head meetings, if neces-sary, she added.

Ten days are left and five candidates hope they can get

the numbers to win in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge.

“I’m going to do my best,” says Green party candidate Peter Tam, whose chances of win-ning are on the outside.

“There are five choices and we all are saying something different,” Tam said.

“I’m going to do my best.”Tam has his work cut out, trying to improve

on his 2011 showing, in which he won 2,629 votes for the Greens in the old riding of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission. He’ll need almost 10 times that to get into the running for victory in this election.

People are telling him they want to vote Green, but are choosing another candidate for strategic reasons.

“Everybody has told me, they want to vote Green … but they’re so afraid of the Conser-vatives getting back in.

“If each of those people voted Green, I would get the majority.”

Dan Ruimy, with the Liberals, is facing the same numerical challenge, after his party won only 2,739 votes last election.

“From Day 1, I told you, I was going to win this thing and I still am.”

“It helps to have Justin [Trudeau] on our side, of course.”

Ruimy said support is growing for the Lib-eral party as people realize that it has a plan that puts the needs of the country first instead of winning an election.

“It’s not how do we plan an election, it’s how do we do right for the country. In doing that, that should get you the election.

Poverty and housing are the top issues he’s finding on the campaign trail. He’s concerned about poverty issues, such as helping single women.

“We’re always perpetuating the cycle of pov-erty,” Ruimy said. “The Conservatives have out their balanced budget after six deficits and they mock our concept of running a deficit, which is ridiculous.”

Ruimy said if he’s elected, he’ll use the allow-ance for an MP’s office to hold town hall or round-table meetings on various topics with voters.

It’s been a long campaign, but it’s been on focused on the issues, he said. “I think people are seeing through the smoke screen. We are ripe for change.”

Mike Murray, past executive-assistant to retired MP Randy Kamp, is running for the Conservatives in the riding.

In the 2011 election, Kamp’s margin of vic-tory (28,803 votes) was almost 10,000 above his nearest rival, the NDP candidate.

The new, smaller riding of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge, has only 70,000 eligible voters, compared to 88,500 in the former Pitt Mead-ows-Maple Ridge-Mission.

“I think I feel pretty good,” Murray said.Key to election is to identifying support and

getting voters to the polls. Organizers are try-ing to do that during advance polls, Oct. 9 to 12.

“They’re committed. They’re ready to sup-port me. We want to get them out there,” Murray said.

But he’s not taking anything for granted and keeps pounding the pavement and knocking on doors to win votes. One thousand people showed up a nomination meeting in the sum-mer.

He says he’s got a good team, with about 100 volunteers.

“I also think we have work as if we’re be-hind.”

Murray said most people are polite when he knocks on doors. And the top issue? “I really do think people are asking the question, re-garding the economy.

“Now is not the time to change course in a fragile, global economy, go the route primar-ily of my opponent, the NDP, where they’ve never governed the country before. And I do get some sense that people are thinking that through.”

Murray said he hasn’t heard the issue of Muslim women wearing the niqab during citizenship ceremonies, saying that’s more of a Quebec issue. The government has twice tried to get a court decision overthrown allowing a woman to wear that while being sworn in, although she has to reveal her face when actu-ally getting her citizenship.

He added most people are supporting the Trans Pacific Partnership free trade deal re-cently approved, though still requiring parlia-

mentary approval.The NDP’s position on that issue could be a

sign of a collapse in voter support, said Mur-ray.

“They have to retreat to their anti-free trade stance and that’s kind of their hail Mary.”

Bob D’Eith, with the NDP, says it remains a tight race in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge.

“We’re out working every day. Definitely, people are wanting change. That’s the com-mon theme.”

D’Eith said if the NDP MPs across Canada can hold on to their seats, the party only will need 35 seats to defeat Stephen Harper’s Con-servatives.

That makes B.C. important. And while poll-ing is down nationally for the party, “we know the polls in B.C. are going up for the NDP.

“So the national polls don’t necessarily re-flect what’s going in B.C. So we’re buoyed by that.”

He added that the NDP is the only party that can beat the Conservative party in this riding.

“If you look at the polls, it’s Conservative-NDP. That’s the way it’s going to be in this rid-ing. It’s been that way for 50 years. That’s the way it’s going to be that way this time again.”

“I think most people are not very happy that [Stephen] Harper would conduct negotia-tions secretly then sign it in the middle of the election when he’s supposed to be the custo-dian of the government.”

Each country still has to ratify the deal, which hasn’t been released.

“We don’t know what the terms are,” D’Eith said.

Steve Ranta is also running as an indepen-dent.

Maple Ridge council is going back five years and dusting off some musty planning studies of Albion flats.

Monday, council sup-ported staff ’s idea of revisiting four scenar-ios created by a com-munity brainstorming process in 2010 for the lands along Lougheed Highway and 105th Av-enue.

Doing so can save time and money, as council takes another try at planning for the area after a land swap between SmartCentres developers and the city was cancelled following November’s civic elec-tion.

“I would just love to go back to the 2010 concept plan and build on that,” said Coun. Craig Speirs.

The four scenarios, two for either side of 105th Avenue, pro-posed a mix of recre-ational, agriculture and light industrial/com-mercial.

However, council of the day held another meeting during which business groups were represented and decid-ed to submit a plan call-ing for development of the majority of the flats, which total about 130 hectares (329 acres), most of which is in the Agricultural Land Re-serve.

That was rejected by the Agricultural Land

Commission, saying only that the east side of 105th could be de-veloped, and that could only happen if drainage is improved on the west side for farming.

“The biggest value for the community … are the recreational oppor-tunities and we want to be sure we celebrate and it’s an expectation we have to realize,” Speirs said.

He favours putting shopping areas closer to where the homes are on 240th Street.

Albion flats contains Planet Ice, Golden Ears Winter Club, and the Albion Sports Complex. Maple Ridge recently received $500,000 to replace two gravel fields with artificial turf.

Coun. Corisa Bell wanted to ensure whatever scenarios are sketched out to the public are realistic.

Would the city still consider a shopping

mall if there’s no de-mand for one after the previous developer backed away, she asked.

Many questions need answering when plan-ning the area, said Coun. Gordy Robson, who wanted the eco-nomic development department to lead the project.

“We need to have a plan for transit. I don’t see it here.”

Plus there’s nothing about an overpass over the CP Railway line, connecting the south and north sides of Al-bion.

“We don’t know if there’s a West Coast Ex-press [stop]. We don’t know where it’s going to be.”

Such questions are the point of bringing the proposals back to council, said planner Jim Charlebois.

Public works general manager Frank Quinn said the city’s transpor-

tation plan does iden-tify a railway overpass and West Coast Express station for the Albion area, though there’s no location yet.

Drainage is a signifi-cant issue, added Mayor Nicole Read. The area is within the Fraser River flood plain.

With council agree-ing to use the 2010 scenarios as a basis for planning, workshops can take place over the next several months, followed by an open house on a draft con-cept plan. An applica-tion to the Agricultural Land Commission to exclude land from the agricultural reserve can follow.

The commission has said it would support excluding land on the east side of 105th Av-enue in return for im-proving drainage for farming on the west side, a project which could cost $2 million.

But, “At the end of the day, peo-ple will make their own choice about where to go.”

So far, 27 people have moved into the shelter and are actually living there, said Swift.

The shelter, open 24 hours a day, has capacity for 40 people and provides laundry and hot meals.

Swift said the preference is to clear the street voluntarily, which will be a much quicker process than having to get a court order.

That process is underway, but could only start once the tempo-rary shelter opened.

Once a court injunction has been obtained, it must be shown to the campers, who then are giv-en time to respond.

After that, the court then will issue a specific day for when the city can clear the street.

Joanne Pinkney, with Maple Ridge Pool and Spa, said the tents in the front of her business have now disappeared, with the re-mains at the west end.

“I hope they can manage it. I’ll feel a lot better not having to look at it through my front door.

“I hope it works, that it’s going to work.”

However, she said the chain link fence that was built separating the street from the ravine where people used to camp, has now been broken in two places and

she saw someone going down there, although she’s not certain if anyone is again camping there.

Ridge Meadows RCMP con-firmed that a drug overdose oc-curred at the city shelter on Tues-day, about 4:10 p.m.

However, the man had recov-ered by the time paramedics ar-rived and took him to hospital.

Council, at any time, could still pass a resolu-tion naming a new dep-uty mayor.

Couns. Gordy Robson and Craig Speirs both said council should have had more information. Only copies of resolu-tions were provided to council on Monday.

Robson said the pub-lic wants to know how much the deputy mayor will get paid.

Read said the salary will remain the same as for the former acting mayor’s position, which is 20 per cent of the may-or’s salary of $100,000.

That works out to al-most a 50 per cent raise (councillors make about $43,000) for Shymkiw if he serves the entire year.

The overall amount paid to one deputy may-or, though, will be the same as paying the pre-mium to six councillors for two months each.

Read also wants the deputy mayor, when nec-essary, to attend Metro Vancouver meetings and the Mayor’s Council on Regional Transportation, which also earn daily sti-pends.

Read agreed that a news release could ex-plain all the changes.

“I didn’t like how this was handled from the beginning,” Speirs said.

He wanted a report so that council can discuss it openly.

Previously, council-

lors all took turns as act-ing mayors, giving each a raise for those two months.

But with only one

full-time deputy mayor, “many people are going to take a pay cut. There’s no doubt about it. We have to be honest about

it,” Speirs said.Council approved

naming Shymkiw the deputy mayor, with Bell voting against.

I’ve re-written this too many times now. Frankly, I’m

infuriated anew by every federal election attack ad.

Plus, experience has left me cynical that leaders “don’t really say much,” while parties honor even less of what they say.

Look, people fortunate or industrious enough to have a personal stake in tax rates seem for-ever bound to supporting the Conservatives.

Similar allegiances to social benefits or unions tie other voters irrevocably to the NDP.

Meanwhile, the theoretical middle is a Liberal Party well-known in Ottawa for “campaigning from the left but governing from the right.” The truth, however, is the momentum of modern economies make the actual differences nearly insignificant.

The Conservative party ran stimulus-motivated deficits six straight years before announcing a balanced budget.

The New Democrat Party now swears it will deliver balanced budgets no matter what.

Overlooked as a result is that voters born after 1958 had two full years of the pension they’ve paid into for decades taken away in no small part so a balanced budget can be claimed for electioneering purposes.

And that transferring $2 billion a year in

excess Employment Insurance premiums into general government revenues equates to a secret tax on businesses and general theft from every working person.

Furthermore, since, in this riding at least, free trade has delivered mixed results, isn’t it insulting to ask for our vote while also informing us we aren’t allowed to see how much more sovereignty the new Trans-Pacif-ic Partnership Agreement cedes to corporate appointed tribunals?

Similarly, the defunding of a CBC, which has been the heart of our national identity for 85 years, hasn’t been made a point of conver-sation – even by the CBC itself?

Then, how about public input regarding Canada’s lost reputation for peacekeeping in the wake of knee-jerk support for a super-power bent on post 9-11 vengeance?

Or which civil liberties ‘temporarily’ abridged by ‘The War on Terror’ might soon be reinstated? Surely seniors and students deserve a say about choosing to spend $100 billion on new war planes rather than using such funds to bolster medical coverages and tuition fees, no?

Apparently not given the cross-party trend of consolidating ever more power into the Prime Minster’s Office – I haven’t heard a single backbencher protest that whipped votes on 900-page Omnibus bills, in which 1,200 clauses amend 135 unrelated laws, renders them unable to represent their con-stituents, have you?

Apparently, they’ve been suppressed just like the whistle blowers, charitable groups

and federal scientists that ‘our’ government has banned from publishing results or even speaking to the media.

Prioritization of campaign donations has pushed climate change to the sole realm of fringe parties. But surely the reallocation of subsidies from ‘Big Oil’ to carbon sequestra-tion initiatives or mass transit has appeal to small business and the public.

Farther afield, how many have heard men-tion of a Guaranteed Minimum National Income concept, which has academic sup-port from both the left and right? Or interest in reforming a tax code whose 120-plus ‘boutique’ credits for special interests infer $6 billion year in filing costs imposed on taxpayers?

Any discussion at all about increasing income inequality? The growing influence of money in politics? Not even a pattern of electoral fraud has been cited, even by the parties these Conservative convictions disadvantaged.

Whilst this list examples may seem biased, 2011’s electoral majority did provide the Conservatives a mandate to reward their base. And whereas, if real differences existed between the parties, then a major campaign issue would be reforming of a system where 39.6 per cent of the vote renders all compet-ing views impotent.

With less than three weeks to go till the federal election, it’s high time that voters – if they haven’t al-ready – give some serious thought to who they want to lead the country forward for the next four years.

Locally, there will be five names on the ballot.Most of the names will be familiar to those who

have called Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows home for any length of time and pay attention to current events.

But name recognition alone is not enough to base a vote on.

What will these candidates do for the community should they win a seat on Oct. 19? How knowledge-able are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make our community’s voice heard in Ot-tawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction, locally and nationally?

There are no shortage of ways to get to know the issues, and where each candidate stands on them: go to debates, visit campaign offices, call or email the candidates directly or simply stop them in the street and ask.

If they really want to represent you – as they insist they do – they will take the time to hear what’s im-portant to you, and give their time to fully explain their positions and what’s driving them.

Candidates, too, have very limited time left to make their views known, to sell constituents on their abilities to have a positive influence on this commu-nity’s and Canada’s future, and bring the needs and wants of both to the forefront.

The bottom line is this: Oct. 19 isn’t just another day. It’s a day that will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time – a term in which much can happen, both positive and negative.

No doubt, there will be those unhappy with some or all of the decisions of those who are elected to ef-fect change or stay the course. Many are unhappy with the electoral process altogether and have a jaundiced view of all politicians, regardless of party affiliations.

But saying that a single vote doesn’t count is tan-tamount to saying that all votes don’t count – a po-sition we don’t believe Canadians are ready to em-brace.

Editor, The News:Re: Former Pitt mayor

wants specific breed ban (The News, Oct. 7).

First of all, I would like to send my deepest condolences to the family of Buttons. I can only imagine what you must be going through. It would devastate me if anything like this happened to one of my dogs.

However, I must point out two important things.

Firstly, the article is about a bull mastiff attacking Buttons, and the former mayor want-ing specific breed ban.

On what? Bull mastiffs? A bull mastiff has absolutely nothing to do with any of the pitt breeds.

Bull mastiffs are large dogs, known as the gentle giants. There are French mastiffs, Neapolitan mastiffs, English mastiffs and so on.

Is the former mayor suggest-ing that he wants to ban mas-tiffs? He should watch Turner and Hootch. That is a mastiff.

Bull mastiffs are not aggres-sive dogs, never have been, never will be. If it was a bull

mastiff that killed poor But-tons, then it was definitely a one-off.

I am against any breed-spe-cific ban. But if we are going to ban mastiffs, we may as well just ban all dogs over 15 pounds.

Secondly, I would like to know why, in a country that opposes the death penalty, a country where child murder-ers continue to live, are we proposing there should be one for dogs?

Are we then saying that we

should hold dogs to a higher moral standard than our-selves?

Should dogs know better than to kill another dog more so than humans should know better than to kill another hu-man?

A man tortures, molests, and kills a child and is allowed to live.

A dog kills another dog be-cause of instinct, poor social-ization, some unknown dog reason, and that dog should die?

Someone really needs to ex-plain to me how this makes sense.

Are dogs supposed to be smarter than us, have better judgement than us, under-stand consequences better than us, display better self-control than us?

Sometimes animal behav-iour cannot be explained. Sometimes bad things hap-pen. Sometimes they just act like animals and do things on instinct. God forbid. Kill them all.

Editor, The News:Yet another study reveals Canadians’ disdain for the practice

of slaughtering grizzly to allow “trophies” in the form of sev-ered heads and paws.

Repeatedly, biologists have warned that this practice is not sustainable. Ten coastal First Nations have attempted to ban the hunt on their lands. Statistics reveal that the revenue generated by ecotourism is five times that of trophy hunting.

The image of Canada is being tarnished and placed among Third World countries who are so desperate for income that they allow the slaughter of their indigenous species for a few dollars. That this barbaric practice is not acceptable to Cana-dians is no longer in question. What is in question, however, is why there is no political will to end trophy hunting.

During this peak time of the federal election, when parties are announcing their platforms on a myriad of issues, there is not a word of concern about the plight of the grizzly.

The grizzly is currently labeled at risk. The federal govern-ment has all the scientific evidence to upgrade this rating to en-dangered. It chooses, however, to maintain that further study is required.

What is even more interesting is that all four parties both at the local and federal level fail to reply to emails as to their plans to end grizzly trophy hunting. One is left to assume that there is no plan. If elected officials are selected to represent the views of their constituents, why is this so?

The September clean-up of Katzie Slough bagged a hill of gar-bage, and a canoe-based sweep is planned for later this month.

Timo Hess, a volun-teer spokesperson with the Katzie Slough Res-toration, project told council that last month’s cleanup addressed the issue of garbage in the slough, to some extent, as a team of 37 volun-teers pulled out 26 bags of full, which weighed more than 200 kg. Most of it was in the form of takeout containers and disposable cups, but there were also chairs, pallets, a shopping carts, as well as a large mirror.

“It was a great show of community spirit,” said Hess, noting that some of the volunteers were just passersby who saw the effort and joined in.

Hess is hoping for a

similar effort on Oct. 24, when volunteers will again meet for a cleanup, this time based from canoes, so they can do more than just the shoreline. They will gather where the slough meets Harris Road, just south of Old Dewdney Trunk Road, and work from 2-4 p.m.

The slough also suf-fers from poor water quality and flow, and this is exacerbated by invasive plants on the shoreline.

One of the volun-

teer projects in 2016 will be to remove in-vasive plants from the riparian area (shore) of the slough, and re-place them with native plants, said Hess.

The goal of the Katz-ie Slough Restoration Project is to restore the waterway, which is primarily used as an irrigation source and drainage ditch by farm-ers, to a coho salmon habitat.

The project is taking reservations for one of its five canoes for the

Oct. 24 event.It will be a tour of the

slough, followed by a cleanup event. The cost to rent a canoe is $20, or participants can bring their own.

“The aim is to get on the water and enjoy it,” said Lina Azeez, of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, “with a cleanup at the end of the day.”

Pitt Meadows council chambers was packed with people Tuesday, and at least a dozen dogs.

Together, they were howling for tougher by-laws in the city for dan-gerous dogs.

The group filled the gallery to standing room only, and brought a banner, a beagle and several other breeds. The banner read “Jus-tice for Buttons,” refer-ring to the Shih Tsu cross who was killed by a bull mastiff on Sept. 28 at the patio of the Harris Road McDon-ald’s restaurant.

The delegation was led by the dog’s owners, John and Yvonne Mc-Donald. Yvonne spoke about Buttons’ work as a therapy dog, about the

attack, and the couple’s recommendations for tougher laws.

Their supporters in-cluded several other dog owners whose pets had been injured or killed in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

Yvonne urged the city to do more to ensure dog owners are respon-sible for their pets. She said the mastiff ’s han-dler was running home with the dog, and would not have been identified if she hadn’t been fol-lowed home by a “good Samaritan.”

The dog’s owner ex-pressed condolences, but then refused to pay $1,200 in veterinary bills, she said.

Pitt Meadows should put animal control back in the control of the SPCA, said Yvonne.

“The city of Pitt Meadows has failed its citizens terribly,” she added.

She also recommend-ed: that a dangerous

dog have an implanted microchip that details its history, so that it fol-lows the animal to other communities; that the fine for an un-provoked dog attack start at $500; and that the municipal-ity seize the offending dog until the victim dog’s vet bills are paid.

“As it is, they’re walking away,” she said.

And the McDonalds say dangerous dogs should not be allowed in public places, includ-ing trails and parks.

Yvonne said the city was negligent in allow-ing a dog that was al-ready determined to be dangerous to be out in public.

The dog had been re-ported to be aggressive, but was not deemed dangerous under the bylaw.

According to city staff,

the bylaws officer rec-ommended the dog be muzzled in public, and the owners were com-plying with that request.

But the muz-zle had been removed so the dog could get a drink of water.

The McDon-alds’ position is that if a dog kills another, it should imme-diately be put down.

The couple got sympa-thy from councillors.

“I have two dogs and I can only begin to try and understand how you must feel with the loss of Buttons, particu-larly in terrible, horrific circumstances in which it occurred,” said Mayor John Becker.

He responded that one of the new council’s first initiatives was a “more robust” dog bylaw. Staff are following those new protocols, he said, and while they may not be enough, they are tough-er than the preceding bylaws.

“We are going to be revising the whole ani-mal welfare situation,” including getting SPCA service back, he said.

He called the SPCA presence “a very signifi-cant budget item.”

Becker clarified that the city cannot force the dog owners to be finan-cially responsible for the damage their pets do.

“We, as a local gov-ernment, do not have the jurisdiction to im-pose liability on the dog owner in this kind of situation,” said the mayor.

Coun. David Mur-ray said he owns a Shih Tsu that almost mirrors Buttons and called the dog’s death tragic.

“This created a lot of stir on council. It really hit home,” said Murray. “I’ll tell you one thing – we’re going to get some-thing done.”

Coun. Tracy Miyas-hita asked for a destruc-tion order.

“This dog needs to be put down,” she said.

That got a huge round of applause from the au-dience, that was punc-tuated by a deep bark.

City CAO Kim Grout responded that such an order could only be pursued through a pro-vincial court order.

What could be the last big residential develop-ment in Pitt Meadows is taking some heat from neighbours.

Pitt Meadows coun-cil started the approval process for the new 245-unit townhouse com-plex located at 19451 Sutton Ave., and some of the opponents didn’t like the timing. Because the meeting was held last Tuesday at 3 p.m. many of the neighbours were at work, and could not be on hand to ask questions.

Coun. Janis Elkerton said she has had numer-ous calls and e-mails, and even been “stopped on the street about this project.”

She said council should be sensitive to the public, and said the afternoon meeting brought to mind the “Swan-e-set days,” when council and the public were at odds over an unpopular subdivision proposal.

“Are we following our own procedure bylaws,” asked Elkerton.

Mayor John Becker said the procedures changed when coun-cil took one of its two monthly council-in-committee meetings and made it a special meeting, in which it could do business, in-cluding considering by-laws.

The mayor put the Sutton Avenue subdivi-sion on the afternoon agenda, not staff, due to the volume of work that council is facing.

“The optics are not good in the community,” said Elkerton, adding it should have been dealt

with at a 7 p.m. evening meeting.

Onni, the developer, held a public consulta-tion on June 4 at the South Bonson Commu-nity Centre, and has met with the city’s advisory design panel four times.

In response to feed-back a those meetings, Onni has made some changes to its proposal, which is located at the corner of Bonson Road and Airport Way.

The original proposal was for 270 townhouse units, but the current proposal is down to 247 units. The density of 53 units per hectare is con-sistent with the official community plan, noted Kate Zanon, director of development services with the city.

Other changes include east-west pedestrian connections, a wind-ing road with a varied streetscape and extend-ed sidewalks.

Regulations would re-quire 483 parking spots in the complex, but 548 will be provided, in response to concerns about the project.

The developer will widen Sutton to provide on-street parking and a walkway, noted Zanon.

Pitt Meadows resident Ron Bennewith appreci-ated that council agreed to a larger than usual mailout to residents neighbouring the prop-erty, advising of a com-ing public meeting. He expects his neighbours to come out and voice their opinions.

“There’s too many units packed into that area,” he said, and added that the increase in traf-fic will make Airport Way a dangerous thor-oughfare.

Elkerton has heard complaints that the density of the project does not match adja-cent neighbourhoods. However, the density does create efficiencies for the city in providing services, she said.

Elkerton noted the sig-nificance of the project, in that it is the last land available for a residen-tial development of this scope.

“This is one of the last big projects we can do, and we’re going to do it right.”

Becker echoed that sentiment, noting that Onni has been back and forth with the city’s de-sign panel, and is stick-ing to the OCP.

“Council will make sure the development is one that we’re going to be proud of, while being sensitive to the concerns of the neighbours.”

Council gave the proj-ect first and second reading, which allows the project to proceed to a public hearing.

The public hearing on the proposal will take place on Oct. 20, at the regular council meeting.

There are signs the flu season may hit B.C. early and hard and public health officials are warning they ex-pect the flu vaccine to again be less effective

than they’d like.The most dangerous

influenza type for vul-nerable people is the H3N2 strain that was dominant in last year’s severe flu season.

But because of a ge-netic mismatch, the vaccine provided last year was useless in warding off H3N2, ac-cording to B.C. Centre for Disease Control

epidemiologist Dr. Danuta Skowronski.

That component of the vaccine was re-placed on orders of the World Health Or-ganization, but pre-liminary evidence suggests the new ver-sion will still not be a good match against H3N2, falling well short of the 60 to 70 per cent protection rates against other flu strains in most years.

“I believe it’s going to be better than last year – in other words I don’t think it’s go-ing to be zero – but by how much, I can’t say,” Skowronski said.

She said there’s good reason to hope it may be 40 to 60 per cent ef-fective overall, adding she continues to rec-ommend the vaccine, particularly for those more vulnerable.

“If you are a high-risk person, especially with heart and lung conditions or elderly, even if you’re look-ing at vaccine protec-tion of 30, 40 or 50 per cent, you’re still better off than if you’re un-vaccinated.”

Flu vaccine will be widely available by November and may be offered sooner than that in high-risk set-tings like residential care homes.

Epidemiologists had expected H3N2 would be less prevalent this year, with more of a mix of H1N1 and in-fluenza B strains also in circulation, making the mismatch less of a worry.

But Skowronski not-ed there have already been two H3N2 out-breaks in long-term care homes in B.C.’s Vancouver Coastal health region – one in the summer and an-other in late Septem-ber.

“To have had out-break activity already in the summer is very unusual,” she said. “We are monitoring that closely for the possibility of an early season.”

Apart from last year, B.C. hasn’t seen flu outbreaks this early since 2009.

Last year, with H3N2 widespread and the

mismatched vaccine offering no defence, there were 175 out-breaks in long-term care homes.

That was the highest number in more than a decade and twice as many outbreaks as the previous peak year of 2012.

Skowronski ac-knowledged the mismatch problems threaten to erode pub-lic confidence in the flu vaccine but hopes vulnerable patients are not dissuaded.

“For me, it would be a double tragedy, frankly, if coming out of last season our high-risk people lost faith and did not get the vaccine.”

While influenza is a “miserable” illness, Skowronski said it’s not life-threatening to healthy people, for whom vaccination is still encouraged but a matter of personal preference.

About one-third of B.C. residents typical-ly get the flu vaccine each year.

H3N2 vaccines have consistently under-performed in recent years.

Skowronski said more work is needed to try to solve the challenges of accu-rately gauging the vac-cine’s fit against the virus in the lab, and in effectively reproduc-ing a well-matched vaccine without losing its properties.

Also requiring more research, she said, is emerging evidence suggesting repeated use of the vaccine by a given patient dimin-ishes its effectiveness for them in future years.

While the flu vac-cine may not perform as well for someone who also received it the previous year as it would for a first-time user, Skowronski said, they’ll still be better off than unvaccinated people.

Her team is trying to recruit more B.C. doc-tors and nurses to help track the spread of flu strains this year and monitor the effective-ness of this year’s vac-cine.

As a cyclist, you always need to have your wits

about you. Intersections usually

are the most danger-ous places to be for any road user, as dangers can be approaching at high speed from any direction, usually in the form of cars.

Drivers sometimes fail to look out for and see pedestrians and cy-clists or underestimate the speed of cyclists when they make a turn.

You often read about the high prevalence of distracted driving, which causes about a quarter of all car crashes, or 88 fatalities and many more injuries every year in B.C.

Most cyclists under-stand that helmets and good behaviour offer little if any protection from it.

Riding along some roads can be tricky, too, especially when you’re squished in between parked and moving cars, with or without a bike lane.

Kanaka Way is one of those roads that can be rather daunting, especially at rush hour, when commuters are in a rush to get to work or to get home.

Last Saturday, the sky was so amazingly blue, I had to get out for a ride. Didn’t get very far, though.

On Kanaka Way, I passed a car that was parked along the curb.

I always try to check if there’s anyone in the driver’s seat of a parked car.

By suddenly opening their car door in your face, they can cause you to fall in front of a pass-ing car, which isn’t fun.

Cyclists getting ‘doored’ make up about 10 to 15 per cent of all accidents involving cyclists.

I always make sure I keep a good distance between myself and any parked cars to make sure it doesn’t happen to me.

Sometimes that means having to stay out of a bike lane, which can turn into a danger zone when cars are parked right beside it.

Bad design.In this case, the

engine of the car was running. If the driver didn’t see me, he could take off just as I was passing him. So I glanced into the car at the driver to make sure he was paying attention to me.

His head was tilted backwards, his eyes closed and his mouth wide open.

Something wasn’t right.

So I turned back to check on him. His window was open, and I first talked to him, then yelled. No response.

He was sweating pro-fusely.

His face and his arms were covered with droplets of sweat.

I grabbed his shoul-der and shook him.

Still no response. I could see the rapid

pulse of his carotid artery.

This wasn’t good. I dashed over to the

nearest house and banged on the door.

Thankfully, someone was home, and, with his cell phone in hand, Jim ran out to the car with me.

He called 9-1-1 and stayed on the phone with the helpful opera-tor while we waited for help to arrive, kind of freaking out each time the fellow’s breathing stopped for some time.

As Jim whacked

him on his chest, he wheezed and started breathing again.

After what seemed like a long time, a fire truck ar-rived.

After some more prod-ding, the guy soon regained consciousness.

Then an ambulance and a police car arrived.

The guy claimed he was “just fine.”

Right. When they tried to make him walk in a straight line, he didn’t seem to be doing too well.

I left after leaving my information.

Jim told me the next day that his car got towed. I’m not sure what the penalty would have been and how long he won’t be able to drive for.

The fact that he even passed out while behind the wheel surely is indicative of the seri-ousness of his actions.

It’s a scary thought that there are people like this young fellow,

a novice driver doing who knows what.

According to the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 36.7 percent of fatally in-jured drivers in Canada tested positive for im-pairing drugs in 2008.

For alcohol, this per-centage was 40.8.

Jim said that 10 min-utes before I banged on his door, he’d been outside in his garden and the car wasn’t there at that point. So mere minutes before he passed out, this young man was actually driv-ing his car.

Fortunately, he was OK and nobody got hurt.

I hope he learned his lesson.

L o o k i n g B a c kBy Mark Chen

At the beginning of the 21st Century, there

were talks about the amalgamation of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

However, talks re-main just that.

The historical de-velopment surround-ing the geographical differences between the two municipalities will always keep them independent from each other.

Here is why.Pitt Meadows had

always been site to frequent seasonal flooding from both the Fraser and Pitt rivers.

The Katzie estab-lished only temporary settlements in the flooding area for hunt-ing purposes, then moved back to their permanent settlement.

Although Pitt Meadows’ soil is fit for agriculture, the frequent flooding of the Pitt River made it not arable.

As Governor James Douglas once toured lands along the Fraser River in the 1850s, he outright rejected the possibility of any agricultural develop-ment in Pitt Meadows because of the flood-ing.

Indeed, the major-ity of the crown lands in Pitt Meadows were only sold to specula-tors who wanted the area diked.

The only farms were on the central high-land, now the area around Harris and Ford roads.

That was where Mr. Harris started his dairy farm in the early years of the city.

The demands of the landowners and a growing population of resident farmers then led to the increasing need for a reliable dike.

However, since Pitt Meadows’ amalgama-tion into Maple Ridge in 1874, this ques-tion had been largely

ignored by the rest of the municipality, which had less such concern due to a higher elevation.

The diking efforts in Pitt Meadows began as soon as the district broke off from Maple Ridge in 1896.

From then, the farm-ers and speculators formed local diking districts and worked with the provincial government to reclaim the farmlands from floods.

However, even the highest level of human endeavors couldn’t successfully combat the forces of nature.

Until the end of the Second World War, floods overflowed the dikes in Pitt Meadows and some of the farm-ers and speculators went deeply in debt.

The job was espe-cially hard in northern Pitt Meadows, where the altitude was lower.

Numerous pioneers, including Mr. Rannie and the Mennonites, attempted settlement in the area, but were all driven out by the seasonal floods.

It was not until a Dutch investor, Jon Blom, and his group of associates accepted the challenge in the 1950s that any progress was made.

With their Dutch ingenuity, the polder was finally diked, eventually providing a good example for the diking of southern Pitt Meadows.

Nowadays, Pitt Meadows residents en-joy their lives without ever worrying about floods.

However, we should never forget that it is the result of people leaving the conve-nience of cities and starting new lives pioneer-style even in the 1950s.

Hardship and en-deavors are what have held us together as a community.

Mark Chen is an assistant at Pitt

Meadows Museum.

Why our two cities are apart

The dikes in Maple Ridge and Pitt

Meadows remain today popular among

recreational users.

Now selling Phase 3, the 90 Con-dos that range from 553 sq.ft studios to over 2,600 sq.ft penthouses that are suitable for people at varying stages of life.

“Th e general appeal is that it is worry free living,” says Sarah Toigo, Director, Sales and Marketing, of Tsawwassen Springs. “We have seen people moving out of larger houses into similar or smaller square foot-age, and occasionally more square footage. We have also sold to inves-tors, as the rent we are getting here is comparable, if not more in some cases, to Vancouver rent.”

Th e future is bright for Tsawwas-sen, with numerous upgrades adding to the current and future value of the area. A new shopping mall, Tsawwas-sen Mills, is slated to open next year, and major transportation improve-ments are currently underway, including the widening of Highway 17, the South Fraser Perimeter Road opening, the Tunnel Improvement Plan and a bridge replacement.

“With that said, Tsawwassen is a peninsula, so we are limited as to how far we can expand,” says Toigo. “So I expect our small town feel to stay just

as charming.”Tsawwassen Springs is currently

off ering incentives on their Phase 3 Condo release for homebuyers who purchase in October.

“For smaller suites, we will off er a limited time cash incentive,” she says. “On larger suites, we will include a double car garage in the under-ground - hugely popular in our Phase 2 building.”

Th e incentives compliment the already distinct features that make Tsawwassen Springs a worthy invest-ment.

Proximity: It takes twenty minutes to get to YVR and thirty minutes to get downtown. If you are looking for a community feel without being isolated from urban conveniences, the town of Tsawwassen is it.

Masterplanned community: What makes Tsawwassen Springs a head above the rest is that they off er maximum integrity with every detail, says Toigo. Th ey only work with one architect, one builder, and one developer in every respect of the development.

Amenities: Th e amenities at Tsawwassen Springs are all A-plus. Th e nearby golf course was com-pletely rebuilt as an all-season course with superior drainage that keeps fairways green all year long. Th e highly anticipated steak and seafood house, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar is opening this fall, and the Springs

Ballroom can be transformed to ac-commodate special events for up to 500 guests.

Th e Real Estate: Customiza-tion is key for Tsawwassen Springs, off ering over 8 diff erent fl oor plans and 3 interior design colour palettes carefully selected by award-winning Martie Knockaert of Diff erent De-signs Group Inc. “Th ese options allow [homebuyers] to participate in the look of their home,” says Toigo. “Lots of people want to be able to build a

custom home, but don’t have the time or interest, so this allows them to cus-tomize within our parameters.”

Every aspect of Tsawwassen Springs is high end, from exterior to interior fi nishings. Enjoy the comfort of a large master bedroom, oversized windows that allow plenty of natural light, hardwood fl oors, stain-resistant wool carpet, a spacious, covered deck with a natural gas hookup for bar-beques and overhead heaters. Plus, Tsawwassen Springs has solar panels

to off set maintenance fees, as well as a geoexchange heating and cooling system that uses the temperature of the earth to provide heating, cooling, and hot water. It’s the goal of the Tsawwassen Springs team to make everyone feel at home and ensure the area serves as a sanctuary where families can thrive. Th ey host regular community events for Homeowners to get to know each other, and have even developed a closed community page on their website where Home-owners can arrange to meet, plan tee times, walks, coff ee dates, etc.

“I grew up in Tsawwassen, and I think what makes this the best kept secret is that people are still friendly and good to each other,” says Toigo. “You go for a walk on the dike, and people you pass say ‘hello,’ and its not because you know them. It’s super safe. It’s sunny here. We have three times as much as the rest of the Lower Mainland, and you get this su-per sweet, charming, small town life, with big city proximity. It’s the best of everything.”

II t’s true, there is a lot happening in Tsawwas-sen and now is the best

time to become part of it. Although the area has gone undeveloped for years, that untapped potential is fi nally being recognized, with pro-priety value only expected to increase. There is still a chance to buy into the area with Tsawwassen Springs - a beautiful six-storey con-crete Condo building located at 5011 Springs Boulevard.

The Arts & Crafts theme is echoed in the interior design. The organic beauty of granite, wood and wool are ever present.

A striking feature of the condominium buildings is size of the decks-outdoor spaces.

I have always considered persimmons to be the lunatic fringe of edible fruits.

First of all, they look more like a tomato than, say, an apple or pear, and their flavour is an acquired taste – so much so that until recently I didn’t think that anyone who hadn’t grown up with them could ever find them appealing.

But then we had this long, hot summer and suddenly all those far flung persimmon trees were producing record-breaking crops of fully ripened fruit and I got my hands on some Pitt Meadows grown ‘Early Fuyu’.

While I consider myself to have a reasonably tolerant palate (meaning that I know what I like but can also appreciate how someone else might enjoy a flavour that doesn’t appeal to me), my past persimmon tastings have been consistently met with explosive, ‘please get this thing out of mouth’ responses that I can only describe as instinctive in nature.

So it shouldn’t surprise any of you that I approached this tasting with a great deal of caution, carefully sniffing and licking before I took my first bite of this ripened orange orb, and despite a little stringiness, the subtle flavours that surprised my taste buds were those of peach and sweet potato – an entirely unexpected and delicious experience.

Then I visited another garden where I knew an established American persimmon was growing and tried a few of the smaller, pale orange fruits and was again pleasantly surprised.

I should emphasize the key to success with persimmons is a long, hot growing season, as the more common species are native to such far flung places as China and southwest Asia (Diospyros kaki and D. lotus), as well as the

southeast United States (Diospyros virginiana) where it is also known as Possumwood.

They prefer deep fertile soils with good drainage and some shelter from cold winter winds and late frosts. Hardiness varies from species to species, with the more common Japanese persimmon (D. kaki) being Zone 7, the date plum (D. lotus) Zone 6 and the American persimmon (D. virginiana) a very hardy Zone 4.

Pollination can be a bit tricky, as many persimmons have separate male and female trees. However, with the Japanese persimmon most of the available cultivars are self-fertile and non-astringent (meaning they won’t suck your saliva dry and force your tongue to retract halfway down your throat at first bite) with the

best of these being ‘Fuyu’, ‘Early Fuyu’, ‘Jiro’ and ‘Izu’.

For self-fertile American persimmons, choose ‘Meader’, or ‘Russian Beauty’ and ‘Nikita’s Gift’, which are both crosses of D.virginiana and D.kaki.

Despite its hardiness, the date plum (D.lotus) is relatively obscure and is more often used as a hardy rootstock.

It also requires cross-pollination, but will often produce seedless fruits without it. These are quite tiny (about the size of a large gooseberry) and really not palatable until exposed to a frost or dried, which sweetens them up.

Expect to wait up to five years before a newly planted persimmon will mature enough to

flower and produce. In the meantime, you can appreciate the

beautiful foliage, which on the Japanese cultivars emerges a yellowish-green that darkens and gleans with age.

A greater demand for Diospyros kaki fueled by the arrival of new immigrants from Asia means that they are becoming more readily available and come spring, you should be able to find them at your local garden centre or nursery.

You can also go to the Granville Island Market to find fresh persimmons and enjoy their seasonal flavours.

Pitt Meadows Marauders senior boys’ AA soccer head coach Mike Oldridge said his team’s game Mon-day, Oct. 5 against the Archbishop Carney Stars would be a true mea-suring stick of where his squad sits.

Now he knows. The Marauders battled the Stars to

a 1-1 draw Monday at South Bonson Field.

Oldridge said he was pleased with how his team responded on defence against one of the toughest teams in the division.

“Throughout the game we got strong play from our central mid-fielders Mason Lidbetter and Mar-celo Estay.”

Pitt Meadows tied the game in the last five minutes, when striker Josef Rebalkin rifled home a feed from Jonas Koellmel, who showed some great ball control after taking a feed over the top and beating a pair of Star defenders before setting up the goal.

The Marauders opened their sea-son at home on Thursday, Oct. 1 with a convincing 5-1 win over Westview Wildcats.

• The SRT Titans continue to sur-prise as they dropped the Thomas Haney Thunder 2-1 on Tuesday.

Alex Dominguez opened the scor-ing with a terrific shot from outside the box on a counter set up by Bela Piocza.

Piocza jumped on a rebound to give the Titans a 2-0 lead, his fourth goal in two games.

“I thought our whole team – and I mean top to bottom – had a great game,” said SRT head coach Emad Agahi. “We play a different kind of formation than any of these guys play on their club teams and I think

they have adjusted nicely to it.” He said the team’s formation relies

on keeping things tight defensively and making sure they convert when chances come on the counter.

“It only works if everyone is buy-ing in and playing hard and I think we did that against Thomas Haney,” said Agahi.

He said goalkeeper Seth Jessome settled in nicely, stopping a break-away and a free kick late in the con-test to preserve the win.

“It’s all about confidence with him and as long as he believes in himself, he will play well. Technical things like when to come out and where to position himself are things I can help him with,” said Agahi.

SRT opened the season with a 5-3 win over the Garabaldi Rebels.

Grade 8/9 Thomas Haney Thunder assistant

coach Paul Franco is excited about what he sees with the young team. The early season results back up that enthusiasm. The Thunder has won both of its opening games in con-vincing fashion, defeating the SRT Titans 6-1 on Monday, Oct. 5 after opening the season a week earlier with a 7-1 thrashing of the Westview Wildcats.

Franco said THSS is not usually as well recognized as some of the oth-er schools regarding sports, but the soccer program is helping to alter the perceptions.

“This is for sure changing in soc-cer. Our grade 8/9 girls’ team won the Fraser Valleys last year,” said Franco.

He said the talent on the Grade 8/9 boys team is “incredible.”

• The Thunder visits Archbishop Carney on Oct. 14 at 3:30 p.m.

International Carrier Appreciation WeekTo the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News’ Carrier Force.Many of us, as young people delivered the newspaper as a fi rst job, to save up for a new bike, a vacation or just simply for spending money. I know I did. I used to wake up at 5:00 each morning, hop on my bike and deliver the daily newspaper in the rural area that I grew up in.

Some people deliver the newspaper in their retirement years for exercise and income.

Th e newspaper industry has employed people of all ages for many years. We employ executives, pressmen, journalists, advertising consultants and professional people of every ilk, but it would all be for naught if readers did not receive the fi nished product on their doorstep each week.

Our youth and adult carrier force is integral to the success of our industry. Without carriers braving the elements each week to deliver the paper to readers and local shoppers, we would be out of business in very short order.

So, on the occasion of International Carrier Appreciation Week (October 4 – 10), I would like to extend a heartfelt ‘Th ank You!’ to each and every one of our dedicated carriers who deliver the News to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows homes and businesses twice a week, every week all year long. Th at’s 104 editions per year!

Without you, our carriers, we could not continue to serve ourcommunities as we have since 1978.

Respectfully,

Jim Coulter,Publisher.

Respectfully,

You’ve just completed a hard exercise class or gone on a long, undulating hike

fraught with hazards and hills. Or maybe you’ve taken on

a do-it-yourselfer renovation project, but it turned out to be a don’t-it-yourselfer. You wind up exhausted and out of breath look-ing forward to resting the next day or two.

But what you find is that as tired as you were initially, you end up being much stiffer and sore the two days following the hard physical effort than the day you exercised. Why is that and what is actually sore?

We’ve all experienced this physical sensation at one time or another known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS for short. DOMS is experienced un-der a few specific conditions.

It is often experienced when we do exercise that is much harder than we’re used to or uses muscles in a different way than we’re accustomed to.

For instance, a runner who one day does a high intensity exercise class that involves lots of squats and lunges will be moving their hip and knees into deeper ranges of motion and loading them with more resistance (especially if they use weights) than they’re used to.

Another factor that produces DOMS is what’s called ‘eccentric’ muscle contractions – this is the lowering phase of a weight lifting movement. Taking a heavy box from a table and lowering it to

the floor is an example. Another example is the landing phase of a jump or absorbing energy as you run downhill.

In fact, in labora-tory tests done between groups of people who only lift a heavy weight, say from the floor to standing position (called ‘concentric’ muscle contraction) and another group who only lowers the weight from standing down to the floor (‘eccentric’), it is the group that lowers the weight that experiences DOMS.

In the past, it was thought that DOMS was caused by lactic acid build-up in the muscles, but this has been shown not to be the case since lactic acid gets used up as fuel and removed from your muscles very soon after exercise stops.

It is not present in the 24 to 48 hours when DOMS peaks. The prevailing theory since lactic acid was discounted was that damage to the muscle was the source in-flammation and pain. But it turns out the recent research has shown that to be false, as well.

Although it feels like it’s the muscle that is sore, recent research studies have shown that the source of DOMS is not the muscle but the fascia (pro-nounced ‘fash-a’).

Fascia is the connective tissue or sheath that covers bundles of muscles. It spreads throughout

the body providing a connective tissue net-work linking muscle groups and other tissue, vessel and nerve systems. The results of the DOMS studies showed that soreness was localized to the fascia and not the muscles. Why is this? Researchers are not sure of the mechanism at this point, but some

theories have been proposed. One theory is that muscles

and fascia have different elastic properties, causing a zone of shear where fascia is subjected to micro-damage and possibly adhesions, and this is the cause for DOMS.

So what can you do to ease DOMS? Doing low to moderate cardiovascular exercise will help, but this can even be hard some-times when fatigue is great.

Stretching can drastically reduce DOMS possibly because stretching causes the fascia to slide more smoothly past neigh-boring tissue.

Over time, if you allow adhe-sions between fascial layers to accumulate, this can potentially cause decreased mobility, increas-ing stiffness and an ongoing source for soreness.

The Meadow Ridge Moose remain unde-feated after three games in South Coast Female Amateur Hockey League play after sweeping a pair of weekend tilts in Surrey.

The Moose opened the weekend by blanking the South Delta TNT 3-0 on Saturday, Oct. 3 thanks

to a pair of goals by Day-na Briggs. Jade Werger scored the other goal, while Madeline Cock-rill chipped in with two assists. Sabrina Math-ias recorded the shut out, turning aside all 27 shots.

Meadow Ridge then toppled the Island Surge 6-2 on Sunday, Oct. 4 as Briggs recorded another two-goal performance

to go with her one help-er. Moose forward Em-ily Jude also had three points, registering a goal and two assists. Cockrill contributed two helpers.

The Moose built up a 3-0 lead more than mid-way through the second period before giving up their first goal of the weekend. Katie Green-way picked up the win, making 18 saves on 20

shots. Briggs and Jude are sitting in third in league scoring with five points in three games.

• The Moose host the Fraser Valley Jets at Pitt Meadows Arena on Sat-urday, Oct. 17 at 8:30 p.m. and play at the Langley Events Cen-tre on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 1:45 p.m. against the Trinity Western Univer-sity Titans.
