maple ridge pitt meadows news - wednesday, november 10, 2010 online edition

Every evening meeting of the Dis-trict of Maple Ridge council, the proceedings start with an opening prayer from a local clergyman, asking for guid-ance in the deci-sions that eve-ning.

Maple Ridge could be the only place in Canada that still begins meetings that way, says Coun. Craig Speirs.

And while a motion by fellow councillor Linda King is proposing to end that tra-dition, Speirs sees a value in the prayer time. He likes the moments spent in prayer or refl ection because it allows people to focus on the eve-ning’s events and contemplate the responsibilities they have.

Maple Ridge and the Albion Community Association have put a deal together in which the district will get the land and the old Albion hall, while the equivalent cash will be socked away to be used for a new hall or meeting place somewhere in

Albion.The deal should be inked with-

in a month, says Don Cramb, recreation manager of support services.

“They’re not able to provide the services to the community that they want to,” Cramb said of the community association, adding the building now is just usually rented out.

The association, which has only a handful of members, is about 30 to 40 years old.

Once the district takes posses-sion, the jig will be up for the

Stewart School of Irish Dance. The club will have to fi nd a new home, though members have been told that for a while, Cramb said. Dance instructor Magdalene Stewart has been teaching kids there for the past decade.

It’s the only regular activity taking place in the hall, built in 1923.

According to an inspection report, the building is in good structural condition, although there is bat dung in the attic. The heritage value hasn’t been

studied, but the building isn’t on the district’s heritage list.

Some renovations and upgrad-ing would be required if the dis-trict was to let the public use the building, but there’s no money identifi ed for that in the budget, Cramb said.

Albion resident Elizabeth Tay-lor, whose daughter is in the dance class, wanted to know why the public hasn’t been involved and pointed out the Albion Com-munity Association doesn’t rep-resent the entire community.

A woman attacked by a ram Sunday in Maple Ridge was taken to hos-pital with injuries to her back.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department was called to a property in the 11700-block of 256th Street around 11 a.m. to assist paramedics.

The male sheep, which weighed approximately 350 pounds, butted the 41-year-old woman in the back.

Fire chief Dane Spen-ce said she also sus-tained injuries to her hip and suffered some chest pain.

Although they both served in uniform for the Canadian

Armed Forces, Sandra Wil-liams and Lloyd Gaudette’s experiences during the Second World War could not have been more differ-ent.

As a servicewoman, Wil-liams spent most of the war years stationed on remote bases all over the country as a wireless op-erator, helping to protect the home front.

Gaudette, meanwhile, was on the front lines with the Allied forces, fighting to liberate southern Italy.

However, both served their country with distinc-tion, and both help con-tribute to the Allies vic-tory, as did more than 1.1 million Canadians in the Second World War. Close to 45,000 gave their lives, while another 55,000 were wounded in action.

The two Maple Ridge residents are among the 35 men and women who are being recognized in Honour, a book commemo-rating the contributions of Canadians during the Sec-ond World War.

Inspired by the 2010 death of Canada’s last First World War veteran in January, the book is be-ing published by Chartwell Seniors Housing.

“We realize an incred-ible amount of history re-sides with us,” said Brent Binions, Chartwell’s presi-dent and CEO of seniors housing.

Williams, Gaudette and the other veterans fea-tured in the book are resi-dents of Chartwell’s facili-ties.

Gaudette said he was a little surprised when he was asked to take part in the project,

“But it’s nice, you know,” he says. “It makes you feel like you did something worthwhile, like it meant something.”

The spritely octogenar-ian lost most of his left leg below the knee in 1944

when stepped on a “shoe mine” in Italy.

Where there was once flesh and bone, metal and plastic have taken its place.

“It hasn’t slowed me down one bit,” he says. “Heck, I’d even go danc-ing.”

Gaudette signed up for the infantry in 1943 at the age of 22 and was soon shipped off to North Afri-ca with 48th Highlanders of Toronto as part of the reinforcements for the Al-lied invasion of Italy.

“The Italians were happy to see us,” he says. They viewed the Allied troops as liberators, and that atti-tude saved Gaudette’s life on at least one occasion.

While clearing out a town with his men, Gaudette entered the front room of a house with his Tommy gun pointed at the floor. In the opposite corner of the room, an Italian man hold-ing a rifle instantly threw his hands up, despite hav-

ing the drop on him.“If I had been a German,

that would have been the end of me,” says Gaud-ette.

The fighting in Italy was fierce and near constant. In the cities, snipers hid around every corner. In the country, mines and heavy artillery were a constant threat.

Death was omnipresent, and Gaudette and his men did what they had to do to survive.

“You’d shoot a guy in battle and think he could have been your best friend in peace time,” he says. “He’d never done anything to you, really.”

Gaudette spent close to a year in an army hospital in Italy before being healthy enough to return home.

On Christmas Eve 1944, his family received a tele-gram from the Canadian military, saying he had been wounded in battle, and was gravely ill.

“That gave them a scare,” he says.

“But I wasn’t ill at all, I just lost my leg. I was fine.”

Gaudette returned to Italy around five years ago, and visited many of the towns where he had fought so many decades earlier. In the cemeter-ies dedicated to fallen Al-

lied soldiers, nearly every name triggered a memory.

“We left a lot of men back there,” he says. “It was nice to see they took such good care of the graves.”

While Gaudette was serving on the front lines, hundreds of thousands of men and women were sup-porting the troops at home in Canada.

Williams was just 19 years old when she left home against her father’s will to join the war effort in 1942.

“Dad wasn’t too happy,” she says. “I’m not sure if he ever forgave me for go-ing.”

She was one of the 50,000 Canadian women to serve in the armed forces in the Second World War, a de-cision borne out of equal parts duty and wander-lust.

“It was an adventure,” she says. “I was young and I wanted to get out of the house, so why not.”

Williams bounced around

the country for the dura-tion of the war as a wire-less operator, specializing in Morse code.

As a servicewoman, she was thankfully spared the horrors of the frontline. But her contributions on the home front were every bit as critical to the war ef-fort.

After basic training in Ot-tawa, she spent six months in Montreal learning her trade.

No sooner than she fin-ished her wireless train-ing, she was shipped off to an RAF station in Sas-katchewan to teach Eng-lish bomber crews what she had just learned her-self, only weeks earlier.

“They were going to make gunners out of them,” she says.

Hundreds of airmen passed through her class-room on their way to the skies over Europe. Many never returned home.

Williams’ next stop was the Coal Harbour seaplane base at the northern tip of Vancouver Island, about 20 km south of Port Hardy. There she spent the re-mainder of the war isolat-ed in the wilderness, send-ing and receiving coded messages for the military.

The base was home to about 200 servicemen, and just 15 servicewomen.

“We were pretty popu-lar,” Williams says with a sly grin. “It was a lot of fun in those days.”

For the most part, life was quiet at the remote base. The most excitement Williams says she saw was when a German U-Boat was once spotted off the northern tip of Vancouver Island.

“It was an exciting time,” she says. “When you’re that young, every thing is so new,” she says. “I’d nev-er even been away from home before.”

“You don’t have to put up with dry eyes. See me for new

advances in dry eye relief.”


Fraser Health has cancelled more than 30 elective cataract surgeries at Ridge Meadows Hospital, in addition to dozens of surgeries at Burnaby General, because of an escalating contract dis-pute with the health re-gion’s opthamologists.

Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser Health’s surgical pro-gram medical director, says the move came after a small group of “rogue” ophthalmolo-gists refused to treat patients at Royal Co-lombian Hospital.

The Fraser Valley Opthamologists Group and Fraser Health have been deadlocked in a contract dispute over the stipend paid to opthamologists on call.

The health author-ity wants to reduce the number of paid emer-gency on-call ophthal-mologists from three to two in an effort to save $160,000, says Blair. The contract expired in April, and since then,

Fraser Health optha-mologists have not been getting paid for being on-call.

As a result, Blair says a small group of optha-mologists are refusing to treat emergency pa-tients at Royal Colom-bian Hospital.

“Our fi rst responsi-bility is to emergency patients,” he said. “And these doctors have re-fused to look after eye emergencies.”

A number of patients with eye punctures, severe infections, and acute glaucoma have had to be transferred to Vancouver Coastal Health because of the job action. As the re-gion’s major trauma centre, every case Roy-al Colombian sees is ex-treme, Blair said.

“Thankfully, no one has lost their sight be-cause of what is hap-pening,” he said. “What we’re proposing works out to about $4,200 per year each ... It’s frus-trating for us that for that amount of money, they’re putting patients at risk.”

However, according

to Dr. Ken Parkinson, an ophthalmologist at Ridge Meadows Hospi-tal and a spokesperson for the Fraser Valley Ophthalmology Group, the ophthalmologists are still treating pa-tients from Royal Co-lombian Hospital, just at other hospitals. He says the ophthalmolo-gists have only refused to conduct assess-ments at Royal Colom-bian Hospital, which isn’t equipped for oph-thalmological surger-ies, and are requiring them to be transferred to hospitals where the patient would end up anyways.

“They can send them to us. We made things inconvenient, and that annoyed some of the hospitals,” Parkinson admits. “But at no time were patients going without treatment.”

The cancelled sur-geries will mean thou-sands of dollars of lost earnings for Parkinson and the other oph-thalmologists affected since they are paid on a per procedure basis.

“I don’t mind the prayer at the beginning of the meeting, but it’s exclu-sive to a certain brand of religion.”

The clergymen who of-fer the opening prayers are provided by the Ridge Meadows Ministerial As-sociation, a collection of protestant churches.

Instead, Speirs sug-gests opening the prayers be extended to Buddhist, Muslim and First Nations spiritual leaders, or make the minute of silence more of a non-denomi-national moment, where people can contemplate the evening’s events.

King introduced the motion to remove the opening prayers from the start of the meetings last week, saying it’s time to dispense with that tradi-tion.

“I want to do it because I feel that it’s no longer appropriate for council to begin like that when we have people of many faiths living in our com-

munity,” she said.Although no one’s

complained, King said it makes her uncomfort-able to hear the Christian prayers at the start of the meeting when there may be other faiths in the room.

She checked with staff at the 22 other munici-palities in Metro Vancou-ver, heard back from all but two, and learned no other council has open-ing prayers, including Pitt Meadows.

Neither does Mission, she pointed out.

“Councils are not started with prayers any-where, I think.”

It’s been on her mind for quite some time and wants it discussed at open council, but isn’t sure what kind of re-sponse she’ll get.

She’s not sure when prayers were discontin-ued at other councils.

“We’re a multi-faith community and we have heard from one faith only and we’re a government.

We’re not a religious institution … so it’s my feeling it’s time for us to change.

“I think we need to talk about it in a public way if we’re going to change it.”

Mayor Ernie Daykin, though, wants to keep the opening prayers. “Would I like to see it stay? Yes I would.”

Until the topic was raised by King, there were no complaints, he said.

“We have First Nations blessings at all of our community events. Am I offended when Willie Pierre [from Katzie First Nation] does it? … no, I think it adds to it.”

Even if people aren’t part of the Christian faith, having a moment for prayer allows for per-sonal refl ection before the start of the meeting, Daykin said.

People don’t have to pray during that time, he pointed out.

“You can stand there

with your eyes open and refl ect about something else.”

As for opening the prayer time to other faiths, “I think that’s a discussion we can have.”

Daykin noted there are no opening prayers at Abbotsford council ei-ther, but the city has set aside a prayer room open to all faiths where people can pray for the city.

A prayer group has been visiting council chambers every Tues-day afternoon to offer prayers for the commu-nity, he pointed out.

Coun. Judy Dueck sup-ports Speirs. “I would rather open it up than get rid of something that doesn’t appear to be an issue.”

She likes taking the time before the meet-ing starts because it re-minds her to focus her thoughts.

If Sikhs, Buddhists or Muslims wanted to offer their prayers, that would be fi ne with her.

Mayor Daykin wants to keep prayer

Parkinson said his pa-tients, many of whom were elderly, were given just a days notice their surgery was being can-celled.

“Fraser Health is run by a tyrannical bunch,” he said. “What’s next? What are they willing to do next? It’s very con-cerning.”

Had the ophthalmolo-gist’s job action actually endangered patients, Parkinson said the health district could have forced them to stop.

“If they felt so strong-ly that we were doing something that was so incorrect and danger-ous, then, legally, there are things they could have done to stop it,” Parkinson said. “But they didn’t do that, be-cause we didn’t do any-thing wrong, and that’s why they are only after our pocketbooks.”

Blair said the can-celled surgeries are be-ing redistributed to oph-thalmologists at other hospitals which aren’t taking part in the job ac-tion. Blair said he hoped the move would get the opthamologists back to the bargaining table.

“This isn’t something we’ve done rashly,” he said. “We’ve tried ev-erything, and it hasn’t worked.”

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – Gor-don Campbell isn’t going to get close to W.A.C. Bennett’s re-cord of 20 years in the premier’s offi ce, but he intends to leave a footprint at least as large on B.C.

Campbell’s sur-prise resignation last week came as I was attempting to sort out his latest reorganization of resource ministries. His comments since then have made me even more convinced that this is the key task he intends to push to the point of no return before he goes.

While the city media obsess over the horse race of potential candidates to succeed Campbell, this much more signifi cant story is unfolding quietly in government offi ces around the province. Thousands of provincial employees are being moved and shaken to build the new Ministry of Natural Resource Operations.

Here’s a partial list of what this minis-try is now legally responsible for: wild-fi re management, Crown land and forest permits, independent power production, road and bridge engineering, mineral and coal titles, resorts and alpine ski developments, fi sh and wildlife manage-ment, drought management, watershed restoration and aboriginal consultation on resource development.

And here is a partial list of what

Campbell intends to see develop through this ministry: the Site C dam, a province-wide network of new mines, forest tenures, liquefi ed natural gas production and export facilities, new independent power projects, and all the roads, power lines and pipes needed to connect them.

This is a wave of industrialization on a scale with Cecil Bennett’s creation of BC Hydro, BC Ferries and BC Rail.

An internal memo circulated to staff in the forest, transportation, environment and other ministries gives assurances that the B.C. Forest Service will cel-ebrate its 100th anniversary as planned in 2012. But by then it will be effectively broken up, divided between the min-istries of forests and natural resource operations, and traditional jobs such as forest enforcement offi cer and conserva-tion offi cer will be merged.

Before this reorganization was an-nounced, I asked Energy Minister Bill Bennett about the government’s plans for a feed-in tariff program for new sources of electricity. Bennett (no rela-tion to the two former premiers) said he intends to have it in place as soon as pos-sible, perhaps by the end of the year.

It will be nothing like the Ontario pro-gram, which heavily subsidizes farmers for putting solar panels in their fi elds, Bennett said. The B.C. program will sub-sidize development of emerging sources, particularly those using wood waste.

“You put a First Nation together with a community that’s lost a bunch of jobs from the pine beetle, together with a form of electricity producing technol-ogy, and as long as you can generate the

electricity for a reasonable price, you might have a winning project,” Bennett said. “That to me is how you encapsulate the feed-in tariff program.”

For years there has been debate about the decline of small communities, loss of industrial jobs and wildfi re management in B.C.’s vast hinterlands. In short, how do you keep smaller, remote communi-ties economically viable, and how do they protect themselves from fi re?

Here, at least, is a plan that offers a way to tackle the huge problem of accu-mulated forest fuel, waste from tradition-al logging, and jobs and energy supply in remote areas. It will be subsidized by the vast majority of electricity users who enjoy the benefi ts of the urban economy.

There will be plenty of talk in the weeks to come about Campbell’s legacy. The income tax cuts, the HST, both are designed to create an environment for private investment and employment.

The resource development plan may be the most important piece of the puzzle.

This week’s question: Was Gordon Campbell’s resignation the right decision for the Liberal party?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

Discussion about development of the Albion fl ats is interwoven with the future of Maple Ridge’s down-town. But it shouldn’t be.

With all the road and sidewalk improvements, and now new tax breaks and other incentives, this coun-cil is bent on attracting commercial investment to Maple Ridge’s downtown.

Much development has already occurred here, with new apartment buildings, refurbished old shops, even a new bank and a Tim Hortons.

Yet, even with the freshly paved roads and planted trees, new light posts and sidewalk mosaics, and ev-erything the BIA has done to spark business interest, the feel around downtown hasn’t changed much. It’s still pretty desolate.

It may be too soon to judge all the efforts, but more still needs to be done before the core becomes a vi-brant place.

Most of the changes that have taken place are superfi cial. Larger wounds still need to be tended to: Haney Place Mall and other depressing centres along Dewdney Trunk Road.

Small business owners can sweep the leaves in front of their shops all they want, but what’s missing is the reason folks drive to Langley, Coquitlam, Ab-botsford and Burnaby to meet their retail needs.

The voting public in Maple Ridge wants big box commercial development.

It could be years before council fi gures out a way to encourage property owners to sell or clear enough space for such development downtown.

And it’s going to take just as long for the density to reach a point where young people want to live down-town. Then the shops will pop up.

Right now, the average age of those who live down-town appears to somewhere north of 60. Young, mo-bile families all live in the surrounding subdivisions, away from the downtown, which suffers because of it. Maple Ridge should have built density downtown fi rst. Now it’s playing catch-up.

Meanwhile, surrounding municipalities are build-ing commercial centres. You can see them.

At the same time, the commercial district in Maple Ridge is a revolving door of loonie stores and sand-wich shops. Our malls have empty spaces. Lots in the downtown have remained vacant for years.

Why is that?Maple Ridge needs to stop putting everything on

hold while waiting for the downtown to fi ll up and move forward.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: The specialization debate (Kine-

cted, Oct. 8).Kerry Senchyna is correct in stating

that there has been little research on sport specialization.

Although the research is limited, it is diverse and studies have been conduct-ed from a variety of perspectives.

A lack of integration of school and community sport programs, expanded out-of-season private leagues, spring leagues and academy programs, as well as coaches that encourage and/or demand an annual commitment as a condition of team membership – often coercing athletes and parents to sign contracts – have contributed to an increase in athletes playing one sport year-round at a young age, to the exclusion of others.

Early sport specialization develops refi ned skills in young athletes. The primary benefi t for athletes to special-izing in a sport early is the correspond-ing increase in skill development from intensive sport specialization. Motor skill acquisition is increased, as well as an increase in musculoskeletal growth with intensive sport special-ization, both resulting in improved performance.

Parents, coaches and athletes see an increase in performance at a young age.

However, early sport specialization is also associated with athlete burnout, resulting from psychological, physical, social or logistical factors.

Early sport specialization is also asso-ciated with growth retardation, puberty delay in females, hampered social and educational development, exploitation, restrictive and controlling relation-ships, and often a uni-dimensional self-concept for children.

Psychological factors, resulting from intensive training and early sport spe-cialization, leading to athlete burnout are a common theme throughout the literature.

Burnout appears to happen when a previously enjoyable experience becomes an aversive source of stress, resulting from psychological factors including pressure and inappropriate expectations by coaches and parents.

Logistical factors such as overwhelm-ing time demands of sport, sole focus of life on sport performance, and confl ict-

ing interests also contribute to athlete burnout.

Studies, such as the ’92 study by Barynina and Vaitsekhovaii, conclude that athletes who begin specialized training later reach international class at the same time. Studies such as their’s declare that early specialization has no performance related advan-tages from a sport growth and development perspective.

A decrease in social oppor-tunities and social isolation can often result from special-izing early in sport. Social contact may become limited to the subculture of athletes they train with.

Several studies have concluded that specialization in high level sport has less meaningful social interaction for athletes. Consequences may include: decreased ability to combat stress due to reduced social support; decrease in fun; and making competing alternative activities where an athlete can spend time with friends more attractive.

Young athletes who become in-tensively involved in a single sport often fi nd themselves with little or no control over their lives. Toffl er et al’s study published in the New Eng-land Journal of Medicine concluded that many high performance sports programs are highly organized and restrictive, and when coupled with family pressures and expectations, hamper a child’s ability to think and act independently.

Young athletes engaged in intensive sports, especially specialized young athletes, may perceive their identity and self-esteem to be related to their participation and success in their particular sport.

If an athlete becomes injured, elimi-nated from a team, or chooses to retire from the sport, this can be problematic.

Excessive sport training can lead to overuse injuries in prepubescent ath-letes. Injuries are caused by repetitive training cycles.

Parents and coaches wield a great degree of infl uence over children and are primarily responsible for an ath-lete’s early specialization in sport.

Studies show that a majority of in-

ternational athletes have multilateral sport backgrounds. Some studies sug-gest that children engage in a variety

of sporting activities and not specialize until their late high school years.

Early sport specialization is not in the best interest of long-term athlete develop-ment. There is a mountain of evidence that points to multi-sport development as being the path to becoming an internationally competitive athlete at the senior levels.

A recent study of male varsity basketball players attending the nine four-year

colleges and universities in Montana, U.S. found that less than 20 per cent were athletes who played basketball exclusively in high school. The vast majority of athletes (81 per cent) had multilateral sport development.

Mr. Senchyna pointed to the multi-sport backgrounds of Steve Nash and Wayne Gretzky. I would strongly suggest that parents, coaches and athletes look to their careers as mod-els to follow. Their participation in a several sports into their high school years served as a foundation for their development into more than just inter-nationally competitive athletes.

In my opinion, to develop an interna-tionally competitive athlete in the con-text of long term athlete development, participation in a variety of sports (multi-lateral sport development) is essential.

Specialization in one sport should wait until the athlete is 15-18 years old.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Another session for Albion (The

News, Nov. 3)As a current resident of Pitt Meadows,

I view the ongoing debate over Albion fl ats with quizzical detachment. I am unlikely to shop there given the avail-ability to me of more convenient shop-ping locally.

Given ongoing exposure of the issue in the locaI press, a few observations do present, however.

As a resident of Maple Ridge for 30 years, I have never seen anything other than rather poor-quality hay farmed in the Albion fl ats. If the land is really so fertile and farming is economically vi-able, why hasn’t somebody done so in the past 30 years?

A development of “small-scale, niche stores”? Have a look at the vacant

storefronts and empty “build-to-suit” parcels in Osprey Village in Pitt Mead-ows. So, where are all the small-scale, niche stores that this development was tailored for?

It is surrounded by bedroom-commu-nity housing (euphemistically termed “transit-oriented housing”) – one would think a bookstore, coffee house, bakery, veggie market or corner store, bordered by a beautiful riverwalk would attract both businesses and customers.

Is this not a similar concept to what is proposed for Albion? A “mixed em-ployment (doing what, exactly, given the proposed use?), ecological hub, wetlands area, transit-oriented resi-dential.”

It doesn’t appear to be working in Os-prey Village – why would anybody want to do the same thing somewhere else if

it doesn’t appear to be particularly vi-able just down the street?

Manipulating the situationEDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Another session for Albion (The News, Nov. 3).

So, the charette process on the Al-bion plan did not get the result council wanted. Council’s solution is to disre-gard it and spend more money, your’s and mine, to hold another charette.

If the result of the second one is dif-ferent from the fi rst, it will be diffi cult for us to believe it was not manipulat-ed by council.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Rock Ridge blocked off again (Letters, Oct. 27).As a homeowner in Silver Valley for 30-plus years, I am in

agreement with Peter Tam regarding the complete lack of will on our local council to deal with this ongoing problem.

When the Silver Valley Area Plan was incorporated into the Maple Ridge OCP eight years ago, we were promised in-frastructure improvements and secondary access to take the burden off of Fern Crescent.

But here we are eight years later still held hostage in our neighbourhood while hundreds of thousands use Fern Cres-cent to go back and forth to Golden Ears park in the summer months. In the northern area of Silver Valley, development was started much later than in the eastern Rock Ridge area, yet they have two accesses there even though the traffi c is a fraction of that on Fern Crescent. Look at 240th Street between Dewdney and the Lougheed Highway – it looks as wide as the Trans Canada Highway. It was a huge cost to taxpayers. There are times that everywhere you go in Maple Ridge there are infrastructure improvements going on. Look at the ongoing improvements to the downtown core. In eight years there has not been one development application turned down in eastern Silver Valley, while not one infrastructure improvement has been completed.

As our taxes go up every year, at many times the rate of in-fl ation – and council appears to have large amounts of money to spend on infrastructure improvements in other areas of Maple Ridge – one can only conclude that, sadly, it is going to take a death while the only access into or out of eastern Silver Valley is blocked to make our council sit up and take notice.

EDITOR, THE NEWS: As I sit sipping my coffee, looking over the downtown

area, once more wondering why again a council is not doing what is necessary for the square blocks in front of me, and make a bustling, vibrant core.

I scan the municipal hall and my hand pauses in mid-air with my latté as I resent the fact that this albatross sits on such valuable real estate, an idea I have mentioned many times. Who includes a visit to city hall in a shopping trip?

I am joined by an old friend who must see the irritation on my face as he suggests those premises could very well house an educational institution or a call centre. When I re-alize what sense that idea makes, I wonder aloud why the powers that be never seem to have such insight as myself and my caffeine-sipping friends. Maybe they should stop paying attention to all those special interest groups, and listen to my more sensible friends, who really care about Maple Ridge development.

Next discussion: the so-called Haney Mall and what should occupy that space.

Won’t need WCE in PoMoFrom: pieinsci, posted on www.mapleridgenews.com.Re: More WCE service way down track (The News, Nov. 5).There will be a significant passenger transfer from the WCE to SkyTrain in 2014, when construction of the Coquitlam Evergreen Line station is completed.In fact, the Port Moody WCE is unlikely to be required at that time because it’s just as quick for the majority of Port Moody passengers to get on the WCE in Coquitlam.


“My concern is there would be no public consultation and that actual residents of Albion were not consulted about it.”

She said if people aren’t allowed to use the building, it will just de-teriorate faster.

But Coun. Judy Dueck said once the district takes ownership, de-ciding the building’s fate would become a public process, just as happens when planning a park.

The parks and recreation mas-ter plan says the Albion area could have a number of public gathering places.

There’s no rush in deciding what to do with the old hall, said Coun. Craig Speirs, council liaison on the community heritage com-mission.

The hall could be “re-purposed” for possible use as a rehearsal site for theatre groups. The building’s wooden fl oor makes it particu-larly attractive for dance groups because it offers some cushioning compared to concrete.

“We’re really good at building sports facilities, but cultural facili-ties sometimes take a back seat.”

Albion community hall, or build-ing a new one, could be part of a larger discussion about the south-east part of Albion focused on 240th Street, said Speirs.

He wanted that included in the Albion fl ats area plan discussion, but was outvoted.

Once the Albion area plan is complete, he wants 240th Street to be studied next. He said such a plan should be based on 500-me-tre radius from Bruce’s Country Market. “Just try to generate something that fi ts on the human scale. It should be a pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood.

“I think there’s opportunity there for all four sides of the inter-section.”

A West Coast Express station has also been discussed for the area near the former site of the Albion ferry.

He supports Claus Andrup’s vi-sion of south Albion that features a small marina along the Fraser River and mixed residential/in-dustrial use for the Albion area south of Lougheed Highway.

Speirs sees the area around Bruce’s Market, on both sides of

the Lougheed Highway, as a new commercial node to serve that area. That could dovetail with the concept plans that so far have emerged from the Albion fl ats planning process, which call for a mixed residential, industrial and commercial use on the east side of 105th Avenue while leav-ing the west side of 105th Avenue virtually untouched because of environmental and agricultural constraints.

Speirs said Albion fl ats is not the place for big box retail.

“What kind of traffi c chaos would that create if they were suc-cessful?”

Such a complex would require a population of 200,000, which Ma-ple Ridge doesn’t have, meaning people would have to drive from elsewhere.

There are other places in Maple Ridge’s core area where land could be assembled for big box stores, he said.

However, he conceded that big box stores always require high-way access, so it would be diffi cult to consider a project on Dewdney Trunk Road.

Now that he knows more about the $11.7-mil-lion sewer line to Maple Ridge’s two prisons, Geoff Clayton is feeling better about the project.

The spokesman for the Alouette River Man-agement Society was concerned the pipeline diameters were being widened to allow for more growth, possibly new suburbs on 256th

Street next to the South Alouette River. But a meeting this week with District of Maple Ridge staff removed those con-cerns.

“We looked at the blue-prints,” Clayton said.

And the design fea-tures are to serve the industrial area at the north end of 256th Street, plus the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women and the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre.

The provincial govern-ment is paying for the line, which stretches from the existing line on Fern Crescent, heads

east beneath the South Alouette River, then along 128th Avenue to 256th Street. A spur line hooks into the women’s prison at the north end of 248th Street.

Because of the steep slopes, the sewer line has to be different diam-eters at different points.

“It’s a relatively sophis-ticated design and there are different dimensions in different sections.”

Clayton asked munici-pal engineering staff if they were sure it’s not being designed for a possible new suburb on north 256th Street.

“They said absolutely

not, and he’s [a devel-oper] been told that.”

Construction is un-derway on the project, which will see “direc-tional” drilling 10 me-tres beneath the South Alouette River. That way, construction won’t affect river fl ow. There’s even a plan in place in case construction cracks the river bed.

The new line, connect-ing to Metro Vancou-ver’s sewage treatment system, ensures the sewage will no longer fl ow into septic systems at the men and women’s prisons, both of which are expanding their pop-ulations.

“We support this. We’ll clean up a growing prob-lem.”

While the province is paying for the sewer line, the district will benefi t by having its industrial area at the north end of 256th Street within reach of the new line, providing the busi-nesses pay connecting fees.

During construction, fi bre-optic cable has been laid in the same trench, allowing the dis-trict to offer high-speed information services to businesses on 256th Street.

ARMS’s River Heri-tage Centre will also be hooked into the new system.

Originally, the cost of the new sewer line was $9.2 million, with the province paying Maple Ridge a $5 million one-time grant, plus annual payments, to make up the total of $9.2 million.

Extra costs because of the complexity of the project raised that to $11.7 million.

Construction is under-way with March the date for completion.

Fraser Regional is in-creasing its capacity by 150 beds, while 100 more will be added to the Alouette Correctional Centre for Women.

If the studies prove out, the Alouette Riv-er sockeye run could ramp up its numbers in a big way, over the next few decades.

“It could become the major run in the Fraser Valley,” said Geoff Clayton, with the Alouette River Man-agement Society.

That’s because after two years of studying the returning sockeye, indications are the fi sh could be hanging around in the lake, rather than swimming to nearby streams to spawn.

If the sockeye turn out to be lake spawn-ers, the habitat of

a 16-kilometre-long Alouette Lake would dwarf that of streams and could see the pro-jected run size go from 60,000 to 200,000.

“It’s very important we fi nd out what depth they’re spawning at,”

Clayton said.So far, they seem to

be hanging around about 20 metres down. They could be spawn-ing at that depth as well.

“We want to know where they spawn,

if they are using the streams or the lake.”

Money from B.C. Hydro’s coastal resto-ration program allowed ARMS and Katzie First Nation to hire LGL to put sonic devices in 20 returning sockeye for the past two years.

The river group has been trying to re-es-tablish the sockeye run after it was wiped out in 1926 after construc-tion of the B.C. Hydro dam at the south end of Alouette Lake.

Since 2005, each spring thousands of sockeye fry are let out over the spillway of the Alouette dam, into the South Alouette River and to the Pacifi c Ocean. When the sock-eye return a few years later, they’re trucked back into the lake to complete their spawn-ing.

Out of the 20 sockeye tagged this summer when they returned to the Alouette, (the de-vices are stuffed down the fi sh’s throat so they stay in their stom-achs), at least 18 are still alive.

The run size would still pale compared to the Adams River, which can number in the millions, but a lake-spawning system would be different.

If the sockeye turn out to be lake spawn-ers, the existing nutri-ent enhancement pro-gram already in place Alouette Lake to build up the kokanee popu-lation could also build the size of the run.

“This is pretty unique stuff. We’re doing a resurrection of a run of sockeye,” Clayton said.

“We’re clearly prov-ing this on the Alou-ette. The extirpation of the run was a disaster and we are struggling like hell to re-establish it again.”

Sockeye spawning in Alouette Lake?If the salmon don’t need streams, numbers could increase 10 times

Contributed

Abby Cruickshank of ARMS, and Aline Clayton and Elmar Plate of LGL check for signals from 20 sockeye in Alouette Lake Wednesday. Hydrophone cables were dropped into the lake to pick up signals from the fish. The sonic capsules show the depth the fish is at, its tag number and water temperature. GPS provides location of fish.

This past June, I gradu-ated from Thomas Haney secondary in Maple Ridge.

Over the summer, my family and I took a cross-country vacation on our way to move me to uni-versity. I am presently studying geography at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ont., birth-place of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, authour of the poem “In Flanders Fields.”

John McCrae was born in Guelph on Nov. 30, 1872, to David and Janet McCrae; he was the second child of three.

McCrae attended the University of Toronto, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1894; in 1898, he graduated from the university’s medical school.

McCrae wrote poetry through much of his life, but especially during his time in medical school. John’s father, David, had been deeply and passionately involved in the military from the age of 20 until he was 70.

With encouragement from his father, John McCrae followed his father’s path to the military with comparable passion.

At age 14, John joined the High-land Cadet Corps, where he won the gold medal for the best drilled cadet in Ontario. He was active in the Canadian military throughout his life, particularly in the Boer War.

In 1914, McCrae resigned from the military to practice medicine

and teach in Canada.In August 1914, Canada entered

the First World War. Though McCrae, now 41, was no longer a young and spry soldier, he felt compelled to serve his country and immediately enlisted. Due to his age, McCrae could not be made a Lieutenant Colonel in this war, which would have seen him command his own artillery brigade. Instead, he was named brigade-surgeon with a rank of major, placing him second in com-mand of his brigade.

Though designated as a non-combatant medical offi cer and, thus, eligible to wear the Red Cross armband to prevent him from being fi red upon, McCrae never did.

It is said that the death of a com-rade and friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, on May 2, 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres, served as the inspiration for McCrae’s famous poem.

Exactly when and how Mc-Crae wrote his poem remains unknown; one story suggests he wrote it on the back steps of an ambulance while staring at Helmer’s grave. Another suggests that McCrae wrote the poem while grieving and trying to pass the time between arrivals of wounded soldiers.

John McCrae is seen by Guelph residents as a local hero of whom they are proud. There was a bit of a local uproar when a televi-sion vignette, broadcast on CBC, displayed John McCrae in Mon-

treal, where he worked for a time, rather than in Guelph. On the site of John McCrae’s elementary school, just down the street from his birthplace, is a new elemen-tary school which bears his name; there is also McCrae Boulevard between the school and McCrae’s birthplace.

John McCrae’s birthplace, Mc-Crae House, is a small limestone house built in 1858. It has been restored on the exterior and trans-formed inside into a museum all about John McCrae.

McCrae house was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1966.

They remember Col. McCrae in Guelph

See McCrae, p16

S t o r y b y K i r s t i J u u r a k k o

Flander’s Fields In Flanders fi elds the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fl y Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

– John McCrae

Nov. 11 not statutory

Parades honour Canada’s war deadCeremonies to remember Canada’s war dead start at 10:30 a.m. in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows on Thursday, Remembrance Day.In Maple Ridge, the parade goes from Branch 88 of the Royal Canadian Legion on 224th Street and Brown Avenue, south along 224th Street to the cenotaph in Memorial Peace Park. Two minutes of silence are observed at 11 a.m. with wreath presentations following.The parade in Pitt Meadows starts just west of Spirit Square for a short procession to the gathering place next to city hall.The ceremonies should be largely complete by 11:30 a.m.

John McCrae was designated as a Na-tional Historic Person in 1946.

Though he was born in Guelph, local residents don’t gener-ally lay sole claim to McCrae, or his poem. Rather he is seen more as a Canadian hero.

“In Flanders Fields” is seen by some as be-ing one of the last real connections to the First World War, especially now that there are no longer any known living Canadian First World War veterans.

In Ontario, Remem-brance Day is not rec-ognized as a statutory holiday, therefore all must be in attendance at work or school; a few businesses and govern-ment offi ces are closed.

In the past few years, some Guelph residents have been noticing Remembrance Day as becoming “less of an event.”

I believe that the lack of recognition of Remembrance Day, particularly in Ontario, where it is not consid-ered a statutory holi-day, is disrespectful. The lack of a statutory holiday does not give citizens the opportuni-ty to attend a ceremony to formally remember those who made the ultimate sacrifi ce for our freedom.

I will still take time out of my day this Remembrance Day to remember all the people – soldiers, their families, medics and others – who gave so much, in some cases their lives, so that Canadians and oth-ers around the world today can experience freedom.

Kirsti Juurakko is an 18-year-old Maple Ridge resident cur-rently studying at the University of Guelph in Guelph, Ont.

A sunny afternoon in November was like a gift, the

perfect time to visit the four recently installed sidewalk mosaics in downtown Haney.

With the construc-tion of sidewalks and attractive crosswalks complete, the area around the signifi cant corner of 224th Street and the Lougheed Highway is now pedestrian friendly.

The Maple Ridge Museum co-operated with the municipal engineering department by providing historically im-portant themes for these mosaics, along with images from the archives.

Like mosaics from ancient cultures created from coloured stones, our new sidewalk deco-rations are made from durable ceramic tiles.

The images and colours are symbolic, re-minding us of our social history.

The mosaic illustrated today reminds us of the

proud military history of Maple Ridge. You will fi nd it outside the Maple Ridge Community Gam-ing Centre, not far from

the cenotaph many of us will visit on Thursday, Nov. 11th.

Long-time residents will remember the building as McClure’s 5 cents to a Dollar Store on the main street of town, 8th Avenue.

All four of the new mosaics have the same border decora-tions, with maple leaves symbolizing our district name. This season, you will fi nd newly fallen maple leaves joining the pictured one. The green trees and mountain outlines represent important features of our geography, with the braided blue and white rope design standing for the Fraser River.

Most of the armed forces images are famil-iar symbols, with the central poppy similar to the ones we wear on our lapels as reminders of the fallen soldier buried in Flanders Fields. The khaki-clad soldier is wearing the army uni-form of the First World War. Our cenotaph was erected after this confl ict where many local young men fought and perished.

Aside from the white dove of peace, some of the other military symbols may be less familiar. The “Pre Rege

et Patria” crest belongs to the Westminster Regiment where many of our local military served. The home guard is represented by the PCMR crest, standing for Pacifi c Coast Militia Rangers.

The circular bull’s-eye emblem with its central maple leaf motif decorated every airplane that fl ew for the Royal Canadian Air Force. The light blue background colour represents our involvement in United Nations peacekeeping activities. The broken green background area suggests the modern camoufl age used for uniforms in our current military efforts.

The remaining three mosaics can be found near the military one. Thomas Haney is the theme of the closest one, near the handsome brick building that used to serve as our post offi ce. Featured on this mosaic are Haney House, a paddle wheeler on the Fraser River waterfront, and two buildings that remain from the early days of Port Haney. This mosaic is a tribute to the com-munity building efforts of one of our outstand-ing pioneers.

Around the corner on the north side of Lougheed Highway, look on the sidewalk outside the Little Cricket Gal-lery. The theme of this mosaic is the contribu-tion of women’s groups to our community life. The Women’s Institute made sure we had a well baby’s clinic, a public library and many other socially important activi-ties.

Across the street on the south side of the highway you will fi nd a mosaic with the theme of youth activities and groups. The school sports teams, the annual soap-box derby and the 4H agricultural club are all represented.

Talk a walk around town, and learn a little history while you admire the new decorations.

Sheila Nickols is past president of the Maple

Ridge Historical Society.

Injection drug addicts are at much greater risk of catching and spread-ing disease in the Fraser Health region because health authority offi cials have failed to deliver on the promise of their harm reduction policy, reform advocates charge.

They say access to nee-dle exchanges, safe injec-tion sites and methadone clinics is much poorer

than in the Vancouver area – largely due to op-position from hostile city councils and police forces who think an abstinence policy is best.

“Fraser Health has failed to ensure needles and injection supplies are available in all re-gions of Fraser Health,” said Ann Livingston, an advocate with the Van-couver Area Network of Drug Users (VANDU).

Fraser Health distrib-utes only seven per cent of the needles in the

province despite hav-ing at least a quarter of B.C.’s injection drug addicts and the largest population of any health region in B.C.

There are an estimated 14,000 to 16,000 injection drug users in Fraser, about the same as in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, ac-cording to estimates Liv-ingston circulated.

But provincial statistics show Vancouver Coastal distributes three million needles a year, while

Fraser hands out just 400,000.

Nearly all Lower Main-land cities have bylaws banning possession of drug paraphernalia.

The only exception is Vancouver, which bans their display for sale in store windows but allows users to carry syringes or crack pipes.

Livingston said such bylaws are routinely used in many Lower Mainland municipalities to ticket users, even those carry-ing Fraser Health-pro-vided syringes.

Many pharmacies won’t sell needles to people they think are drug users, she added.

Livingston said stud-ies elsewhere show harm reduction strat-egies cut disease, im-prove public order and increase the likelihood addicts will seek treat-ment.

VANDU is recom-mending Fraser ensure syringes and safe crack pipe kits are available throughout the region, that adequate metha-done replacement treatment be available and that a “mystery shopper” system be used to verify access is not being blocked.

Motorists hoping for a quick end to costly AirCare tests appear to be on the road to disap-pointment.

The Lower Mainland’s vehicle air emission test-ing program should be renewed and continued until at least 2020, ac-cording to the fi ndings of a multi-agency review.

Although the program has become less relevant as new cars get steadily cleaner, the report of the AirCare Review Com-mittee says the air qual-ity benefi ts justify con-tinuing it.

“Termination of the AirCare program would result in increased emis-sions that would cause negative health impacts on all residents of the lower Fraser Valley,” it says.

“The cost of AirCare inspections impacts only motorists with vehicles more than seven years old, yet all citizens ben-efi t from improved air quality.”

Consultants note the $45-million annual cost of running AirCare testing centres is entirely borne by motorists through fees, so dismantling the program would not save TransLink or the gov-

ernment any money.“In the absence of an

emissions inspection program, there is no deterrent to neglecting the repair of emissions-related defects or overt disabling of emission controls.”

The decision still de-pends on both the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional district boards endorsing a con-tinued program later this month, as well as provincial government approval.

FVRD board chair Pa-tricia Ross has already said she would be reluc-tant to dismantle Air-Care and some Metro politicians have also said they would likely sup-port renewal.

Although the report makes a case to continue until 2020, it recommends TransLink negotiate a fi ve- to seven-year exten-sion of the program, cur-rently run by contractor Envirotest Canada.

Nearly half the vehicles in the region are exempt from testing because they’re less than eight years old.

Most of the cars that are tested are charged $45 every two years and pass with fl ying colours.

But 115,000 – 13 per cent of those tested – failed in 2007.

Vehicles that fail are

denied insurance until they get a tune-up and a re-test.

Air Care operations manager Dave Gourley said a renewed program would likely add two new tests to detect and reduce leaks from gas tanks and fuel lines and to correct defective evap-orative emission control systems.

He doubts the changes would make it harder to pass AirCare, adding fuel leak testing would rein in extreme cases.

Consultants estimate a revised program could reduce the emission of airborne toxics like ben-zene by 40 per cent, as well as cutting green-house gas emissions from vehicles by 1.1 per cent.

Other air pollutants that hurt air quality, par-ticularly in the Fraser Valley, would be fi ve to 16 per cent lower in 2020 if AirCare contin-ues than if the program is cancelled when it ex-pires at the end of 2011, the fi ndings show.

The results are based on data from California, where testing has found the emissions of newer vehicles are worsening more rapidly than had been expected as they age.

Running the program until 2020 would reduce

the lifetime cancer risk of area residents by 1.6 per cent, reduce hospital admissions for respira-tory and heart disease and avoid 140 premature deaths over the decade, according to a compan-ion report by Sierra Re-search and Senes Con-sultants.

They estimated the re-sulting health benefi ts are worth $77 million in cost savings – signifi -cantly more than the an-nual program cost.

Car dealers and ga-rages also gain from AirCare, say the consul-tants, who count the $35 million in revenue for the car repair industry among the “economic benefi ts.”

Because failed cars are often junked or sold out-side the region instead of being repaired, the report said AirCare also adds an estimated $21 million per year in new vehicle sales.

The review committee included staff from both regional districts as well as ICBC, TransLink, En-vironment Canada and the provincial ministry of healthy living and sport.

B.C. wouldn’t be alone in extending AirCare.

Similar testing schemes in Ontario and Washington State are being extended to 2019.

The drums pound and the horns blare.“Ladies and gentleman – Morris as Elvis!”

shouts the announcer.Morris Bates walks down the staircase in the pres-

tigious Empire Room at the Landmark in Las Vegas. The lights lift to reveal him in a white one-piece pantsuit and cape, sparkling with red, blue and gold jewels.

The black guitar strung across his chest pops against his shimming attire.

“I said see, see, see rider – Oh, see what you have done,” he sings, with one hand on the mic, his right leg moving to the bluesy beat.

His resemblance to Presley is striking – pompa-dour hair, gold chain, sweaty chest and all.

“It looks like I’m working hard,” laughs the 60-year-old Bates, watching the footage of himself perform-ing 30 years ago.

The raw video was fi lmed as part of a documen-tary by the BBC called Elvis Lives.

Wearing a large crisp collar, a leather vest and a black fedora, Bates mouths the lyrics to the music on the TV – a seven-foot poster of himself in the back-ground.

The Mission resident was hailed by Nevada crit-ics as the best Elvis tribute act on the Vegas circuit since Presley’s death in 1977.

After 10 years – moving from The Silver Slipper, to the Landmark, to Vegas World – Bates earned the title of the longest-running Elvis performer and the second longest one-man show, next to Wayne New-ton.

And as one of the fi rst professional Elvis imperson-

ators in the world, Bates performed the act in spe-cifi c ’50s, ’60s and ’70s segments.

Growing up in Williams Lake on the Sugar Cane Reserve, Bates worked his way from back-up singer to front man in a variety of bands. In his early 20s, he did a satirical show called Elvis The Pelvis And His Cousin Enis.

He found his Elvis voice – from deep in his belly – while practising Rod Stewart’s Maggie May, trying to keep his voice down so he didn’t get kicked out of his apartment.

After throwing some Elvis tunes into a musical set, Bates started a ’50s revival show and went from making $500 a week to $3,500 a week.

By the time The King passed away, Bates had al-ready spent four years perfecting his tribute show by studying photographs and watching Elvis per-form on a fi ve-inch Betamax TV.

Bates started in Vegas when he turned 28, with a gruelling three shows a night.

“We were just punk kids in Las Vegas, we weren’t ready,” he says with a laugh.

On the fi rst anniversary of Elvis’s death, Bates performed on the Merv Griffi n show, watched by 17 million people.

According to Bates, one of the things that set him apart from the other impersonators was his person-ality – he always remembered he was Morris Bates fi rst and Elvis second.

“On stage it’s a theatre, backstage that’s me.”That ability to differentiate is what messed up a lot

of performers, he says.With such a vigourous routine – two shows a night

for 12 months a year, except Wednesdays – Bates’ vo-cal chords were starting to wear thin. He turned to nightly injections of cortisone to relieve the pain.

“I wasn’t allowed to speak in the daytime. I had to nod and I carried a pen and paper with me.”

He attributes his current raspy voice to old age and Jack Daniels, adding he can still reach for those tough notes.

After seven years of being Elvis on the strip, and three years performing at lounges in Vegas, the magic was gone.

“Elvis died at 42, so I thought then, maybe it was time to quit.”

He got into the karaoke business and became one of the pioneers in the industry, introducing the phe-nomenon to clubs. A few years later, he released the song Promised Land, an inspirational and con-troversial aboriginal chant, and later enrolled in a native youth worker training program at the Native Education Centre in Vancouver.

Working with the Vancouver Police and Native Liaison Society as a specialized victim assistance worker, Bates developed an aversion program called Reality Check for Indigenous People (R.I.P), some-times known as Scared Straight. Looking back on what he has accomplished in his lifetime, it’s the chances he’s taken that stand out.

He hopes young people recognize that in an era without computers he was still able to live by his wits and accomplish something – and hopefully, that inspires them to do the same.

Canadian country singer Michelle Wright brings a completely unplugged show to the ACT on Friday.

Beginning in Glace Bay, N.S. and ending in Maple Ridge, The Wright Songs 2010 is the singer’s fi rst-ever coast-to-coast acous-tic tour. The show will feature Wright in a comfortably intimate setting along with her lead guitarist, Frank Michels, and her key-board player, Clint Par-ris, playing a good se-lection of material from her eight-album cata-logue, including – for the fi rst time in many years – some songs from her recently re-released debut album, Do Right By Me.

There will be some new songs, some sto-ries and a few sur-prises, too – all punc-tuated by the powerful hits that have earned Wright recognition as one of Canada’s great-est vocal talents.

A favourite with ACT patrons, Wright is one of Canada’s most wide-ly-recognized country singers with over 30 major music industry awards to her credit, a string of 25 Top Ten hits on radio, including seven “Number One” singles, and nearly two million albums sold in North America.

• The Wright Songs 2010: An Acoustic Eve-ning with Michelle Wright plays The ACT Friday, Nov. 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $45. To purchase tickets visit www.theactma-pleridge.org/michelle-wright or call the box offi ce at 604-476-2787.

Brooding look at dismal lives

The Rimers of Eldritch promises to entertain, but don’t expect to just sit back and complacently watch the latest produc-tion by the Douglas College Theatre and Stagecraft and Event Technology depart-ments.

“One of the joys of this piece with the way the sto-rytelling is, it demands our participation, in the way that any good mystery demands our participation,” says John Cooper, the director of Rim-ers, which opens Friday.

The dark and haunting play, writ-ten by Lanford Wilson in 1966, is set in a decaying town in the American midwest and focuses on the murder trial of Skelly, a hermit who has been thrust outside of the community for purportedly having sex with a sheep.

Composed of brief scenes that move the story back and forth through time, Rimers examines the reactions of the townspeople and explores the themes of sex, death, judgment and

hypocrisy.Maple Ridge resident Laura Shortt

stars in The Rimers of Eldritch as Cora Groves.

“I have some personal relationships to these ideas of judgment and being ostracized and made to feel different,” Cooper says. “And I’ve witnessed this

in others, and something doesn’t sit right with me. In this play, it leads to death its extreme end.”

Cooper adds he hopes the play will spur audience members to ask themselves some provocative ques-tions.

“What do you think when you see this judgment and ostracism end up in death and sadness and belittle-ment? Can you see some

of the patterns that lead to this? Are you involved in such patterns? I feel that it’s my job to share in the play-wright’s questions and help tell the story that asks those questions, and thrusts them at us.”

• The Rimers of Eldritch plays the Studio Theatre (room 4100) at Doug-las College, 700 Royal Avenue in New Westminster, Friday, Nov. 12-20. Tickets are $7.5 to $15, purchase by calling 604-521-5050.

The Pitt Meadows Marauders var-sity football team is headed to the play-offs for the second season in a row after dumping the Rick Hansen Hurricanes 15-6 at home Friday af-ternoon.

The Marauders defence held the opposition to seven points or less for the fourth time this year as Pitt

fi nished the regular season with a record of 3-3 in conference play, go-ing 4-4-1 overall.

Coming into the game, both Rick Hansen and Pitt Meadows sat at 2-3, tied for the fourth and fi nal Main-land AA Conference play-off berth.

“This was a play-off game for us,” said Marauders head coach Dave Holleran. “It was us or them.”

The Hurricanes ran roughshod over the Marauders in the teams’ previous meeting last season, with Rick Hansen winning 27-6 in Pitt Meadows’ fi rst game of the 2009 reg-ular season.

This year was a different story, as

the Marauders were hungry for a win and the fi nal play-off berth af-ter losing to Mission 21-16 on Nov. 5, when an avalanche of penal-ties sabotaged Pitt’s ef-forts, despite an early 10-0 lead.

Malcolm Williams and Matt Newlove each scored touch-downs for the Marauders, while quarterback Danny Childress had another strong performance.

“He really kept his composure,” said Holleran. “They were blitzing like crazy, but our O-line gave him

time to pass.”The Marauders defence was once

again the deciding factor, holding the Hurricanes to just six

points.Holleran singled

out rush ends Martin Duckhorn and New-love as having strong performances, while

defensive end Marcus Woods had six tackles.

“Our defence is really com-ing along,” said Holleran. “We

were hard to throw against... I was very happy with how we played.”

There was a lot of room on the Ridge Meadows Flames bench Friday night after five players received game misconducts and suspensions following a line brawl during their junior B hockey game

against the North Delta Devils at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

Sean Kavanagh, Paul Piluso, Cory Day, Dustin Cervo and team captain CJ Legassic were all sus-pended following a mêlée late in the third period that erupted in front of the Flames’ bench.

“Their guy hit our guy, and it kind of went from there,” said

Flames head coach Tavis Eaton. “It’s not a situation you really have any control over.”

The Devils also had five play-ers ejected as a result of the fight, while goalie Tyler Klassen was assessed a minor for leaving the crease.

The Flames were down 4-1 after two periods, managing just two

shots on goal in the second. The team showed some signs of life in the third, but were unable to claw their way back into the game after losing a quarter of their roster, los-ing 5-3 to the Devils.

“Obviously it hurts us,” said Eaton. “These are five very key guys.”

Hot start for Mallo with Buff State

See Pitt, p34

See Flames, p32

Maple Ridge’s Lau-ren Mallo may play defence for the Buf-falo State University Bengal’s women’s hockey team, but her numbers so far this season prove she’s quite capable of put-ting the puck in the net as well.

The sophomore blue-liner leads the Bengals in scoring after four games with a goal and two assists.

As a freshman, Mallo tallied six points in 24 games last season in NCAA Division 3 play.

The Bengals are cur-rently 1-3 this season, and 0-2 in East Coast Athletic Conference West play.

Mallo, who graduated from Thomas Haney Secondary was the captain of the Fraser Valley Phantom major midget girls’ hockey team and helped lead the Fraser Valley Zone team to a silver medal at the B.C. Winter Games in 2008.

Pitt grad tourney this weekend

Pitt Meadows Sec-ondary School’s an-nual grad basketball tourney takes place Nov. 11 to 13.

The tournament fea-tures four teams made up of ex-students who will take on the school’s senior and ju-nior teams.

Among the Pitt grad-uates returning for the tourney are for-mer university players such as Aaron Chris-tensen, Bryson Kool, Matt Jourdain, Dylan Gatner, Nick LaFleur, and Gary Pelton.

The action gets un-derway Nov. 11 at 6:30 p.m. when the 2002-2005 grads take on the 2006-2007 grads, fol-lowed by a match-up between the Pitt se-niors and the 2001 and older grads.

The tournament fi-nal takes place Nov. 13 at 7 p.m.

All games take place at the Pitt Meadows Secondary gym.


Day will be avail-able for the Flames’ next game, this Friday at home against the Grandview Steelers, while Kavanagh, Piluso,

Cervo, and Legassic each received two game suspensions, and won’t be back in the lineup until Nov. 16 when the Flames visit the Delta Ice Hawks.

“It’s an opportunity to test some of the guys out who normally don’t get a lot of ice time,” Eaton said. “It will give them a chance to shine, so hopefully they use it.”

With the Ridge Mead-ows Rustlers midget A1 team out of town, Eaton was unable to enough affi liate players to round out his roster in time for the Flames’ game against the Ab-botsford Pilots Satur-day night on the road.

The Flames only dressed 15 forwards and defencemen, ultimately

losing to the Pilots 5-4.“If we had [the fi ve

suspended players] in the line-up, it would have made the differ-ence, I think,” Eaton said.

However, d e s p i t e what was ultimately a losing ef-fort, Eaton said his team’s per-f o r m a n c e against the Pilots was one of the best he’s seen all sea-son.

“That was the fi rst night I felt like we stuck to the game plan,” he said. “I thought every-one played great, start to fi nish. We put pucks on the net and got some traffi c in front.”

Ryan Stewart had a pair of goals to lead the Flames offence, while Shane Harle and Dean Gilmore also added goals.

With the pair of loss-

es, the team is now one point removed from the Harold Brittain Confer-ence’s basement with 14 points after 19 games.

While the Flames have won just two of their last nine games, but Eaton isn’t hitting the panic but-ton, yet.

“We have 12 rook-ies with

us this year, and there is a defi nite learning curve [between midget and junior B],” he said. “I knew it would take some time for our guys to adjust, I just didn’t think it would take this long.

“But we are getting better,” Eaton added. “I believe that.”

The Flames’ next home game is this Fri-day against the Grand-view Steelers at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Jacob Wensley of the Vancouver North East Chiefs (on left) and Cam MacAdams of the North Island Silvertips battle for the puck Sunday afternoon at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge. The Chiefs beat the Silvertips 3-0 to take over sixth spot in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League standings.

Chiefs unbeaten in four

The Vancouver North East Chiefs stretched their unbeaten streak to four games as they picked up a win and a tie against the visiting North Island Silvertips last weekend.

The Chiefs now sit at an even .500 with a record of 5-5-4. With 14 points, the Chiefs presently oc-cupy the sixth and fi nal play-off berth in the 11-team B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

The Silvertips opened the scoring in Satur-day’s game midway through the fi rst period and carried a 1-0 lead until the middle of the second when Brandon Volpe scored to put the Chiefs on the board. The ‘Tips again pulled ahead with a goal coming with seven minutes left in the middle frame. However, the Chiefs responded with a pair of goals of their own before the pe-riod was through from Trevor Sutton and Ja-mie Waddington to take a 3-2 lead into the third period.

The Chiefs stretched their lead to two on a goal from Maple Ridge’s Matt Bissett. The Silvertips struck back minutes lat-er, tying the game with a pair of goals scored just a minute apart. The teams remained dead-locked until the fi nal buzzer, resulting in a 4-4 tie. Daniel Del Bianco picked up a pair of as-sists, while Nick Herma-ny, Derek Hughes, Tyler Martin, Dominic Centis, and Waddington all reg-istered helpers as well.

Jordan Hospes picked up the shut-out win in net on Sunday, as the Chiefs blanked the Sil-vertips 3-0 in the second meeting of their two-game series. Bissett had another stellar outing for the Chiefs, registering two goals and an assist in the win. Bissett got the Chiefs on the board early in the second, with Joey Santucci scoring to give the Chiefs a 2-0 lead later in the period. Bissett added an empty net goal with 47 seconds left to ensure the win for the Chiefs. Michael Scobie, Waddinton, Her-many and Santucci also notched assists.

The Chiefs head out on the road next weekend to take on the Okanagan Rockets in Kelowna.

With the win, the Ma-rauders will face the Oka-nagan Mission Huskies in the fi rst round of the B.C. AA play-offs this Friday in Kelowna.

The Huskies fi nished

third in the Okanagan Con-ference with a regular sea-son record of 1-2, going 2-4 overall.

While the Marauders may be a dark horse pick to go deep into the B.C. AA varsity play-offs, it’s not

an uncommon position for the Pitt Meadows football team.

“We’re underdogs, and we like being underdogs,” Hol-leran said. “We’re the team no one wants to play.”

However, the team’s for-

tunes in the post season will likely be determined by how healthy they can stay.

Cody Holleran, Matt New-love and Marcus Woods all fi nished the game despite playing injured. Malcolm

Williams sat out the sec-ond half after injuring his knee.

“Depth is an issue,” said Holleran. “We have a tough path ahead of us, but if we can stay healthy, we have a shot.”

Journey of a Mother.

Your mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She is the smell of certain foods you remember, fl owers that you pick, and perfume she wore. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well. She’s the breath in the air on a cool winter’s day. She is in the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of the rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. And she crystallizes in every tear drop. A mother shows you every emotion and all the while, hoping and praying that you will only know the good feelings in life. She’s the place you came from, you’re fi rst home. And she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your fi rst love, your best friend. And nothing on earth can separate you, not time nor space. Not even death.

Dorothy has been a vital part of Harken Towing since she and Ken launched their fi rst boat in 1948. You could fi nd her in the kitchen dispatching the tugs and when need be she was on the boat as the deckhand. Dorothy loved nothing more than taking her friends or anyone who was willing down the river on her pride and joy the Viking King. She loved being on the water and showing people the water side of life. She enjoyed Maui, charity dinners, watching her grandsons and great grand-children play sports and tried to make people’s lives a bit better in everything she did.Dorothy will be greatly missed by her family and her crew at Harken Towing but she will live on in our hearts and memories forever.A refl ection of her life will be held at Swan-e-Set Bay Resort & Country Club, 16651 Rannie Road, Pitt Meadows (near her beloved river) at 11:00 a.m. Monday, Novem-ber 15, 2010.

She was a registered nurse and worked at Riverview for many years. Mary was well-known throughout the equestrian community. She taught many young people the skills, values, and love of horse ownership. She was a tireless advocate of the rules of the sport and shared her wealth of knowledge to all who needed it. Her organization of competitions throughout the province, particularly Eventing, was outstanding. Her meticulous management of results and awards was remarkable. The community has lost a dear friend and a leader but her legacy of fairplay, organiza-tion, and commitment will live on. She was much loved and will be sadly missed by many.A gathering to remember Mary will be held at the Maple Ridge Equisport Centre 21973 132nd Avenue, Maple Ridge, B.C., on Sunday November 14th, from 1:00pm - 4:00pm.
