Labour dispute

Students walkout of classesStory and photo by Maria [email protected]

More than 100 secondary students in the MapleRidge and Pitt Meadows school district left theirclasses Wednesday morning to express frustration atthe ongoing labour strife between the B.C. Teachers’Federation and the provincial government.

Teachers from the local school district have alreadybeen on strike for two days.

Clara Fawcett was at the district office with hertwo daughters and nephew. She said the governmentshould understand it’s the students who are beingaffected by the ongoing job action by teachers.

“It hurts them every time they lose a day ofschool,” she insisted.

Her daughter Katelyn Fawcett wished the two sideswould stop arguing and come to an agreement.

Maple Ridge Secondary Grade 9 student BenWilliamson was one of the students who left schoolto join the student protest Wednesday.

“To both of the parties, just figure it out,” he said.Negotiations are continuing between the union and

the employers’ agency, with the BCTF lowering itssalary demands by one per cent.

So far, teachers have been locked out during recessand lunch and 45 minutes before and after school.On Wednesday, the Labour Relations Board ruled thislockout and a 10 per cent wage cut were legal.

BCTF have since announced teachers will continuerotating strikes, and will vote early next week ifthey’re going to escalate job action to a full strike.• Stay tuned to www.mrtimes.com for details as they come available

The historic Beeton Residence inMaple Ridge has been preservedand revitalized.by Maria [email protected]

A heritage farmhouse in down-town Maple Ridge was hoisted onbeams and was being prepared to beturned on Wednesday after extensiverenovation to restore its heritagelook.

The house at Dewdney TrunkRoad and York Street is knownas the Beeton Residence, built byJoseph Beeton in 1911.

Bruce Alway has owned the housefor about 10 years, and a few yearsago he applied to have a heritagerevitalization agreement for theproperty.

The house will be converted intotwo units, and then a similar-styledbuilding will be constructed next toit, making a strata with four town-

house units.“I think it’ll be neat for people

buying into it – it has a lot of oldelements,” Alway said.

Alway kept some of the old,wooden floors, the original radiators,and the old stairway. The house alsofeatures high ceilings.

Alway also had to restore the oldexterior wooden siding – the original

exterior had been replaced withvinyl siding – as well as the trim.

According to the heritage revital-ization agreement, as many herit-age components as possible had tobe kept in the house, the builderexplained.

After a career in pile driving,Alway has been working on herit-age renovation projects in the LowerMainland.

The former Maple Ridge residentsaid he prefers to see somethingunique constructed, rather than justa generic three-storey apartmentbuilding.

“It saves someone from knockingit down and building more of thoseboxes,” Alway said of the historicBeeton Residence.

It also adds monetary value to theproperty, Alway said, adding threemore residences onto the property.

The building was originally a farm-house on the land which was then apoultry and dairy farm.

The house was later owned by theDaykin family.

Backcountry blissHorseman shared their passion for everything equineduring a three-day festival in Maple Ridge this weekend.by Eric [email protected]

It took a year-and-a-half to plan, butthe hard work paid off this past weekendwhen the Backcountry Horsemen of B.C.(BCHBC) Rendevous 2014 came to MapleRidge.

“Generally speaking, the event was an overwhelming success inall areas,” said Peter Thiessen, chairperson of the event.

“Normally our membership attendance is around 175 to 200members, but this year we had in excess of 400 members.”

Though the event is a tradition for the 700-member province-wide club, this year’s event featured a few firsts.

For example, Thiessen explained that this year was the first timelive entertainment – in the form of country singer Aaron Pritchettand country music duo One More Girl – was part of the dance.

My GreatGlasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need anappointment for my eye test and I got three pairsof glasses for less than I paid for one pair at myregular optical store. I couldn’t believe how greatthe deal was and how accommodating the staffwere to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere butGreat Glasses in the future.

A major sponsor is still needed fora second stage at the June 14bandstand birthday bash.by Maria [email protected]

It started with just a lone piccolo play-ing at the Haney Farmers Market at noonon Saturday.

Then, one by one, members of theMaple Ridge Concert Band descended onthe market and eventually 35 membersplayed Colonel Bogey March.

“It went fabulous – we had a greattime,” said Gale Yip, spokesperson forthe non-profit band. “It was very wellreceived.”

The audience was so taken with themusic, they cheered and asked for more,Yip elaborated.

But the concert band flash mob was atthe market just giving a sneak peak of theupcoming Envision Bandstand BirthdayBash, being planned for June 14 from 9a.m. to 9 p.m.

The bandstand is 20 years old this year,and the Maple Ridge Concert Band hastaken the lead on raising money to refur-bish the bandstand and to organize thebirthday party.

Because there were so many perform-ers wanting to take part, the concertband decided to add an extra stage to theparty. But, it would help if they had asponsor for this second stage, Yip said.

Anyone who can help out is asked tocontact Yip at [email protected].

Many of us have had thechickenpox. For you, it may bea distant, vague memory of anunpleasant, itchy period whenyou had to stay home fromschool and were too sick to evenenjoy it properly.

For me, it was a time when Ihad to explain to everyone that,yes, 29-year-olds can get thechickenpox, if they haven’t everhad it before.

Not so long ago, I was hav-ing a bad week. I was feelinglogy and getting this brutal fever that spiked andebbed like tides in the Bay of Fundy. I was hav-ing night sweats so severe that I woke up andhad to change all my clothes and drink half agallon of water to avoid dehydration. And then Igot the little blisters, and the other shoe dropped.

I missed nine days of work. I lost a couple ofpounds. I was covered in disgusting pustules.

I didn’t get itchy, but I spent the first few daysof the disease in a blurry fog of anti-virals, over-the-counter medications, and cheesy sciencefiction movies. (Watching Battle for Endor whileenduring a high fever is not recommended. Ithought an ewok tried to eat my face.)

Of course, if I’d been vaccinated, it would havebeen staggeringly unlikely that I’d have had toendure this nasty little break from work. Butback in the 1980s, the vaccine wasn’t part of theregime we were all given.

Now it’s freely available, and trust me, if youhaven’t had chickenpox, GO OUT AND GET IT,NOW!

We did get vaccinated against a number ofother things, starting from pediatric shots upthrough secondary school, and I had a boostershot a few years back before I visited a camp forchildren in cancer treatment.

So I’ve never had any of the following:mumps, measles, rubella, pertussis, or diptheria.

I think that’s probably for the best. I’m a wimpwhen I’m sick with a cold, I don’t need a much

more serious, or even potentiallylife-threatening disease.

And yet there are people outthere, thousands of them, whonow refuse to vaccinate their chil-dren, because of baseless fearsstoked by celebrities. No mat-ter how much evidence piles upthat mercury in vaccines didn’tcause autism, or that vaccinesare broadly safe and with a min-iscule number of bad reactions,it’s impossible to convince somepeople.

Most of these people refusing vaccinations didget shots themselves when they were young.So they don’t remember being very sick as chil-dren. They don’t remember measles epidemics,or whooping cough that killed children in everycommunity. They don’t remember polio – a dis-ease that was almost wiped out worldwide untilparanoia about vaccines led to new outbreaksthat will leave people disabled for life, or dead.They don’t know that our lack of smallpox vac-cination scars is a tribute to the eradication of adeadly disease.

It’s said that journalism is about presentingboth sides of an issue, but that’s only true if bothsides can present some kind of evidence. All theevidence in the vaccine debate is one-sided. It’sreams of studies, properly documented, versus agroup of people who keep moving the goal postsand stoking utterly groundless fears.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a man withwhom I thought I shared no opinions whatso-ever, is bang on about vaccines.

“It’s hard for me not to get very emotionalabout this, because we know, scientificallyknow, what vaccinations and immunizationshave done for us, personally, in our generationand for generations after us,” he recently said. “Ifrankly don’t understand people who are walk-ing away, in our society, from something that’sproven to work.”

Well said.

Value lost indrug’s victims

We’ve all long known of heroin andmorphine, and more recently, oxy-codone has joined the list of familiaropiates whose addictive effects help todestroy lives. Perhaps a little less famil-iar is the synthetic opiate fentanyl.

But get used to hearing about it.Fentanyl is killing people, and it’s

killing them right next door to you.The BC Coroners Service has issued a

special warning that the drug is causingfatalities, particularly in communitiescovered by the Fraser Health Authority,and Maple Ridge was among thosesingled out for special notice.

The coroner reported that there havebeen 13 deaths attributable to fentanylin the region in just the first fourmonths of 2014.

That compares to 12 fentanyl-relateddeaths in all of 2013, and six in 2012.

Regional coroner Liana Wright isconcerned that there likely have beenmore deaths in May. Of course, shecan’t project such numbers into Juneand further… but there appears to be atrend. And it’s nothing short of ugly.

Apparently, fentanyl is often takenin conjunction with some of the otheropiates, but no traces of heroin or oxy-codone have shown up in the recentvictims’s bodies.

The coroner suggests that the usershad been led to believe that they werebuying something other than fentanyl.

It’s easy to shrug it all off – they’reare “just a bunch of druggies” after all,and why should we bother with them?

First is the reality that “recreational”users, and not just hard-core addicts areamong the victims – they could be yoursons and daughters.

More importantly, every humanbeing has value. Everyone counts. It’stime we take greater note of that value,in the context of society as a whole,and not just in the context of thosewho have escaped the pitfalls that bringdown so many among us.

Dear Editor,I would like to thank Maple Ridge

council for righting a wrong to theusers of Volker Dog Park and post-poning the shutdown before optionscan be explored, with the obviousexception of Councillors Al Hogarthand Michael Morden, who acted likea couple of spoiled brats becausethey didn’t get their way.

After the May 27 council meeting, it isquite easy to see how situations like thisfiasco transpire, with Coun. Hogarth’sapparent contempt for democracy and dueprocess, and of course, the help of his hand-puppet sidekick Coun. Morden.

The one lesson we should all learn fromthis distressing exercise is to not give in tobullies or psychos, whether they are sittingacross from you at a council meeting orthrowing rocks through your windows oregging your house, or even trying to kill ormaim your furry family members.

The users of dog parks should not haveto do walk around looking for poisonkibble, glass, tacks, or fishhooks, and haveto change the water in the dish and thenworry and hope you did not miss anything– every time you go to the park.

To ensure this is not a hollow victory, weneed to change the laws and put some teethin the animal cruelty laws, and make thepoisoning and maiming and other crueltydone to animals a felony, and put a few ofthese monsters in jail as a warning to others

who commit these heinous acts withimpunity. Even if they get caught,it is a misdemeanour, no big deal,no real consequences. It is, after all,not a victimless crime.

Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

Dog parks waste moneyDear Editor,

Close all dog parks. What a waste of timeand energy and money for all involved.

I have a dog and walk him – yes, walkhim, not stand around and watch him playwith other dogs. Been there, done that.

Yes, dogs need time to play with otherdogs, but this has got out of hand: way toomuch emotion. They are dogs, and that’s it.

If there are to be dog parks, don’t havethem close to any homes. Put them wherepeople have to walk to, like the industrialpark or the dike area (Jerry Sulina Park, forinstance).

It’s said if your dog’s fat, you don’t walkenough.

DizzybillyteesDear Editor,

Like many people on disability, I havereceived from Mr. David Galbraith,Assistant Deputy Minister, RegionalService Division of the Ministry of SocialDevelopment, a letter inviting me to com-plete an online survey about their services.All completely anonymously, of course.

(Psst, wanna buy a bridge?)I had almost finished folding the letter

into a nifty paper airplane when I had abetter idea. I wrote Mr. Galbraith a poem.As you read, hum the theme song from TheBeverly Hillbillies.

Come and listen to my story ’bout a gal named Red,A poor Pitt woman – pains keep her in her bed.Then one day as she tried to eat some food,Right through the door comes a letter that is crude...

Bad girl! Cut off! Said the Mineh?stree.Well, the first thing you know, ol’ Red it seems is fixed.Surgery went well (huh?!), and now the money’s nixed.Kinfolk said, “Red, there are no scars on thee!”Said, “A worker is the one you really need to see!”

In Maple Ridge, that is. Long lines, no loos.It was a mistake, they said, and sent her back on home.“Get well soon!” they cried, and, “If you need us, phone!”Laughing as she went, Red climbed back into her bed.Next thing you know the phone is ringin’ by her head...

Bad Girl. Cut off. Said the Mineh?stree.Seems they have found that Red is “harbouring” a man.Now that’s the kind of thing that they absolutely ban.There IS no he, or him, Red huffed, just stating simply that.

You can come and check, ya want, unless you meant the cat.All went well then, for another month or so,Till Red, checking her account, found nothing but… zero.“We don’t have your stuff!” they said, sniffily all haughty.“I sent it twice!” wailed Red, “and I have not been naughty!”

Bad Girl. Cut off. Said the Mineh?stree.This is how things go, you see, from week to month to years,No matter what you say or do, it falls on deafened ears.Kinfolk said: “What on earth is all this fuss?!”Said, “Git yer stuff together, we’ll all go on the bus!”

To Maple Ridge, that is. Long lines, no loos.Off they all went, all valiant kinda like,Holding hands-in-hand and traipsing all across the land.Gave them what they wanted, who turned around and said,

“Oh look, you sent it twice, I see. Ha! We filed it under zed.”Well, now it’s time to say goodbye to Red and all her kinAnd they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin’ in.Yer all invited back again to this insaniteee,For eight more stanzas if you want, of our hospitality.

On ‘Dizzybillytee,’ that is.Set a spell.Take your shoes off.Ya’ll come back now, y’hear?

Ms. D. Smith, Pitt Meadows

Smart meters

Regarding Mr. Felgnar’s question aboutsmart meters [What benefit gained fromkilling customers?, May 13 Letters, TIMES],what benefit is gained from tobacco com-panies killing customers with their ciga-rettes?

What benefit is gained from killing peoplewho purchased a General Motors car with adefective ignition switch that the companyknew about but did not notify them?

The answer: Money!In each case, it is cheaper to pay out the

lawsuits from customers or their familiesfor injuries or death than to have admittedtheir product is dangerous, or to have madetheir product safer.

Taking part in thecentennial year’s PittMeadows Day celebra-tions will be the province’slieutenant-governor, JudithGuichon, who will be inthe parade judges’ tentand at the opening cere-monies.

Because of the centen-nial year, all the exhibitorson the field at Harris RoadPark have been asked toweave in something thatreflects the heritage ofthe City, explained PittMeadows Day Society’spresident Rick Higgs.

There will be floats,bands, walking groups,and other communitygroups marching alongHarris Road.

“It will be a fun paradeas it typically is,” Higgssaid.

But Higgs cau-tioned that forsafety, anyone atthe front of theparade shouldstay seatedduring as theparade goes by, addingthis is the key messagefor parents, grandparents,older siblings, and auntsand uncles.

“Make sure bums stayon the curb,” he said.

The parade begins onBlakely Street and con-tinues west on HammondRoad, and then turns northon Harris Road and goes

Social media

Mounties will be tweeting

A new royal party will be unveiled atSaturday’s opening ceremonies.Story and photo by Eric [email protected]

At first, Amneet Basra didn’tbelieve the news.

Amneet was chosen as thisyear’s Miss Pitt Meadows,but was skeptical when shefirst found out.

After receiving a phonecall, her dad approached herand addressed her as MissPitt Meadows.

“I was like, ‘nice jokedad,’” she said.

Amneet said her dadexplained the phone call was infact real and “after about five min-utes, I started believing him.”

Her name chosen out of a hat – alongwith the members of the Royal Party– the 12-year-old Grade 6 student atPitt Meadows Elementary said that withthis title, she is excited to represent PittMeadows during the upcoming year.

And it’s things like “the scenery, thebackgrounds, the farms, and the people”

that Amneet said she loves the mostabout her community.

Looking ahead to her duties, shesaid she’s really looking forward to

Canada Day celebrations, and get-ting to “light the big tree” at

Christmas.She said she’s both nerv-

ous and comfortable aboutwhat’s ahead, and thoughthere’s always something todo, Amneet doesn’t feel thatshe’s “too busy.”

Tasked with writinga speech, Amneet saidshe’ll talk about how PittMeadows has changed overthe last 100 years, about her-

self and her family, about PittMeadows, and all the things

she loves about it.“We’re honoured to have

Amneet as our daughter,” said herdad Sarbjeet. “She’s smart, caring, andloves to learn.”

The first Miss Pitt Meadows was namedin 1938 and the tradition has continuedever since.

Amneet will officially be crowned MissPitt Meadows during the opening cere-mony of Pitt Meadows Day this Saturday.

By: DonWestein,Health Editor

After years of painstakingresearch, scientists have an-nounced a weight loss dis-covery so radical it could endAmerica’s obesity epidemic by2018.

“This is a real game-changer!" Says John P, anutritionist from Phoenix, AZ.Some say, Garcinia Cambogiais going to put millions out ofwork. Referring to the countlessjobs in thediet industry.But justthink about themillions of livesthat will be saved from sicknessand disease that comes frombeing fat!

Famous TV Heart Surgeon:This is the “Holy Grail forpeople with Weight problems!”

So exactly why isGarcinia Cambogiawowing the scientific

community?For one thing, it’s not

another diet craze that’s in oneday and out the other.

It’s a remarkable substancederived from an amazingpumpkin shaped fruit grownin southeast Asia… But notjust any variety of Garcinia willdo. It has to be grown only inspecific regions and cultivatedunder just the right conditions.The very best of the crop is“Garcinia Cambogia 2000”.

Garcinia Cambogia wipesaway fat so completely, thatit has caught the attentionof scientists and weight lossexperts all over the globe. Itworks like nothing else seenbefore. Simply take as directedand eat reasonably. You canalmost see your excess fat meltoff your body. It’s just thateffective!

Experts predict, the data isso compelling... “Weight-losscenters could be forced to shutdown. Diet doctors could beout of business within 5-years.”

“There just won’t be a needfor them anymore,” he added.

Gastric Bypassin a Bottle

The real power of GarciniaCambogia lies deep inside thefruit. It contains an ingredientcalled HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid)that melts fat away in the sameway stomach stapling does.

Johan Stifling, a leadingscientist in Utrecht Hollandsays: “With Garcinia it doesn’ttake much to fill you up. You’rejust not hungry anymore. Thecompound absolutely killsuncontrollable urges to binge onfood in just minutes after takingit. After just a fewbites, you’ll feelstuffed to the gills. You’ll swearyour stomachhas shrunk.”

The secret is its abilityto inhibit Citrate LyaseEnzyme (the stuff that turnscarbs into fat). HCA builds an

“impenetrable wall” so fat can’tget absorbed by your body… soyou simply can’t gain weight.Then, the HCA breaks up thefat you already have and forcesit out of your body.

Think about it. A pill thatstops fat frombeingmade, as itobliterates the fat you alreadyhave. Incredibly, the poundsand inches just roll off you.

Not Just fortheWealthy

Until recently, only the rich,famous and powerful havebeen able to try Garcinia Cam-bogia. But now, for the firsttime ever, the manufacturerhas made this revolutionaryperfected Garcina Cambogiaand made it available to thegeneral public.TheyCall it Gar-cina Cambogia 2000. And sincethe country’s obesity rate is atan all-time-high; it couldn’thave come at a better time.

Unlike other products on themarket that do little or nothingfor your weight problem;Garcinia Cambogia 2000contains the precise doses ofGarcinia and HCA; cultivatedin optimized conditionsand perfected for rapid andpermanent weight loss. Theresult? You’ll see changes inyour appetite almost overnight!

Your Body...Perfected!

There’sa surprise sidebenefitin Garcinia Cambogia 2000that virtually no other weight-loss product can give you —MUSCLE! Garcinia Cambogiaalso builds up your muscletone. So not only do you ridyour body of ugly fat… you getstronger too! Take as directedand Garcinia Cambogia willhave you slimmer, trimmer andstrikingly fit. You’ll see a totalbodymakeover in no time!

NoMore“Stress-Eating

Binges”If you’re an emotional eater

(and who isn’t), you’ll neverworry about over-eating again.Garcinia Cambogia 2000 stopsyour compulsion to "stuff yourface" during times of stress.It’s pure magic. Garcinia Cam-bogia 2000 jump-starts yourserotonin levels like a naturalXanex. So you don’t give into the temptation of “comfortfood” to calm down.

You’ll feel great, you’ll sleepgreat, and look great. And evenbeable squeeze intoyour favoritepair of skinny jeans again!

Healthier HeartAnd here’s fantastic news

for your heart. The HCAconcentration in GarciniaCambogia 2000 is proven tolower LDL ‘bad cholesterol’ bya whopping 31%. So you canenjoy the benefits of a healthyheart, great blood pressurenumbers, and normal bloodsugar too.That's great news forpeople have been overweightfor years and put unnecessarystress on their heart.

Clinical StudiesDon’t Lie!

In a recent study published intheAmericanJournalofDiabetes,Obesity and Metabolism,scientists discovered thatGarcinia Cambogia causessignificant weight loss, lowersfood intake and body weightgain, as well as tackling factorssuch as cholesterol, low-densitylipoproteins, triglycerides, andserum leptin levels.

100% SafeWhat’s more, Garcinia

Cambogia contains no fillers,no binders, and it’s produced instate-of-the-art FDA registeredlab facilities. It’s 100% safe,natural and won’t interfere withyour regularmedications. So youcan loseweightwith confidence.

Ecstatic UsersSandy M. of Orlando, FL

said, “I lost 4 pounds a week.And my ‘bad cholesterol’dropped almost 30%!”

Robin B. ofMinneapolis, MNadds, “I was skeptical. But whenI saw a Famous TV Doctor thatrecommend it, I tried GarciniaCambogia. I was shocked! I lost20 lbs. in the first month!”

A Grade 12 student has signed ascholarship agreement with a SanFrancisco team for this coming fall.by Eric [email protected]

Bailey Soolsma has her golden ticket tothe Golden State.

The 6’1 Grade 12 French immer-sion student at Maple Ridge Secondary(MRSS) will be pursuing post-secondaryeducation in San Francisco this comingfall.

She will do so with 80 per cent of herschooling paid for, through a volleyballscholarship agreement she’s signed with

the San Francisco Academy of Arts’Urban Knights.

A volleyball player since the age ofsix, Soolsma explained it was always herdream to play in the U.S.A.

“They’re more competition- and moresport-focused,” she said.

Her coach, Ed Jackson is happy to wel-come her.

“I am very excited about the potentialBailey has with our program,” he said.

“She brings a balance of size andfundamental skills that will make her astrong competitor in our conference.”

Soolsma spent her five years at MRSSplaying volleyball, both in and out of theschool.

She joined the Ridge Meadows VolleyClub at age 13, and didn’t look back.

She played for the local club fortwo years, before venturing to NorthVancouver to play with a club there.

Last year, the team finished second inthe province, and fourth at nationals.

During the 2014 season, Soolsmaplayed with the Vancouver Thunder vol-leyball club.

Soolsma has also been a team captainfor both her club and school teams forthe past three years.

As summer approaches, Soolsma willcontinue training both indoors and onthe beach – competing in several tour-naments in the Lower Mainland andCalifornia.

She will also be a beach volleyballcoach at the BC Summer Games.

Ridge volleyball player pursues American dream

Bailey Soolsma is off to California this coming fall.

Maple Ridge swimmer Vanessa McNabb convalesced during her time at BC Children’s Hospital.

After what seemed at firstlike devastating news, ayoung Ridge swimmer isreaching for the top.by Eric [email protected]

Nine year-old Maple Ridgeswimmer Vanessa McNabbwill compete at the HaneyNeptunes swim meet thisweekend with a goal in mind.

“I really want to make it tothe provincials in swimmingthis summer, and I think Ihave a pretty good chance,”she said.

While many competitiveathletes pursue different typesof plans, McNabb’s statementis a resounding one when oneconsiders the road she’s takento get to where she is today.

McNabb was born with arare condition in both of herlegs.

Without warning, hermuscles supporting her kneestructure will fail, and she’llfall.

The falls started when thenow 5’2 McNabb was in jun-ior kindergarten.

Thinking she was just goingthrough an awkward develop-ment phase, those around herattributed the falls to a growthspurt.

It wasn’t until Grade 1

when Vanessa suffered a ser-ious injury at school, that herdisability was discovered.

After being rushed to thehospital, Vanessa had her legexamined.

It was so swollen thatthe doctors at the hospitalcouldn’t determine the extentof her injury.

With a referral to BCChildren’s Hospital in 2012,the family met with Dr.Christopher Reilly, head ofchildren’s orthopedics.

It turned out McNabb hada very rare condition wherehere knee dislocates multipletimes a day.

Her patellar sublaxa-tion could not be correctedthrough any form of exerciseor physiotherapy.

Sports could mean traumathat could cause early child-hood arthritis at the veryleast.

Surgery on both kneeswould be required to allowher to walk without the fearof falling.

The idea that Vanessa couldnever pursue sports like otherchildren – even after surgeries– devastated her family.

“I cried for what I knew shewould never be able to experi-ence,” said her mom, Tammy.

The family spent a yearmeeting with Reilly – notrushing into surgery, but inconstant fear of her falls.

Reilly asked if Vanessa likedto swim, and said it’d be greatfor her physiotherapy.

The family decided to pur-sue the Haney Neptunes inMaple Ridge.

Being in the pool allowedVanessa to get the physicalactivity she was lacking in herlife, and she took to the waterquickly and naturally.

Starting in 2012, she swamtwo times a week until thespring of 2013 where she wasable to swim with the teamfour to five days a week andbegin competing on week-ends.

Vanessa will compete at themeet this weekend, whichruns all day on both Saturdayand Sunday.
