Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows News - June 8, 2011 Online Edition

A mall developer that owns large tracts of land along Lougheed High-way in Pitt Meadows is voicing its support to pave a large portion of the site.

In a letter to Pitt Meadows coun-cil, Smart!Centres stressed that any development which sets aside land for agriculture would see the com-pany contribute much less towards the construction of an east-west road, proposed by the city to draw traffi c off Old Dewdney Trunk.

The proposed road is also es-sential to service the undeveloped commercial strip, west of Meadow Gardens Way, as the province has refused to allow the city to cre-ate an access point along busy Lougheed Hwy.

“It is the only option that will pro-vide Pitt Meadows with suffi cient developable area to make the ... construction of the road economi-cally feasible,” wrote land develop-ment manager, Andrew Sinclair.

Gerry Briffett wants to follow the rules.

And if the District of Maple Ridge’s sign bylaw requires him to remove a

banner hanging from his Gold Rush Jewellers store on 224th Street, he’ll do that.

But he wants to know why he’s be-ing picked on and dozens of other businesses throughout Maple Ridge are allowed to keep theirs fl ying.

“Why should we take down our sign and nobody else has to take down their sign? That’s the issue.”

Briffett was told earlier this year by the bylaws department to remove the

banner that runs above his store on 224th Street, next to the Tim Hortons.

He was told that all shops, restau-rants, car lots and gas stations have to do so under the bylaw and was giv-en only a day to comply or be fi ned.

But more than 30 other businesses in the downtown still have their signs up, and more than 100 along the high-way, he pointed out in a March letter to Maple Ridge’s bylaws department.

A few weeks ago, Gold Rush put

its banner back up – only to be told to take it down, which Briffett did. On the other hand, another store nearby had its sign up for more than a month.

Briffett wrote another letter in April to the Maple Ridge bylaws de-partment, as well as councillors, say-ing only fi ve businesses are being targeted for not complying with the sign bylaw.

Jeweller would comply if other businesses treated same way

A recent move by Fraser Health to treat increasing numbers of seniors in their homes has upset seniors

advocates who believe the local health au-thority is discharging patients too quickly from hospitals to save money.

Peter Church is the building manager of Maple Ridge Towers, a non-profit housing facility that offers rent as low as $340 a month to low-income seniors and those 55 and over with a disability.

While the apartment building is meant to house seniors capable of living indepen-dently, Church says the building is quickly turning into a care home, something it was not designed to be.

“Some of the conditions they live in are terrible, they can’t take care of themselves,” he said. “They shouldn’t be here.”

Church believes the seniors with chronic conditions are being released home from hospital when they should be going to an assisted care facility instead.

Although many at the facility receive home care nursing services from Fraser Health, Church says the services they offer aren’t always adequate.

“Some of these people are living in fi lth,” he said. “They might have someone come around once a week, but that’s not enough.”

Church says while he is well within his rights to evict tenants who are unable or unwilling to care for themselves, it’s a route he’s hesitant to take.

“I’m not going to put a wounded, ill man on the streets to fend for himself,” he said. “But, at the same time, there’re 64 people here who I have to think about, who could be threatened by infection and disease.”

Carl Meadows, director of home health services for Fraser Health, says the move towards treating seniors with chronic conditions at home is meant to keep them healthier, longer.

“Fraser Health is really changing its para-digm [regarding seniors’ care],” said Mead-ows.

“Home is best. We know for seniors, acute care is not the place for them. They are sus-ceptible to infection and weight loss.

“We want them out of the hospital as fast as they are able, but we want to make sure people have their needs met.”

Building residential care facilities to ac-commodate the rapidly aging population would cost too much, said Meadows, and in

20 years time, those buildings would likely be vacant.

“There’s no way possible for the health system to meet that demand,” said Mead-ows. “Home health is a much more cost-ef-fective model.”

Currently there are close to 14,000 cli-ents Fraser Health cares for through home health in the region. Meanwhile, Fraser Health’s 7,400 residential care beds are at 98

per cent capacity.Once released from the hospital, a care

plan is developed with a case manager and a nurse or health care provider is assigned to visit the home of a patient to manage medication, provide cleaning services, or cook meals.

However, one of the most diffi cult chal-lenges home care nurses face are patients who refuse service, says Meadows.

“Some seniors are stubbornly indepen-dent and they don’t want somebody in their home,” he said. “That puts us in a diffi cult situation, because it is their choice, and they have a right to do that.”

Bob Kerfoot’s 97-year-old mother was re-cently released from hospital, and instead of being transferred to residential care, Fraser Health opted to provide her with home care. Kerfoot said his mother was of-fered four visits a day, to clean her and cook her meals. But because there is no one avail-able through the night, should she have an issue, Kerfoot inevitably gets the call.

“I cannot look after her,” said Kerfoot. “I am 75 and have had surgery for a ruptured abdominal aorta, and have COPD [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease].”

Kerfoot already has to look after his wife, who has just fi nished radiation for double lung cancer, and still has treatment to un-dergo.

“It is tearing me apart,” he said. “They are going to send her home to lay in bed and die.”

Heather Treleaven, head of the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie Seniors’ Net-work, said, while home health care has obvi-ous advantages, there still needs to be more publicly-funded facilities that offer residen-tial care for seniors.

“It’s the low-income seniors who are at risk, because they can’t afford private care,” she said. “We understand the finan-cial pressures staff at Fraser Health are under, but there is a need there.”

Move to home care rankles seniors advocates

Thousands turned out for the 73rd annual Pitt Mead-ows Day celebration on Sat-urday.

In fact, crowds were dou-ble what they were last year, said Richard Keltie of the Pitt Meadows Day Soci-ety.

“It’s the best year we’ve ever had, there’s no doubt about it,” declares Keltie.

He attributes great adver-tising in combination with the beautiful weather for the high turnout.

Thousands turned out for the parade, says Keltie.

“And despite the hockey game, there was still a good turn out for the barbeque.”

There were 77 entries and close to 12,050 participants in the parade, which started at 11 a.m. at Blakely Rd. and Hammond Rd. and made its way through Pitt Meadows to Harris Rd. and McMyn

Rd..Early risers were able to

enjoy the Lions Club pan-cake breakfast at Heritage Hall. Opening ceremonies took place at 1 p.m. and in-cluded the crowning of Miss Pitt Meadows 2011, the Citi-zen of the Year award, the Lynn Papp Community Ser-vices Award and the presen-tation of parade trophies.

Rose Smyth was crowned Miss Pitt Meadows 2011.

Nikki McLaren won the Lynn Papp award.

Shirley Murphy was

named citizen of the year.All day Saturday there

was entertainment both outdoors and in and activi-ties for the whole family.

Crafters lined Harris Road Park selling everything from fl ower planters to traditional hooked rugs to wooden toys.

This is the most there has ever been, says Pitt Mead-ows Day Society president George Coghlin. There were 40 crafters who took part this year, compared to only 11 last year.

Coghlin admits that he was concerned about this year’s barbeque hosted by the Pitt Meadows fi re de-partment, coinciding with Game 2 of the Stanley Cup fi nals, involving the Van-couver Canucks.

“Attendance was a little down from last year [for the barbeque],” he acknowledg-es. “But the barbeque, nev-ertheless, went well.”

So did the fi reworks, which took place at 10 p.m..

All in all, Coghlin thought the day was fabulous. He

was thrilled with the turn out and by the people par-ticipating on the fi rst really nice day of the year.

“We’ll be having a wrap up meeting soon,” to discuss

the success of this years festival, Coghlin said of the Pitt Meadows Day commit-tee. “Then we’ll get down to work again in the fall,” for next year.

A medical marijuana grow operation in Maple Ridge producing a much larger crop than permit-ted has been busted by Mounties.

Police got a warrant to search the property in 26000-block of 112th Avenue on May 26 after receiving information about illegal activity.

The rural property was the site of two ap-proved Health Canada medical marijuana pro-duction licenses.

One license permitted the production of 122 marijuana plants, while the second allowed for 98.

When police executed the warrant, they found a total of 1,490 plants – seven times larger than allowed.

In addition to the mar-ijuana, police seized

a R44 helicopter, two pickup trucks and three 30- to 40-foot, enclosed mobile marihuana grow labs that were not yet in use.

“During this investi-gation, it became very clear to police that marijuana from this li-censed operation was

being sold in the Lower Mainland,” Cnst.. Mi-chael McLaughlin. “This investigation is ongoing and police anticipate more arrests.”

Two men inside a barn where the pot was being grown and a third was arrested inside a house on the property.

The grow up was housed in trailers on a rural property with a helicopter.

The grow operation had seven times more marijuana than permitted.

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – The treaty with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon was hastily approved as the B.C. legislature adjourned for the summer last week.

This treaty was by far the most sig-nificant work of the legislature session, and it may make or break the hugely expensive B.C. treaty effort.

Yet it received all of four hours of debate during the abbreviated spring legislature session and will probably get little attention when it reaches the House of Commons for final approval.

A few eyebrows were raised when Chief Justice Lance Finch of the B.C. Court of Appeal entered the legislature to give royal assent to the treaty and a handful of other bills.

This would normally be the duty of Lt.-Gov. Steven Point, but he was on a four-day visit to promote literacy at reserves in the Quesnel and Williams Lake area.

I’m advised by the lieutenant-gov-ernor’s staff that this trip had been scheduled for some time, and his ab-sence had nothing to do with the treaty awaiting his signature. It is purely a coincidence that Point is a former tribal chair of the Sto:lo Nation, which sent a delegation to the legislature to protest the Yale treaty just before it was tabled.

The only substantive scrutiny of the

treaty, and the only vote against it, came from independent Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson. He stressed that he supports the Yale’s right to a treaty, but detailed the Sto:lo’s objections.

Their central objection is that the 150-member Yale band is an arbitrary creation of the Indian Act, a splinter group of the larger Sto:lo Nation.

The treaty formalizes the Yale’s con-trol over key canyon fishing and rack drying sites that were vital to survival for thousands of years.

Ottawa outlawed transfer of native hereditary property rights in its notori-ous potlatch law of 1884, and native fish sales in 1888.

This disrupted whatever order had been imposed by Sto:lo clans on the fishing sites. Some Sto:lo people were moved south to reserves in the Fraser Valley, where they were expected to abandon their traditional ways and become farmers.

Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall put it to me this way: “I don’t want to be like Donald Trump and look at people’s birth certificates, but the Yale are a Sto:lo band. They would have been chased out of there a long time ago if they weren’t.”

In the treaty debate, Simpson put it to Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak that the federal and provin-cial governments have resorted to a “first-past-the-post” system to force progress on treaties. He said the tiny Yale community gets a huge advantage by completing a treaty, while some Sto:lo bands remain at an early stage of negotiations and still others aren’t in treaty talks.

Polak cited a section that is now stan-dard in modern treaties. It protects the constitutional rights of other aborigi-nals where a court upholds a claim to Yale territory, which they will soon own as fee-simple property.

Polak insisted the Yale treaty will ease tensions in the disputed fishing sites, where violent incidents have taken place. She argued that exclusive access to the main areas of dispute was long ago included in the Yale’s original reserves. The treaty will provide a process for temporary access by other people, native and non-native.

We will see if she is right, perhaps as early as this summer.

There are two regions of B.C. where the encroachment of European settlers led to shooting wars with aboriginal people. One was the Cariboo-Chilcotin and the other was the Fraser Canyon.

This week’s question: Would a Canada Post strike aff ect you much?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

When it comes to the Canada Postal workers strike, one question is likely to be asked a lot. Something like this, perhaps: “Who will no-tice?”

But the same factors that make regular ‘snail’ mail less relevant are also likely to turn the 24-hour strikes by the postal workers’ union in to a longer one, perhaps rivalling the epic postal strikes of the ’70s and early ’80s.

The difference this time is that the union is in a far weaker bargaining position.

Courier services and e-mail have cut deeply into Canada Post’s core business – even having bills arrive by e-mail is no longer uncommon, and paying bills electronically is nearing univer-sality – so a postal strike no longer has the pos-sibility of bringing commerce to a standstill.

That’s not to say that Canada Post is unneces-sary.

Social assistance cheques of various kinds still arrive via mail and, except for hand delivery, the mail is the most effective way of getting original copies of documents across the country.

But what a lengthy strike will do is encourage people to make even more use of direct deposit, electronic communications and courier services as a substitute, hastening the transformation of Canada Post into just another commercial cou-rier service, moving farther away from its prime position of being Canada’s offi cial carrier.

Both sides in this dispute have a lot to lose if a protracted strike occurs.

Both sides in this issue need to take a step back and consider how the public will react to the strike.

They then need to sit down at the table and keep at the negotiations until they fi nd an ac-ceptable compromise.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Ranch hand charged

in shooting (The News, June 1).

Harold Schienke has been charged with one count of careless use of a fi rearm for attempting to defend against a criminal act re-peated within two days.

I put forth the opinion previously that the crimi-nal justice system, and in this case the RCMP, in par-ticular, are clearly, patent-ly and obviously incapable of fulfi lling their mandate of protecting the law-abid-

ing, responsible citizen taxpayer.

The most recent develop-ments in this case seem to confi rm this.

Seems it is easier and certainly more expedient to go after the soft-target citizen versus the more diffi cult work of remov-ing real criminals from our midst.

Had the police not been called after the fi rst break-in, I could perhaps see the reasoning behind the charge against Mr. Schien-ke.

Unless there is informa-tion to the contrary, this is not the case; the police had been involved from the fi rst incident and had failed to protect the citizenry from a repeat offence by the same thieves; ergo, I must be responsible for my own protection and safety.

Nay, nay say the law to that.

It would just not do to have the citizens be self-reliant.

This clearly sanctifi es the notion in the minds of the criminal element that

you, me and your next door neighbour are there to be merely victimized, and at the end of the day the criminal justice system will not only fail to protect that same said citizen, rather it will choose prosecution should you defend yourself.

Mr. Schienke should be nominated for citizen of the year, while the crimi-nal justice system and the RCMP, in particular, should hang their collective heads in shame.

Food chain lawFrom: Teresa Binkle, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: Problem bear will be hunted, killed (The News, June 1).The perks of living in a rural area: amazing scenery, privacy, space and, of course, wildlife, which includes such predatory animals as bears, coyotes, and cougars. When I was a kid, I grew up on a farm. We had chickens, goats and a horse. We also unofficially had deer, cougars and bears. One day we came home from an outing to find our chickens all over the field, most of them mangled and dead. Most likely from a bear and its cubs. Our first thought was to put the remaining chickens out of their misery, then repair the damage to the coop. There was never a thought to go after the bears that caused this carnage. We knew it was part of living in the country. Bears will always be predators. It’s survival of the fittest. They’re just following the laws of the food chain. As humans, we need to learn to co-exist with wildlife. Why is it almost always decided to kill off our problems? If you look at the bigger picture, we have caused the prob-lems. We have taken away the animals natural habitats by pushing them out of their homes to build more of us. They are just trying to survive in an ever changing environment. People need to be more responsible to ensure we have these amazing animals for the future. Imagine a world where we have only pictures to show our future generations the bears of the world.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:There was a time back in

the 1980s and early 1990s when B.C. was a solid ex-porter of electricity.

Our dams could generate more than we could use, and exporting our surplus was very profi table for us. It brought big money into the province and helped pay

for health care, education and all sorts of other gov-ernment services we expect to have access to.

However, we haven’t built any dams since the mid-1980s and now we’re import-ing electricity.

Why have we stopped building dams and profi ting from the electricity resourc-

es we have, including new sources of electricity like wind energy, tidal power and run-of-the-river hydro?

It makes no sense to me that we are not availing our-selves of these exportable resources.

Health care and education aren’t getting any cheaper, and using our resources to

help pay for the government services we want and ex-pect makes complete sense to me.

We need to get back to being a solid electricity ex-porter rather than being the importers we’ve become. It just makes sense.

On the phone, it’s clear how much Chewy means to Bernie Watts.

Through sobs and paus-es she explains how the mutt has helped her and her husband get through the aftermath of deaths in the family and of how Chewy has helped the couple get out of the house and meet more people.

“He’s changed our lives so drastically,” she says.

But Chewy has grown too large for their town-house on Ford Road in Pitt Meadows.

The boxer-Boston terrier-bulldog-beagle-mix has outgrown the 35-centimetre limit al-lowed by the complex’s bylaw and, as a result, the strata council says the dog has to go.

“It’s been pretty bad,” she says.

Unfortunately for Ber-nie and her husband, Jordan Watts, Chewy followed the boxer side in his lineage and grew taller than the limit and has now reached a height of about 48 cm.

Watts got a letter

from the strata council in April, warning her that her dog was over height.

“Now, they’re threat-ening us with $600 fi nes a month. If we don’t [move], we have to get rid of him by June 30.”

Watts says Chewy’s appearance is drawing attention to him. While he won’t win any beau-ty contests, he’s friends with everyone. When a stranger enters the townhouse, he ambles down the stairs for a

sniff, then within mo-ments is lying down at the stranger’s feet.

When Jordan takes him for a walk, kids fl ock to him and recog-nize his amber-striped appearance. Chewy is gentle enough that Ber-nie even brings him to work.

Chewy (his full name is Chewbarka), was adopted late last year from a dog rescue soci-ety in Vancouver called Bully Buddies.

A Pitt Meadows farmer wants the city’s mayor to stop pushing for regula-tions that restrict the size and location of homes on farmland because its municipal council turfed similar rules two years ago.

Don MacDonald, who owns a farm on McQuar-rie Road, is tired of see-ing Mayor Don MacLean voice support for the reg-ulations, the latest plat-form being an article in the Western Producer.

“I know that council

is not in favour of it be-cause they are the ones that canned it before,” said MacDonald.

“I’m hoping they come out and say something.”

Metro Vancouver is asking the provincial agriculture ministry to introduce standard-ized rules to control the placement and size of the residential footprint of homes in the Agricultur-al Land Reserve (ALR).

While two cities – Delta and Richmond – have lo-cal bylaws that impose restrictions, opposition from property owners have prompted other councils such as Pitt

Meadows and Surrey to shelve similar efforts.

If the city-by-city patch-work of rules contin-ues, Metro offi cials say, people who want to build manor homes on farm-land will fl ock to cities without bylaws, or look further east in the Fraser Valley Regional District.

MacDonald wonders why Pitt Meadows’ may-or is sitting on an agri-cultural committee when he’s stated he won’t be seeking re-election this year.

“It bothers me big time because it’s an invasion of my liberty,” he said. “Somebody wants to

tell me where I build my house on my property, that really ticks me off.”

Although the mayor acknowledges his city rejected farm home plate regulations in 2009, he stresses he’s speaking as regional director rep-resenting Metro Van-couver, an organization comprised of 24 munici-pal authorities.

“I understand and ap-preciate that council doesn’t want to pass a bylaw and that’s fi ne,” said MacLean. “But it’s a regional issue. Every municipality that has substantial farm hold-ings has this problem. My council is fully aware that my comments were made as a member of [Metro Vancouver’s] ag-ricultural committee.”

City councillors, though, have voiced their frustration with the mayor’s support for the regulations.

Coun. Deb Walters, who’ll be seeking the mayor’s seat come No-vember, said she direct-ed staff in February to send a report to Metro Vancouver that outlines council’s concerns about the regulations. She hopes the province asks cities for their input be-fore moving ahead with

any changes.“We have to decided

what the defi nition of farming is. Once we have a concrete defi nition, we can decide if we need farm home plates,” said Walters, adding that Pitt Meadows already has bylaws that restrict the height, size and setbacks of homes on agricultural land.

“I think we do a good job managing it in Pitt Meadows.”

But Couns. John Beck-er and Doug Bing agree that regulations that gov-ern farmland should be set by the province.

“There are challenges to moving it forward at a local government level,” said Becker, noting he “still has the scars” for being the only council-lor who supported the farm home plate bylaw in 2009.

“It has to come prob-ably through the agricul-tural land commission.”

Bing, who’ll also be vy-ing for the mayor’s seat, thinks city-by-city rules make no sense.

“I believe there should be some restrictions,” said Bing. “But they need to come from the prov-ince.”

A 64-year-old man who bilked more than 40 people for almost a million dollars has been ar-rested by Ridge Meadows RCMP.

Douglas Archie Clark now faces 13 counts of fraud, but has been released on bail.

Police allege the Burnaby resident portrayed himself as a member of the Canadian mili-tary, often indicating he was either currently employed or retired from the navy.

Clark sometimes wore a mili-tary uniform as part of the ruse.

Ridge Meadows RCMP’s seri-ous crime unit began investi-gating Clark three and a half years ago and believe he has

defrauded more than 40 people for more than $900,000. Some complaints date back to the 1990s.

Insp. Dave Fleugel said Clark tells his victims he is sick with cancer and needs money for treatment that is not covered by his medical plan.

“A good portion of Clark’s victims are people he knows,” added Fleugel. “He has been very convincing in his scams and his victims honestly believe that he is employed or was em-ployed, with the military. We know this to be false and will present our case in court.”

Clark appeared in Port Co-quitlam Provincial Court on Thursday and was released on

$10,000 bail.He is not allowed to contact

any of his alleged victims, must remain in B.C., and not wear any military uniform, until court proceedings conclude.

Clark’s next court appear is in July.

Lottery tickets stolenCigarettes and a large amount

of lottery tickets were stolen ear-ly Thursday from a Maple Ridge store.

Police said a thief or thieves entered Triple A Market on Dew-dney Trunk Road by breaking open a front door around 4:45 a.m.

Nine-year-old Austin Ardron raised close to $2,000 for this year’s Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation Fund Run, in honour of his grandma.

Janet Ardron was a lab techni-cian at Ridge Meadows Hospital and participated in every Fund Run since it started. The lab tradi-tionally entered a team each year and always had fun with costumes, T-shirts and catchy team names.

However, Janet passed away suddenly in January from an un-diagnosed brain tumour.

For the past few years, Austin has participated in the Fund Run, for which his father, Jeff, is a ma-

jor sponsor. This year, in honour of his grandma, Austin deciding to collect pledges for the run, and brought in close to $2,000.

In all, the event raised close to

$30,000, which will go towards the hospital foundation’s commitment of $700,000 for essential health care equipment for the hospital, to fund programs in the community that encourage healthy living, and provide educational opportunities for medical staff.

More than 300 people, represent-ing more than 20 teams – and rep-resenting 30 departments at the hospital – took part in this year’s event, held Sunday at Fairview el-ementary.

John Graham of Maple Ridge won the 10 kilometre race.

Nathan Wadhwani of Maple Ridge won the 5 km race.

They didn’t want to wait until an off-the-shelf elec-

tric truck was available, so the District of Maple Ridge made its own – a non-polluting, zero-emis-sion, smooth-running model that uses the latest in lithium batteries and costs pennies per day to operate, no matter what the price of gasoline at the pump.

The idea came from an employee who re-searched the topic as he considered converting

the family vehicle from gasoline to electric.

But after crunching the numbers a bit at work, the public works depart-ment realized it might work for the municipal-ity as well and help in its goal of reducing its carbon footprint.

With the help of col-leagues at the public works yard, George Veltin took one of the fl eet’s older vehicles, a GM Sonoma truck and yanked out the V-6 mo-tor and transmission and installed 32, 200-amp Thundersky lithium-ion batteries. Those were hooked up to 96-volt,

three-phase motor and a new transmission. The project was started in December and by April the vehicle was running, thanks to a $13,000 con-version kit from Cana-dian Electric Vehicles on Vancouver Island, which supplied the components for the conversion.

Veltin credits the use of lighter, longer-lasting batteries for making the vehicle feasible.

“People have been dab-bling in electric vehicles for a long time.

“From what I can tell in my research, the lithium-ion batteries are what’s making them

shine these days.”Those batteries are

contained in three power units –one in the engine compartment and two beneath the deck – and only add 25 kilograms to the original vehicle weight, allowing the ve-hicle to remain service-able.

Maple Ridge’s fi nished product is a vehicle that drinks no gasoline and goes 100 kilometres per charge, which costs about $1.30. Top speed is 80 kilometres an hour.

Director of engineer-ing operations Russ Car-michael said, including staff time and the kit,

the total cost to convert the vehicle was about $30,000.

The district expects the vehicle to last six years. With gasoline at its cur-rent price, the district would pay about $6,000 a year to run the truck.

Over six years, that would add up to $36,000. Cost of electricity to re-charge the truck would be about $1,200 over that time period. After factoring in electricity costs, the district would still save about $4,800 compared to running a regular vehicle.

The nine Toyota Pri-uses and the 14 Ford

Escapes hybrids the dis-trict currently has are also far cheaper to main-tain because fl uids don’t have to be replaced.

Carmichael said the when it’s time to replace the Priuses, the district might convert those

hybrids to completely electric, rechargeable vehicles.

If another vehicle be-comes available, the district could repeat the project, with costs and research considerably reduced.

Maple Ridge makes its own electric truck

The couple had DNA tests done on the dog, con-fi rming the American bulldog component, though that’s not one of the three breeds of bull terriers that Wikipedia considers to be a pit bull.

“We feel we’re being targeted because Chewy looks like a pit bull even though he’s not.”

But she also questions the legality of the strata bylaw, pointing out it doesn’t spell out if the 35-cm height limit refers to fully grown dogs. She also won-ders about her two cats, Marlie and Buddy. The by-law says a family can have either two cats or a dog.

Bernie points out the strata council also forced an-other resident to get rid of a cat because it was roam-ing outside too often. “Their kids are devastated.”

While Chewy has helped out the couple, who say they’re getting counselling because of the stress about their dog, they’re also sticking with their four-legged friend. The couple is giving up their home rather than give up their dog and are moving. They don’t know where, yet.

“But we can’t do it in 30 days.”

A project by the Min-istry of Agriculture and Lands will allow farm-ers and city planners to learn exactly who is us-ing water and how and what amount can be used for other purposes.

It’s called a water de-mand model, has been completed in the Okana-gan and a similar proj-ect is about to start in the Lower Mainland, in a partnership between the ministry and Metro Vancouver.

“You can ask the da-tabase almost anything and get information back to you,” said Ted van der Gulik, senior engineer with the ministry.

Researchers are about to start collecting data by driving around and noting land uses, types

of crops grown and method of irrigation used in every parcel in the district.

The entire Lower Main-land will be catalogued over two years and it will take about a month to survey Maple Ridge, van der Gulik said.

Once completed, the Metro Vancouver Ag-ricultural Land Use In-ventory will show how much land is actively farmed and allow moni-toring of any changes in land use.

That then will lead to the Metro Vancouver Agricultural Water De-mand Model that can provide a scientifi c esti-mate of current and fu-ture water use.

A similar model is already in place in the Okanagan Basin, van der Gulik told Maple Ridge council. In the Okanagan, 70 per cent of the water supply is used by farmers.

“You don’t have to be much of a rocket sci-

entist to know we’re really going to have a water problem there.” The type of crop grown determines the water used. Alfalfa uses more water than grapes, he pointed out.

“Very quickly you have lots of information about water demand.”

Coun. Craig Speirs

said the project would be useful for Maple Ridge’s planning.

For Coun. Al Hogarth the quality of soil data remains a challenge and that better soil data is needed.

“I know certain plants will not survive on some of the soil con-ditions.”

Run offMore information is available at www.irrigationbc.com. Another website, www.waterbalance.ca, allows municipalities to analyze how well or not they are ensuring that runoff from buildings and roads fi lters into the ground rather than running into storm drains and streams.

You’ve got until July 4 to pay municipal taxes in Maple Ridge, and if you want you can do that in person between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or up until 8 p.m., every Thursday this month.

You can also use a drop box inside municipal hall and just leave your cheque there, along with a completed Home Own-er Grant application.

You can also mail in your property tax cheque, along with a completed Home Owner Grant application to: District of Maple Ridge, 11995 Haney Place, Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 6A9.

Keep in mind though, Canada Post employ-ees are in a position to go on strike and if your payment is late, a fi ve-per-cent penalty will be added to the outstanding taxes, with a further fi ve-per-cent penalty applied

at midnight Sept. 2.If neither works, you

can pay your taxes at your bank or credit union, either at the teller or online, or over the phone. Applying online for the Home Owner Grant will also ensure you don’t have to leave your home.

Probably the best way is to prepay your taxes throughout the year us-ing the pre-authorized withdrawal system. The system has been set up for homeowners who don’t pay their taxes with their mortgage and has the money withdrawn from your account in 10 equal payments.

People who are having tough times have two possible means of de-ferring their taxes, one open to homeowners 55 years and older and the other for families with children.

With a price tag of $10 million, excluding the cost of land acquisition, the proposed North Lougheed Connector is a thorough-fare the city doesn’t have the cash to pay for.

Smart!Centres owns or has the right to acquire the vast majority of land along the proposed connector.

The company suggests it could reach an agreement with city to set aside more than 17 acres of land for the road, or $4.5 million in infrastructure improvements, if it devel-ops all the land it owns.

AECOM, the consultant leading a review of the North Lougheed land, has outlined three options for development along the 50.9 hectares (125 acres), much of it agricul-tural.

Residents who attended an open house on the study overwhelmingly supported the fi rst choice, Option A, which sets aside

16 hectares (39.5 acres) for farming or other agricultural uses, like a land trust or food processing facility.

The second plan, Option B, sets aside 12 hectares (30 acres) for farming, while the third proposes developing the entire site.

The consultants believe only the third option would generate suffi cient funds to build the 3.6 kilometre North Lougheed Connector, which would stretch from Har-ris Road to Golden Ears Way.

Council has yet to receive the fi nal report from AECOM or pick a development option. The report is expected to be completed by mid-June.

In its letter, Smart!Centres urges council to “consider the value” of moving ahead with the third option.

Should council proceed with the other two options, wrote Sinclair, we would only be in a position to deliver a smaller portion of the connector road, which would not link

Harris Road to Golden Ears Way.Environmentalists, who strongly op-

posed development of the entire stretch and punching a road through prime farm-land, believes Smart!Centres’ letter puts unnecessary pressure on council to vote one way.

“It’s very pushy,” said Pitt Polder Preser-vation Society president Diana Williams.

“Who are they to be dictating policy to council? It makes you wonder who has got the most infl uence here – Smart!Centres or the community?”

‘Bylaw wasn’t enforced’Signs from front But he has yet to receive a reply.Briffet’s banner was up only four days a week,

until 5 p.m., and he’s willing to work out a com-promise.

“I’ve got no input from anybody,” he said. A quick survey Wednesday found half a

dozen banners that seemed to fl out the bylaw, one even outside another jewelry store further west along the highway.

Ineke Boekhorst of the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association said the association is working with the bylaws de-partment to come up with proposals for a new sign bylaw.

For instance, one clause now states that a store’s name cannot appear twice, that is on an awning and on a sign. “That’s exactly what we’re working on.”

“The bylaw has always been in place, it just has not been enforced to the letter. That’s a dif-fi cult thing if it hasn’t been enforced for some time.”

She’s noticed a reduction in the number of banners outside businesses and says the bylaw is being enforced throughout the district.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said the bylaw is being enforced throughout the dis-trict. The Haney Hotel and the Buffalo Club Bar and Grill both had to remove signs, he pointed out.

“My understanding is we’re working on them altogether. There are other folks that have been asked. All we’re doing is enforcing the bylaw that’s in place.”

But he said council was also expecting to hear back from the review of the sign bylaw, which also should look at rules around side-walk sandwich boards.

Only Concept C would pay for the road.

businessbusiness PROFILEPROFILE

For Urban Lumberjack owner Scott McConkey, the keys to the tree-care business are knowledge and planning.

McConkey said the easy approach is to just haphazardly cut down trees, but the more sensible long-term plan is to carefully assess the trees you have and what care they need.

“We prefer to educate our clients on proper tree care,” he said. “It takes a skilled individual to come in, assess and see what’s best for the trees and for the client.”

McConkey is certified as both an Arborist and a Hazard Tree Assessor by the International Society of Arboriculture. He said that training has taught him about the uniqueness of trees, which is crucial, as every species has its own needs and issues.

“Every tree species is different,” he said. “You’ve got your strong species, your weak species, your short-lived species and your long-lived species ... The care trees need differs from tree to tree.”

Instead of seeing trees as something to be chopped whenever possible, McConkey said the company’s approach is to preserve as many as it can.

“That is integral to preserving our urban forest,” he said. “As awareness of the importance of trees to the environment rises, it becomes more important to keep them there.”

In many cases, timely and knowledgeable care can prevent trees from causing issues for homeowners. Urban Lumberjack and its six-man staff offer everything from pruning services to crown restorations to removal and replanting.

McConkey said taking care of existing trees is important, as they’re not immediately replaceable.

“Trees are an asset to your property,” he said. “You can’t go down to Home Depot and buy a 60-foot tree.”

When trees are posing safety risks or encroaching on buildings, though, McConkey said Urban Lumberjack’s personnel are able to come in, quickly remove a troublesome tree and replace it with a new tree better-suited to the specific environment.

“We also offer tree removal of all sizes,” McConkey said. “We come in, remove your tree, grind the stump and replace it, often in the same day.”

McConkey said his training allows him to pick out new trees that will fit each individual situation and won’t cause further problems for homeowners in

the future. That’s not particularly easy, considering the vast variety of tree species out there and the amount of different issues trees can cause.

“You’ve got to think about what tree is right for that specific location,” he said. “Each tree has a genetic program it follows that decides how tall it will grow and how big the root and crown structure will be. It helps to be fluent with all the different species so you can recommend a tree that’s right for someone. If you plant the right tree in the first place, you don’t have to spend more money down the road”

Proper pruning can also avoid further issues down the road, and that can save homeowners a lot of money. “Locally we see a lot of bad tree pruning and topping practices” McConkey said. “Reducing large trees down to stubs will only temporarily solve your tree problem, however, the end result is usually a tree that decays quickly, needs more frequent pruning and eventually will become hazardous and need to be removed.”

McConkey primarily focuses on growing his business through word of mouth. Urban Lumberjack gets a substantial number of new customers through referrals, and McConkey said that’s a reflection of the quality of work done.

He said the small-town feel of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows area makes keeping customers happy particularly important.

“When we get work done, it’s done right,” he said. “It’s nice to see someone around town and wave.”

For McConkey, tree care was a natural career path to follow. He started Urban Lumberjack in 2001, but that’s far from his family’s first involvement in the business.

“My great-grandfather started logging in about 1910,” he said. “Naturally, my grandfather followed suit. In 1967, my dad started his own tree-care business ... We call it a family tree-dition.”

For Denise Hagan, every note is heal-ing.

The vibrations that roll from her lips or guitar touch souls, change moods and sometimes bring people to tears.

“I’ve had an amazing life. It’s not always been easy, but it’s been an amazing one. If something I say can inspire someone, then it’s worth it,” says Hagan, who has twice survived bouts with a life-threatening ill-ness.

Born and raised in a musical family in Ireland, Hagan uses her music as an op-portunity to weave the bardic art of story through song.

She bills her concerts as an evening of in-spirational story and song, events where, perhaps, as a listener you’ll walk away with the urge to look inside.

For Hagan, music is more than just per-forming, stardom or making a ton of mon-ey.

In fact, she steered herself away from suc-cess in the musical world soon after Univer-sal Music Ireland released her fi rst album in 2004.

Back then, she opened for country super star Shania Twain, touring Ireland and was on the cusp of commercial triumph.

Hagan moved to B.C. in 2009.“God gave me this gift. It’s not mine to

waste on pop songs. I feel very divinely

guided,” says Hagan, who just released her fourth album, Numinous – A Soundscape for the Soul.

“I feel like the depth of the healing I can bring to people through this music just

blows other things out of the water.”Compared to her previous three releases,

Numinous is an album to meditate to, an opus fi lled with angelic strains that can soothe a troubled soul and heal a broken heart.

It builds on the techniques Hagan learned while studying “sound healing” in England, a therapy that uses vibrational sound to treat both mental and physical ailments.

A ceramic teapot by Port Moody artist Clive Tucker.

Teapots Top-Up with artist Clive Tucker

Learn the art of making a tea pot with ceramics artist Clive Tucker during a special two-session clinic at the ACT.

Though Tucker makes “regular” teapots, he has become known for his extraordinary teapots and cups.

It all began when he bought a box of commercial moulds, which

he reworked and juxtaposed with the classically thrown teapots and cups.

Primarily, Tucker uses the moulds to form the bases for his cups and teapots, though they can also func-tion as knobs and handles.

Most of the thrown pots come to a point and cannot stand on their own so a symbiotic relationship is formed between pot and base. While he still works with moulds, Tucker’s work has evolved, and he

often hand builds or throws bases for a more organic feel.

Clay suitable for the ACT’s kiln will be provided at the workshop and teapots will be bisque fi red only.

• The workshops take place Sun-day, June 12 and Sunday, June 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The work-shops costs $93 including HST for both sessions, including supplies. For more information, call Barbara Duncan at 604-476-4240.

With summer holidays on the horizon and people turning their thoughts to fun and a little R&R, Gallery 7 Theatre hopes The Match-maker can satisfy some of those long-awaited summer delights.

Written by Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker is a farce with real heart.

Horace Vandergelder, a shrewd and wealthy merchant, has decided to get married.

Securing the services of a match-maker, Vandergelder entrusts his

Yonkers shop to the care of his clerks while he heads to New York City in search of love. Tired of their

mundane lives and longing for ro-mance, the clerks close up shop and embark on their own adven-ture to the city.

Things really get complicated when they nearly run head-long in to their blustery boss in the city streets.

A series of hilarious episodes of hide-and-seek ensue in this adven-ture that inspired the smash-hit Broadway musical Hello Dolly!

Maple Ridge resident Annette Reilly returns to direct The Match-maker, having directed last sea-son’s run-away hit Pride & Preju-dice.

“The Matchmaker brings up

some very important questions for our lives,” says Reilly. “Should we drown ourselves in the pursuit of money? Should we obsess over finding love? Should we shut our-selves in and never participate in life or should we throw ourselves into every adventure imaginable? This play teaches us balance.”

• The Matchmaker plays June 10, 11, 16 – 18, 23 - 25 at 7:30 p.m., with additional discounted matinees on June 11 and 18 at 2 p.m. at the MEI Auditorium, 4081 Clearbrook Road, Abbotsford. Tickets are available at House of James, 2743 Emerson Street in Abbotsford or call 1-800-665-8828.

Dig into a bucket of popcorn and fi nd out how Cuba survived peak oil at a Cinema Politica screening next week.

When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba’s economy went into a tailspin.

With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate.

The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people. They share how they transitioned from highly mechanized agriculture to using organic farming and urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis. The fi lm opens with a short history of peak oil, a term for the time when world oil pro-duction will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis, is an example of options and hope.

Cinema Politica movies are fol-lowed by discussions

“It’s a great way to get involved in

the community, and to learn things you wouldn’t hear about from the regular media,” environmentalist Jack Emberly.

“I was in Cuba a few years ago and saw how people can adapt and re-main self reliant even without access to reliable supplies of gas and oil. Cu-bans don’t have the luxuries we do, but they know how to pull together and focus on what’s important in life – community building and families.”

• The Power of Community-How Cuba Survived Peak Oil plays in the District of Maple Ridge council cham-bers on Thursday, June 16. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The documentary begins at 7 p.m.

Hagan plays June 18

She says the album grew out of a simple melody, “a scared mel-ody, kind of like man-tra.”

“Numinous is not real-ly my composition. It is what I heard in the an-

gelic realms, the dream time,” says Hagan.

“That’s what inspired that. I am strong enough to reveal my inner world and I want to help other people fi nd the cour-age to do the same. It is where all the answers

are.”• Denise Hagan plays

St. Andrew’s Heritage Hall, 22289 116th Ave (just off the Haney By-pass) in Maple Ridge on Saturday, June 18 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door.

STAVE FALLS / HAYWARD LAKE NOTICES

2835

ONE LANE ROAD CLOSURE—DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD

June 13–July 22, 2011 Monday–Friday, 24 hours

Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project and Completion of Gantry Crane Installation

The Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project has begun. The project involves the replacement of the four existing radial spillway gates and the existing radial gate hoists. To operate the gates, BC Hydro installed a new crane in 2010. This crane is required to lift and lower the gates and is moved into position on a rail that is embedded in the roadway. BC Hydro will be replacing these rails starting mid-June, 2011. A one lane closure of Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is required to complete this work. Priority access will be given to emergency vehicles and the school bus.

Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (10–15 minutes) or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will be required four times during the two-year project.

Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro will re-open road and pedestrian access over the dam when construction schedules allow (e.g. primarily evenings and weekends).

HAYWARD LAKE RESERVOIR LOWER WATER LEVELS AND HAYWARD STREET ROAD CLOSURE

Reservoir Drawdown: May 24–June 24 Road Closure: May 30–June 24

Starting May 24, 2011 the Hayward Lake reservoir water level will be lowered to accommodate annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. Lowering of the reservoir will begin on Tuesday, May 24 to reach the elevation of approximately 34.5 metres in four days. Hayward Street over Ruskin Dam will also be closed Monday to Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. from May 30 to June 24.

Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopes along Hayward Beach and the entire reservoir shore. The beach can be used with caution, but the water will not be accessible. The Hayward boat launch and dog beach will be closed. The picnic grounds will remain open and available for public use. Trails will remain open; however hikers will be unable to complete the Railway/Reservoir Trail loop due to the closure of both Ruskin Dam and the Floating Bridge at Hairsine Creek.

An environmental management plan has been developed to protect fish and wildlife during the lower water levels.

The water will begin rising again on Friday, June 24, 2011. Normal operating levels will return well before Canada Day, July 1.

For more information on these projects, visit bchydro.com or email [email protected].

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Boston Bruins team president Cam Neely (left) and team owner Jeremy Jacobs watch the Bruins in action last season.

The Maple Ridge Bur-rards had a weekend they’d just as soon for-get after dropping two straight road games to the New Westminster Salmonbellies and the Nanaimo Timbermen.

The Burrards fall to 2-3 with the pair of losses, and are tied with the Burnaby Lakers for fourth place in the West-ern Lacrosse Association standings. The Salmo-nbellies avenged their 9-7 loss to the Burrards on Thursday with a con-vincing 14-4 thrashing on the road at Queen’s Park Arena. Joel Dal-garno got the Burrards on the board a minute into the game, a lead the team would hold until late in the fi rst period when the ‘Bellies man-aged to score four goals on Burrards netminder Ron Schibild in the span of four minutes.

New West stretched their lead to 6-1 in the second period before Dalgarno could muster another goal for Maple Ridge. A comeback was not in the offi ng, however, as New West-minster continued to pelt Schibild in net with another pair of goals before the middle frame was through. With the score 8-2 going into the third, the Salmonnbel-lies so no signs of letting up as they scored four goals on Schibild before chasing him from the net at the midway mark of the period.

It’s been 21 years since Maple Ridge’s Cam Neely was in a Stanley Cup final, but even though he’s now wearing a suit instead of a uniform for the Boston Bruins, he is happy for an-other opportunity to win the Holy Grail of hockey.

“Obviously it’s different from being a player, but it’s exciting being back,” says Neely. “This is the ultimate goal, this what every hock-ey player wants.”

Neely was last in the Stan-ley Cup finals in 1990, when the Bruins were ousted by the Gretzky-less Edmonton Oilers in five games. To-day, Neely sits at the helm of the Bruins organization as team president.

But there was a time for Neely when a return to the Stanley Cup final as any-thing other than a specta-tor was the furthest thing

from his mind.After Neely left the game

he loved in 1996, after 13 injury-plauged years in the NHL, he says he tried his best to leave the world of hockey behind.

“I didn’t give hockey much thought after I left,” he says. “It was hard, I felt like I could still play, but my body wasn’t up to it.”

Neely averaged nearly a point per game in his final season of play, but injuries to his knees and hips left him in constant pain while on the ice.

Monday was the 25th

anniversary of the trade that sent Neely from the Vancouver Canucks to the Boston Bruins, considered one of the most regrettable trades in Vancouver hock-ey history.

It was also Neely’s 46th birthday, one that he hopes he will be able to celebrate with a win tonight in Game 4 of the best-of-seven se-ries.

While many Maple Ridge residents will be hoping his team posts their third loss of the series, Neely ad-mires their passion for the Canucks.

“I grew up in Maple Ridge, so I know how exciting it is for fans in B.C. to get to the finals,” he said.

Neely’s two sisters still live in Maple Ridge; he visited them during his re-cent stop in Vancouver for Games 1 and 2.

“So far it’s been a suc-cessful postseason,” said Neely. “We had a couple years where we didn’t get past the second round, so to get past that is big for us.

“But the ultimate goal is the cup, and that’s what we’re focussed on.”

Neely happy to be back in Cup huntAfter 21 years, local Hall-of-Famer is back in the Stanley Cup Finals

The Pitt Meadows Marauders senior girls’ soccer team finished eighth at the B.C. AA provincials last weekend in Burn-aby, going 2-3 at the tournament.

The team played hard during the tour-nament and finished in the top half of the draw thanks to a pair of shut-out wins to

open the tournament. On Thursday, the

Marauders downed Notre Dame 3-0 and Valleyview 5-0.

But Friday the team had a much tougher time against a strong side from Saint Thom-as More, losing 3-1.

Later in the day, the Marauders faced Sur-rey Christian, and al-though the two teams matched up well, Pitt was not able to ex-ecute and suffered an-other 3-1 loss.

Saturday saw the Marauders lose 2-1 on penalty kicks to St. Michael’s Univer-sity School to finish in eighth spot.

It was the second year in a row the Ma-rauders qualified for the provincials, after finishing seventh last season. Burnsview secondary won the tournament for the second year in a row.

Nikki Stanley was named one of the tournament’s MVPs as a Commissioner’s Eleven Award winner.

Coach Mike Oldridge said he was proud of the team’s efforts this season.

“The girls repre-sented well,” he said. “[They were] unde-feated in league play, won the Summerland tournament, second in the Fraser Valleys.

“I am proud of what they accomplished.”

Grade 12 players Nikki Stanley, Becky Jenkins, Melanie Manson, Lindsay Mac-dermid, Chanel Naick-er, Linnea Foster, and Melissa Knebelow will

be moving on, but Ol-dridge said he hopes to qualify for provin-cials again next year.

“Looking ahead, with plenty of talent among the Grade 11s, we have a decent op-portunity to return to the provincials next year,” he said.

The outgoing class of Grade 12s has had five years of success at the school, winning the Fraser Valley fi-nals in Grade 8, finish-ing third in Grade 9 as juniors, and second in Grade 10, all under the direction of coach Neil Macdermid, who as been the assistant for the senior team the past two years.

The Pitt Meadows Marauders senior girls’ soccer team is made up of Stanley, Manson, Macdermid, Jenkins, Naiker, Fos-ter, Knebelow, Briana Morrison, Lexi Turn-er, Amanda Ward, Kelsey Acaster, Nicole Foster, Tam Reiss, Steph Patricelli, Emily Gresham, Alysha Ras-mussen, Alex Lewis, and Payge Pena.

The Burrards put forth a much better effort Sunday in Nanaimo, however the result was the same.

Nanaimo struck fi rst with a pair of goals for an early lead, but the Burrards answered back to tie things up by the 15th minute of the fi rst period thanks to a pair of goals by Curtis Dickson. The teams traded goals once more

and early in the second Kevin Reid gave the Burrards their fi rst lead of the game.

It would be short-lived however, as the Timbermen tallied three goals to take a 6-4 lead.

Dalgarno, Riley Loewen, and Dayne Michaud each scored for the Burrards to restore their one-goal lead, but Matt McLeod of the Timbermen scored his fourth goal

of the night in the fi nal second of the period to tie things up once more.

Nanaimo took an 8-7 lead early in the third and were able to hold on for the win, shutting out Maple Ridge scorers in the fi nal frame.

The Burrards next home game is this Sunday against the Lang-ley Thunder at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge. Game time is at 6:45 p.m.

Burrards fall 8-7 to Nanaimo Timbermen

Midget Burrards keep streak alive

The midget A1 Ridge Meadows Burrards kept their win streak alive as they downed the visiting Langley Thunder by a score of 10-4 Monday night, after blanking New Westminster at home 5-0 on Saturday.

The Ridge Meadows junior girls were not so lucky, however, as they fell 8-1 to the New West-minster Salmonbellies Saturday afternoon at the Dorothy Rob-ertson Tournament at Queen’s Park Arena. The peewee A2 Burrards beat the Delta Island-ers 9-2 on the road. Scoring for the Burrards was Justin Cloete with four goals, Dylan McCor-mick with three goals, and Ethan Chung and Domonic Forrer with a single goal each. The peewee B Burrards beat North Shore 5-2 on Friday. Cole McKee, Levi Spen-cer-Fell, and James Kitsch were named mini-tyke MVPs.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income under $40,000.

October 27, 1936 - June 1, 2011: Our beloved Rita slipped peacefully away after a 5 week struggle that she faced with grace and strength, much as she did in life.Mother to Diane (Grant), Tom and Michael, Grandmother to Reanne and Carly, Aunt to Diana and Ryan, friend of many.We know that nothing will ever fill the void that her passing leaves in our lives… see, she was our “Go to Girl”, our endless source of outstretched arms of Love in ANY situation... she told it like it was but with such grace and style, never an “I told you so” in all the years we were blessed to know her.. she never told you more than she thought you could handle and was the closest anyone could have ever met, to real and honest unconditional Love……she was our Matriarch, our glue, our hostess, our counsellor, our Love…Bless you Rita, for the Love, the Grace, the compassion and for being

exactly who you were.Until we can see that smile and feel your touch

again, we will carry you in our hearts and live the lessons you taught.

RITA ANN CONROY(nee Nesbitt)
