Const. Mike Pedrosa is back on active duty, an amazing feat considering all he’s been through.

TROY [email protected]

A Ridge Meadows Mountie appears to be winning his battle with brain cancer.

Const. Mike Pedrosa returned to active duty last Tuesday, June 30, a day that was five years in the making.

Pedrosa, 36-year-old husband to Ida and dad to six-year-old Luca, three-and-a-half-year-old Amalia, and 21-month-old Iris, is back on the streets, doing what he loves – quite an accomplishment con-sidering the road that took him there, one that started in the early morning hours of March 12, 2010.

“When this all started, the first oncologist we had actually said, ‘If you make it to four years with-out this returning, you’ll be very lucky, and if you make it to seven years without dying, then you’ll be very lucky,’” Ida shared.

Pedrosa had oligodendroglioma, generally described as a soft, grayish-pink brain tumour.

“I had one grand mal seizure, and that was the only symptom,” Pedrosa said.

Ida woke up to her husband having the seizure at 1:30 in the morning that March 12. His body had curled up and he was shak-ing violently.

“I was slapping him on the face

and I threw water on him, I was yelling at him, trying to wake him up,” Ida recalled. “I started to worry that it was a stroke because he didn’t wake up.”

In a fog, Pedrosa could see Ida standing at the foot of the bed but he had no idea as to why the paramedics were in his bedroom.

He was able to remember the year – 2010 because Vancouver had just hosted the Winter Olympics – but try as he might couldn’t recall what month it was.

At Ridge Meadows Hospital, the couple thought they’d only be there for a few hours to be home to Luca, who was 10 months old at the time.

A CT scan taken at eight that morning revealed the tumour.

By 10:30 a.m., a neurosurgeon in New Westminster told the couple he believed it to be oli-godendroglioma.

Surgery was scheduled for March 31, and because the tumour was originally considered benign, Pedrosa had hoped to be back to work in about six weeks.

However, biopsy results showed it to be malignant.

“His was… really rare, that they even had to send it to Chicago to get somebody there to look at the biopsy, because they couldn’t figure out exactly what it was,” Ida said.

Eight months of chemother-apy ended in January 2011 and Pedrosa returned to

work that April, hoping to return to his previous post.

But he was told that due to his seizure, and the seriousness of protecting the public, he would need to be seizure-free for five years before he would be allowed to carry a gun or drive a police cruiser.

Over the past four years leading up to June 30, Pedrosa worked within the Ridge Meadows detachment in different roles and even completed his masters in criminology.

Now, he’s back in his element.On a personal level, Pedrosa

has been asked numerous times how he approaches life can-cer-free. “I always have that stoic approach,” he said. “I do appreci-ate life, family, kids, and friends.”

“It didn’t turn into ‘what are we going to learn from this,’” Ida offered. “It turned into this stress-ful, scary, medical issue. Aside from that your life continues. We had two more children and we still have a home, still have family, and still have to keep going. It’s definitely made us stronger.”

No way and forget it.That was the general

sentiment of residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, who voted an overwhelming “no” to the proposed 0.5 per cent provincial sales tax increase proposed by TransLink to pay for expanded bus and rail service.

They helped swing the vote decidedly to the “no” side. The overall tally: 61.68 per cent voted “no” with 38.32 per cent voting “yes.”

In Maple Ridge, 21,470 people, or 77.03 per cent of those who returned ballots, voted against the tax.

“There is no doubt that Metro Vancouver com-munities need transit, but it was wholly predictable that the plebiscite became a vote about TransLink,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read.

In Pitt Meadows, 4,568 people, or 72.16 per cent of people who voted, put forth a “no” vote.

“I’m disappointed but not surprised,” said Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker, who advocated for a “yes” vote.

A series of fires have kept crews busy since Canada Day.

Flames reached skyward, breaking through the roof of a rancher-style home just east of downtown Maple Ridge Sunday afternoon.

The Maple Ridge fire depart-ment received a call to the house at 12:01 p.m., and upon their arrival, “the garage was fully engulfed,” and the fire had extended into the attic of the house, said Maple Ridge assist-ant fire chief Mark Smitton.

Crews had the fire out around 2 p.m. but spent much of the day on scene mopping up.

Fire officials were continuing their investigation this week to determine the cause of the blaze, which Smitton said gut-ted the house.

All occupants got out safely, he noted.

School blaze dousedMeanwhile, a fire at Thomas

Haney Secondary (not far from that afternoon’s house fire) is still under investigation, too.

That fire was reported in the early hours of Sunday morning, around 5 a.m.

Despite the proximity of the two fires, police don’t believe the school blaze is suspicious, nor that either of the fires are related. The school fire was likely connected to a mechanic-

al devices on the roof, accord-ing to Mounties.

Container destroyedPlumes of black smoke rose

over Ruskin on Canada Day.Maple Ridge fire crews

were called out to Pull & Save Quality Used Auto Parts, in the 28800 block of Lougheed Highway – on the south side of the highway between the neighbouring mill and Stave River, just before 6 p.m.

A fire had started inside a 40-foot-long container that had been modified into a machine shop. Flames had spread to the grass and fencing, as well as some of the junk cars in the vicinity, by the time firefighters arrived on scene, explained deputy fire chief Howard Exner.

Ultimately, the container was

destroyed, and the fire torched much within an 80-foot per-imeter before firefighters were able to completely extinguish.

Mezzanine burnsThen, just before 10 p.m. on

July 1, firefighters were called to a house fire in Albion – in a residential area in the 10600 block of 244th Street.

A teen at home at the time smelled smoke, and found a mezzanine inside the garage was engulfed in flames.

The house was saved, but much of the structure was filled with smoke and a sticky soot caused by burning plastic shelving and equipment inside the mezzanine, Exner said.

The residents, a family of five and their dog, were displaced, but have insurance, Exner said.

Attack based on fact

The federal election is still about four months away, but the unofficial campaigns have been raging through the spring and show no sign of letting up.

The Conservatives, the best-funded of the three major parties, have been the busiest, filling the airwaves and web

with ads, so far mostly attacking Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau. We expect that the ads slamming the new front runner, NDP leader Tom Mulcair, won’t be far behind.

The NDP and Liberals, both with less cash on hand, will no doubt be rolling out their own campaigns soon.

We know that with a fixed election date, this long, drawn-out cam-paign season is inevitable. And we know that attack ads are also inevit-able.

That’s not really a bad thing. Every party will have positions, and each party has a track record at the federal or provincial level, for good or ill. (Expect to hear both Liberals and Conservatives talk about their deficit-fighting experience, while the NDP beats the drum for Tommy Douglas and medicare.) Each party should be allowed to take swipes at the failures of their opponents.

However, we can only hope that the attack ads stick mostly to facts and policies. The Conservatives have a long track record of attacking Liberal leaders based on their persona – and trying to paint them as wimps, unfit for the job of PM. The Liberals may get huffy, but they spent quite a while accusing the Tories of being bent on destroying the country when the Conservatives were in opposition. The NDP has never been close enough to power to either benefit from or be much damaged by really vicious attack ads – until now.

The Conservatives now have a lengthy track record.Both the NDP and the Liberals have already started staking out

positions on major issues that should give us an interesting campaign, even if personal attacks and fearmongering are kept to a minimum.

So let’s have attack ads – on ideas, but not on the very real people who are earnestly putting them forward.

Ironically, dry wit tends to go nicely with our usual climate, which has a ten-dency to rain down upon

us nearly every part of the year. It has often been said, for instance, that the rainy season out here begins and ends in August – it begins in the end of August and ends in the beginning of August.

In the winter, our weather often prompts one wag or another to quip, “Well, at least you don’t have to shov-el it!”

Of course, there’s always a David Duchovny type out there whose sense of humour falls short of our climate, but for the most part, we laugh it off and admit that, despite the rain, we are lucky to inhabit a pretty darned nice piece of the world.

And then we get a summer like this one, and the irony gets so thick that it

leaves a metallic taste in your mouth.

As much as we love to hate the rain, we despise any heat that dares to sneak into the 30s, much less stride boldly through them.

For some reason, it’s harder to coax a chuckle in the heat than it is in the wet.

Sometimes the weather is just plain nothing to laugh about. Indeed, in the heat of the moment, a miscue on what shall be deemed funny

and what shan’t could land you in serious trouble.

Years ago, in the days when 27 degrees of Celsius used to be an unusually hot July day in the Lower Mainland, Donna and I set out on a road trip to Nelson.

It wasn’t particularly our intention to escape the heat... and we most certainly did not.

This was in the days when only rich

people had the luxury of air conditioning their cars. We were not rich.

We picked the wrong part of the day to get underway, and by the time we got through Princeton, the heat was stifling. Temperatures were in the 40s.

Rolling down the windows merely encouraged the car to suck more heat into its interior.

Our Wet Coast brains were melting.It was around Keremeos that I learned

something about hot-weather jokes that I should try never to forget.

By this time, the sun was beginning to sink towards the horizon, and every so often it would slip behind the top of a mountain, resulting in a dramatic tem-perature drop of several degrees into the high 30s – which after hours of driving in our blast furnace felt like we were sud-denly encased in ice.

It was heavenly, and we would slow down and savour those darkened moments.

We pulled in at a gas station sitting

at the base of a hillside that had been amplifying the heat to the point where the pavement had the consistency of Werther’s caramel candy – the soft kind.

A young man reluctantly approached us through the heat and dutifully offered to fill our tank (there were few self-serve stations back then – and certainly not in the sticks).

The desire to be off with his friends in a swimming hole was clearly written in the sweat streaming down his face, punc-tuated by his slouched, scuffling walk.

I couldn’t resist: “Hot enough fer ya?” I quipped.

I shouldn’t have.You’ve certainly heard the expression,

“If looks could kill...”If they could, I would have been sim-

mered in my own juices in 45-gallon oil drum, with the words, “Hot enough for ya?” emblazoned on my forehead with a branding iron.

I could see it in the hot gleam of his eyes.

Weather jokes run danger of just turning up the heat

Ridge Meadows Mounties recently set up a CounterAttack road check on Golden Ears Bridge to catch impaired drivers as part of a summer campaign. Readers had their views:“Great job hope they catch them.” – Kim Plumridge

“To all the people saying they will go another way, every bridge is blocked off tonight. In every municipal.” – Nathan Robert Pavan

“All this did was push traffic into maple ridge as people went to mission to bypass the bridge” – Cecil Williams Jr.

“So why post this tonight? Smh (shaking my head).” – Chris Laing

“The cops made the announcement themselves – it’s posted because they wanted it posted.” – Matt Ion

“They should be on it day and night to catch speeders. I do the speed limit an every one else is doing 100+.” – Raynee Lagace

“Ty (thank you), for doin’ a great job. Catch them.” – Debra Keresztes

“Well they might have better luck if they were at a bridge people actually use dont ya think lol (laugh out loud).” – Garden Yeo

Dear Editor,Beer cans all over the chil-

dren’s playground, Subway sand-wich bags hanging from children swings, a condom wrap and a dirty sock.

Not a lot considering I have seen syringes, marijuana bags and other paraphernalia around the yard of Harry Hooge Elemenetary in Maple Ridge.

Today I had enough.The deterioration of the school

and surroundings is making me question if this is the right place to raise my little child.

It’s common to see the respon-sible kids.

I have seen them on the roof of the school, writing on the

walls, and vandalizing the most precious educational den a parent could ask for.

Not too long ago, one of the kids, who seems to be the leader and always in suspicious acts, stared at me trying to be intimi-dating.

How could a kid be intimidat-ing?

Apparently they are to police, whose absence seems to support their acts.

We called the police once, to let them know what was going on at the moment and the offi-cers were more interested in our lives than dispatching someone to deal with the situation.

Something must be done.

I probably can’t reach to the parents of these kids, which logically appears to be the root of the problem. But with this letter, I hope to reach the City of Maple Ridge and ask or challenge them.

Do you have a plan for the kids who are our future?

Is there a principle that calls to hold wrong-doers accountable for their acts?

Or, is this a forgotten and exceptional area in Maple Ridge and I should just accept and live with it?

I want answers and the whole neighbourhood around 230th Street and Harry Hooge deserve answers.

Danel Segarra, Maple Ridge

Drivers wake and scare my toddler Dear Editor,

Dear City of Maple Ridge residents, I feel like I live on the set of Mad Max.

Your cars and motorbikes are too loud and you drive too fast.

Dewdney Trunk Road is not a drag strip after 8 p.m.

You wake me up from my sleep.

You’re so loud my skin feels like it’s rip-ping.

You wake my tod-dler up from her sleep.

She’s scared of you.Be respectful to

others.Slow down.Take the medica-

tions off your exhaust.Jenny Wade, Maple Ridge

Tent city a result of cuts Dear Editor,

The Cliff Avenue encampment is a prod-uct of cuts to social programs.

Decades of Liberal and Conservative gov-ernments have resulted in cuts to housing and the downloading of responsibility for hous-ing programs to the provinces.

We need to engage all levels of govern-ment in solutions to our homelessness issue.

We need an afford-able housing plan and the social services to support people transi-tioning from the street to social housing with the hope that they can eventually move into unassisted housing.

Bob D’Eith, Maple Ridge - federal

NDP candidate

Dear Editor,Now that the people

have had their say, (as if there was ever any doubt), the governance of transit needs to be restructured.

I have some very con-structive suggestions, but, for the sake of brevity I won’t go into that now.

I do have a question for those who seek to convince us, with our tax dollars, what is good for us when it comes to unregulated

spending on the part of the council of mayors with the multi-million dollar “Yes” campaign.

Will you people be giving the taxpayer a vote on the next sug-gestion(s) you have for

funding transit projects?Property taxes, gas-

oline taxes, hydro levy increases etc.?

Understand this; The sky will not fall in on us.

I suggest you turn to the public for construct-ive suggestions when it comes to raising money necessary for transit expansion projects.

You would be sur-prised what you can learn.

Mike Boileau, Maple Ridge

Public has spoken, now start listening

Dear Editor,I find it interesting

in this day and age of recycling and care of the environment that manufacturers of prod-ucts we need to buy continue to produce useless and many times

difficult to open pack-aging crap that winds up in our landfills and oceans for the sake of advertising, and yet we as people are blamed for the pollution.

Barry Bentley, Maple RIdge

There’s no rabbit in that hat: Norden the Magician performed a summer show at the Maple Ridge library on Monday to a large, and obviously, excited audience. He even tried to put a diaper on one of his assistant’s heads, referring to it as a “special prize” hat which caused the crowd to burst into laughter.

Following in footsteps of singers like Paul Brandt, DaniElle is competing in Calgary.RONDA [email protected]

Pitt Meadows girl Danielle Severinski, known to her fans as DaniElle, is hoping to spend a couple more days in Calgary.

Her wish is to make it to Saturday to compete in the finals in the Calgary Stampede Talent Search Contest.

Back in May, DaniElle con-vinced her mom to drive her to Cowtown to audition.

“The day before [the audi-tions], I saw it and I said, “Mom,

I’ve got to do this,” the 19-year-old recounted. “My mom drove me all the way to Calgary.”

The competition was open to youth aged six to 21 with the first round of cuts happen-ing after the preliminaries on Tuesday. The semifinals are today (July 9) and Friday.

Singing her own rock-country song, Hope It Hurts, DaniElle is now on to the semifinals Friday at 6:30 p.m., and – if all goes well – to Saturday’s finals.

“Competing in this contest is an exciting opportunity for me,” DaniElle told The TIMES. “Anytime I get to showcase my talents I will take it, especially if it involves a western rodeo.”

The young singer describes the Calgary Stampede as “a big deal” and noted that country singer Paul Brandt was the winner a number of years ago.

“I am just happy I get to be a part of it,” DaniElle noted.

She grew up in Pitt Meadows on a dairy farm, so The TIMES asked the singer/songwriter if performing in Calgary was much different from performing locally.

“It was really cool,” she said,

following the first night. “I actually played in the middle of the stadium... they dropped the stage down… and it was super awesome.”

It was the first time she’s per-formed in a venue as large as the Saddledome.

There have been numerous performance opportunities pop-ping up for DaniElle while at the stampede and she noted the experience was “definitely differ-ent”, but filled with great oppor-tunities.

If she is lucky enough to be among the top four contestants of the Calgary finals, DaniElle will be in the running for prizes of up to $10,000.

She’s not in it for the prizes, mind you. It’s the chance to per-form at a high-calibre showcase that appeals to this local girl.

Thieves soughtMounties hunt for those who stole wire on the road.

Mounties are asking for the pub-lic’s help in finding the person, or persons, responsible for stealing wire from the lamp standards along Golden Ears Way earlier this week.

The crime took place sometime during the dark hours of Monday, July 6 and the morning of July 7, said Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

“Thieves targeted a number of lamp standards on Golden Ears

Way from 203rd Street east to 210th Street, and stole hundreds of meters of copper wire,” Dunlop said. The cost of repair and replacement will be “very significant.”

Anyone with any information is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.

POLICE FILES

Everyone feels the heat and is hopefully being cautious.ERIC [email protected]

The spate of fires as of late, combined with smokey skies, and a severe lack of rain have prompted warnings and advis-ories, including everything from water conservation to pet escape plans.

Both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows – along with the rest of Metro Vancouver – have implemented Stage 2 water restrictions, limiting things like

when people can water their lawns.

“We need to reduce our discretionary use of water including lawn sprinkling and washing cars,” said metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore. “Our reservoir levels need to be maintained for priority needs in our homes and businesses.”

In addition, Maple Ridge has banned smoking in parks and on trails, due to the tinder-dry conditions.

The BC SPCA is encouraging animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet prepared-ness.

Several new wildfires as well as old ones have caused

evacuation orders and states of emergency in several B.C. com-munities, prompting people to leave their homes.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible, and people don’t necessarily think about their pet in an emergency situa-tion until it’s too late,” says BC SPCA‘s Lorie Chortyk.

In addition, an air quality advisory was issued by Metro Vancouver issued on July 5. It remained in effect as late as Wednesday afternoon (prior to press deadline) – because of high concentrations of fine par-ticulate matter in the air from wildfire smoke.

“We’re in extreme weath-

er conditions,” said Maple Ridge assistant fire chief Mark Smitton.

“We’re laid down with quite a bit of smoke. People are even finding ash on their vehicles, and it’s all related to the forest fires.”

Persons with chronic under-lying medical conditions should postpone strenuous activities until the advisory is lifted. And health officials advise them to stay indoors, in air conditioned spaces and to reduce particulate exposure.

Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly, and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

A classic story hits the local stage for three days, starting next week.

ERIC [email protected]

After two full weeks of rehearsals, six days a week, eight hours a day, the cast and crew of Mary Poppins is set to take the stage at Theatre in the Country, beginning next Wednesday, July 15.

A collaborative effort between Maple Ridge-based Odeum Theatre Society, Theatre in the Country, and the Ridge Meadows Orchestra, the show has all

the makings of a performance that captures the magic of the well-known and much-beloved tale.

“What’s cool about the Mary Poppins musical, is that it is different than the movie,” expalined Rayne Beveridge, Odeum’s artistic director. “It still has the traditional Mary Poppins – the one people remember from the movie – but there’s a lot of extra stuff too. There’s different songs and scenes, and characters that come into play that add a lot more depth and character to the musical as a whole.”

Odeum has been in the community for about six years now, Beveridge explained, and runs more of what he

calls a performance workshop.“This means we bring in profession-

al educators and artists to come run the program: I am a singer for the UBC Opera, the musical director performs with the Bruce James Orchestra, our dance director does choreography for Theatre Under the Stars, and our theatre director just got her degree from UBC.”

The decision to work with Theatre in the Country came about after Odeum “saw the incredible production value, the stage, the sets, the projection, and all the cool things that they do,”

Beveridge said.The show runs July 15 to 18, and tick-

ets are $15. For further details or to buy tickets, visit www.theatreinthecountry.com, and follow the links.

Musical capturing magic of Mary

A Maple Ridge mom has made her first foray into the world of web-based businesses, as she gets set to launch her clothing site, specifically geared

towards women sizes 12 and up.“I’d been doing some research, and just

realized that in the women’s clothing market, there’s really not a lot for ladies over a size 12,” explained Kimberley MacLeod, owner of Hellooo Gorgeous. “I put together some pieces – dresses mostly – that were all above size 12, in the hopes that I could fulfill that need.”

Initially, finding a supplier was a bit tricky, but MacLeod went online, and eventually found a sup-plier based in California.

“Their clothes are all made in the States, are trendy, and look good,” she said.

The decision to start her own business wasn’t sponta-neous, though.

“I’ve been thinking about this for about two years, and went into it full-time in February, when my son was about four months old.”

In fact, it was the birth of her son really helped kick-start the operation.

“I had my son, wanted to be available to him, and figured working from home would be awesome,” she said.

Keep an eye out for her website, (currently still in the works) at www.hellooogorgeous.ca.

This summer is studded with a number of musical events in town.

RONDA [email protected]

Summer brings a song to everyone’s heart and fortunately, it also brings music to the community in a wide range of ways.

There is no need to complain about boring weekdays with all the free options for music, moving, and grooving.

For instance, a 20-year tradition, Twilight Tuesdays, is back at the band-stand in Maple Ridge’s Memorial Peace Park starting this week.

The concerts started at 7:30 p.m. on July 7 and continue July 14, 21, and 28 – showcas-ing the Maple Ridge Concert Band.

Visiting and alumni musicians are invited to sit in with the band during these lively community evenings.

In Pitt Meadows, a Wednesday night summer tradition also continues.

The Summer Serenade concerts with the Bruce James Orchestra will be back at Pitt Meadows Spirit Square. It too started earlier this week, and will continue with shows at 7:30 p.m. on July 15, 22, 29, as well

as Aug. 5, 12, 19, and 26.

It will feature music from the 1940s to present day celebrated with big band style, and as performed by the nearly 20 orchestra members.

Not only does the Bruce James Orchestra get toes tapping, those interested should bring their dancing feet along if they’d like to move and groove to the sounds of swing.

For a diverse range of music with the Fraser River as a backdrop, check out Music on the Wharf, put on by the Maple Ridge Museum and Community Archives since 1997.

This year’s lineup includes acoustic soul and blues musician John Pippus on July 13 at 7:30 p.m. MoZayic, self-described as afro-soul takes the stage (or the wharf as the case may be) on July

27 at 7:30 p.m. and a bluegrass band called 5 On a String kicks things off at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 10. The one 7 p.m. show is on Aug. 24 with folk, acous-tic, soul artist Reid Jamieson.

To give the down-town Maple Ridge summer lunchtime blues the boot, take part in Lindy’s Dance Breaks on Wednesdays from July 15 to Aug. 12 at Memorial Peace Park.

Lindy Sisson, execu-tive and artistic direc-tor of The ACT, invites everyone to come out for a half hour of dance and moving in the park.

A new feature for downtown Maple Ridge is Pianos on the Street, an outdoor pub-lic piano project put on by the City of Maple Ridge, the Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association (DMRBIA), and the Piano Teachers Federation.

Although the project launched Wednesday evening, the piano itself will be available on the bandstand

in Memorial Peace Park until Sept. 26, said DMRBIA’s exec-utive director Ineke Boekhorst.

“It’s an opportunity for people to just sit down and play the piano anytime they’d like,” she added.

Pianos on the Street has placed dozens of pianos around the Lower Mainland.

“It’s really a posi-tive,” Boekhorst said.

This won’t look like your average concert piano. It has been painted with a theme of “compassion” by artists from the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living – under the guidance of Ilse Phillips and artist in residence Robi Smith.

“They just jumped right on the pro-gram really quickly,” Boekhorst said of the association’s involve-ment.

Although no formal events have been scheduled for the piano – beyond the launch – Boekhorst said the Maple Ridge Concert Band is set to use it as part of Twilight Tuesdays and piano teachers can set formal events if they so choose.

“We are very happy with bringing the piano to Maple Ridge,” she said.

Another activity in Memorial Peace Park is the Lunchtime Concert Series held every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in August at noon.

The lunch hour shows feature local talent in the south area of the park and every-one is invited to bring lunch and take in the hour of fun.

MAPLE RIDGE & PITT MEADOWS TIMESA12 Thursday, July 9, 2015 ENTERTAINMENT

A number of artists from Ridge Meadows Assoc-iation for Comm-unity Living, like Melissa Friesen, beautified the piano for Pianos on the Street.

School’s out but kids can still learn all about Pitt Meadows’ agricultural roots in a fun, interactive way.

RONDA [email protected]

“Moove” over bike rides, time spent at the lake, and pool parties, summer Thursdays are made for the Pitt Meadows Museum with Heritage Thursdays, designed for kids to explore agriculture while hav-ing a great time.

Today (July 9) is the first of seven unique afternoon ses-sions for kids aged five to 10.

Summer student organizer Kia Mansoor explained the pro-gram is a natural fit for a com-munity with agricultural roots like Pitt Meadows.

“Basically this summer’s theme is based around agricul-ture. I think, historically, Pitt Meadows has been an agricul-tural city,” she said. “And it still remains that way today.”

The program, entitled From Moo to Pooh, highlights every-thing from dairy farms to bees and honey (as in Winnie the ‘Pooh’ – although the other interpretation certainly applies to agriculture, as well).

All sessions run from 1 to 3 p.m. at the museum at 12294 Harris Rd. with a price of $6

per session or $39 for all seven.“It’s everything from fruits

and dairy farming, plants, herbs, bees, pollination,” Mansoor said. “Even things around farming like a rope making session and things from around the world.”

Today’s session is called Cool Compost where kids will learn how their efforts can help the environment. Making mini-composters is on the afternoon’s agenda along with releasing worms.

“Obviously, since Pitt Meadows is still very much an agricultural area, it’s very important for local kids to know what’s happening now, as well as the beginnings,” noted Mansoor.

Upcoming sessions include Pretty Plants, where kids will make chia pets and mini herb planters, Brilliant Bees which includes making mini bee shacks, Cow Crazy with tie dye T-shirts, rope making, soap making and a trip around the world in agriculture.

“You realize how important it [agriculture] really is,” Mansoor said. “You don’t really think about it when eating lunch or dinner, but it’s happening in our own backyard.

Spaces are limited and do fill up quickly. To register kids, contact Mansoor at the Pitt Meadows Museum at 604-0465-4322, [email protected], or www.facebook.com/pittmeadowsmuseum.

Buying a rubber duck puts folks in the running for seven great prizes as part of the July 19 Rotary Duck Race.

TROY [email protected]

Buy a duck, help kids in the community – it’s that simple.

For $10 apiece, people can purchase a ticket for a rubber duck that will be floated along the Alouette River, through Maple Ridge Park, next Sunday, July 19 during the annual fundraiser.

Each of the 10,000 ducks for sale has a number, and the first seven that cross the finish line will win its “owners” some very cool prizes.

Roughly 1,600 ducks are still available for “adoption” as the race approaches and are available at Rotary Duck Race committee chair Bob Shantz’s office, R D Shantz & Associates, at 22326 McIntosh Avenue.

Any remaining ducks will be sold on site the day of the event, until roughly 12:45 p.m.

The lucky duck whose inflatable floats across the finish line first will come away with a 2014 Dodge Dart, valued at $22,000, from Maple Ridge Chrysler.

The second place winner will be $2,000 richer.

Third prize is a Fuller Watson furniture package val-ued at $1,000.

Rounding out the list of prize winners: fourth is a $1,000 apparel gift certificate

from Mark’s; fifth nets two show tickets and a meet-and-greet at the River Rock in Richmond, plus dinner for four at Chances, valued at $1,000; sixth is two rounds of golf for four people, plus a cart to

use at Meadows Gardens; and seventh is a $600 40-inch flat screen TV from Haney Sewing and Sound.

The real win-ners from the race are the local youth groups who benefit from the number of tickets they are able to sell, as all proceeds support

youth organizations and youth projects in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

“For every duck that is sold, 100 per cent goes to local youth,” Shantz said

Also benefiting from the race is KidSport, which plays a vital role in getting young local ath-letes who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to, be part of a team and/or individual sport.

Shantz estimates that between 6,000 and 7,000 chil-dren benefited from last year’s duck race proceeds.

“When we have children who are busy and entertained, we have children who aren’t in trouble,” Shantz said, adding that “we in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows are very fortun-ate to have so many commun-ity-minded people.

Festivities on July 19 get underway at 11 a.m. with the race itself starting at 1 p.m.

Following the race is a family picnic, sponsored by the Meadow Ridge and Haney Rotary Clubs and Manulife Financial.

There will also be a variety of entertainment for all ages and several food trucks on site so, Shantz said, “most palates can be satisfied.”

“This year, we’re expand-ing activities for families and for young people, generally,” Shantz said.

“Kids aren’t just going to watch the ducks go down the river. They’re going to be to engaged in activities.”

ROTARY DUCK RACE

Ducks float to the finish to support youth groups

Rotary Duck Race tickets were sold in front of Planet Ice during the Ridge Meadows Home Show in May. Terry McWilliam adopted a duck in hopes of it crossing the finish line first during the July 19 race/fundraiser for youth groups at Maple Ridge Park.

Maple Ridge Burrards are offi-cially on a roll, despite what their record shows.

The Burrards won their third straight contest by outscoring the visiting Langley Thunder 12-9 at Planet Ice on Tuesday.

“We played a solid game,” Burrards head coach Chris Gill said. “It was probably our most consistent game of the year. We still need to cut down on our errors, but it was a hard fought battle.”

Even with the win, the Burrards are still a sub-par 5-7 on the sea-son and sit two points out of the fourth and final playoff spot in the seven-team Western Lacrosse Association standings.

A tough stretch in June, in which they lost four straight, is the reason why the Burrards have more losses than wins at this point of their campaign.

Gill said the Burrards are now in “playoff mode.”

“We have been talking that

playoffs are now and we have a good vibe in our room because of it,” he added. “We need to take care of our upcoming games but realize that we can’t look past any of our opponents moving for-ward.”

Tuesday’s game was tight until the third period, when the hosts outscored the Langley visitors 5-3.

Gill said momentum shift-ed when the Burrards start-ed sticking to their game plan and executing.

“Our defence has been playing well when we have been even strength

– aggressive but in control,” Gill said. “On the offensive side of things, we were moving the ball well and shot the ball very well.”

Ben McIntosh and Jarret Davis both had five-point nights with two goals and three assists apiece, while Riley Loewen netted a hat trick to lead the Burrards.

FINAL BUZZER: The Burrards will look for their fourth straight win tonight (Thursday, July 9) at the Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster, taking on the 7-5 Salmonbellies at 7:45 p.m.

SENIOR A LACROSSE

Surging Burrards outscore ThunderMaple Ridge Burrards made it three straight wins by beating the Langley Thunder on Tuesday – but they still have a lot of work to do.

Troy Landreville/TIMES

Maple Ridge Burrards’ Coady Adamson watched his shot sail past Langley Thunder goaltender Brodie MacDonald just 41 seconds into the first period of Tuesday’s Western Lacrosse Association game at Planet Ice. Adamson added two assists to his totals in a 12-9 Burrards victory.
