Pitt pilot survives, two others perish. p5

Maple Ridge council has rejected its consultant’s advice and is focus-ing on two scenarios that call for the most intensive development of Albion fl ats.

The decision came at its Tues-day meeting, to be followed by more discussion on Monday, when

council hammers out exactly what it wants to see for the farmland on Lougheed Highway and 105th Av-enue.

In his report to council, consul-tant Mark Holland recommends all four scenarios that came out of the brainstorming and public meet-ing sessions last fall be sent to the Agricultural Land Commission for comment.

Scenarios 2 and 4 call for develop-ment on both sides of 105th Avenue and a minimum of 1.7-million sq. feet of commercial/industrial space, while Scenarios 1 and 3 call for less

intense development, emphasizing recreation and leaving most of the west side as farmland.

“I do think there’s a lot more conversation we can have with the public,” said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie.

She pointed out that the ALC could favour an option calling for heavy recreational use, which the district couldn’t afford anyways.

She favoured the idea of only sending two scenarios, as long as some elements from the other two could be considered.

Council hired top planners to sketch out options for the area af-

ter getting community input, but it’s council’s job to decide what to do with it, added Mayor Ernie Daykin.

“We’ve been working on this a while,” he added. “It’s quite clear, folks want to see more shopping options.”

Council could settle on a blend of all scenarios, then have an open house to get public comment be-fore forwarding a scenario to the ALC for comment on what portions could be excluded from the agricul-tural reserve for development.

Council will refi ne ideas before sending for comment

The installation of six new por-table units at a Maple Ridge men’s prison has the union that represents prison guards in B.C. worrying the province is preparing for another infl ux of refugees.

The containers were installed at the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre last month in an area which already houses men who fl ed Sri Lanka and arrived last summer on the MV Sun Sea.

The holding area has also received upgrades to wiring and its satellite system.

“Our concern is there are two more boats of 500 migrants on their way,” said Dean Purdy, chair of the corrections and sheriffs services component of the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union.

Cpl. Todd Balaban estimates his teen daughter’s Black-

berry buzzes every 15 seconds, vibrating when friends update their sta-tus, send or receive mes-sages, post pictures, or tweet.

“Quite frankly, it drives me nuts,” says Balaban, whose insight into the wired world of teenagers comes first-hand through his four kids.

The first thing he no-ticed when he returned from a year spent train-ing police in Afghanistan was: The big World Wide Web had gone mobile.

Everything you once did on a large desktop computer was compactly packed into a little smart-phone.

“I come back and it’s gone from Hotmail and MSN to Black Berry Mes-senger being the biggest thing,” he says.

“Mobility has become a big thing for kids. There is no downtime for kids anymore. They are be-ing instantly notified of everything that’s going on.”

According to an Ipsos Reid study, 76 per cent of Canadian teenagers aged 12 to 17 now have a social network profile, up from 50 per cent in 2007.

These days when some-thing happens inside or outside a classroom, it is not just the small group of people present who know about it, it’s out

everywhere, says Bala-ban, posted on Facebook, chronicled on Twitter and possibly filmed or photographed.

Photographs of a gang rape last September in Pitt Meadows that went viral after being posted on Facebook show that social media can some-times open a Pandora’s box of evil.

Investigators struggled to get teenagers to stop sharing the photographs

and get websites to take them down.

There are also many stories about people who were stalked by someone they met online, had their identity stolen, or had their computer hacked.

Balaban knows par-ents sometimes can feel outpaced by their tech-nologically savvy kids. Technology aside, there are lessons that parents can teach to help kids stay safer as they social-

ize online.He knows his daugh-

ter’s Facebook password and is a friend on her page.

Far from being a snoop, Balaban says, it allows him to stay informed.

“It keeps you in the loop with your child be-cause your child looses their interpersonal skills when they are always on-line,” he explains.

He’s told his daughter to be careful about who

she accepts as friends, make sure the person she’s adding is someone she really knows.

He also takes away the Blackberry until she’s completed her home-work.

“You have to find a way to monitoring your child,” says Balaban.

“I know parents get busy, but you have to be on top of it like anything else. It’s a balance for the kids.”

Clint van Blanken, volunteer and crime prevention program coordinator for the District of Maple Ridge, is organizing a work-shop on social media for Feb. 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall.

Portables are for staff : CBSA

Workshop on social media will off er tips to help kids stay safe as they socialize online

Social safetyWhile social networking sites can increase a person’s circle of friends, they also can increase exposure to people with less than friendly intentions.Tips for helping your kids use social networking sites safely:• help your kids understand what information should be private;

• explain that kids should post only information that you – and they – are comfortable with others seeing;• use privacy settings to restrict who can access and post on your child’s website;• remind your kids that once they post information online, they can’t take it back;• talk to your kids about avoiding

sex talk online;• tell your kids to trust their gut if they have suspicions. If they ever feel uncomfortable or threatened by anything online, encourage them to tell you;• go where your kids go online;• review your child’s friends list;• understand sites’ privacy policies.

WorkshopCpl. Todd Balaban is one of three presenters who will be speaking at social networking at a workshop in Pitt Meadows on Wednesday, Feb. 16. The workshop will look at social media staples like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Black Berry Messenger; why social media

matters to parents of teenagers and how to notice potential problems. Other speakers: Tony Cotroneo, youth services co-ordinator with parks and rec-reation; and Tabasom Eblaghie, a professional clinical counsellor. The workshop takes place from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall, 12460 Harris Road.


“They are pretty strong rumours. Usually when there isn’t going to be anything, you see them down-grade things, so it leads us to be-lieve that the rumours that are out there are true.”

The possibility of adding more people to the already overcrowd-ed facility on 256th Street has the union very concerned.

Built to hold 254 inmates, Fraser regional is 200 per cent over capac-ity, said Purdy.

“It’s only going to make our cur-rent situation more diffi cult to deal with.”

The Canadian Border Service Agency confi rmed that the por-tables were brought in at their request, but assures they are only being installed to house staff.

“It is actually CBSA working space,” said spokesperson Shakila Manzoor.

“It improves their working condi-tions.”

She would not say if the agency is aware that more ships with asylum seekers are headed to Canada.

As of Monday, the CBSA had re-leased 337 adults who arrived on the MV Sun Sea from custody.

That means 112 still remain in de-tention, 12 of those on federal court stays.

Of those 112, 106 men and six are women.

Manzoor couldn’t say how soon the 112 people will be processed.

“It’s on a case by case basis.”Conservative MP Randy Kamp is

not aware of any imminent arriv-als, but said federal government agencies are is keeping an eye on human smuggling activities over-seas.

“I’ve heard the weather condi-tions are such that a ship probably wouldn’t try to make that voyage until later in the spring,” he added. “We hope there are no more on their way and I haven’t heard of any.”

Besides working with countries like Thailand, Kamp said, the fed-eral government has proposed Bill C-45 as a way to curb human smug-gling. The bill calls for a fi ve-year waiting period before those who arrive by smuggling can apply for permanent residency and allows for jailing for up to a year while their status is determined.

“It is putting pressure on our re-sources and the integrity of our im-migration system and that’s why we felt like we need to introduce legislation that address it,” said Kamp.

Opposition parties, however, have said they won’t support the bill in its current form.

A gravel mine in the Pitt Polder has been given the green light to

expand.Approval from the

provincial Ministry of Energy and Mines was rubber-stamped just before Christmas, four months after Lafarge

Canada Inc. tweaked its plans to move the mine’s boundary fur-ther away from homes.

Pitt River Quarries’ revised plan shifted the proposed mine expan-

sion 200 metres away from the nearest houses on Sheridan Hill. The distance was double the original 100-metre setback originally set out.

The changes to the expansion plan follow a heated public meeting between Lafarge and Sheridan Hill residents last March.

“We revised the plans to address the concerns of the public,” said Brad Kohl, general manager of aggregates and ma-rine division for La-farge Canada (Vancou-ver area).

The current gravel mine has enough stone and rock for another 20 years of extraction and covers 54.7 hectares.

The proposed expan-sion will allow Lafarge Canada to continue mining at the site for an additional 10 to 15 years.

The expansion will now follow a “natural draw,” or gully, that exists in the rocky out-crop.

Kohl hopes residents who initially opposed the expansion are sat-isfi ed with the revised plans. He hasn’t re-ceived any negative feedback since the changes were an-nounced last summer.

“We followed the pro-cess,” said Kohl. “Now, hopefully, we can go back to being good

neighbours.”Residents who vocally

fought the mine expan-sion, in both its revised and original form, were surprised to fi nd out its permit was approved.

They still remain con-cerned for wildlife, the destruction of vegeta-tion and the eventual grinding down of a hill that’s a landmark in the Pitt Polder and which is purported to be the location of a lost gold mine. It also fi gures prominently in First Nations legends.

Brent Richards said the provincial govern-ment promised to no-tify him of any develop-ments.

He hasn’t received a letter or verbal con-fi rmation that Pitt River Quarries’ expan-sion had been rubber-stamped.

“It should have been common courtesy to let us know,” said Rich-ards.

The gravel mine has been located on Sheri-dan Hill since the 1960s, before a tony subdivi-sion was built near it.

Besides supplying gravel to nearby mu-nicipalities and devel-opments, the quarry was a major supplier of aggregate for the Pitt River Bridge.

It is currently sup-plying cement for the construction of the new Port Mann Bridge.

SYNTHETICSOver the last twenty years or more auto

manufacturers have tried to improve the durability and longevity of their various vehicles by using some synthetic oils in many of the oil lubricated components that make up modern vehicles. The thing to remember about synthetic oil is most of them are comprised of regular oil as a base with a great deal of additives mixed in.

Thirty-fi ve years ago when I started in the mechanical repair business the gap in quality between conventional and synthetic oils was huge, which was mirrored in the difference in the purchase price. Now the gap between the two has narrowed considerably, with conventional oil no longer being the poor cousin unable to compete.

Along with the all the new technologies required to run modern day vehicles, the manufacturer’s were required to upgrade the engine and other oils contained in these vehicles to keep up. Very few Domestic and Japanese vehicles have synthetic engine oils in their crankcase when they’re new. The reasoning for this is quite simple. The newer oils used in these vehicles meet much stricter specs and, while conventional, it’s not that far behind the higher priced synthetic oils in it’s abilities to lubricate the engine suffi ciently.

Many times a week I’ll have a new customer request that we use a specifi c brand/type of synthetic oil in their vehicle when we do a service, including an oil change. So I’ll always ask why they think they need synthetic oil and how long have they been using it? When they’ve answered that question then I ask them if they’re using a high end oil fi lter to go along with their very expensive oil. Not one person has responded yes, at least not yet. So I then go on to explain to them that the extra money spent on a better fi lter would provide them with what they want, better engine protection, for considerably less than the money they’re currently wasting on synthetic oil.

I need to add to this that some high-end vehicles, mostly European, come from the factory with synthetic oil in their crankcases. In order to maintain their warranties, and ensure they will last as long as designed, you cannot deviate and use conventional oils. You see there is a difference between engines designed for synthetic oils, and one that is not and therein lies the difference. Engines designed for conventional oils tend to burn oil faster with synthetic oil in their crankcase. Does that sound like a good thing to you?

So in closing, if you drive a domestic or Japanese vehicle that doesn’t require synthetic oil, then upgrade your oil fi lter, for that added protection you desire. Don’t waste your money on things you don’t need, because the truth is, there are only really two types of engine oil you need to know about. Clean oil and dirty oil. Don’t make something that’s not complicated more expensive than required. It doesn’t make any cents too!

One of the pilots in a mid-air crash involving two small planes just east of Mission Wednesday is from Pitt Meadows.

According to RCMP, Don Hub-ble, 60, from Langley was the pilot of the Cessna 150 that crashed into Nicomen Slough. He along with his passenger, Patrick Lobsinger, 70, from Surrey, passed away.

The pilot of the second plane that made a emergency landing in a fi eld was Paul Knapp from Pitt Meadows.

The two planes were part of a formation team with two others.

Ron Smit, was driving home from work when he heard about the crash. Being a pilot himself, he headed towards the site, near Waring Road and Lougheed High-way. When he arrived on Waring, he saw a Cessna 150 in the fi eld and realized he knew the pilot, then went over and spoke with his friend.

The pilot said he was fl ying with three other planes and lost sight of the other aircraft when one suddenly fl ew into his aircraft at speeds Smit estimated would have been 100 mph (160 km/h). The

planes hit, locked together, then spiralled out of control and head-ed towards the ground.

Smit said his friend worked the controls and tried to disconnect the planes. At about 500 feet, the planes came apart and the pilot surprisingly found all his controls were functional. He was able to shut off the fuel, power down the plane, then make an emergency landing into the fi eld.

The other plane crashed into the slough, and according to Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson, one of the two occupants in the air-craft perished on scene. The other was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital via air ambulance and died later in the evening.

A Transportation Safety Board

(TSB) investigator said the lead plane that crashed into Mission’s Nicomen slough was rear-ended by the second plane, which made an emergency landing in a farm-er’s fi eld.

Langley Airport manager George Miller said the small for-mation team fl ies out of the Lang-ley airfi eld on a regular basis and has taken part in Remembrance Day fl y-overs in the area for the past half a dozen years.

TSB’s Damien Lawson said the area of the crash is offi cially rec-ognized for training and that the four planes were fl ying in a dia-mond formation when the incident occurred. He could not elaborate as to why the two planes came in contact with one another.

Formation fl ying is a regular occurrence in the area, Lawson added, and the distances between planes are not regulated and are up to the individual pilots. The four practised together regularly, he said.

“This is really just a tragic acci-dent,” he said.

THE NEWS/opinion

I wish we could be-lieve all the health claims a great

variety of companies make about their products.

If they where really true, then we should have the healthiest population in the world; doctors offi ces and hospitals would be underutilized and our taxes and health care premiums would go down.

A brief reality check makes it pretty clear that either we do not make use of these natural or not-so-natural health foods, detoxifi ers and herbal cures, or they do not work.

Given the overwhelming demand for government fi nanced health care, it is pretty clear that most of the claims are bogus.

And that includes the claim “your money back” if not satisfi ed. I have not heard of anyone who successfully got their money back after purchasing any of these remedies or cures.

That may partly be due to placebo phe-nomenon. There is much evidence that if one strongly believes in the benefi ts of ingesting a substance, it will make you feel better even though in fact it leaves the body without doing anything benefi cial at all.

Other people just cannot be bothered to claim their money back after they

fi nd out that they are wasting their cash. In the meantime, clever advertising

playing on people’s fears and desires supports a multi-billion industry of “health products” that are of question-able benefi t and largely unnecessary if people would adopt a better lifestyle.

The Canadian government has been rather lax in requiring scientifi c evidence of health benefi ts that are claimed by food manufacturers. This is in contrast with the European Union, where so far every application for a health claim label has been refused on account of lack of evidence that it works as claimed.

I will just touch on two of these claims.In the Canadian print media and on

television, we regularly see images of very healthy appearing people promot-ing probiotics, leaving the erroneous impression that their healthy appear-ances are due to the use of high concen-trations of these live yeasts and active bacterial cultures in specifi c brand-name products.

As far as I know, there is no harm in buying probiotics other than the harm to your pocketbook.

However, health-wise, I suggest that you benefi t equally if you stick to basi-cally the same natural organisms that are commonly found in a variety of regular yogurts, cheeses and other dairy products. Your pocketbook may like that better, too.

Either way, they are thought to help balance the hundreds of different intes-tinal organism species, each of which

can be present in the millions. It is con-ceivable that in restoring or maintaining that balance, one could prevent diarrhea and other digestive tract disturbances. But these health benefi ts are not fi rmly established.

Other advertisements claim the benefi ts of prebiotics. No, this is not a spelling mistake and the one-letter dif-ference in the words pro- and prebiotics refers to two very different substances. Confusing? Yes.

In contrast to probiotics, the prebiotics are soluble fi bers and not live organ-isms.

Probiotics are great food for the ben-efi cial bacteria living and multiplying in the gut. In theory, that would lead to the same results as are claimed for the pro-biotics. Based on that theory, these fi -bers are added to many processed foods, and since they are not fully digested, will help to make you feel full.

Instead of consuming expensive processed foods with added probiotics, it makes much more sense to eat a good variety of lots of fruits and vegetables.

You will then get all the prebiotic fi bers your body needs and in a much healthier form.

Moreover, you will get all the neces-sary vitamins and minerals without hav-ing to resort to supplements. The end result may well be that not only you look and feel better, but your bank account may look healthier as well.

Dr. Marco Terwiel is a retired family physician who lives in Maple Ridge.

Day after day they show up in the heat and cold, subject to scrutiny of the secret police, demanding democracy, to have a

vote that counts and to make their living free from corruption.

The heroic Egyptians continue to amaze the world.

Since Jan. 25, they have risked their lives and those of their families to fi ght corruption and rid their country of a dictator and oppressor.

It’s a struggle that’s gripped the world in real time and can only be compared with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 that marked the end of the Iron Curtain.

In Egypt, dictator Hosni Mubarak is, for all in-tents and purposes, done. While he refused to step down completely on Thursday, despite the anticipation of millions who’ve awaited his de-parture, his announcement that he’s transferring powers to the vice-president to await elections in September, is also a victory.

While he may technically may still have the title, Mubarak is no longer in control. In the past few weeks, he’s made concession after concession. That trend won’t stop until he’s gone completely.

Providing there isn’t a bloody reaction of inhu-man scale, the people of Egypt, who’ve already tasted freedom and self-determination, won’t let up until there’s no trace of Mubarak and his henchmen.

It’s a lesson we should mind in comfortable Canada: Free elections, democracy, a clean gov-ernment, freedom of expression, never should be taken for granted, even here.

Each generation must ensure this torch is passed to the next.

To Egypt, your liberation is at hand.The world salutes you.

Perusing the various op-tions and plans presented, I must say that there was nothing there that spoke to me, all more uninspir-ing that the other. Clearly, if there was one it would stand out immediately as the contender for fur-ther consideration.

We are not there yet and the reason for that is the basic questions have not been put forward to define the terms of reference. Some of these might be:

• What is the geographic area to be studied? Given the poor performance of the south side of Albion, why was it not included in the study area?

• What are the key is-sues or goals that should be addressed?

• Is job creation a prior-ity? We all know that this is a most important as-pect, so why not include the derelict south side and re-invent it?

• If keeping good qual-ity agricultural land in our ‘bank’ is important, why pave it over when the south side is begging? The ag lands are not the issue,

jobs are.• I’ll say it again, the key

to preserving agriculture land resides on the south side.

• If we want to maintain and possibly expand the recreational lands, why redevelop that side? Let’s keep it for future expan-sion.

• If we want to expand on the exhibition multiplex idea, why not develop the south side? Let’s keep some land for future ex-pansion.

• Why was the West Coast Express not identi-fied or connected or used

as a catalyst on any of the options? This is the most important piece of infra-structure in this area and not taken into consider-ation. I am totally baffled. Any plan for the Albion north or south has to take this as a key component.

Ideally, a new station should be located at the centre of gravity, probably at 105 Avenue, as this rep-resents the main north-south connector. I know it needs an overpass, or un-derpass, but all can be re-solved. Let the engineers figure that out – and they would.

The plan I developed along with Claus Andrup for the Albion waterfront was never meant to com-pete with downtown, but to create a new neighbor-hood with some services, but most of all create a sense of place, possibly an attraction that would draw folks from beyond our dis-trict borders.

By the way, the village on the sketch used up only 20 per cent of the area, or 10 per cent of all Albion land, north and south, so close to 75 per cent was for busi-ness park and industrial producing– conservatively around 3,000 jobs.

Imagine young families moving into townhouses or condos and being able to walk to work, bring the kids to school without taking the car and min-gling with visitors at the bistros in the evening.

This is about creating a lifestyle, and jobs.

All of the above is offered without any political affili-ation, nor in the pocket of any land owner nor at the service of any developer, just as I believe, a basic and sound planning opin-ion.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Hammond Rd. proper-

ty split in 4 (The News, Feb. 9).

Many thanks to Mayor Don MacLean and Couns. John Becker and Doug Bing for doing the right thing and opposing the rezoning on Hammond Road, which passed with the votes of Couns. Bruce Bell, Tracy Miyashita, Gwen O’Connell and Deb Walters.

The larger lots on the south side of Hammond Road between Blakely and South Bonson and the com-

munity should not be abused by muddle-headed think-ing. They are located on a very high traffi c route that should not be bastardized by small-lot development.

There is no rear lane ac-cess to properties along Hammond Road, yet four councillors thought it made sense to put four new homes on midget lots and at the T-intersection of North Bon-son and Hammond Road, no less.

Obviously not enough was learned from the sub-division of larger lots into

two on the north side of Hammond Road in the 19300 block. At that time, we con-ducted traffi c counts and had the support of all but one property owner in oppo-sition. That council ignored us – the people who live on Hammond Road. Today, we live with more driveways, more vehicles needing to park along and to turn onto and off Pitt Meadows’ busi-est single-family street.

My neighbours across the street can most often not see cyclists and higher speed westbound traffi c as

they leave their driveway because the adjacent small-lot houses need to park sev-eral vehicles on Hammond Road. We knew this could happen and said so. council did not listen.

I’m paying attention and I hope others are too – plan-ning, zoning and rezon-ing require very careful con-sideration. Hammond Road is not just any other street. If some councillors can’t re-spect the differences, they should be replaced.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:To my amazement, while watching news of the devel-

opments in Egypt, I heard a man in a group of people at Tahrir Square, Egypt, say that he wants a parliamen-tary system in his country, and a prime minister.

I acknowledge what the Egyptians have lived through in the past 30 years, as much as my mind can conceive from my western viewpoint. I think to myself, and we here in Canada have a parliamentary system, a prime minister.

Did I realize today when I woke up the peace I had because I reside in a country lead by a government as ours? Looking past complaint and human mistakes, am I thankful for our democracy? For our fearless leader?

I think about this Egyptian man in the square. He wants a parliamentary system, and a prime minister.

I pray the best for the Egyptian people and govern-ment. I sit here today, thankful that, regardless of which election, and how many elections I am invited to, that I can vote.

A good dayFrom: clausandrup, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: No agreement on future of Albion flats (mapleridgenews.com)With or without intent, last night Maple Ridge council did a good thing. In not accepting an invitation by the ALC to have that senior arbiter of ‘all that grows’ review the four Albion concepts, council has accepted its own challenge, and that of staff, to come up with a single concept that would be acceptable to all, including the ALC. It is less of a challenge than one might be asked to believe as the components en-visioned for the Albion number only a few: jobs, recreation, commerce and agriculture. The trick, of course, is how to get the ratios right on a given piece of land – in this case, Albion. It seems to me that jobs top out head and shoulders over all other contenders.An added and, perhaps, less obvious reason why I so like last night’s decision is simply this: with Albion’s future now in disarray, the downtown development has been given an extended period during which it gain momentum and traction. Council’s decision to provide up to $75,000 in benefits to developers in the downtown has now more credence than ever before. All in all, a good day for council and a terrific day for Maple Ridge.

How can we be so blind?From: Rayma, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: Egypt and Albion are similar (Letters, Feb. 4).What an excellent letter. I visited Egypt two years ago and Tunisia just last November. It is amazing how people can eke out a living on land that seems to be nothing but desert. And we think land like that owned by the Pelton family or in Albion is not good to grow anything on? How can we be so blind and not recognize what is happening all around us in the world?India has seen simple staples like onions go up by 80 per cent in price.We have the lowest food prices of any country, but that can and will change very fast. If we are dependant on imports, we are vulnerable and in danger.

A waterfront village proposed for Albion would link to the West Coast Express and would offer a sustainable lifestyle while provid-ing jobs and preserving agricultural land.

RCMP believe a group of people in Maple Ridge hold information that could be crucial to cracking a murder in Mission that’s remained unsolved for the past two years.

Payton Booker Buckner’s body was found on Dec. 31 2008 in a snowbank on the driveway of a house on Laurel Avenue.

Police believe Buckner, 21, died after a fi ght that took place at a house party nearby that was at-tended by as many as 80 people.

An autopsy revealed he was stabbed.Cpl. Dale Carr with the RCMP’s Integrated Ho-

micide Investigation Team said police have spoken to some partygoers, but feel there is a core group of people who have critical information to the in-vestigation have yet to come forward.

People from Maple Ridge and Coquitlam attend-ed the party, the said.

“We feel they have fi rst-hand, intimate knowl-edge of the incident. To protect someone that has committed a crime as senseless as this one is un-acceptable,” Carr added.

“Holding on to information about a homicide is a heavy burden to carry. Now is the time to unbur-den yourself of that information and come forward with the full details regarding the murder.”

Buckner was a graduate from Hatzic Secondary School and had minor “brushes” with the law.

Carr said Bucker was targeted by a group of peo-ple who are responsible for his murder.

“We believe the altercation was not initiated by Buckner at all.”

• Anyone with information on Buckner’s murder is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT. If you wish to remain anonymous call 1-800-222-TIPS.

If council likes the con-cept, another 86 homes will be built in down-town Maple Ridge, on 222nd Street and Brown Avenue.

Focus Architecture is applying to build the four-storey building and is seeking rezoning to allow that on three parcels that will be com-bined for the project.

In reviewing the pro-posal, the district’s advi-

sory design panel made several suggestions, such as creating a plaza corner at Brown and 222nd Avenue, adding more bicycle stalls and reviewing the garbage enclosure and ensuring there are at least 30 cen-timetres of top soil for the landscaping around the building. An infor-mation meeting was held in January, but only one nearby resi-dent attended, while Fo-cus said it will address the design concerns.

The size of the units will range from 465 to 841 sq. feet, and will in-clude bachelor suites and, one- and two-bed-

room suites.According to staff, the

project qualifi es for the Town Centre Incentive Program, which pro-vides a range of incen-tives from relaxed park-ing requirements, fast tracking of applications, as well as fee and tax discounts.

The latest incentive offers builders of green, multi-unit apartment buildings up to $75,000 in direct, non-repayable grants from the dis-trict for building in the downtown.

“In putting this pro-gram together, council has pulled out all the stops,” district fi nancial general manager Paul Gill told council Tues-day.

“It’s a much better program than we used to have,” much better than other municipali-ties, added Mayor Ernie Daykin.

Meanwhile, another 46-unit apartment com-plex that was supposed to be built on the north side of Brown Avenue has yet to start. B.C. Housing is funding a $9.2-million energy smart building tenta-tively called Alouette Heights that will be op-

erated by the Alouette Home Start Society.

The supportive hous-ing project will give peo-ple in drug or mental rehab programs a place to live, under 24-hour supervision. All but the caretaker suite will be bachelor units.

The complex will be a green building and could reach the gold certifi cation under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign.

Some of those fea-tures include, low-fl ow plumbing fi xtures, wa-ter conserving land-scaping and bio swales, or ground depressions, to treat runoff water.

Work on that was sup-posed to start last fall, but has been delayed until some time this spring.

More homes planned for core areaProject qualifi es for new incentives

A Maple Ridge dad is questioning why the municipality took four days to clean equip-ment at a playground which was coated with pepper spray.

Robin Monkman re-ported the incident to police on Saturday night after he noticed a tunnel in a park off Fletcher Street was smeared with a bright orange-red residue.

Monk’s four-year-old son and wife com-plained about stinging eyes and skin when they returned home from the playground that night, even though they stayed away from the tunnel.

Monkman said he called 911 after trying to contact the District of Maple Ridge, but failed to reach a per-son.

A RCMP offi cer re-sponded and told Monkman he would contact the municipal-ity’s operations de-partment after his shift ended Saturday night.

Monkman said the police offi cer told him not to worry and that the smeared residue was probably coffee.

On Wednesday, how-ever, Monkman’s wife called him from the park to tell him his son’s eyes and skin were burning – again.

When he checked the playground tunnel by rubbing his little fi n-ger along its edge, he found the peppery or-ange residue was still inside.

The residue stung his skin when he rubbed it on his wrist.

“I reported it and it wasn’t dealt with prop-erly,” said Monkman.

“It should have not been brushed off.”

The fi re department taped off the tunnel on Wednesday after being

called to the scene.District crews washed

it down the next day, but confi rmed there was no complaint re-ceived about the pepper spray until Wednesday evening.

A formal application to exclude the land would come later.

Ashlie and Daykin were supported by Couns. Al Hogarth, Judy Dueck and Mike Morden in focusing on the development sce-narios.

Dueck said only one scenario should be sent forward and didn’t be-lieve development in Albion fl ats would hurt the town centre.

“I believe quite the op-posite actually.” More shopping will keep people from having to leave Maple Ridge and there’s enough demand in Maple Ridge to sup-port both areas, she said.

Hogarth said Maple Ridge has to be more clear in what it sends to the commission. “I think we can come up with something ex-tremely unique.”

With climate change making weather in-creasingly unpredict-

able, Hogarth ques-tioned if the fi elds in the fl ats are still suitable for farming. “I think we need to do our job. That’s what the public expects from us.”

That doesn’t mean spending more money for further studies, he added.

Coun. Linda King and Craig Speirs were frus-trated by the decision. No option would be ex-cluded by sending all four scenarios, Speirs pointed out.

“Everything is includ-ed.”

Getting the commis-sion’s comment on all four options can help the district avoid the pitfalls it encountered in 2010, when it sent an exclusion applica-tion for the Pelton tree nursery lands on 203rd Street, an application that was turned down by the ALC, he pointed out.

“I would like to get this off the table.”

Speirs questioned how

much more public opin-ion the district needs given the brainstorm-ing sessions and meet-ings that took place last summer and fall.

“If we send forward one proposal and that proposal is rejected, we are hooped for several years,” said King.

“We may not like it, but the Agricultural Land Commission is more powerful than we are, in so far as agricul-tural land is concerned.

“And they have the power to say no and they have said no in the past.”

She found her col-leagues’ decision “in-comprehensible.”

“I’m just completely puzzled and mystifi ed as to why we’re proceed-ing the way we are.”

She said council now has a chance to hear what the land commis-sion has to say, then choose the option that’s most likely to receive ALC approval.

Holland said previ-

ously that developing both sides of 105th Av-enue could effect the downtown’s viability. According to one of the background reports, there only would be de-mand for 303,000 sq. feet of commercial space by 2017 – assuming mall projects planned in Pitt Meadows and on Kwantlen First Nations land east on Lougheed Highway don’t proceed.

However, both Sce-narios 2 and 4 favoured by council call for at least 1.7 million sq. feet of commercial/indus-trial development.

Daykin said large for-mat stores help keep shoppers at home. “Peo-ple are leaving town to shop now.”

In his covering letter to council, Holland said the community and in-terest groups generally supported developing the east side of 105th Avenue, while there was disagreement on what to do with the west side of 105th Avenue.

“Forwarding all sce-narios will accurately refl ect what was heard from all groups at the public forum and will enhance the usefulness of feedback from the ALC.”

Morden called for a full business case for whatever the district decides. “We best have a case that shows what that looks like and what the offset is.”

SmartCentres repre-sentative Nathan Hil-debrandt was happy with the outcome.

“We think they made the right decision.” The company owns several acres on the west side of 105th Avenue, along Lougheed Highway.

Those scenarios will allow the landowners to make their case for developing the land and to address agricultural concerns.

“The land owners have to come up with that story, that justifi ca-tion,” he said.

But Daykin said land-owners have had their say during the consulta-tions last fall. “It’s coun-cil’s discussion.”

Council watcher and candidate for next elec-tion, John MacKenzie was disappointed, how-ever.

All scenarios should be sent because the commission will make the fi nal decision any-ways, he said Wednes-day.

“The citizens better start getting involved in this issue.”

School District No. 42 is conducting a review of its class scheduling, just three years after switch-ing to a coordinated timetable – a move that sparked student protests across the district.

Superintendent Jan Unwin said the district has hired a consultant to review all schedules and timetables, to look at ways of improving learn-ing, reducing absentee-ism, and saving money.

“We know we aren’t going to please everyone, but if we move to any-thing different, we want to have the research to

back it up,” she said. “These are tighter

times, so we have to make sure we are mak-ing smart decisions.”

The district adopted the coordinated linear timetable for all second-ary schools in 2008 un-der former superinten-dent John Simpson. That move sparked outrage by students and teachers at the time, who felt the move was made without proper consultation.

Unwin said she was, and continues to be un-happy with the move to the coordinated time-table.

“For some students, semesters work bet-ter,” she said. “For some classes, semesters work

better. They should have that option.”

Currently, second-ary students take eight courses for the entire length of the school year. Class starts at precisely 8:28 a.m., with lunch run-ning from 11:11 to 11:49 a.m. before school lets out at 2:37 p.m.

One option the district is considering is mov-ing to a coordinated bell schedule at all schools, that would allow each secondary school the au-tonomy to choose either a linear, semester, or quarterly curriculum.

“If it was set up with four blocks per day, you could just combine the blocks,” said Unwin.

However, Unwin said a move to balanced year-round schedule, like that already in place at Ka-naka Creek elementary,

would be unlikely.“If we heard from the

consultant there was an overwhelming desire for it, then we would obvi-ously consider it,” she said. “But my feeling is that it is too much of a change for this commu-nity at this time.

“But from an edu-cational perspective, would it be better? Abso-lutely.”

Unwin said she chose to hire a consultant to conduct the review, rath-er than staff, in order to gain an outside perspec-tive on the issue.

The expense came out of her $40,000 annual dis-cretionary budget, but will cost much less than that, she said.

Unwin said she expects the consultant’s report back by early March at the latest.

Kindergarten registra-tion is up in School Dis-trict No. 42, but its still not enough to make up for the district’s falling enrollment.

As of Wednesday, 857 kindergarten students have signed up for the 2011/12 school year, an increase of 50 to 60 stu-dents compared to this time last year, superin-tendent Jan Unwin said at Wednesday’s school board meeting.

French immersion has proved especially popu-lar, she noted. Forty-two students have registered for Eric Langton elemen-tary’s French immersion kindergarten program, while another 15 are on the waitlist. Laity View elementary had added a third French class af-ter 56 kids signed up for next year, and at Pitt Meadows elementary, 44 students have registered for French immersion, with 18 on the waiting list there.

Meanwhile, only 13 stu-dents have signed up for Pitt Meadows elementa-ry’s English program.

Unwin said the dis-trict’s fi rst priority will be to fi nd French immersion spaces for every child, but that space may not be at the parents’ fi rst choice of school.

There are 962 kinder-garten students cur-rently attending school in School District No. 42. Unwin expects the 2011/12 kindergarten class to number close to 1,000 by the time school starts in the September.

While kindergarten enrollment appears to be trending upwards, the incoming students fell short of making up for the more than 1,200

graduating Grade 12s who will leave the dis-trict at the end of the school year, resulting in a net loss of students.

“That trend will con-tinue for four or fi ve years.” Unwin said. “So even though we’re up, we’re down.”

Kanaka Creek el-ementary, which oper-ates on a year-round balanced calendar, also saw strong registration numbers, with 73 stu-dents signing up for kin-dergarten.

The district’s new en-vironmental school took

in 20 kindergarten stu-dents, as well as 40 stu-dents in Grades 1 to 7. The program, which will offer students an out-doors hands-on curricu-lum, drew fi ve students from out of district, and nine who were previ-ously home-schooled.

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are at odds about where hundreds of little fi sh found ex-pired in the North Alou-ette River almost two years ago actually died.

While environmental-ist Jack Emberly found the fi sh a few hundred metres east of Neaves Bridge, the fi sh kill sup-posedly happened in Maple Ridge, Pitt Mead-ows council heard last week.

“There’s been a bit a misunderstanding as to where this took place,” said Pitt Meadows May-or Don MacLean.

“A lot of people, in-dividual residents of Maple Ridge, feel that it was in Pitt Meadows and I don’t believe it was,” MacLean said at the Feb. 1 council meet-ing.

“The fi sh kill was ac-tually within Maple Ridge’s jurisdiction on the North Alouette,” said Kim Grout, direc-tor of development ser-vices.

She said later that Pitt Meadows initially learned of the incident from Maple Ridge.

“We know Maple Ridge was working on it with their council and there was some discussion on it and it was described to us as upstream.”

Grout said the City of Pitt Meadows was only concerned with the unauthorized installa-tion of the water intake

pump by Golden Eagle Group, also in the North Alouette. The company says there’s no connec-tion between the pump’s installation and the fi sh kill.

An Environment Can-ada report from July 2009 found no cause for the death of the fi sh.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin disagrees about the location of the fi sh kill.

“I’m 99.8 per cent sure that it happened in Pitt Meadows.”

Emberly confi rmed last week that he found the fi sh downstream of the irrigation intake, within Pitt Meadows boundaries.

Geoff Clayton, with the Alouette River Man-agement System, said Grout should recheck the city’s boundaries. “That just doesn’t hap-pen to be true.”

Amanda Balcke, exec-utive-director of ARMS, also saw a dozen dead fi ngerlings on May 25, 2009 near where Golden Eagle Group excavated before installing the 45-centimetre wide wa-ter intake pipe for its cranberry fi elds.

The company has ad-mitted it installed the pipe in early June and pumped 100,000 litres from the river without a receiving a water li-cence from the Water Stewardship Division of the Ministry of Environ-ment.

That’s still under in-vestigation by the At-torney General depart-ment.

Debate on where fish kill originatedWas it in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows?

A mud blowout near the South Alouette River last week was handled well, according to the Alouette River Management Society.

The incident happened last Friday as crews were drilling horizon-tally beneath the river in order to install a sani-tary sewer line exten-sion to Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on 256th Street.

“It was a huge sur-prise, a bit of an embar-rassment to the contrac-tor,” said Geoff Clayton.

On the other hand, he added, there was a good

response.The hole had been

capped with driller’s clay, but after heavy rains, pressure in-creased and the plug fractured, spewing mud on to Alouette Road.

Clayton was called about half an hour after the incident. Crushed rock dams were built to contain the fl ow and four truckloads of mud were vacuumed up dur-ing the cleanup.

He said that what little got in the river was well handled.

Ministry of Environ-ment and Fisheries and Oceans Canada also were contacted.

“It seemed like the system worked.”

Public NoticeThis notice is issued in accordance with Sections 94 and 227 of the Community Charter.

The Municipal Council of the Corporation of the District of Maple Ridge proposes to adopt Maple Ridge Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw No. 6789-2011.

Program details

The Program applies to construction projects meeting certain conditions, in the Town Centre Investment Incentive Areas:

Apartment or Mixed Use Building • construction of:

Four-storeys or higher occurring • within Sub Area 1; or,Five-storeys or higher occurring • in Sub Area 2.

New Commercial construction with • a building permit value greater than or equal to $1,000,000; Commercial Renovation with a • building permit value greater than or equal to $20,000;Commercial Façade Improvement • with a building permit value greater than or equal to $10,000;LEED®-Silver or better or Alternate/• Renewable Energy Projects.

Reasons for and objectives of the program

The District of Maple Ridge has made signifi cant investments in the Town Centre over the last several years, in keeping with Council’s vision to create a vibrant and dynamic Town Centre. An incentive program has been established to accelerate private sector investment in residential and commercial projects to help achieve Council’s vision, and this Revitalization Tax Exemption Program Bylaw is one element of that incentive program.

A Revitalization Tax Exemption Program is established under this bylaw to:

Encourage residential investment • to diversify housing options, to increase density in the Town Centre, to provide a larger base of residents to support commercial activities;Encourage commercial investment• to create a strong local economy and expand employment opportunities for citizens;Increase pedestrian traffi c with • added residential and commercial activity, both to support local business, and to enhance safety; Encourage and support the use • of environmentally sustainable building construction methods and materials, and encourage energy effi ciency and alternative technologies.

How the objectives will be accomplished

It is intended that this tax exemption program will encourage

various types of development to achieve a range of economic, social and environmental objectives, and that growth in the residential and commercial sectors will follow. Increased density will support enhanced commercial activity and increase pedestrian traffi c, achieving greater live/work options, improved safety for individuals and property, and an expanded customer base for local businesses.

Tax exemptions available

The tax exemption is equivalent to 100% of the municipal property tax on the non-market change attributed to an eligible project (pursuant to this bylaw), for three years. For LEED®-Silver or better or Alternative/Renewable Energy Projects, a tax exemption of six years will apply.

---------

A copy of the bylaw and the staff report considered by Council will

be available for public inspection at the Municipal Hall Reception Desk between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm from February 8 toFebruary 22, 2011, Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays excepted. This information is also posted on the District’s websitewww.mapleridge.ca on the Town Centre Investment IncentivesProgram page.

ALL PERSONS who deem themselves affected by this bylaw shall be afforded an opportunity to make their comments known to the Municipal Council by forwarding written submissions to the attention of the Manager of Legislative Services or by sending an email to the Clerk’s Department at [email protected] by 4:00 pm, February 22, 2011. All written submissions and emails will become part of the public record.

Dated this 8th day of February, 2011.

In a few months, hungry eastbound Maple Ridge com-muters will be able to pull in to Golden Ears Cheeseworks off 128th Avenue and pick up a couple kilos of ched-dar, gouda, havarti or even creamy fromage frais, maybe pick up some locally grown veggies, some beer or wine, and come home and enjoy a local meal, from well within the 100-mile diet radius.

The cheese that will be sold in the new building, now under-way on the lush farm-land, just west of 224th Street, couldn’t be more local.

It will be made on site under the supervi-sion of Emma and Jen-na Davison and their mom and dad, Kerry and Lynn.

Kerry’s older brother will be supplying the milk from the 85 Jer-sey cows from his farm next door, a stone’s throw away from the cheese factory.

While Emma will handle the business and marketing, Jenna and Lynn will do the actual cheese mak-ing in a room with a window so custom-ers can see them do their craft.

“This is where the

magic happens. We’ll have racks and racks,” Emma said during a tour.

With certain chees-es requiring certain room temperatures, the 5,500-sq.-foot build-ing will have separate rooms in order to en-sure optimum curing conditions.

The project has been a few years in the mak-ing, said Kerry, whose full-time job is teach-ing heating, ventilation and air conditioning in Langley. Opening day is expected in June.

It’s also been a costly

one, hitting about a million dollars. Fire and sprinkler alarm systems and a failed attempt to use geo-thermal power pushed up costs.

Since the opening of the Golden Ears Bridge in 2009, more traffic, all of them po-tential customers, is flowing on to 128th Av-enue, bringing volume to about 5,300 vehicles a day.

“The location is a huge plus now that it’s joined the Abernethy Connector to the Gold-en Ears Bridge. It just

made fantastic sense to do this value-added thing.

“Since that bridge opened, you can’t be-lieve how busy that got.”

While Golden Ears expects to sell its products to other local retailers, they plan on selling 75 per cent of their produce on site.

In addition to the employee suites on the second storey, the Golden Ears Cheese-works will have a bed and breakfast suite for tourists who want the farm experience.

Cheeseworks in works for farmland


Lynn Davison, co-owner of Golden Ears Cheeseworks Ltd. with her husband Kerry, holds open a cheese vat that will be used to pasteurize milk and make cheese in at their new handcrafted artisan cheese factory at 224th Street and 128th Avenue in Maple Ridge. Emma and Jenna (left) Davison will be running the cheeseworks.

Golden Ears Chee-seworks Ltd. set to open in summer.

The Pitt Meadows Lions’ recent donation of $5,000 helped buy a bariatric bed and mat-tress for Baillie House at Ridge Meadows Hospital.

Baillie House is home

to 148 residents need-ing long-term care. The residential team at Baillie House strive to create a home-like environment to ensure the physical, psycho-logical, cognitive, so-

cial and spiritual well-being of each resident is maintained.

A bariatric bed and mattress helps reduce pressure and prevent wounds, as well as as-sists in treatment.

A bariatric mattress’ low air loss surface as-sists in both preven-tative and therapeu-tic relief and healing of skin wounds, and reduces the risk po-tential for deep vein thrombosis as a result of sustained pressure points when on a regu-lar mattress.

Lions’ donation buys special bed

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

If you really want to make your special person happy, here is something you may fi nd interesting.

The Society of Ameri-can Florists partnered with world renowned researcher Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., of Rutgers University, on some ground-break-ing research to examine the effect of fl owers on human emotion and well being.

Over 10 months, some very interesting results were discovered.

Dr. Haviland-Jones and her research team found that the presence of fl owers triggers happy emotions, heightens feel-ings of life satisfaction and affects future behaviour in a positive manner far beyond what is normally true.

Flowers are a natural and healthful mod-erator of moods.

“Common sense tells us that fl owers make us happy,” says Dr. Haviland-Jones, “and now science shows that not only do fl owers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.”

Here are fi ve main points as condensed from her report.

• Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. Study participants expressed true or excited smiles upon receiving fl ow-ers, demonstrating extraordinary delight and gratitude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups.

• Flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. Study participants reported feel-ing less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving fl owers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satis-

faction.• Flowers make intimate connections.

The presence of fl owers led to increased contact with family and friends.

• Flowers are a symbol for sharing. The study explored where in their homes people displayed fl owers. Once received, arrangements were placed in areas of the home that are open to visitors – such as foyers, living rooms and dining rooms –

suggesting that fl owers make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere.

• People who buy more fl owers are happier. Once learning the study results, participants in all ages and gift categories reported that they would be buying more fl owers in the future.

This may seem like a bit of promotion for the fl oral and horticultural industry, but I

thought these results would be interesting to everyone.

With so much stress and depression in today’s world, it’s great to know that some-thing as simple as a bouquet of fl owers can help to cheer someone up – a nice thought just before Valentine’s Day.

Brian Minter owns and operates Minter Gardens just outside of Chilliwack.

Study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers.

If you have been fol-lowing, you’ll know I have talked about

some proposals made by grade 9 students to over-haul the school system.

Last week I referred to their desire to see a lot more of the teaching and reinforcement of basic subject content to be on-line, that is, they would watch outstand-ing instructors on their own time and then sub-mit assignments to be graded on-line. No need to spend a long day in school and many oppor-tunities to learn at their own speed, on their own time and in their own way (assuming there were several instructors for each lesson with various ways of getting the point across).

That is not to say that the institution of school and the physical presence of a building is not necessary. To the contrary, most students were very much in favour of the school as a drop-in centre, a sports

complex, an arts facil-ity and a place where, if they needed some academic support, they could fi nd it. Almost to a student they wanted to study quietly, on their own and at their own pace. But they all felt it was very important to have a well-rounded education and social life and knew that sports, bands, and various clubs would need a place to meet.

So here is my sum-mary of the educational model they seemed to be leaning towards.

On a typical morning, a teen would sleep until he or she felt like getting up. Once up, time could be spent doing some of the lessons targeted for the day, or not. Some students might cram a week’s lessons into a couple of days and have a job the rest of the week or some might spread them out over time.

Likely sometime in the middle of the afternoon, a general drift towards

the school facility would take place where band practices and sports teams would be scheduled on a calen-dar that all students could access on-line or on their phones.

If a student needed some academic help, had to attend a lab in a sci-ence course, or wanted to write a super-vised exam in a subject that they have completed on-line, that could be arranged either before or after the other activities. The school building would be open from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on a regular basis to allow fl exibility of schedules. Some teach-ers would also be on-line resources that students could access virtually any time of the day and night and students could form discussion groups

on-line with other stu-dents from around the province/country/world

to exchange ideas on mate-rial covered in the course.

The notion of 24-hour “tech support” and global interface opportunities seemed quite reasonable to them, from a customer ser-vice perspec-tive.

Once a stu-dent completed

a credit, he or she would be paid a fi xed sum for it. Like the current system, there would be a required number of credits to graduate over a variety of disciplines. But since every student could access every course in the province, there would be a lot more choice. Students could do one course at a time in a condensed fashion or could take three or four at a time similar to a semestered program now.

The use of on-line scheduling of activities like student council or various interest clubs appealed greatly to them. They envisioned being able to get up in the morning, look at the school calendar and plan their study time, social time, athletic time, arts time and leadership opportunities as they wished, obviously with some limitations on per-sonal fl exibility, but with much more freedom than they currently have sitting in classes most of the day.

Eventually, I got them to consider the notion that perhaps this kind of freedom might be a bit much for some students, particularly the youngest high school students like them. They did think this might be a problem initially, but felt that once students got rolling with indepen-dent learning skills, in combination with some restrictions that would hold students who are not doing anything accountable, students would respond to a loss of freedom.

Those not completing work at a reasonable pace would be required to show up at the school for classes, albeit the same on-line classes, but with a teacher present to ensure they were do-ing the work.

In the end, we’d looked at a novel way to ap-proach making educa-tion, or more accurately schooling, more relevant to students.

This time of year, you can’t turn on the TV or look at

a newspaper without seeing ads telling us what we need to do for Valentine’s Day to show people how much we love them.

Usually these involve spend-ing a great deal of money, stressing that if you really care about the per-son, then you’ll spend lots of money showing them just how much.

It’s great to be able to show the people around us that we love them, but buying jewelry or fl owers and focusing on one specifi c day aren’t necessary.

Some people fi nd Val-entine’s Day depressing. maybe they are alone or feel stuck in an unhappy relationship.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

We all have many different signifi cant rela-tionships in our lives.

Our relation-ships can be happy and healthy but still have struggles. It’s how we deal with those struggles which affect our relation-ships that either makes or breaks them.

Anger and bitterness create walls and cause a lack of vulnerability, which ultimately breaks down our relationships.

Taking the time on a regular basis to show or tell our loved ones how we feel about them makes the bond between us stronger. I can disagree with someone I love without ending the relationship if we know our relationship is solid.

My husband and I have determined that

no matter what our marriage is, ‘till death do us part’. Does that mean that it’s perfect? No, but it means that we won’t give up on each other even when things are tough.

My children know that no matter what, I will always be there for them. That doesn’t mean they’re always perfect, but they know they have a safe place where they are loved and accepted and corrected, when need be.

I have made it a prac-

tice to tell my children every day that I love them. I never want them to be uncertain of where they stand with me.

We have a Heavenly Father who loves us. He loves us in a way that cost Him everything. He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross for us, to take the punishment that we deserve, so that our sin wouldn’t keep us separated from God.

When we know Jesus as our Saviour, it doesn’t mean that life is perfect, that we no longer have

diffi culties and strug-gles. But it does mean that we have Someone who loves us uncondi-tionally, is always there for us and corrects us when we need it.

If you don’t know about His love for you, why not read His love letter to you, the Bible.

If you want to tell someone you love them, don’t wait for a special occasion. Life is too short, too much is unex-pected. Tell them today.

May this be your best Valentine’s Day.

High Way Church.

But there were many questions still coming up and much debate about the possible solutions to them.

This semester, I am starting the course with a new group of students with this educational design project as a central theme of their work.

I’ll be interested in seeing what more time and more thought produces from all of us.

Acts of Faith Colleen Shearing

WILD SALMONISN’T INFINITE

If everybody in the world ate a wild salmon every time they got a salmon craving two

things would happen. Wild salmon would go extinct and there’d be an international dill

and lemon shortage. Salmon farming supplements the world’s supply of salmon, feeding millions and taking pressure off of

wild salmon stocks. Pressure that, unchecked, would eventually lead to the

destruction of wild salmon.

SALMON FARMERS PAY IT FORWARD

Salmon farmers rehabilitate an area of sea floor that is larger or provides greater value

than the amount covered by any salmon farm. These rehabilitation zones offset any potential impact a farm may have and they help improve and protect water quality and ocean ecology. Over time they will also build

up BC’s stock of potential salmon habitats—not just for farmed salmon but

wild salmon as well.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH SEA LICE?

There are a lot of questions surrounding sea lice; one of the most common is ‘What are they?’ Sea lice are a naturally occurring external parasite that live on many species of wild fish including salmon. They’re not

harmful to grown Pacific salmon, but young salmon are vulnerable to them. The concern regarding salmon farms is that, even though the salmon that are raised on a farm all enter

the water completely free of sea lice, it’s possible for them to carry sea lice that are transferred to them by wild fish. These lice could then in turn be transferred to young

wild salmon. To combat this salmon farmers test their fish regularly to ensure that they

don’t harbour high numbers of sea lice. In the unlikely event the sea lice count

reaches elevated levels a veterinarian can prescribe a medication to be added to the salmon’s food called SLICE. This rids them of sea lice and is used only as a last resort to protect the health of the farmed salmon and as a preemptive measure to protect young wild salmon who may pass near a

farm. SLICE is also never present in a fish that is going to market. Any fish who have been medicated must go through a waiting

period before they are harvested to ensure the medication has left their systems.

THERE’S MORE TO SALMON FARMING THAN TAKING CARE

OF SALMONSalmon farmers are good stewards of the environment. They have to be—without a healthy marine habitat, they wouldn’t be in business. That’s why salmon farming is one of the most strictly regulated agricultural businesses in the province. All BC salmon farmers monitor water quality and must

produce regular environmental reports on sea-floor health. These reports are

monitored to ensure farm sites, and the entire coast, remain beautiful and

productive for years to come. That’s good for the environment and it’s good for business.

PROTECTING WILD SALMON STOCKS ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE.

IT’S MARINE BIOLOGY.

The aging Pattullo Bridge might be refur-bished rather than re-built in order to save money and avoid a con-troversial decision to charge tolls on it.

Despite TransLink’s 2008 decision to build a new six-lane bridge, the provincial government has ordered a pause in design work while its own engineers consider whether a fi x-up might suffi ce instead.

“The province wanted to come in and look at other options potentially

for rehabilitating and expanding the existing structure, as opposed to building a new one,” said TransLink spokes-man Ken Hardie, adding Victoria’s aim is to avoid tolls.

“Obviously if you can get a facility you don’t have to toll, that’s a good thing.”

TransLink has listed tolls as the only apparent way to pay for what it ex-pected to be a $1-billion-plus project. But poten-tial tolls on the Pattullo have been a lightning rod for criticism from motor-ists and politicians, many of whom say it’s unfair to toll every bridge into

Surrey.Tolls on the Golden

Ears, Port Mann and the Pattullo bridges would force drivers who want a free crossing of the Fraser River to detour south to the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Successive transpor-tation ministers have pledged to explore non-tolled options.

Public meetings had been slated in New Westminster and Sur-rey last fall on how the new Pattullo would con-nect to area roads. They were abruptly cancelled with little explanation, although Hardie said at the time there was “no question” a new bridge is needed. He now says offi cials at the transpor-tation ministry simply want to see if there’s any alternative that has been overlooked.

“They’ve got some pretty bright people at the Ministry of Transpor-tation in the engineering

side,” he said.Hardie said the prov-

ince also wants Trans-Link’s justifi cation of the need for six lanes, which he said is in part to en-sure effi cient connec-tions to the North and South Fraser Perimeter Roads.

Hardie said the public meetings will likely be rescheduled for June. It’s not clear how many lanes a refurbished Pat-tullo might end up with.

The 73-year-old bridge is 12 metres wide, far tighter than the mini-mum 19-metre width for a four-lane bridge built to modern standards today.

Twenty-eight people have died in fatal crashes on the Pattullo or its ap-proaches from 1986 to 2005, when TransLink began nightly centre-lane closures to reduce the risk.

The new bridge is sup-posed to be built just upstream of the existing one.

TransLink may install digital billboards on some of its properties to pull in more cash.

The idea is under con-sideration by the Trans-Link board, which was recently briefed on the potential.

Spokesman Ken Har-die said the transpor-tation authority will look at what locations might be suitable for billboards, particularly electronic ones.

“We owe it to every-body to have a good look at it,” he said. “Ev-ery dollar we raise that way is a dollar we don’t have to raise from taxes and fares.”

TransLink already raises at least $9 million a year through adver-tising but aims to pull in even more.

LED billboards have brought big-screen video-style outdoor ad-vertising to select spots

in Vancouver and the North Shore.

The City of Surrey has also approved digi-tal billboards for the ap-proaches to some of its bridges.

Hardie stressed the concept is in its early stages and had no de-tails on how much rev-enue could be earned or where TransLink might install billboards.

“We have many, many locations where there’s high traffi c, with many people going by,” he said.

But TransLink could conceivably look at park-and-ride lots, ex-teriors of SkyTrain sta-tions and even places where overhead rapid transit guideways cross major roads.

Canada Line operators previously sought to in-stall digital billboards outside rapid transit stations in Richmond, but the idea was reject-ed in 2009 by council, with the mayor calling the displays hazardous

to vehicle traffi c.The Richmond pro-

posal involved 10-by-10 foot LED screens at two stations as well as 360-degree digital information kiosks at ground level.

Existing displays in Metro Vancouver in-clude 11-by-22 foot LED billboards outside B.C. Place Stadium and larger 14-by-48-foot dis-plays installed by the Squamish Nation on reserve land at the ap-proaches to the Burrard and Lions Gate bridges.

Lamar Transit Adver-tising president Byron Montgomery confi rmed he is advising Trans-Link on the matter but could not comment fur-ther.

TransLink also re-cently added advertis-ing to its monthly tran-sit passes.

Hardie said riders “grumbled a bit” but the ads bring in $84,000 a year, enough to pay for the printing of the passes.

Pitt Meadows secondary Grade 12 student Martin Duckhorn is off to Simon Fraser University next season after receiving a scholarship to play for the Clan’s NCAA Division II football program.

Martin Duckhorn doesn’t have much time for stereo-types.

When he’s not on the football fi eld or in the gym, the Grade 12 student at Pitt Meadows secondary is too busy studying to take much notice. His grades are consistently As and Bs, and is an honours stu-dent at the school.

Still, as the Pitt Meadows Ma-rauders senior football team’s star linebacker and tight end, some people will occasionally assume he’s nothing but a dumb jock.

“That really annoys me,” Duck-horn says. “Some people think just because you play football, you can’t be smart.”

He is doing much to tear down that particular stereotype.

Last Thursday, Duckhorn offi -cially inked a lucrative scholarship with the Simon Fraser University

Clan football program, which will see him studying free of charge on Burnaby Mountain for the next four years while playing in NCAA Division Two.

It’s a rare opportunity for a kid from Pitt Meadows, and no one knows this better than Duckhorn himself.

“It’s humbling,” he says of the op-portunity. “I really want to make the most of it.”

Duckhorn says he plans to be-come a doctor someday, and will likely study pre-med at SFU. It’s not the typical career choice for a scholarship football player, but then he is hardly a typical football player.

“I want to be able to help people,” Duckhorn says. “I think it helps take away from the image of the big, dumb jock, too, and that’s a good thing.

“The time of the dumb athlete is over.”

He has had his struggles with grades, he admits, but the lessons of focus and hard work he’s learned on the fi eld have helped him in the classroom.

Betting against Duckhorn is ill-advised, however. He has a con-sistent habit of making those who

doubt him eat crow.Since the age of 10, Duckhorn

has known that he would be a foot-ball player. However, it took time to convince some of those around him.

“A lot of people told me I wasn’t good enough,” he said. “Friends, coaches, even some family.

“But that just motivated me.”In 2009, Duckhorn was cut from

the B.C. all-star team despite be-ing one of the top tacklers in the province. He felt the decision was unfair, and he vowed to make the selectors realize their mistake in 2010.

He did just that with a stunning 2010 season that saw him named to the B.C. AA all-star team at line-backer.

Duckhorn said his scholarship is a testament to his teammates on Marauders as much as it is a prod-uct of his own abilities.

“I wouldn’t have this without them,” he says. “By me going [to SFU], I feel like I’m bringing the whole team with me.”

Duckhorn credits much of his success to the four years he spent with the Marauders.

Duckhorn remembers one prac-tice where head coach Dave Hol-

leran, a former receiver with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, was riding him pretty hard. Holleran eventually dragged him off the fi eld, and Duckhorn asked him why he was being singled out.

“He said I was one of two guys on the team that were good enough to play college football, so don’t [screw] it up,” Duckhorn said. “That was the fi rst time it was re-ally apparent that I had a chance.”

The other player Holleran re-ferred to was Malcolm Williams, who recently signed a basketball scholarship to play for the UBC Thunderbirds.

While Williams won’t be continu-ing his football career, it won’t be

for lack of ability.“I’ve been standing in his shadow

since I was 10 years old,” Duckhorn says. “I thank him for that. He re-ally pushed me, and that healthy competition helped me be a better player.

“I think it helped both of us.”The support hasn’t ended at the

sidelines, however, and Duck-horn’s family has played a pivotal role in his football career thus far. His mom, Suellen Larsen, was the team’s medic, while his step-dad, Victor Larsen, is the team’s unof-fi cial photographer.

“He’s come to every game I’ve played, he took me to the hospital when I was hurt, he helped put together my scholarship pack-ages together,” Duckhorn says. “He man not be my biological dad, but he’s my dad. He’s always been there for me.”

His sisters Kori, Lacey, and Jen-nifer, meanwhile, have been his biggest cheerleaders, while his brother Andrew may be his big-gest fan.

“When you look at the number of people who get the opportunity to play NCAA football, it’s a pretty small group,” he says. “It’s hard not to feel humbled by that.”

The Junior Adanacs are com-ing to Maple Ridge.

Not the Minto Cup-winning B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League franchise from Coquitlam, which is currently up for sale, but four of its players: Chris Seidel, Riley Loewen, Garrett McIntosh, and Garrett Stick-ler.

The four members of last year’s championship Adanacs team were all drafted by the Maple Ridge Burrards Tuesday night in the first four rounds of the Western Lacrosse Associa-tion draft.

Head coach and general manager Daren Fridge said he was pleased with the pieces he picked up, however, there was no intent to target Adanac players.

“It’s funny how it worked out

that way,” said Fridge. “I was very happy with the draft, as far as filling our needs, we did very well.”

The Burrards claimed Adan-acs netminder Seidel with their first round pick, taking him fourth overall. At six-foot-three, 240 pounds, the 21-year-old will slot in behind return-ing goaltender Ron Schibild, winner of the WLA’s 2010 o u t s t a n d -ing goalten- d e r award.

“Ron has committed to be-ing available for 13 games for us this season,” said Fridge. “Chris should get at least four or five starts, which is pretty good for a rookie. Depending on how things go, he could get more.”

Loewen had 44 points in 16 games Adanacs and the Burn-aby Junior Lakers last season, scoring 26 goals in that span.

“We were surprised he was still available when he was, we had him going much higher on our list,” said Fridge. “His out-

side shot is not where it could be, but he is a crease-man, and he really gives us some offen-sive depth on the left side.”

Loewen’s offensive talents will come in handy this sea-s o n after Fridge r e - v e a l e d

star for-w a r d J o e l

Dalgarno likely won’t

be available this season due

to work and school commit-ments. Fridge said Dalgarno is expected to return for the 2012 season, however,

The Burrards passed on Ma-ple Ridge native Jarrett Toll to select Loewen. Given the of-fensive hole Dalgarno leaves in his absence, Fridge said he couldn’t justify picking up a defenceman instead of Loe-wen.

Fridge wouldn’t rule out the possibly of trading for Toll in the future, however.

The Burnaby Lakers selected Junior Adanacs team captain Matt Beers with the first over-all pick.

5 IN MEMORIAM

Cecil R. BowmanJune 3, 1924 ~ Feb 15, 2006

Just a thought of sweet remembrance,

Just a memory sad and true,

Just the love and sweet devotion,

Of one who thinks of you.

It’s been 5 years

Your loving wife Shirley and Family

Laura Caldovino

Our beautiful angel in the sky

June 23, 1980 ~ Feb. 14, 2010

For many of us we fi nd it hard to believe 1 year has passed. We’ve celebrated many holidays, birthdays and a new baby but even though we felt you near and in our hearts these special days will never be the same without you. There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t think about you. There are still many tears and heartbreak but our memories of you still live on and somehow you manage to put a smile on our faces. You were a fi ghter, a woman of great courage strength and determination. You showed us all what never giving up truly means. Now your looking down at us and I hope we can make you as proud as you made us. We miss you so much. You will be forever loved and remembered.

From the words of your little man:

“My mom is everywhere, from the fl ashlight in the

sky to the snowfl akes fl oating by”

You may be gone but never forgotten. Love your family

Come gather and remember Laura on her 1 year anniver-sary at Foxs Reach Pub on Sun. Feb. 13 at 4pm.
