Medicine wheels have manypurposes and meanings, according toa local Aboriginal support worker.by Troy [email protected]

The wheels of First Nations culturaleducation in School District 42 continueto turn.

Maple Ridge Elementary is one oftwo district schools in which medicinewheels have helped generate moreAboriginal awareness among students.

Students used a hula hoop, yarn,and feathers to replicate traditionalFirst Nation medicine wheels made byAboriginal people. Doweling was addedto the interior of the hula hoop to createfour sections.

The goal is to have medicine wheelsat every school in the district, said SD42principal of Aboriginal education DougHoey,

“It’s the first step for creating aware-ness,” said Hoey, who added that,thanks to the efforts of Aboriginal sup-port workers, students’ knowledge ofFirst Nations gets “better and betterevery year.”

“I think it’s important for bothAboriginal and non-Aboriginal studentsto learn about the strong Aboriginal hist-ory and culture we have in this area,”Hoey said.

During a recent presentation, MapleRidge Elementary students volunteeredto speak to their peers about the medi-cine wheels they helped construct.

For First Nations people, a medicinewheel is many things on many variouslevels, and has many different meaningsand uses.

All First Nations have their own wayof interpreting a medicine wheel. ForAboriginal support worker Lisa Adair,it’s a symbol of spirituality and teachesabout Aboriginal culture.

A medicine wheel has many facets,Adair explained. They include the fourcardinal directions (north, south, east,and west), the life cycle from infancy toadolescence, and the four moon phases,among many other things.

“With the four seasons, sometimesthere are six, including Mother Earth

facing down and Father Sky being above.It is a circle which represents naturaland personal power in complete balance,and which shows everything is intercon-nected as a cosmic whole,” Adair said.“I think the Lakota said it best. Theycall the medicine wheel ‘Wakan Tanka,’meaning ‘The Great Everything’ and

that’s just it. It’s the sun and the moon,it’s the totem animals, it’s the elements,the air we breathe, the water we drink,it’s human… everything.”

Adair said the medicine wheel can beused as a guide to help people find theirway and “ground us when we embarkon our inner journeys.”

Pitt Meadows

New seniorsdigs proceedAfter an almost three-year delay, theseniors of Pitt Meadows are finallygoing to get a new housing facility.by Amy [email protected]

The site of a proposed seniors complexhas remained empty for the past threeyears. But on Tuesday night councilannounced plans are finally going ahead.

“We have a space crunch for the sen-iors,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor DonMacLean. “They’re increasingly more act-ive and they certainly need more space.”

They are going to get that in the form ofa housing complex, which will contain 102units, including 71 independent and 31assisted living suites, along with a 9,530-square-foot public seniors centre.

Pat De Luca, president of AllegroProperties Inc., started the project thatfronts 190A Street before. But due to eco-nomic difficulties, he had to pull out.

MacLean said De Luca should be givencredit for not giving up. And now, witha new partnership, De Luca is back onboard and excited about the development.

“About five months ago we approachedthe City and opened up discussions aboutthe project. The mayor, and staff, andcouncil were very receptive,” De Lucasaid, noting they have now applied fordevelopment and building permits.

They are expected to break ground againwithin the next 30 to 60 days.

Allegro met with parks and leisure ser-vices, and said they, along with the RidgeMeadows Seniors Centre, are happy.

Paddy Godbehere, the manager for theRidge Meadows Seniors Society, said thatlocal seniors “have been working for along time to have this come about, sothere is definitely excitement.”

Innervisions Recovery is hopingto break ground on May 1growing its 24-room facility bya further 16 beds.

by Maria [email protected]

Twenty women were sitting ina drug and alcohol recovery ses-sion at Hannah House on Tuesdaymorning when their session wasinterrupted by a group from G&FFinancial delivering an oversizedcheque for $15,000.

Applause broke out amongthe women and rang throughthe building, because they knewHannah House was now one stepcloser to breaking ground on itsexpansion, which will allow up to92 more women per year to getclean and sober.

G&F Financial handed overthe cheque to Billy Weselowski,executive director of InnervisionsRecovery, which runs three recov-ery programs – Hannah House inMaple Ridge and two treatmentcentres in the Tri-Cities.

“Billy’s the one with the pas-sion and I think that’s whatinspires us,” said Peter Kobayashi,a branch manager with G&FFinancial who there for Tuesday’spresentation.

Hannah House has been in itspresent location for six years, andInnervisions wants to add 16 bedsto the recovery home for women.

“It’s quite valuable to have cit-izens and businesses step up and

have a long, hard look and saythis is a good thing,” Weselowskisaid.

He grew up in east Vancouver,in a housing project and got intodrugs and crime at a young age.

After being in and out of jail afew times, Weselowski realized at33 that he needed to clean up.

He’s been clean and sober for22 years, is married with threechildren, and his life’s work hasbecome helping other people getback on their feet.

Weselowski said the barriersfor women to seek treatment aremuch higher than for men, whichis why there are so many fewer

treatment centres for women.It was his wife who pushed him

to open a women’s facility.Hannah House is the only treat-

ment centre for women in MapleRidge, Pitt Meadows, and the Tri-Cities area. Currently the averagewait time is 25 to 30 days to getinto treatment at Hannah House.

The additional 16 beds wouldallow 72 to 96 more women annu-ally to get help for their addictions– currently they have room for 24women at a time.

Seventy-three per cent of peoplewho come to Hannah House com-plete the program, Weselowskisaid.

Innervisions Recovery hasan abstinence-based programbecause, Weselowski said, “with-out the sobriety everything else isbased on a house of cards.”

“We’re pretty militant aboutbeing clean and sober,” he said.

An addict’s attitude is “I wantas much as I can handle, and Iwant you to be responsible for it,”Weselowski said.

Many of the people working forInnervisions are former addicts,like Weselowski, “who haverecovered from the horrors ofaddiction.”

Nothing is wasted at HannahHouse, Weselowski said, andmany of the improvements, forexample, the wood flooring andfurniture, have come from grantsand donations.

Weselowski said the society ishoping to get the balance of whatthey still need – between $40,000and $50,000 – to break ground onthe expansion on May 1.

Conservation officers fearscavenging coyotes areaffecting cougar traps.by Amy [email protected]

No new cougar sightings meansno new kills. But it also meansresidents and conservation offi-cers are now playing a waitinggame while trying to prevent acougar in east Maple Ridge fromkilling more farm animals.

Conservation officer PaulMcFadden thinks it is just a mat-

ter of time until the cougar comesback, but with coyotes scavengingthe horse carcass used to lureand trap the cougar, it could be awhile.

“The cougar doesn’t havethe chance to drag it off,” saidMcFadden, explaining that iswhat the cats like to do with theirkills so that they can cover it andprotect it from other wildlife.

The carcass of a miniaturehorse has been left surrounded by‘soft-catch’ leg-hold traps, whichare humane devices that use rub-ber bands to hold the animal andnot break the skin.

There have been two suspected

sightings in the past week, butneither of them can be confirmed.

“There is a heightened aware-ness,” said conservation officesupervisor Murray Smith.

He said they have receivedreports of two sightings in thegeneral vicinity of 264th Street.

“People perhaps let theirimagination get the better ofthem,” he said.

They received one last Sundaynight, when a young womancalled them and said that some-one had told her driving by in acar that they had seen a cougar,and that she should return home.

“It’s hard to verify,” Smith said.

Then a call came throughMonday night from someone whosaid they saw something that was“brindle coloured.”

However, Smith said theybelieve that person may haveseen a coyote instead as they geta lot of calls of that nature.

The cougar has killed a goat,two other miniature horses, adonkey and two sheep on theproperty at 128th Avenue and264th Street.

Conservation officers will notbring out bloodhounds to try andtrack the cougar until they have amore definitive sighting.

Albion’s principal hopesall students can beaccommodated.by Maria [email protected]

Andrea Walker isgoing to drive by AlbionElementary on Sundaynight to check out thesituation – she expects alineup of anxious parentsto start forming that even-ing. But if there isn’t one,she’ll be back at 4 a.m.on Monday morning toguarantee a space in kin-dergarten for her daughterAshley.

When Walker found outthis week from a neigh-bour who already has achild in the school thatthere are more childrenwanting to register thanthere are spaces, she start-ing panicking.

“I think they shouldfigure out a way to accom-modate all the kids in thecatchment,” Walker said.

Albion principal RonLanzarotta confirmed theenrolment projection forthe school this year is 86,and the cap on studentsis 66.

Last year, the schoolwent through the samething, and all studentswere accommodated.

But he acknowledgedhow difficult it is for par-ents when the expectationis to get their child intothe neighbourhood school.

“We know how stressfulit is for parents,” he said.“We feel badly.”

In the three years he’sbeen principal of theschool, they’ve alwaysbeen able to figure out away to get all kindergartenstudents in.

While the number of stu-dents expected to registeris 86, often there are fam-ilies who want to go to theall-year Kanaka Creek, orother district programs.

When the family movedto Albion more thanthree years ago, Walker

assumed her daughterwould go to the local ele-mentary school.

“I always thought ifyou’re in the catchment,you’d get a spot.”

Albion Elementary willoffer full-day kindergartenthis year to all its five yearolds as will every otherschool in the district. Lastyear about half of the localschools offered full-daykindergarten.

The school district ownsa school site on 104thAvenue, but it has towait for the Ministry ofEducation to provide thecapital funding to buildthe school.

Always room to improve:MLAThe objective for a merit-pay systemfor educators would be to helpchildren become more successful.by Maria [email protected]

Kevin Falcon created waves in educationcircles by suggesting if he becomes pre-mier on Feb. 26. he would introduce meritpay for teachers.

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton,who is backingFalcon’s bid tobecome leader of theB.C. Liberals andthe premier of theprovince, said creat-ing a master teachersystem would allowteachers to sharetheir wealth andexpertise with otherteachers.

“There’s alwaysroom for improve-ment – I know that first-hand as ateacher,” said Dalton, who taught at PittMeadows Elementary before being electedMLA two years ago.

The objective of rewarding good teach-ers is to help children be more successfulby improving the educational system.

The master teacher system is usedaround the world, Dalton said, forexample, in Australia and England, andit’s good to look at other jurisdictions toseek ways to improve education, health,and infrastructure.

If a merit pay system was developed, itwould have to draw on information fromteachers, parents, and experts, he said.

There would also have to be a variety ofcriteria used to determine which teacherswould be recognized as master teachers,Dalton said.

Dalton gave the example of First Nationsstudents whose graduation rates are lowcompared to their peers and said theremight be a way to increase graduationrates without lowering the bar using amaster teacher system.

When he announced his policy proposalfor merit pay for teachers, Falcon saidrecognized master teachers would men-tor other teachers, which would in turn

encourage excellencein the system.

But the criteriawould be developedby teachers, adminis-trators, parents, andcommunity leaders,he said.

Falcon said thatB.C. has lots ofdedicated teachers,but “every parentand student knowswho the exceptional,

innovative educators are.”“Government needs to recognize and

reward those teachers, and encouragethem to share their expertise and methodswith their peers,” he added.

Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association pres-ident George Serra said he thinks Falconwas “headline grabbing” with his com-ments about merit pay. He said merit paydoesn’t work for teachers because thework they do is not assembly-line work.

“Kids don’t work that way – teachersdon’t work that way,” Serra said.

If there’s extra money for merit pay,Serra said it should go into the systemoverall to improve classroom conditions.

“There’s alwaysroom forimprovement– I know thatfirsthand as ateacher.”Marc Dalton

Two former Pitt Meadows residentsowe ICBC more than $100,000 afterfalsely claiming their truck was stolen.by Amy [email protected]

Due to the inquisitivenature of an Ontariopolice officer, a MapleRidge couple owesICBC a lot of money.

In 2003, Ronald andJeannete LeBlanc, thenof Pitt Meadows, leased a bright yellow2003 Chevrolet SSR truck that was adver-tised at more than $57,000.

The couple claimed that on Oct. 1, 2004they parked the truck in their driveway,and the next morning it was gone.

They filed a stolen vehicle claim and asa result, ICBC paid out more than $60,000to the leasing company.

“We paid out the claim as we had noreason to believe thiswas a false claim,” saidICBC spokesperson AdamGrossman.

Then in 2007 the truckwas found on a property inMiramichi, N.B. – wherethe LeBlancs were origin-ally from. The truck was being stored onbehalf of a man who was hired by thecouple to do some renovations on theirhouse in 2004.

This piqued the interest of ICBC’s spe-cial investigation unit, and they started toexamine the case further, Grossman said.

“Especially given the amount we paidout on the claim,” he added.

The biggest flag that something waswrong with the details came when aninvestigating officer found out that twodays before the truck was reported stolen,it had been spotted in Ontario.

A local police offi-cer saw the distinctivetruck with a young manbehind the wheel andhe ran the licence plate.

“He thought, ‘how isa young man affordinga vehicle like this,’”Grossman recounted.

The plate checkedout because the truck

had not been reported stolen yet, but thatcheck was date-and-time stamped.

ICBC first pursued criminal chargesagainst the LeBlancs, but when those weredismissed, they proceeded with a civilsuit.

Now, the local couple has to pay backtheir original pay-out, plus investigationcosts – totalling more than $100,000.

“Quite apart from the compelling andobjective nature of the cor-roborative evidence, thetestimony of the LeBlancsis singularly unpersuasive,”said B.C. Supreme CourtJustice Gail Dickson infinding the couple commit-ted fraud and perjury.

ICBC has since sold the vehicle to theMiramichi police for a reduced value. It’snow used for the public community out-reach and the police also use it to encour-age teens to avoid driving while impaired.

“It’s our customers’ money,” saidGrossman, “and we deserve not to haveour money exploited in this way.”

Music

Tradition echoes in ACT lobbyAudience members can either listento the Celtic sessions or bring aninstrument and join in the playing.by Maria [email protected]

Nigel Tucker wants to bring a bit ofIrish pub atmosphere to Maple Ridge withhis Celtic sessions at the ACT.

Since September musicians have beenmeeting monthly in the lobby of the ACTplaying traditional British music — audi-ence members are invited to just pull upa chair and listen in.

“The hard and fast rule is people mustenjoy themselves,” Tucker said.

The musicians use traditional instru-ments such as the Irish flute and tinwhistle, but Tucker would like moremandolins, banjos and fiddles added tothe mix.

“I’d like (the audience) to enjoy allaspects of traditional music ... withouthaving to travel one and a half hours togreat sessions in Vancouver,” he said.

“My intent is to expose people to trad-itional British and Canadian music andhave them enjoy it,” Tucker said.

Tucker said his eventual hope is thesessions will turn into something similarto what takes place in Irish pubs.

The Celtic sessions are part of the artscouncil’s after-hours program, and Tuckeris contracted by them to lead the ses-sions.

The free Celtic Sessions with NigelTucker and friends will be held on Feb. 8,March 8 and April 12 in the lobby of theACT from 7 to 9 p.m.

Everyone is invited to come listen andrequest a song, or to bring their owninstruments if they wish to participate.

For more information about the Celticsessions, contact Nigel Tucker at 604-466-0274.

Opinion

“People disappear,” says one pro-tester explaining what happened inthe past to anyone who publicly dis-agreed with Hosni Mubarak’s regime.

As police pour into the Cairostreets, beating anyone in theirpath, people are afraid to go homebecause, says the protester, that’swhere the police arrest them andthey are never seen again.

Meanwhile, violence continues inthe streets in a situation that changesby the hour.

“There is a need to restore calm,” said ourForeign Minister Lawrence Cannon, having justlearned how to perform understatement. He wenton to echo the U.S., calling for “an orderly transi-tion” in Egypt, as though the people have votedin a new government in a democratic election.

The reality is, of course, a trifle different.As gunfire is heard in the streets, the protest-

ers remain unimpressed with Mubarak’s Tuesdayspeech in which he promised not to run in theSeptember elections.

Mubarak has tried everything from firing hisentire cabinet to dangling the “dialogue” car-rot. Many protesters believe he is now stallingfor time – with a little help from his friends, ofcourse, the friends who make people disappear.

And yes, there have been many incidents oflooting that have shocked the world – especiallythe theft of valuable artifacts.

However, the BBC has stated there are reportsthat at least some of the looters are plants, thatthey are government employees, especially fromthe Ministry of the Interior, sent to give the pro-testers a black eye.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Harper has joinedother world leaders in promoting the concept of“non-violent reforms,” something that may wellbe impossible after the 30 years that the world’smajor countries have propped up Mubarak.Enablers, all.

For example, the U.S. has been sendingMubarak $1.5 billion every year. The tanks in thestreets are American-made and the tear gas canis-ters are stamped “Made in the U.S.A.”

Governments everywhere – from the U.S. to

Britain to Israel – are terrified that outof the turmoil of the Egyptian streetsthere may rise the kind of sweepingIslamist movement that will lead toan Iranian-style anti-Western govern-ment.

And they worry that this rebellionvirus may be contagious – perhaps itwill spread across borders (is Jordannext or maybe Yemen?). Maybe theentire region will destabilize andworse, the price of oil will skyrocket.

While these are valid concerns, it must benoted that the unrest has risen out of Mubarak’s30-year dictatorship, years that the West choseto do nothing, all in the name of stability. The“better the dictator we know” policy has finallybackfired.

Just how out of touch is the West? Here’s acomment from former British PM Tony Blair onPiers Morgan’s Feb. 1 CNN program. Mubarak,said Blair, is “immensely courageous, and a forcefor good.” He went on to urge Western govern-ments to back Mubarak.

Oh the tepid, careful responses from both theUnited States and Canada to the people’s rebel-lions, first in Tunisia, then Egypt. Perhaps tounderline the depth of the West’s denial or per-haps to illustrate its ignorance of irony, HillaryClinton remarked, sincerity dripping off everyword, “We don’t want to see something take overin Egypt that would cause oppression.”

President Obama has condemned the violencein Cairo as “deplorable,” but he continues to walka fine line and has not insisted that Mubarak stepdown immediately.

The West has helped to prop up repressiveregimes all across the Middle East by giving themmoney and arms, by turning a blind eye to grossinjustice. All the while preaching democracy tothe world. All while demonizing China and occa-sionally using Syria for rendition purposes whenit can’t prove that a suspect, like Maher Arar forexample, is a terrorist.

As violence erupts in the streets of Cairo,will the West now offer sincere support for theEgyptian people and, at least momentarily, leaveaside self interest? Maybe.

Our View

Communitymust takeresponsibility

Let’s get it done this time.The land is available, the com-

mitment has returned… and as PittMeadows Mayor Don McLean astutelynoted, the seniors’ needs keep growing.

This time, the senior living complexproposed for 190A Street, behind theFamily Recreation Centre, needs to beseen through to completion. The com-mitment needs to be complete.

As a society, we quickly and easilyproclaim our respect – even reverence– for the seniors in our communities.We easily extol their virtues… as longas they don’t cost money.

We’re quick to point out that theseare the people who built our commun-ity. These are the people who nurturedus through our youth, established us asproductive members of the community.These are the people who, through theirjobs, their perseverance, their dedica-tion, their commitment, built the rela-tive wealth that most of us enjoy today.

But now their most productive years– in economic terms – are over. The jobof creating wealth has passed from theirhands to ours.

And it’s a shame that, the momentour wealth is threatened, the seniors areamong the first to feel the pinch.

We need to recognize the value ofseniors in continuing to create and buildcommunity, if not always in economicterms, then certainly by the social con-tributions that they afford us throughtheir active participation with family,friends, and society as a whole.

And the community they built needsto take responsibility for the seniors’continued contributions that enrich usall. We must ensure that, this time, theseniors living project – or one like it– continues to completion, to meet theneeds of those who have met the needsof the community for so many years.

Partnerships between public and pri-vate enterprises are all well and good– and they can benefit all parties con-cerned – but this time, if for whateverreason, the private end of the deal letsthe community down, then the com-munity must step forward and makearrangements necessary to ensure thatour senior members’ needs are met.

This time, let’s get it done.– B.G.

Dear editor,Once again, count on Maple Ridge

Councillor Craig Speirs to be the one thatdoesn’t get it.

If hotel developers and those who runhotels are now looking at Maple Ridge tobuild a hotel, it is precisely because MapleRidge doesn’t currently have a hotel tax.

The idea that the District imposes a tax,and then uses the money to promote tour-ism and new business is backwards.

If a large group is planning a meeting orretreat, or a family is planning a wedding,then find out they will be charged an extratwo per cent, do you think that will makea difference in their final decision?

The reason the tourism board was spun

off as private enterprise was to reduce thetax burden overall.

Nowhere else in Canada does one taxget eliminated only to get replaced byanother with no net gain to consumers orresidents.

Perhaps this is why Coun. Speirs hashis eye on Ottawa these days, and notfocused on Maple Ridge.

If we want to promote business andtourism in Maple Ridge, we need to senda clear message we’re open for business.

Maple Ridge is the only municipalityin the Fraser Valley that doesn’t chargea tax on hotel rooms. Vote for changeNovember 2011.

Tourism

Hotel tax seen as backward

Dear editor,In your editorial piece

[Promise about holdingpower, Jan. 25 Opinion,The TIMES], you madea few good points, how-ever the basic thrust ofthe piece was negated bymajor errors.

Firstly, it was the HarperConservatives who broughtabout the ”most progres-sive, democratic campaignfinance laws in the world”that we have today. Noother party would havehad the courage to do so.

It is the Liberals whohave financed their elec-

tion wins from large cor-porate donations and largeprivate donors, while theNDP have depended uponthe labour movement forits financial strength.

The Conservative Party,on the other hand, isfinanced almost entirely bysmall individual donationsfrom everyday Canadians.

You were entirelyincorrect when you statedthat the subsidy goes tocandidates; it in fact goesto party headquarters,the candidates/MPs seenothing of it, and so yourassumption that it is an

incentive for MPs to dowhat the electors want istotally lost.

The subsidy pays for theridiculous ads we are nowwatching on TV – what awaste.

The sooner this waste isstopped the better. Withthe incredible tax savingson political donations, 75per cent on the first $500,there is no need for furthertaxpayer support.

Why should Canadianspay millions of dollarsannually to the BlocQuebecois?

Graham Mowatt, Maple Ridge

Reaction

Conservatives owed the credit

Dear editor,Mr. [MLA Randy] Kamp claims that Mr.

[Prime Minister Stephen] Harper doesnot hide from the press and from time totime, he does take off-the-cuff questionsfrom the media. He, according to Mr.Kamp, is apparently too focused on gov-erning to spend time with the media, andget this “public relations exercises.”

First Mr. Kamp, pre-approved questionsfrom some favoured media hack does notconstitute making himself available tothe public press. That is what they callpropaganda.

He also mentions that he is not surewhat the opposition is talking about onother issues.

I am sure that is true at least, as I havefound that Mr. Kamp is quite uninformedabout most of the questions I have askedhim about.

A recent example: I asked him aboutmy having to pay HST on registeredtherapeutic massage, and he informed methat had nothing to do with the federalgovernment.

Well Mr. Kamp, quite the contrary. It

has everything to do with the federal gov-ernment. B.C. RMTs have the highest pro-fessional standards in Canada, probablyin North America, but it was not exemptfrom the GST and thus now is not exemptfrom the HST.

The very reason this medical anomalyexists is that years ago the federal govern-ment deemed there had to be four regu-lated provinces to be exempt from theGST. And guess what happened, as soonas the massage associations got thosefour provinces regulated the feds movedthe goal post to five provinces. And doyou want to bet that when the RMTs getthe fifth province, it will be moved to sixprovinces – to qualify for exemption.

The BC Liberals had a perfect chance torectify the injustice of taxing a registeredmedical treatment when implementingthe HST, but also chose not to exemptRMT from HST.

It is my opinion that Mr. Kamp, as ourelected representative, is not aware of alot of the things he should not only beaware of, but responsible for.

If someone had told me amonth ago that I would betaking hours of my precioustime reading three booksabout a farm on VancouverIsland owned and run by awoman who kisses her pigs,rescues sick horses and dogs,feeds her cats on the kitchencounter, and welcomes Merlin,a pungent smelling goat whosleeps in the dog basket and joins heron the couch to watch TV, I wouldhave thought they didn’t know mevery well.

The third of the three books cameto us at Christmas. I looked at it,read several pages, and that wasthat.

A few days later we ordered thefirst two from Black Bond and I havejust finished all three.

It may not be easy to say exactlywhat caught and held my interest.

It is just an eight-acre farm not farfrom Sidney, close to Victoria Airportand the Sandown Racetrack.

Although we occasionally meetfamous poets and accompany authorAnny Scoones on her travels, most ofthe time we are at Glamorgan Farmwith the horses, hens, ducks, geeseand turkeys, dogs, and cats.

They arrive, often in old trailerspulled by even older pickup trucks,they are fed and watered and given

appropriate names,each is introducedto the other animals(and to us) andgiven a warm andcomfortable placeto stay.

As we read slowlythrough the shortchapters we cometo know the ani-

mals, their personalities and idiosyn-crasies, we delight in their successesand mourn their passing as Fred iscalled to use his skills with a back-hoe and another hole is dug in theblack loamy soil to be filled and cov-ered with selected companion plants.

From time to time through the 10years covered by the books, Annyleaves the farm to travel or to visither mother and father, the artists,Bruno and Molly Bobak; or hermother leaves New Brunswick tocome to the farm.

Molly who is slowly losing hersight, gently worms her way into ourhearts as do most of the characters,animal or human, who we meet atGlamorgan Farm.

The three books, Home, Home andAway, and True Home begin on amisty spring morning when, havingwalked past the farm every day for12 years, Anny decides on the spurof the moment that this is where she

will spend the rest of her life.She says, “By nightfall, I was the

proud but overwhelmed owner ofone of Vancouver Island’s most his-toric farms.”

It could not have fallen into betterhands.

Anny Scoones respects its past andthe history of its 10 red-roofed build-ings, and does all in her power tomaintain and improve them.

Whenever she can, she invitesothers to share a piece of her home.

Over time, the big red barn, a mag-nificent heritage structure, becomesthe venue for numerous communityand cultural events, seating morethan 200 people.

She finds space for a young studentto keep his rats and mice; for twoyoung men to build their boats; forstraw-hatted Gavin, the herb andsalad gardener “to work the earth”and share his bounty; and for theHealthy Harvest Co-op gardeners,who sell their lush produce andflowers at local markets.

Anny Scoones is an elected council-lor for the District of North Saanich.She cares about the protection ofthe environment, raises rare breedsof livestock and grows heirloomproduce but, most of all, from earlymorning till late at night, she lovinglyruns her sanctuary for sick and aban-doned animals.

SCORE BIG FORGAMEDAY!

A Maple Ridge womanovercame severalobstacles, and will shareher life story Wednesday.by Troy [email protected]

Judy Joe knows how itfeels to not belong; shealso knows what it’s liketo rely solely on oneself forsurvival.

The daughter of anAboriginal mother andChinese father, Joe wastaken from Vancouver andraised by her step-familyin her father’s village inChina.

There, she was treated asan outsider and forced toovercome many strugglesin her attempt to reclaimher Canadian identity.

The abuse, both mentaland physical, Joe absorbedin China left permanentemotional scars.

“I didn’t have a child-hood,” Joe said. “I wasworking, farming, when Iwas five or six years old.”

Most of the beatingswere administered by Joe’sstepmother.

“The abuse I took inChina was horrible,” shesaid. “Theywould useanythingthey wouldget theirhands on.Dishes,sticks,anything.I don’t know why. I guessit’s because I’m just anoutsider.”

Joe’s father left her inChina. She never knew hermother.

“I don’t know my FirstNations, at all,” she said.“I didn’t know I was partnative. I don’t know mymother at all. All I knewis I’m half Chinese, but Ididn’t know what the otherhalf was.”

When she reached herteens, Joe fled her old life,and realized her goal ofreturning to Canada. Hong

Kong was her departurepoint. There, the then 17-year-old had an interestingconversation with an immi-gration officer.

“He said, ‘Do you knowwhat Canada’s like?’” Joerelated. “I said, ‘No, not atall, I don’t know anythingabout it.’ He said, ‘Theyspeak a different language,you know?’ And I went,‘Oh no!’”

When Joe finallyreturned to Canadian soil,she felt like an immigrantin her place of birth.

“I was totally on my ownbut I wasn’t scared at all,”

she said. “Iwas bornhere. I’m aCanadian.”

Uponher arrival,Joe faced awhole newset of chal-lenges. She

couldn’t speak English,didn’t know a soul, andwas literally penniless.

She landed a job at a cof-fee shop in Vancouver’sChinatown district.

“At least I understoodthe language,” she said. “Ilearned how to serve coffeeand how to make coffee,and what the customerswanted. I didn’t have alife. I worked and slept andthat’s it for most of my lifeat that point.”

In her first decade livingin the Lower Mainland, Joe

moved 13 times.Along the way, she

learned English on her ownby interacting with localpeople.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

The Langley Jr. Thunder’s Ridge Meadows connection includes, left to right, Reegan Comeault, Sam Weselowski, James Baker, and Lyndon Knuttila.

Ridge Meadows minor lacrossehas become a feeder systemfor the Langley Jr. Thunder.by Troy [email protected]

The Golden Ears Bridge hasbecome an instant connection fromMaple Ridge and Pitt Meadows toLangley, which is good news forthe Langley Jr. Thunder’s recruitingefforts.

Recently at the Langley EventsCentre, the third-year B.C. JuniorA Lacrosse League franchise signedthree players from Ridge Meadows:James Baker, Sam Weselowski, andLyndon Knuttila.

They join fellow Ridge Meadowsproduct Reegan Comeault, whowas an impact player in 2010,his first full season with the Jr.Thunder after making six appear-ances with the squad in 2009.

Comeault, the first pick overall atthe ’09 Midget free-agent lacrossedraft, recorded a team-leading 33goals (including 17 on the power-play) and 73 points in 20 games.

Comeault is looking forward tothe 2011 campaign.

“We are pretty young, so we arelooking to improve this year andturn out better,” he said. “We’vestill got three more years togetherwith pretty much the same coregroup.”

Comeault didn’t hesitate to jointhe Jr. Thunder after being selectedat the top of the draft table twoyears ago.

“I talked to the managementand they were really good to methroughout the process,” he said.“I got an opportunity to play juniorlast year when, if I went to a lot ofother places, I wouldn’t have, soI think it helped me on a personallevel.”

Jr. Thunder general manager,co-governor, and vice-president oflacrosse operations Brock Rose saidplayers of Comeault’s ilk possessthe character necessary to be differ-ence-makers.

“They don’t want a participationpin, they want to change a fran-chise,” Rose said. “I’m looking forthat attitude where ‘I want to getthis done’.”

With the Midget draft being nixed

this year, the Jr. Thunder took aproactive approach and signedthe trio of Ridge Meadows play-ers, which is no coincidence, Roseexplained.

“They [Ridge Meadows] aredeveloping good ball players– plain and simple,” Rose said.“They’re in the Valley, the proxim-ity is close, withthe bridge, and theEvents Centre andeverything else…it’s a perfect storm.”

If there was adraft, Baker wasgoing to be takenfirst overall by theJr. Thunder any-way, Rose noted.

Baker said the Jr. Thunder isgoing to be a “good team and getbetter as the years go on.”

Weselowski said he is excitedabout joining the Jr. Thunder. Asfor what he’ll bring to the teamnext year, he said, “I’ll try to be aswell-rounded as possible but aboveall else, try to be a tough defensivetransition player.”

Knuttila said having RidgeMeadows players on the team

will ease his transition to juniorlacrosse.

“I know all of them already and Iknow their playing styles,” he said.

The Jr. Thunder finished at thebottom of the eight-team junior Aleague with a 2-19 record last sea-son. Despite the abysmal record,Rose said there were bright spots.

“I don’t think wehad struggles,” hesaid.

“If you look atour team, we hadthe second-bestpowerplay in theleague and if youlook at our power-play guys, theywere all still not

junior-age players. They have fourmore years of junior left, includinglast year.”

Rose noted the team’s goaltend-ing was “just average,” the mainreason six netminders are expectedto show up at training camp.

“While I don’t want to put theemphasis on one player, or oneposition, it was pretty evidentwhere we needed to identify ourweaknesses,” he said.

You can have your spouse,significant other, flame, orfling serenaded to benefitthe B.C. Heart and StrokeFoundation.by Troy [email protected]

If music be the food of love,play on – William Shakespeare

Music and romancehave long beenintertwined, andas a buildup to

Valentine’s Day, a local choruswill serenade people’s sweetiesto benefit a good cause.

Rayne Beveridge, alongwith his glee club andadult choir members, willdeliver singing telegramsacross Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows, withhalf the proceeds goingto the Heart and StrokeFoundation. The rest will goto funding the glee club.

“Music can be a wonderfulexpression of love,” Beveridgesaid. “It’s an expression thatcan’t necessarily be expressedthrough words.”

One of Beveridge’s studentssuggested benefiting the founda-tion because it would be appro-priate on the one day of the yearthat’s synonymous with hearts.

“We wanted originally to do

something to raise money forour [glee] club, but it’s alsoimportant for me to have thekids doing work for the com-munity and doing things for agood cause,” Beveridge said.

Led by Beveridge, theValentine’s chorus consisting ofvocalists between the ages of 12

and 65 will make unannouncedvisits to homes and businessesaround Maple Ridge and PittMeadows on Feb. 12-13.

There are three songs tochoose from: Marry You byBruno Mars, Queen’s Crazy LittleThing Called Love, and the Elvisclassic, Love Me Tender.

Beveridge said the singers arechomping at the bit to show offtheir vocal chops.

“They are really excited,”Beveridge said. “They think itis a really cool idea. If you canimagine, opening your door to15 people singing a song foryou on your doorstep doing

choreography but singing in twoor three-part harmonies… theyare really excited to be a part ofsomething like that.”

The chorus has been practis-ing for a month-and-a-half toprepare for the weekend beforeValentine’s Day.

“It’s really all about getting ittogether,” Beveridge said.

The group is staying withinthe boundaries of Maple Ridgeand Pitt Meadows to allow traveltime between telegrams, whichwill be delivered between 3 and9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12 and1 and 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb.13.

“We figure about five minutesto ring the doorbell, have themanswer, let them know who weare and who sent us, sing oursong, and say ‘thank you’ and‘happy Valentine’s Day’ and15 minutes to drive to the nextplace,” Beveridge said.

The person behind the tele-gram can be there to watch, ifhe or she so chooses.

The telegrams cost $30 eachand payments can be made atboth locations of the BergthorsonAcademy of Musical Arts. CallBeveridge at 604-781-1213 oremail him at [email protected] to arrange a timeand place for a telegram.

The Bergthorson Academyof Musical Arts locations are,in Maple Ridge, at 21-22621Lougheed Hwy., and in PittMeadows at 12229 Harris Rd.

Sweetie serenades benefit good causes


Rayne Beveridge warmed up his vocal cords in preparation for the weekend before Valentine’s Day, when he will lead a chorus around thecommunity to benefit the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times Friday, February 4, 2011 A27Valentines Day is Coming


The Westcoast Harmony Chorus isonce again doing singing telegramsfor Valentine’s Day.by Heather Colpitts and Roxanne [email protected]

The women of Westcoast HarmonyChorus are accustomed to seeingsome blushing on Valentine’s Day.

That’s the day the region’sbarbershop singing group for women fansout across the Lower Mainland in groupsof four to deliver singing Valentine’s.

Westcoast Harmony is accepting book-ings for Monday, Feb. 14 and has fivequartets lined up for that day.

Blushing is the typical reaction when thegroup finds its quarry and begins singing.

They go to the intended recipient nomatter where that person may be, basedon information provided by the personwho booked them.

“I’ve had to wear a hard hat,” saidsinger Trudy Zonneveld, adding she’s alsoperformed in a butcher shop.

During the day, they are typicallybooked to go to workplaces and in theevening, the mood changes.

“Then you start to get more romanticdinners,” she explained.

Typically other people in the officeor construction site or restaurant circlearound for the Singing Valentine andsometimes join in the singing.

“It is a wonderful gift,” noted the singerwho has been with Westcoast Harmonyfor three decades.

Probably the most unusual book-ing she’s been on was to Simon FraserUniversity’s wrestling team practice. They

had been booked by a couple of the wrest-lers’ girlfriends.

While the recipients can get chokedup at the gesture by a loved one, some-times it’s the singers themselves who aremoved.

Valentines Day is Coming

…continued from pge A28Zonneveld noted that one quartet was

booked to stop by Royal ColumbianHospital.

“The wife had ordered it for her hus-band who was in palliative care,” shesaid. “That was very touching.”

It turned out to be the perfect gift fora terminally ill husband who could nolonger eat. The wife later wrote the choirto thank them for an experienced theytreasured.

The singers also have their lightermoments and love theValentine’s Day cam-paign and on the way toone booking, a quarteteven found it had aneffect on the justice sys-tem.

“We sang our way outof a ticket,” Zonneveldsaid with a chuckle.

The police officer evencalled over another copto hear them. The groupwas let off with a verbalwarning.

The Singing Valentinecost $50 each andall funds go to helpWestcoast with music supplies and edu-cation for its members, such as havingexperts in for workshops.

Due to scheduling issues, the group wasnot able to have its Feb. 14 event lastyear and did have people calling askingfor bookings.

Zonneveld noted that often after theyhave been to a booking, someone whosaw it contacts Westcoast to book aswell.

“If it fits into the schedule, we will doit,” she explained.

And that’s where Maple Ridge’s

Maureen Beechinor comes in. Still in herfirst year with the group, she won’t beout singing on Valentine’s. Instead, she’llhelp man the phones and dispatch singers– including to her own community.

“This year, I’m just going to be thehelper girl,” Beechinor said. “And we’regung ho to go.”

The lifelong singer jokingly blames herhusband for getting her involved in theWestcoast Harmony, in the first place.

The couple, who has been married for20 years, were jamming together one

night playing guitars andsinging, when her hus-band Kelly suggested shejoin a music group.

A Google searchled her to WestcoastHarmony Chorus,and she was quicklyengrossed.

So she’s doing her partto support the efforts byordering a serenade forher hubby on Feb. 14.

But he’s workingin Fort St. John thisValentine’s Day, so she’sarranged for his sing-a-gram to be delivered via

the telephone.“I just thought it would be kind of fun

for him, since he’s the one that pushedme in this direction,” Beechinor said.

While she’s not singing this year,Beechinor hopes to have a quartet inplace for next year – anxious to be moreinvolved.

For anyone wondering about the qualityof the performance, just remember thatthe chorus won the regional chorus com-petition and last October came in secondat the international barbershop singingcompetition in Seattle.

Ridge singer orders song for hubby

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Feb. 6 - Feb. 12★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Lie low, rest Sundaymorning. This afternoon to Tuesday your energy andcharisma surge – a bit of big luck could come, maybeinvolving home, relationships or money. (However,don’t push authorities.) Chase money Wednesdayto Friday noon – but take care with purchases. Yourhopes and your money resources (earnings level,savings) are in conflict – find reality. You might sense,or be offered, a career or status “partnership.” It’ssubtle, you have to be intuitive or watch clues. Fridayeve, Saturday bring errands, casual friends, curiosityand variety – read, write, talk.Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lieson ambition, career, prestige relationships, yourreputation and status. Elements of fantasy/deception,creative ideas and impatient bosses crowd this zone.If you deal with government, large corporations,institutions or charitable agencies, “impatientbosses” will be less of a factor. Be willing, quick torespond – and keep your sense of humour (especiallyThursday!). Use Sunday eve through Tuesday forresearch and planning – get plenty of rest. Yourenergy surges Wednesday to Friday: display yourskills, work hard. Excellent purchases Friday eve,Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent lies ongentle love, compassion, broad vision, law, highereducation, publishing, far travel and cultural rituals.February 5/6’s sober, realistic love wish is almostsure to come true. But a “sweet confection” lovewish, involving beauty, and perhaps involving a Libraor Taurus, is less likely to come true. (Some “destiny”lies in wait for this one – either a wipe-out, or a deeprebirth.) In other ways, Sunday to Tuesday bringswish fulfillment, social delights and happiness. Rest,lie low Wednesday/Thursday. You shine, succeed andattract others, Friday eve, Saturday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: The emphasis lies onmysteries, sex, intimacy, research, large finances,lifestyle, crucial health matters, commitment– anything that can change your life deeply (usuallyanother person is involved). This month, thesechanges tend to work through your ambitions, career,or status situations. E.g., a “status” wedding changesyour life and finances. Or a career opportunitydemands a commitment (of $?) from you, and willchange your life. (Your career is marked by splendidluck this winter/spring.) Charge ahead Sunday-Wednesday (a happy day!). Retreat, rest, plan Fridayeve, Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships, relocation,dealings with the public, fame, negotiations, litigation,agreements, opportunities and opposition – these fillFebruary. This week, especially Sunday to Tuesday,emphasizes the source of this winter/spring’s goodluck: legal, loving, intellectual, international andcultural scenes. Work, health and your duties orambitions might interfere – these are heading for adeep change and “rebirth.” (It centres on Wednesday,but could occur anytime in February.) Chase yourambitions Wednesday, but avoid conflict, aggressionThursday. Joy, friends, Friday/Saturday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Work’s essential – get itdone. Your efforts, duties (and perhaps health) aretied up with an influence of deep change this month,especially this Sunday to Tuesday. This can manifestas: a sexual affair with a co-worker, investment inyour job or tools/machinery, or changes broughtabout by your job or health – all are agents of change– beneficial change. Money goes better than romanceright now. A gentle love floats in Wednesday, butirritation dissipates affection Thursday. (DON’T investor make big changes this day.) Be ambitious Fridayeve, Saturday – success accompanies you!

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis is onromance, creativity, beauty, luck, risk, pleasure,charming kids, sports/games. You’re riding a winningstreak – recognize and use it, seize on openings, issueinvitations, respond, speak what’s in your heart, etc.Take a chance! The source of your January-to-Juneluck is highlighted Sunday afternoon through Tuesday:relationships, relocation, negotiation, agreements andcontracts, litigation, co-operation. Clue: everything inthe first sentence will aid these; but security, property,family will “fight” them. These, security, property, etc.,are about to transform.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be gentle on the homefront – spend energy on renovations, repairs, ratherthan causing family friction. Think back and ahead:decide who should stay in your life, who shouldleave. Your choices will affect your health and yourduties, for good or ill. Your work will expand for thenext four months – clues arrive Sunday to Tuesday.Quiet discussions and administrative contacts benefityour efforts, but more adventurous communications(especially of love or competition) will erect barriersto work success – take heed Thursday. Mysteries,intimacy and finances succeed Friday eve, Saturday.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romance, creativityand a risk-taking mood steal upon you Sundayafternoon to Tuesday – take that risk! But realizemoney and confidence aid romance/creativity morethan wishful thinking does. You might have somepuzzles to work out around these: romance, pleasure,money and work.Work definitely faces youWednesday(success) and Thursday (when work interferes withromance’s communications, or might be dangerous– practise safety). Exciting meetings (and some a bitmore stable, boring, with other generations) arriveFriday eve/Saturday: love’s possible! All month,money’s lucky.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money, buy/sell, seek lucrative clients – but most importantly (asSunday to Tuesday might whisper to you) pursue theconnection between security and money: e.g., buy orsell real estate, start a retirement fund, put away fundsfor your children’s education, purchase insurance,spend on new business premises or to expand yourterritory. Ending unprofitable or stale situations isalso a wise move financially. Romance and pleasurecall Wednesday (successfully) and Thursday (not –beware “wasted money”). Tackle chores Friday eve,Saturday: you’re ambitious, productive!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness are at a peak! Start importantprojects, seek favours, call in markers, show yourselfin person. You’re very communicative, curious andtravel-prone this month – these are emphasizedSunday to Tuesday. A Libra and a Gemini areattracted – the Libran is very serious. A Leo wantsto spar – and join. Attend to domestic matters, familyand security, property and “territory” Wednesday toFriday afternoon. Don’t be overbearing Thursday p.m.Romance, creative surges and the urge to take a bigchance arrive Friday eve, Saturday – yes, plunge in!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, lie low,contemplate, plan. Be charitable, spiritual. Attend toobligations, committee and administrative chores. (Dotaxes?) You will want to be free of these in two weekswhen your energy and money luck will soar upward.Let much of your planning involve finances. Money,earnings and possession are highlighted Sundayp.m. through Tuesday – let realism rule fantasy andwishful thinking. Your wishes, however, do have adestined road ahead – something is wiped out orborn this week; it changes your future. Careful withmoney Thursday. Deep rest, good family Saturday.
