Corisa Bell spent a good part of her free time last Wednesday strategically placing anti HST signs along roadsides and boulevards.

Then she spent Friday trying to fig-ure out where they had all gone.

Most of the 100 signs, about 30 cen-timetres square, that she put up in Pitt Meadows, have disappeared with

about a third of those ending up with the city’s by-laws department.

City crews grabbed 38 of them, then e-mailed Bell, telling her she could come and pick them up.

Under the city’s sign bylaw, Sec. 5.3, election or political signs can’t be lo-cated along boule-vards, medians, roadsides, on bridges or in parks.

Bell led the campaign earlier this

year to recall Liberal MLA Marc Dal-ton because of his support of the HST.

Organizers then abandoned the re-call after the mail-in HST referendum was announced for June and July.

Director of legislative services Lau-rie Darcus said one individual com-plained Wednesday, requiring munici-pal staff to enforce the bylaw.

Bell had wondered about putting up the signs, but thought they’d be OK.

“I was shocked to hear it was actu-ally our city doing this.

“Clearly, somebody on the No side or probably a Liberal, had something to do with this complaint.”

Pitt Meadows takes down anti-HST signs

Nearing an endMaple Ridge secondary Grade 12 students Blake Rayment, Sung Min Won, Tanner Guraliuk, Steph Sturdy and Shannon Findlay pore over the school yearbook, which was handed out Monday. All other grades will get their yearbooks on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Doctor has to pay for patient’s pot

A doctor has been ordered to pay the president of a Maple Ridge marijuana dispensary more than $300,000 following a botched back surgery.

Michael Joinson, who heads the non-profi t Always Growing Green Society, which operates Taggs Med-ical Cannabis Dispensary, won a to-tal settlement of $310,289.14 to cover his loss of earnings and medical care as well as medications to treat pain, including cannabis capsules, dried marijuana and cannabis blended into baked goods such as cookies.

Dr. Navraj Heran, a neurosurgeon, admitted he was negligent while performing a surgery on Joinson’s lower back, but denied the surgery was solely responsible for the grad-ual onset of his chronic pain.

23213 Lougheed Hwy,Maple Ridge

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Wednesday, June 15, 2011 -- 3

Dozens of letter carriers stood with placards and signs outside the Maple Ridge Delivery Centre on Lougheed Highway Tuesday morning to protest Canada Post’s decision to cut mail service to three days a week.

The 48,000 members of the Ca-nadian Union of Postal Workers, which include local letter carriers and retail employees, have been without a contract since May 30 after the union rejected an offer from Canada Post. That contract offer would have seen the creation of a two-tier wage scale, reducing starting wages to $17 from close to $23 an hour.

As of this week, Canada Post has reduced mail delivery to Mon-days, Wednesdays, and Fridays in urban areas, and reduced staffi ng levels at mail processing plants across the country. Priority items will still be delivered fi ve days a week.

Most of Maple Ridge will be af-fected by the service reductions. Pitt Meadows, Whonnock, Ruskin, Rock Ridge, Silver Valley and other neighbourhoods serviced by rural and suburban carriers will not be affected, however, as those carriers belong to a differ-ent union.

Canada Post claims the service reductions are to meant to help the Crown corporation recoup mounting fi nancial losses after ro-tating strikes by Canadian Union of Postal Workers began two weeks ago. Since rotating strikes began, roughly 30 per cent of the country has experienced service disruption.

The uncertainty of where postal workers will strike from day-to-day has made it diffi cult to plan logistics and transportation, as well as staffi ng levels, according to Canada Post.

Joe Whitney, picketing in Maple Ridge on Tuesday, works in Port Coquitlam and said he’s been told if he can’t deliver the mail in eight hours to hold it until the next day.

“We’re here wanting to work,” said Dee Buchanan, another post-al worker. “They’re not letting us.”

Should rotating strikes contin-ue, Canada Post won’t be able to sustain its operations across the country, Canada Post stated in press release Tuesday.

“Canada Post is disappointed with the union’s refusal to accept the company’s fair and reasonable offer – one that provides job secu-rity, a defi ned benefi ts pension plan and annual wage increases. Therefore, the company is urging the union to accept its offer and not cause further inconvenience to Canadians.”

However, CUPW president Denis Lemelin claims Canada Post is hoping the government will force

a contract on postal workers.“Canada Post is doing every-

thing it can to provoke the union into a national walkout in the hope the government will intervene,” Lemelin said in a press release Monday. “They are not interested in negotiating with us to end this strike. They want to force postal workers to take concessions.”

So far, local post offi ces have not been targeted for strike action.

The Whonnock post offi ce in east Maple Ridge is one that won’t be effected by strike action.

“It should be business as usual,” says Sue Schulze, who manages the Whonnock post offi ce. “It might take a little bit longer for your mail to get where it’s going, but it’s really not effecting anyone that much.”

CUPW Local 704 president Cindy McDonnell, who represents local postal workers, said the two-tier wage scale Canada Post has pro-posed is troubling, and that work-ers are most concerned about the health and safety impacts of the contract.

In an effort to modernize the delivery of mail, Canada Post has included provisions that will result in letter carriers having to carry more at once, leaving them overburdened as they walk their routes.

“They already tried this in Win-nipeg, and injuries went through the roof,” said McDonnell. “Letter carriers already account for 76 per cent of the injuries [suffered by] Canada Post employees.”

Canada Post has also stopped paying out extended medical ben-efi ts to employees since the previ-ous contract expired two weeks ago.

“This is having a serious impact on the health of postal workers,” she said.

Canada Post says it must ad-dress labour costs as a result of a 17 per cent drop in letter-mail business since 2006 due to a rise in online bill payments and other electronic communications.

However, McDonnell contends that mail volumes have stayed steady in B.C.

“Certainly the make-up of the mail has changed; there are not as many letters,” she said. “But there is also been an increase of online ordering, and more ad mail.”

The last postal strike was in 1997, when posties walked out for two weeks before being legislated back to work.

THE NEWS

Maple Ridge not taking down HSTsigns

Rural, suburban routes will not be aff ected, however

HST from front

She pointed out the signs, which read Vote YES: Extinguish the HST, were funded by the $225,000 that FightHST got from the pro-vincial government.

“It’s the public who paid for those signs. It’s just a huge issue in B.C. right now. It’s one way of commu-nicating our side of the debate and they’re preventing us from doing that. It’s awful. It’s against our civil rights.”

Bell also spent fi ve hours putting up signs in Maple Ridge, along Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road and other streets then saw they too, about 200, were gone when she took her daughter to work.

“Yesterday they were there. To-day they’re not. It’s just so upset-ting.”

But District of Maple Ridge spokesman Fred Armstrong said staff haven’t removed any signs.

“None of our people have taken any of them. We do consider them sort of an election sign.”

Armstrong said political and election signs are exempt under the district’s sign bylaw and these fall into that category. The only time staff will touch a sign is if there are safety concerns.

The signs urge people to vote yes in the mail-in ballot in June and July to dump the HST and return to fi ve per cent Goods and Services Tax and a seven-per-cent provincial sales tax.

Bell said in the run-up to the May 2 federal election, she saw cam-paign signs in Pitt Meadows but Darcus pointed out the city would have had to have a complaint to remove them. Many election signs are located on private property, she added.

Bell added Monday that after Surrey reversed its policy and Chilliwack allowed the HST signs, “Pitt Meadows is the only area that is refusing to take any signs.”

Bell said she was proud to live in Maple Ridge.

“We’ve left messages with coun-cillors of Pitt Meadows, so I hope to have some return phone calls.”

Premier Christy Clark’s offi ce announced Friday that the federal government has amended its regu-lations, allowing B.C. to reduce the HST to 10 per cent by July 2014.

HST ballot packages must be received by Elections BC, a Ser-vice BC centre, or an Elections BC collection centre before 4:30 p.m., July 22,

Elections B.C.Elections B.C. has posted a list of loca-tions on its website (www.elections.bc.ca) of where voters can drop off HST referendum ballots if they’re concerned about mail deliveries. The ballots are supposed to be mailed out to house-holds starting June 13 in most of rural B.C. and starting June 20 in the Lower Mainland. They must be received by Elections B.C. by July 22.

The family of a Maple Ridge man brain-damaged following an assault outside a Maple Ridge bar is struggling to make ends meet while he recovers in hospital.

Cordell Dame ran his own business – Clean-Pro Janito-rial – the family’s only source of income.

Dame, 50, has remained at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster since police found him lying unconscious across the street from Shoot-ers Bar on Dewdney Trunk Road around 2 a.m. on May 1.

Trevor Harding, a resident of Tipperary, Ireland, faces one count of aggravated assault in connection with the beating.

The 34-year-old has been released from custody on $2,000 bail, but his passport has been seized.

The Dame family lost one of two cars in a recent accident and will be unable to renew the insurance on their second vehicle which expires at the end of the month because the truck is insured in Dame’s name.

His 22-year-old daughter is now trying to keep her father’s business afl oat as mortgage payments come overdue and bills pile up.

“They need all the help they can get,” said Dame’s younger sister Angie Wester.

Dame opened his eyes this week and has spoken a few words to family, but doctors are unable to say when he will be able to leave hospital or whether he will make a complete recovery.

Maple Ridge Chrysler has donated a car to the family for six months so they can continue to make daily trips to the hospital.

Trust accountA trust account has been set up to help the Dame family at Canada Trust. Donations can be made at any branch by quoting the transit number 91040 and account number 6477277. Cheques must be addressed to “Tina Dame”.


Two Maple Ridge men face fi rearms charges after a drunken shootout in Mission.

Ridge Meadows RCMP were called around 11:30 p.m. Saturday after shots were fi red by the occupants of a pickup truck, which had just left Stave Falls.

Offi cers found the pickup truck as it drove up to the intersection of 248th Street and Dewdney Trunk Road.

Police arrested the 22-year-old driver and found two guns that were inside the vehicle.

A 20-year-old man was arrested shortly after.“We do know that alcohol played a part in this

event, and want to warn the public about the possible serious consequences when there is a combination of alcohol and fi rearms,” said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.

The men were released from police custody with strict bail conditions.

Renter caughtSurveillance footage led police to a thief who stole

from the home of her landlord in Maple Ridge on Sunday.

Ridge Meadows RCMP allege the 36-year-old wom-an, who rents a basement suite in the house on 107th Avenue, was captured on camera around 9:30 a.m. entering the top fl oor, where she was not permitted to be.

Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said the woman took clothing from the house and left. Police viewed the surveil-lance video, and arrested the woman shortly after and also found the stolen items.

The woman was held in police custody overnight for a court appearance on Monday.

THE NEWS/opinion

VICTORIA – I re-cently bought a used vehicle. Bitter experi-ence with used cars sold privately led me to make the purchase at an established, reputable dealership, and I’m pleased with the result.

The fi rst car I ever bought was a private sale. A young man showed off the old car he had painted himself, while his mother smiled and offered homemade lemonade. Sold for $600.

The choice of drink proved appropri-ate when the engine clattered to a fi nal halt a week later. It was then I dis-covered that the crankcase contained mostly STP Oil Treatment, to conceal the engine’s true state.

At the dealership this spring, the har-monized sales tax was not a hot topic. Like most goods, new and used vehicles were subject to 12 per cent PST and GST before, and they are subject to 12 per cent HST now.

When I mentioned this in a news report last week, an astute reader in Nanaimo reminded me that it’s not quite that simple. Vehicles, boats and aircraft sold by private individuals are exempt from GST. This was one of the populist concessions the Mulroney government made in an effort to placate angry voters 20 years ago. In B.C., prior to July 2010, private sales were subject

to seven-per-cent PST only.During the hubbub over the imple-

mentation of the HST in its 2010 budget, the B.C. Liberal government also increased tax on private vehicle sales by fi ve per cent, from seven to 12 per cent. The stated reason was to provide “comparable treatment” for private and commercial sales of used vehicles.

This provoked an exchange of partisan accusations that typically passes for de-bate in the B.C. legislature. It’s a payoff to car dealers, the NDP screamed. You guys opposed all of our income tax cuts and now you’re pretending to support lower taxes, the B.C. Liberals yelled back.

Out in the real world, one can observe the effect of a tax structure that gives an advantage to private sellers.

Municipal governments call them “curbers.” They use their garage, drive-way and street to repair and market an endless series of used cars. Whether they are crooks or not, their efforts are every bit as appealing to the neighbour-hood as the guy with multiple illegal suites whose tenants plug up the park-ing for the whole block.

In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefi t. And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to test-drive.

The subject of used cars came up last week when NDP leader Adrian Dix be-latedly launched his own anti-HST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP

tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory.

Dix’s fi rst media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. The homeowner dis-missed the $350 HST rebate he has been offered to offset costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car.

This clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars. This is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters.

There are signs that people under-stand their taxes better, however. An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consump-tion rather than their income.

This week’s question: Are you concerned about local fl ooding this year?

B.C. Views Tom Fletcher

The City of Pitt Meadows is taking down anti-HST signs on public property.

Organizers of the campaign to recall Liberal MLA Marc Dalton over the HST placed 100 signs around the city last week, only to see them disappear. Mu-nicipal crews took credit for uprooting 38 of them, following a complaint to enforce a bylaw that pre-vents election or political signs from being placed along boulevards, medians, roadsides, on bridges or in parks.

The signs, which read “Vote YES: Extinguish the HST,” were funded by $225,000 given to FightHST by the provincial government, to provide balance leading up to the referendum, this month and next, on whether or not to repeal the blended tax.

The signs were also placed in Maple Ridge, where they are exempt from a sign bylaw because they are for political purposes.

Corisa Bell, who led the campaign earlier this year to recall Dalton because of his support of the HST, put up the signs. She suspects the complaint to re-move them came from someone who also supports the HST, a Liberal.

There is no shortage of Liberal support on Pitt Meadows council.

Pitt Meadows Couns. Doug Bing, Gwen O’Connell, Deb Walters and Tracy Miyashita wrote mes-sages on Facebook in support of Dalton, MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission, during the recall campaign. O’Connell even worked on his campaign to defeat the recall initiative. Mayor Don MacLean wrote a letter during the recall campaign, praising Dalton.

Coun. John Becker, along with his wife, Terry, helped with the campaign to elect Christy Clark as the B.C. Liberal Party leader.

Pitt Meadows is the only municipality known to be removing anti-HST signs.

The city had indicated earlier this year that it might review its sign bylaw after the November mu-nicipal election.

MacLean, who will not seek re-election, in particu-lar detests signs, claiming they are a form of “pollu-tion.” Yet he has used some during past elections.

Regardless of what he thinks, political signs are part of the democratic process; they create aware-ness, encourage involvement and, above all, are temporary.

They are not removed from public property dur-ing federal and provincial elections. Doing so now just seems self-serving.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: New condominium com-

plex riles residents of Copper-stone Ridge (The News, June 10).

My father and I currently own the two-acre property at 12297 – 222nd Street, which is adjacent to the site under de-velopment consideration.

We purchased the property in 2009, pleased to have such a lovely private space while still being in an urban envi-ronment.

In the article, John Kelly refers to his concerns about the variances requested by the developer and there are responses via the District of Maple Ridge (I presume),

which state that residents were sent letters and had their chance to speak.

Firstly, the development ap-plication posted on the prop-erty is from 2008 and shows a meeting for June of that year. It has been on the property since then and when I called municipal hall about it, I was informed that the application was not going forward.

The sign has never been re-moved or changed.

Secondly, the letter that was sent out was dated May 19, 2011, which was a Thurs-day. I would be surprised if it made it into the post on that day as most mail is sent out at the end of the day. Ergo, mail

would have left on Friday. It was a long weekend so there was no delivery on Monday. That means that the sorting process may or may not have been done until the Tuesday. That leaves four days and then another weekend before the council meeting on Mon-day.

The chances of everyone getting their chance to speak were negligible.

I did not receive the letter until two days after the meet-ing.

After having this project tabled for so long, to have it rushed through in this man-ner is ridiculous.

I understand the district’s

position on densifi cation, but not at the expense of cur-rent residents by having this kind of apartment building in an area that is clearly not ready for it. All the surround-ing homes are single family dwellings on septic.

Copperstone Ridge, on the north side of the proposed site, has been done in a tasteful manner that has maintained the integrity of the space and has been a welcome addition to the area.

Something similar would have been much more suit-able that the buildings that are proposed.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Ex-premier at HST

session in Maple Ridge (The News, June 10).

Congratulations and thank you, Corisa Bell and your fel-low activists.

You have accomplished what many people have been looking for, namely a good look by the government at the HST and changes in the mak-ing that will be of benefi t to most people, especially lower income families and seniors.

This includes a two-staged reduction in the tax rate from 12 to 10 per cent and rebates of $175 per person at the end of this year for many in the aforementioned categories.

Admittedly, not everyone will benefi t as much because

of too high an income, but that is also what most people are asking for.

So, all is well and a good reason to vote no to the up-coming referendum.

However, there could be a fl y in the ointment, so to speak, and that is if we still let our original anger infl uence our rational decision making.

We must let bygones be by-gones, step over it and make an informed decision.

Over the ages, a multitude of prominent people have spoken out about the devas-tating consequences of hold-ing a grudge or acting out of anger.

Here are a few of them:“Anger blows out the lamp

of the mind,” Robert G. Inger-

soll.“Holding on to anger is like

grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at some-one else: you are the one who gets burned,” attributed to Buddha.

And a Korean proverb: “If you kick a stone in anger, you’ll hurt your own foot”.

To see a long list of such ad-vice, just Google “anger” or “consequences of anger”. It is very sobering.

For sure, vote for or against extinguishing the HST, if you are convinced of the right choice, but may it be an in-formed decision.

As for half-truths and mis-information, that comes from all sides.

Adrian Dix says that the

public should vote for a “re-turn to the seven percent pro-vincial sales tax” and that we should return to the PST, but neglects to add “to the PST and GST.”

And when the latest poll suggests the support against the HST is now at 56 per cent, down from the previous 80 per cent, Dix says that this is not surprising, given the $5 million the government is spending promoting the HST.

Here he deliberately ig-nores the fact that it is very well possible that the voting public is fi nally becoming far better informed by doing their homework.

EDITOR, THE NEWS: Re: Move to home care rankles seniors advocates (The

News, June 8)Thanks so much for publishing Robert Mangelsdorf’s

piece about home care. In the article, Mr. Mangelsdorf shines a light on reali-

ties many of us prefer not to think about. We ignore the plight of these seniors at our own risk, however, since none of us are immune to the diffi culties they face.

We know of a number of chronic health conditions which result in the sufferer being unable to function well in their own homes.

Conditions such as dementia slowly rob a person of the ability to look after a home and keep up their personal hygiene. Sadly, many of these conditions are incurable and progressive. People living alone without a supportive network of friends or family close at hand can sometimes be found in appalling conditions, as noted by the building manager of Maple Ridge Towers, Peter Church.

While keeping people in their homes as long as possible is a laudable goal, those who develop health conditions which impair their judgement will need a lot of support if they are to stay in their homes safely.

Clearly, this support is not always there when it is need-ed.

In a prosperous province such as ours, we need to make sure that our health care system is there for everybody if and when they need it.

Putting appropriate supports in place for those of us with the misfortune of having a condition such as demen-tia should be a no-brainer.

As long as the RV fi ts, let it sit.

Or maybe require recreational vehicles, whatever the size, to be set back at least 1.6 metres (fi ve feet) from a home’s property line.

How about allowing only smaller RVs, un-der eight metres (26 ft.) in front yards while anything larger has to go along the side of the house or back – with requirements to keep 1.6 m (fi ve feet) away from any property line?

Those are some pos-sible solutions to Ma-ple Ridge’s RV ruckus as council reviews its regulations on recre-ational vehicles.

Like or hate the ideas?

You can voice your views at an open house June 29 at municipal hall.

In the meantime, people won’t have to worry about having machines longer than 7.5 m on their proper-ties. A stall on enforc-ing the old bylaw will remain in place until new rules are written, council affi rmed Mon-day.

The limit on RV lengths, date back to 1985, when Maple Ridge wrote its bylaw on RVs, setting the lim-it for residential prop-erties at 7.5 m (24.6 ft) in length. Since then, the average length of an RV has grown to 14 m.

The District of Maple Ridge is reviewing its zoning bylaw that deals with storage of RVs after many resi-dents complained of getting letters from the bylaws department and removal orders – after years of keeping

them on their premises without complaint.

Coun. Linda King said any changes have to be clear to make it as easy as possible for bylaws offi cers to en-force.

“We really want to minimize the discre-tionary component that they [bylaw of-fi cers] may be called upon to exercise.”

Following the open house, council will con-sider the comments, then draft changes to the bylaw, which re-quires a public hear-ing.

Staff looked at RV regulations in Chilli-wack, Abbotsford, Langley, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Mis-sion, Burnaby and Pitt Meadows and others.

Each community has rules on where RVs can be parked on lots and what kind of set-backs from property lines are required and the number of RVs al-

lowed on each lot.RVs often are parked

for long periods and are larger than small sheds, which would re-quire building permits, bylaws director Liz Holitzky told council in a report.

The size of each resi-dential lot could also play a role in what and where RVs are stored.

Staff research found that four cities had no restriction in RV size while North Vancou-ver city allowed RVs of up to 12 metres long (40 ft.) in enclosures, in back yards only.

Coun. Al Hogarth pointed out some ar-eas he’s seen have RVs parked in metal cages. “It’s not very pretty.”

Holitzky also pointed out other areas, such as people renting out their driveways for RV parking and ensuring sightlines aren’t ob-scured, and recogni-tion of lot size, need consideration in any new bylaw.

Pitt Meadows is do-ing its own review of the issue.

Coun. Craig Speirs said trailers people use for work should also be included and asked if people are allowed to live in RVs full-time.

Not under Maple Ridge bylaws, Holitzky replied.

On the street, RVs only can be parked in one spot for 48 hours.

Coun. Cheryl Ashlie wanted to ensure e-mails and letters will be given equal stature to comments made at the open house.

Keep a close eye on Kanaka Creek and the Alouette rivers be-cause it’s runoff time in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and the water is running high and fast.

Local rivers and streams are near peak levels, says the District of Maple Ridge, and it’s advising parents to

ensure their kids are wearing life jackets if they’re near the South or North Alouette or Kanaka Creek.

District spokesperson Ceri Marlo said par-ents should check out the river themselves before allowing their kids near the water.

Meanwhile, the Fraser River hit 5.7 metres on the Mission gauge Thursday, trig-gering the start of Ma-ple Ridge’s fl ood man-agement plan. That calls for daily patrols of the entire diking system, once the riv-

er’s level hits 5.5 me-tres. Regular checks of other areas started when the level reached fi ve metres.

Pitt Meadows crews are also constantly checking the 64 kilo-metres of dikes sur-rounding that city.

In Maple Ridge, staff are focusing on the Wharf Street area in Hammond, on the river side of the dike.

If the Mission gauge hits six metres, the district could issue an evacuation alert for the Wharf Street area.

If the Mission gauge

hits 6.3 metres, an evacuation order could be considered.

“These are all guides. There are other factors that could be involved in these decisions,”

Marlo said.If the Mission gauge

hit 6.9 metres, an evac-uation alert would be considered for the area around Interfor’s Ham-mond cedar mill.

“We have a plan. We are following the plan at this time with the freshet.”

Commercial and in-dustrial property own-ers along the Fraser River already have tak-en measures to ensure that equipment and other infrastructure are protected against the possible high wa-ter levels and fast river

fl ow.According to a Friday

release, anyone work-ing or playing near local rivers should be wearing life jackets.

“A person falling into the river can be swept along very rapidly, and the combination of high water levels and rapid water fl ow generate more debris, which can be a challenge for even

strong swimmers.”According to the

River Forecast Centre, the Fraser will be un-der six metres at the Mission gauge over the weekend.

The Mission gauge is located on the railway bridge between Mis-sion and Abbotsford and has been recording river levels for more than a century.

Historic Haney, between the Fraser River and Lougheed Highway, will keep changing and improv-ing, nudged along with a bit of money from the municipality.

On Monday, council approved spending $15,000 to keep the Port Haney Neighbourhood Change Project going for another year.

The project started last year to create a vision for the area and develop a plan for im-provement, fix prob-lems and start specific projects.

In its first 10 months, the Port Haney change initiative has drawn about 40 people to its events and has month-ly meetings, an e-mail list, a chairperson and spokespeople.

With a framework in place, it has identi-fied safety concerns and addressed them, such as fixing missing street lights, demol-ishing unsafe build-ings, and general cleanup while a sub-committee will look at illegal parking, people running stop signs, speeding and jaywalk-ing across the Haney Bypass.

During Christmas, about 15 residents went carolling and had hot chocolate af-terwards at the One Way Club while a cleanup day April 30 hauled out garbage from a municipal lot on 223rd Street.

Plans are in the works for a Port Haney Day celebra-tion in September.

Coun. Mike Morden wanted to see the con-cept expanded to oth-

er communities that could use the same amount of attention.

“To me, there’s no downside to this.”

The project wants to continue its work next year so it can expand its membership and figure out a way of for-malizing its existence.

It also wants to take part in the district’s affordable housing strategy.

Coun. Craig Speirs says he’s noticed the difference since the Port Haney project has been active.

“There’s been some major changes, pal-pable changes, you can tell. This is what it was all about.”

But that improve-ment could be hap-pening at the expense of other areas, such as 240th Street or far-ther east, added Coun. Judy Dueck.

“We are definitely seeing an increase in certain behaviours.”

The area is develop-ing a certain amount momentum, added Coun. Linda King.

“I think we need to continue this project.” She moved the recom-mendation to ask staff to do a budget amend-ment to find the extra money.

Last year, the proj-ect had $25,000 to help pay for a consultant. This year, it needs only $15,000 – $8,000 for consultant’s fees, Port Haney Day, and the parking, speeding and traffic commit-tee, $6,000 for identi-fying the features of the area and $1,000 for meeting expenses.

Mayor Ernie Daykin said more talk is needed in budget dis-cussions on how to extend the project to other areas.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Neighbourhood Building in Cottonwood North

ENGAGED: Canada Day

INFORMED: Spring Runoff Update

INFORMED: Canada Day Hours

INFORMED: 2011 Tax Notice

Staff at the District of Maple Ridge and the Province of BC have been closely monitoring water levels on the Fraser River. The current fl ood risk for Maple Ridge and other areas of the Lower Fraser River is ‘average’ at this time. Citizens have noted that the river level is high, and that water is fast moving at this time. Based on the combination of water level readings from throughout the Fraser River system as far north as Prince George, combined with rainfall and temperature projections for the next 5 days, the Fraser River is not projected to rise much greater than the current range over the next few days.

While the risk of fl ooding is average, all residents who access area waterways for commerce or recreation are advised to remember the importance of wearing life jackets as the fl ow rate for all area rivers and streams are at, or near, their peak levels. A person falling into the river can be swept along very rapidly, and the combination of high water levels and rapid water fl ow generate more debris which can be a challenge for even strong swimmers. While the focus at this time of year is along the Fraser River, the Alouette River and Kanaka Creek, both popular locations for swimming and tubing have elevated fl ow rates and the associated risks for citizens. Parents are reminded to make sure that their children playing in the river are wearing life vest as a precaution.

The primary measurement used by our community is a reading from the ‘Mission Gauge’ which is located on the Rail Bridge that spans from Abbotsford to Mission. That structure has been there since the late 1800s, and has provided a benchmark for water levels for over a century.

The readings from that gauge are available online at http://www.wateroffi ce.ec.gc.ca/graph/graph_e.html?stn=08MH024 and allow for graphing of data going back to 2009.

Further updates will be provided periodically throughout the late spring and early summer. Look for the latest information at mapleridge.ca.

Taxes are Due Monday July 4Due to a labour disruption at Canada Post, the 2011 tax notices were mailed out a bit early this year. If you have not received your 2011 Property Tax Notice you should contact us immediately at 604-467-7336.

Accompanying your tax notice is a yellow information sheet outlining the methods you can use to pay your taxes and apply for your Home Owner Grant. Take a few minutes to review this information sheet. A few minutes of reading could save you a lot of time. In particular, the information sheet highlights how you can apply for your home owner grant online and details how to sign up for the Pre-Authorized Withdrawal System (PAWS) so you can ‘pre-pay’ your 2012 taxes in ten monthly installments.

Using the information on the upper left hand corner of your Property Tax Notice you can apply for your Home Owner Grant online in about fi ve minutes. Then you can pay any outstanding tax balance using the methods outlined on the yellow information sheet.

Remember, property taxes need to be paid by Monday, July 4, 2011. For those who prefer to pay their taxes in person, the Tax section of Municipal Hall will be open until 8:00 pm on Thursday June 16, Thursday June 23 and Thursday June 30. You can also use the drop box located in the lobby of Municipal Hall during offi ce hours or the outside drop box located near the Municipal Hall entrance which faces towards the library entrance.

Honouring HenkOn Sunday, June 9, a very special presentation took place at a neighbourhood party organized by residents of the Cottonwood North neighbourhood. Mayor Daykin presented a Good Neighbour Award posthumously to Hendrik Frederick Van Staalduinen, known affectionately by his nickname ‘Henk’ by everyone in the neighbourhood.

Mayor Daykin talked about how people make neighbourhoods, not buildings, and Henk was one of those special people who cared about his neighbours and his community. His neighbours gathered for a great ‘Fiesta Day’

which included a great potluck meal, lots of activities for the kids, and then at 6:00 pm everyone gathered to honour Henk. As part of the dedication, a community bulletin board called ‘Henk’s Happenings’ which will become a permanent fi xture in the ’Tot Lot’ playground at

Cottonwood North was unveiled. Built by Ian Dingwall with some help from his neighbours, this bulletin board will serve to connect neighbours the way Henk did when he was with us.

Clint van Blanken, community volunteer, addresses his neighbours and speaks to the effect that Henk had on him and all of the residents of the neighbourhood.

Join the Celebration at Memorial Peace Park!Nothing signals the beginning of summer in Maple Ridge more than our Canada Day celebration located in the heart of our Town Centre at Memorial Peace Park (224 Street between Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road). This is a great family event, and as usual, it’s FREE thanks to the work of the amazing community volunteers in Maple Ridge. Festivities will begin at 10:00 am and continue until 4:00 pm.

This year the celebration will be anchored by the Haney Farmers Market who invite you to drop by and enjoy all that they have to offer. After visiting the Farmers Market, enjoy all the interactive activities for children and families and the ‘offi cial’ fl ag raising ceremonies and awards that will begin at 12:30 pm. There will be singing, dancing, tons of activities, great food and fun throughout the day. Don’t forget to participate in our neighbourhood “Show Your Colours for Canada Day Contest.” Look for details about all the activities in our local newspapers.

According to a writ-ten judgement released last week, Joinson said he smoked ap-proximately 10 grams of marijuana a day to treat pain in his back and knee.

A property twice rejected for subdivi-sion by Pitt Meadows council failed to pass another application for rezoning last week.

The owners of 11631 Bonson Road have fi led an application to re-zone the 1,703-square-metre lot from subur-ban residential to one family dwelling, split-ting the property in two via a “panhandle.”

The application, how-ever, drew vocal criti-cism from neighbours, including several who spoke out when the same property was pitched for rezoning in 2005 and 2006.

“My reasons for not wanting a panhandle development have not changed,” Karen Geor-gi told city council at a public hearing June 7.

“This development doesn’t improve our

neighbourhood. Al-lowing a panhandle on this property would set a precedent for the whole neighbour-hood.”

Marcie Anderson was speaking against the rezoning proposal for the third time.

“I question what kind of neighbours the own-ers of this property are

that they would revisit for the third time this zoning proposal when opposition was so well expressed in the past,” she said.

A report by city staff, however, found the property met the requirements of Pitt Meadows “infi ll pol-icy,” which seeks to increase density in ur-

ban areas. Council did not pro-

ceed with a third read-ing, but instead sent the rezoning applica-tion back to staff so they can take a sec-ond look at city policy concerning panhandle lots.

staff reporter

Get ready for a few traffic delays in Pitt Meadows this summer as crews begins to dig up pavements to lay down new roads and water lines.

The city will begins its $2.1 capi-tal works program at the end of the month and expects work to continue until the end of Septem-ber.

Engineering services coordina-tor Ike De Boer said the biggest project for this year and the one that’s most likely to cause traffic headaches is the repaving planned for Old Dewdney Trunk Road.

“The contractors haven’t decid-ed whether they are going to do it at night yet,” he added.

“But it will go fairly quickly. It’s just the traffic we have to worry about.”

Crews will be stripping the road’s top surface and replace it with two inches of new asphalt.

Contractors hired to do the work

will try to keep disturbances to a minimum and residents in the area will be notified in advance of planned work.

De Boer reminds motorists to slow down and follow the instruc-tion of traffic controllers.

Jeanette Plein refuses to take Bailey for a long stroll anymore.

She will only walk the six-year-old Basenji-Terrier-cross out of her building door and quickly lead her back inside.

“I’m just too scared,” said Plein, whose dog Bailey was bitten by another dog while walk-ing on 121st Avenue in Maple Ridge on Friday around 7:30 p.m.

Bailey suffered several deep puncture wounds on her abdomen in the attack and required sur-gery and stitches.

A brown- and black-coloured dog pinned the much-smaller Bailey to the road and only let go

after being pulled away by its owner.

Plein said the man of-fered to pay for Bailey’s vet bills, but she hasn’t been able to contact him since.

“If the owner hadn’t jumped on his dog, I’m sure Bailey wouldn’t be here,” said Plein, who has so far spent more than $500 on vet bills and medication.

The B.C. SPCA is look-ing for the owner of the other dog, which is believed to be a pit bull-cross.

Mark Vosper, who manages the Maple Ridge branch, said all dogs must be leashed in public areas, under the District of Maple Ridge bylaw.

Rip out that rose plant and install a turnip.Cut down that ornamental shrub and plant some

pumpkins or potatoes.Do it in a nice way and you might win a gift certif-

icate from the Haney Farmers Market if you enter the Front Yard Food Garden Contest.

Maple Ridge’s agricultural advisory committee is holding the fi rst annual event open to gardens in three sizes.

To enter, go to mapleridge.ca, fi ll out an entry form and submit a small photo showing your front yard in a before photo, then e-mail everything to [email protected] by June 30.

Judging will take place in late August and win-ners will be announced at the Golden Harvest event that promotes local agriculture, Oct. 14.

“We see this as a fairly low-tech way of promot-ing more food production within city limits,” said Diana Hall, staff liaison on the agricultural com-mittee.

“It’s basically to celebrate the beauty of food-pro-ducing plants,” and to have people realize there are options to lawns that require lots of attention with not a lot of benefi ts.

Many front-yard gardens can become ornamen-tal, using good layout and following the French potager tradition of a kitchen garden that grows vegetables and herbs for the household.

“One thing I would say about a vegetable garden, it’s quiet, meditative work,” Hall said.

Growing food in the front yards also gives an-other option for residents who have a north-facing backyard.

It’s wise to have resilience in a community for food production so it’s possible to adapt if food prices increase, she added.

Another option would be to go directly to the offi ce and fi ll out the en-try form there.

The entry form and payment deadline is July 11.

Special prizes will be awarded to exhibitors who create an item that best represents the ’70s theme.

Other gifts and prizes are also featured in each section.

“This is your oppor-tunity to showcase how

beautiful your hydran-geas are, or how deli-cious your blueberry loaf is and your chance to win fantastic prizes for them,” said organiz-ers.

“If you have a talent for woodworking, pho-tography or baking, the Country Fest is a great place to display your works and receive rec-ognition for your special talent.

“Thousands of people will visit the Home Arts and Gardening Building to see the exhibitors’ projects, so make sure it’s your best work yet.”

Country Fest is an an-nual summer event for

the entire family. “It is the ideal place

to share your personal and family masterpiec-es with the community and create memories for your family’s future.

“Every year, exhibi-tors enter their cre-ations at the Country Fest to celebrate their talents. Be sure to enter this year and partake in the festivities.”

This will be the fourth consecutive year the gate at Country Fest will be free.

“So all Kids Can Play.”

That is the KidSport tag line.

The new Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows chapter of KidSport is excited about the Ro-tary Duck Race, July 31.

The first $25,000 raised through this fundraiser will go to

KidSport to help offset registration costs so every child to age 18 can participate in local organized sports.

Kidsport is a com-munity funded group receiving no govern-ment funding.

If you are a sport organization or youth organization, you can get a double kick at

this fundraiser. First, if your orga-

nization qualifies, by selling ducks you could be eligible to re-ceive a minimum of 50 per cent of the funds you raise selling the ducks.

Second, if your orga-nization qualifies, you can benefit from Kid-sport in offsetting the

registration costs of children with financial barriers.

Looking ahead to June 21, we think “Oh, that’s

our longest day of the year, the summer solstice.”

But why has that been such an important date through the ages?

After all, the sun is in the sky only a little bit longer than the days before, although if you noted carefully – through very dark glasses – you would see that it actually seems to stand still briefl y. Hence summer solstice: sol for sun; and stice, a deriva-tion of the Latin word sistere – to stand still.

The fi rst offi cial day of summer has been cel-ebrated almost forever. The Druids called it All Couples Day, when the wedding of heaven and earth took place. Ever wondered why June has traditionally been a favoured month for weddings?

At Stonehenge in early Britain three to fi ve millenia ago, thousands gathered to welcome the sunrise and couples would drink from newly

fermented honey, or mead. Bet most of you didn’t know that’s where our word honey moon comes from. Only now, of course, they’re more likely to celebrate with a trip away and mai tais or margeritas.

Pagan summer solstice rites included wearing garlands of fl owers and herbs, as protec-tion against evil spirits abroad at the time. Well, brides still carry fl owers, though we hope no evil spirits are in the wedding crowd.

An interesting side-bar to this is that one of the herbs, or fl owers, the ancients used was St. John’s Wort which, to this day, is used by some as a non-medical alternative to combat depression. So while the ancients used it to chase away evil spirits, we may use it to lift our own.

As a further aid to their future well-being, couples in those times might jump over bonfi re fl ames: their crops would grow as high as they could jump.

Ancient Celts marked the summer solstice with a light festival, and again, the long days were to produce good harvests later.

For the Chi-nese, the earth and feminine, or yin, forces were honored at this time, as opposed to the heavens and masculine or yang forces at the winter solstice.

The ancient Romans worshipped in particu-lar the goddess of the hearth in June.

Other cultures were more concerned with the physical characteris-tics of this solar system phenomenon. The Essenes, for instance, a Jewish sect that thrived in the fi rst century CE (AD), worshipped the sun particularly on the solstice day when its rays shone on a certain axis.

And many native Americans built structures devoted to showing the sun’s ray in a particular spot on the solstice, or equinox.

Christianity too has its link with the sum-mer solstice, with the

celebration of St. John the Baptist’s Day on June 24th. As people

converted to Christianity 2,000 years ago and later, they simply adapted earlier pagan festivals to feast days for certain saints. In this case, early French colonists of future Canada brought with them St. Jean Baptiste Day,

now a public holiday in Quebec. If we were visiting there we would see, in addition to the church celebration of the saint, rock concerts, sports events, parades, fi reworks – and in the neighborhoods, BBQs, picnics and all the other things people do to have fun together in the sum-mertime.

So when you look up at the midsummer sun in the heavens on June 21, think of all the millenia it has shone down on human beings celebrating the time of weddings, bountiful crops in the offi ng – and a good time being had by all.

Carla Reed, Maple Ridge Historical Society.

Aimee Payne performs a jazz routine at a competition.

THE NEWS/arts&lifeSection coordinator:Monisha Martins 604-467-1122 ext. [email protected]

First-time author inspired by the creator

Ridge dancer wins provincials

Aimee Payne literally lives to dance.

The 17-year-old takes nine classes a week, learning hip-hop, con-temporary, jazz, ballet and tap, and even gives up weekends to travel to Vancouver to learn from other chore-ographers.

“Honestly, every time I get up on stage, even in classes, it feels like my heart’s on fi re,” says Payne, who just graduated from Thomas Haney sec-ondary and trains at Peggy Peat School of Dance.

“It feels so good.”It seems that all the hard work

Payne’s putting into dancing is paying off.

Last week, she swept the senior stage category at the provincial dance cham-pionships, beating out 18 other dancers for the prize.

Payne was selected for the provin-cials from the Surrey Festival of Dance, one of the largest in North America.

“I just feel like it’s a nice way to end my year,” Payne says.

This summer, she heads to L.A. with Triple Threat presents Next Step, a pro-gram that helps dancers break into the Los Angeles dance scene.

“My dream since I’ve been 11 is to dance in L.A.,” says Payne.

Before she heads to L.A., she’ll fl y to Las Vegas to compete with other danc-ers from Peggy Peat and return to B.C. for the Fusion Dance Camp, which she attends every summer.

Payne will spend August dancing in shows at the PNE.

“I’m in a dream when I’m up there,” she says. “It’s unreal. Every time I take a class or perform, my passion just grows strong.”

Another Peggy Peat dancer –Cassidy Corrigan – was selected to compete in the provincials from the Pacifi c West Festival as junior stage representative (ages 10-12).

Aimee Payne heads to L.A. this summer to crack the dance scene


Darrell Swanson’s idea for his first book was born decades ago.

Daunted slightly by the idea of writing a novel, Swanson began the outline of a “story.”

“I never really put a time frame on complet-

ing it, but it bugged me that I may become just another wannabe writer and procrastinate unto the grave,” he says.

“To me, that’s not a modus operandi; I like to finish what I start.”

In a fit of frustration, he contacted a friend who is a published author.

Over lunch, he learned the “in’s and out’s” of writing a book and was referred to Roxane

Christ, an editor, who helped him flush out what would become The Bodacious Descendant. The self-published book was released in March.

The Bodacious Descendant is the first of a se-ries of adventure, intrigue and romance-filled novels by Swanson.

It tells the story of Caleb, a direct descendant of Otzi, the European iceman.

Caleb possesses unparal-leled powers. He can walk on water and raise the dead.

The Bodacious Descen-dant takes readers into to a prehistoric world fi lled with dinosaurs and long-extinct creatures as it journeys from one suspenseful plot to the next confronting terrorism, CIA covert operations and kidnapping.

Swanson’s reasons for writing the book came from watching society erode into a “complacent, narcissistic, helpless and desperate state.

“Because of the erosion of faith and the pro-motion of the religion of human secularism, moral integrity, love for our fellow man, even a healthy love for ourselves is glaringly missing,” he says.

“We are happy to bow at the altar of technol-ogy, but not to give one iota of thanks to our cre-ator. This story is about someone who discovers he has God’s powers and is called upon to use them. My hope is that you will be inspired to seek the creator.”

Swanson grew up in a farming community near Wawota, Saskatchewan. Besides presently owning his own distribution company, he is a musician and artist.

• Darrell Swanson will be signing copies of his book The Bodacious Descendant at House of James, 2743 Emerson Street in Abbotsford on Saturday, June 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The book is available online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and OffTheBookshelf.com.

Biennale opens at Ridge art gallery

The Maple Ridge Art Gallery has joined forces with four other galleries for a joint exhibition celebrating visual arts talent throughout the Fraser Valley.

The intention of “The Fraser Valley Biennale” was to mount simultaneous displays of work throughout the summer at two locations in Abbotsford, as well as Maple Ridge, Langley and Mission.

Wherever possible, the selected artists have been invited to show their work outside their ‘home’ mu-nicipalities so that their work is given exposure to new audiences.

“What the jurors were really looking for was solid, consistently professional work in any medium,” said Maple Ridge Art Gallery curator Barbara Duncan. “The overall concept was to show some of the amaz-ing talent we have in such a wide variety of disciplines here in the Fraser Valley. It’s time that diversity was celebrated on a regular basis, and the intention is to mount this show every two years – hence the name biennale.”

Another feature of the biennale is that artists work-ing in any medium were eligible.

Abbotsford artist Bente Hansen was one of the art-ists selected to show work at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery.

Her painting, The Edge, with its broad sweep of energy and colour, seems to describe a feeling and a landform simultaneously.

(Rafuse) Wilkes are in awe of their classmate Cathy Emmerson.

When their friend packed up her bags and headed to Rwanda to run a school for orphans eight years ago, the pair pledged they’d do all they could to support her.

“Cathy’s getting a lot of recog-nition for her work in Africa, but we wanted to bring it home,” said Chipperfi eld, who is organizing a fundraiser dance with Wilkes this Saturday.

A former Maple Ridge realtor, Emmerson currently runs a free-of-charge school called PREFER (Pov-

erty Reduction Education Family Empowerment in Rwanda), which helps educate and care for children who would otherwise be out on the streets. Her friends hope to raise at least $5,000 for the project.

The fundraiser, featuring the Free Time Band, takes place on Satur-day, June 18, starting at 8 p.m. at Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall located at 12460 Harris Road.

Tickets are a minimum donation of $20 and a donation to the Mead-ow Ridge Food Bank.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income up to $40,000.

business PROFILEADVERTORIAL

Hungry? For breakfast or lunch. There’s a new restaurant in town, and it’s

very different from your usual lunch and dinner place.

Richard Dys, co-owner of the new De Dutch Pannekoek House in Maple Ridge, on Lougheed Highway near 203 Street, said the restaurant’s focus on breakfast and lunch foods separates it from the crowd.

“We’re unique in doing breakfast and lunch only,” Dys said. “We’re open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.”

Pannekoeken aren’t your average pancake, either.

“Our unique thing is Pannekoeken ,” Dys said. “They’re about 12 inches, light and thin, like a crepe.”

De Dutch offers a wide selection of Pannekoeken and toppings, including many that aren’t conventionally associated with pancakes.

“We have a variety of sweet or savoury flavours,” Dys said. “We’ve got everything from strawberries and whipped cream to bacon, mushroom, cheese, onions and green peppers to cheddar, apple and salmon with Hollandaise sauce.”

In keeping with the restaurant theme, De Dutch also offers Pannekoeken in traditional Dutch style.

“There’s stroop, it’s a Dutch syrup we use,” Dys said.

It’s not just Pannekoeken on the menu, though. There’s something for everyone,including omelette-style scrambles with everything from salmon to salami, multiple varieties of eggs Benedict, hashbrowns, bratwurst and turkey bacon and vegetable dishes.

Dys said his staff is focused on making sure each customer has the best possible experience.

“It is all about the customers,” he said. “We try to make it an experience they’ve never had before.”

On that front, one area De Dutch focuses on, in particular, is providing a good dining experience for families. The restaurant has features like wireless internet and an extensive kids menu.

“We’re really kid-friendly,” Dys said. “We have a kids menu, we really try to cater to families with children. … It gives parents a piece of mind.”

Dys and co-owner Mike Gemmell own two other De Dutch locations, in Port Coquitlam

(on Lougheed Highway near Westwood Street) and North Vancouver (on West 3rd Street, near Bewicke Avenue). He said they’ve been targeting an expansion to Maple Ridge for quite some time.

“We’ve been wanting to be out here for the past three to four years,” Dys said.

The location that became available in Westgate Centre provided them the impetus to make the move.

“The location’s great,” Dys said. “Being on Lougheed Highway, it’s a prime location in Maple Ridge. With Starbucks and Save-On Foods there, there’s a lot of walk-up traffic.”

For Dys, the business is a family tradition. He got into it right out of high school and hasn’t looked back since.

“My dad’s the founder of the whole chain,” Dys said. “When I was 19, he offered me a chance to open my own location.”

He and Gemmell started business together right away, but that was just an extension of a decades-long friendship.

“We’ve been best friends since Grade Four,” Dys said. “We went to high school together, played soccer together, graduated together.”

They opened the Maple Ridge location Feb. 12. Dys said the key to their success with other locations has been great customer service, which they’re hoping to repeat in Maple Ridge.

“We do go for customer service,” he said. “At my Port Coquitlam location, about 70 per cent of my customers are repeat customers.”

Delivering that dining experience and customer satisfaction remains a priority for Dys at the new Maple Ridge location.

“We want to let people here know what we’re about.”

Robert Mangelsdorf/THE NEWS

Garibaldi secondary’s Robyn Timmer is headed to Alaska after landing a scholarship with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

The Maple Ridge Burrards didn’t get the start they looking for Sunday night at home against the Langley Thunder, but they got the result they wanted as they overcame a four-goal deficit to win 11-10.

“We didn’t make things easy on our-selves, but I think the fact we were able to come back shows we are confident in our abilities,” said Bur-rards coach Daren Fridge. “We just need to work on getting a consistent effort to avoid getting into that position to begin with.”

The Burrards im-prove to 3-3 this sea-son in Western La-crosse Association action with the win, and move into fourth place in the WLA standings.

The Burrards fell behind early Sunday night as the Lang-ley Thunder opened up a 4-0 lead in the first three-and-a-half minutes of the game. Although they had played the night be-fore, Langley showed no signs of fatigue as they tallied goals with their first four shots.

However, Fridge doesn’t blame his goal-ie for the early deficit.

“It was a combina-tion of things. They were outrunning us... he didn’t see the shots be released, and those shots were perfectly placed,” said Fridge. “He didn’t even have a chance to get into the game.”

‘Baldi grad lands volleyball scholarship

Maple Ridge’s Robyn Tim-mer is heading north af-ter graduating this month from Garibaldi Secondary School.

Way north.Timmer has accepted a

scholarship to play vol-leyball for the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the northernmost university in North America.

While Fairbanks lies just

200 miles south of the arc-tic circle, Timmer will be spending plenty of time in and around the Lower Mainland.

The Nanooks volley-ball program plays in the same NCAA Division II conference as a number of nearby schools, such as Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, and Western Washington University in Bellingham.

“I’ll be able to see my family when I come down for road games, so that’s great,” says Timmer.

Timmer started playing volleyball in the fifth grade at Whonnock Elementary School, and played for club teams as well as the Garib-aldi Rebels during high

school. For the past two years,

Timmer has played for the Surrey Synergy volleyball club as a setter, a position she likens to being the quarterback for the team.

“You’re only allowed three contacts per side so the first contact is usually a pass to the setter who sets up the play for the of-fence,” she said.

The team travelled to a number of scouting tour-naments across the U.S., where she was able to get looks from U.S. colleges.

But a bit of self-promotion didn’t hurt, either.

Like many NCAA schol-arship recipients, Timmer marketed herself to pro-spective schools in count-

less emails, using online videos of herself in action.

“You have to put yourself out there, and not be afraid to be rejected,” she says.

“And of course, grades are extremely important.”

Timmer completed Garib-aldi’s International Bac-calaureate certificate pro-

gram while maintaining a straight A average. Her grades, along with strong SAT scores, helped her land the lucrative scholar-ship at UAF.

“I always knew I wanted to go somewhere with vol-leyball, but academics have always been the most im-portant for me,” she says.

Timmer was prepared to forgo a volleyball scholar-ship to study at UBC on the strength of its environmen-tal program.

She jumped at the chance to study at UAF, however, as it has one of the best environmental studies pro-grams in the world, she says.

“It’s turned out so per-fect,” says Timmer.

Fridge opted to tem-porarily pull Schibild after the fourth goal, putting Carson Mi-chaud in net instead. The change-up gave the team a break in the action to regroup and get into the game, said Fridge. Two and a half minutes later, Schibild was back in net, and went on to stop 31 of 37 shots the rest of the game.

“He made some div-ing saves late in the game that definitely kept us in it,” said Fridge.

With Schibild back between the pipes, the Burrards proceeded to score five unanswered goals in the first peri-od, erasing Langley’s lead in less than 10 minutes.

Curtis Dickson opened the scoring for the Burrards six minutes into the open-ing frame, and added another five minutes later.

Dayne Michaud scored to cut Langley’s lead to one, and with less than five minutes to play in the period,

Joel Dalgarno tied things with his ninth goal of the season.

Pete Tellis added an-other with three min-utes left in the period to send the Burrards into the intermission with an improbable 5-4 lead.

Langley pushed back in the second period with three unanswered goals of their to retake the lead.

However a quick pair of goals late in the pe-riod by Dalgarno and Tellis tied things up for the Burrards going into the third.

The two teams trad-ed goals for the first half of the period be-fore Derek Lowe’s goal with six minutes to play tied the game at 10 apiece. The score remained knotted un-til Dickson completed his hat trick with 39 seconds left on the clock to give the Bur-rards their third win of the season.

Dickson finished with six points, as did Dalgarno, who fin-ished with four goals. Tellis had two goals and two assists, while

Lowe had one goal and three assists. Rookie Riley Loewen also had a four-point night, posting a quartet of assists.

Garrett McIntosh, Aaron Pascas, and Schibild each had as-sists as well.

The Burrards pen-alty kill was perfect, stopping all four Lan-gley power play oppor-tunities.

“I was really happy with our back end,” said Fridge. “[After falling behind 4-0], they definitely stepped up and played more physically.”

The Burrards power play was also factor, as they connected on four of their six oppor-tunities.

The Burrards travel to Langley to play the Thunder for the third and final time this regular season on Sat-urday, before return-ing home on Sunday to host the league-leading Victoria Shamrocks in their first meeting of the season.

Game time is at 6:45 p.m. at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

STAVE FALLS / HAYWARD LAKE NOTICES

2835

ONE LANE ROAD CLOSURE—DEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD

June 13–July 22, 2011 Monday–Friday, 24 hours

Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project and Completion of Gantry Crane Installation

The Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project has begun. The project involves the replacement of the four existing radial spillway gates and the existing radial gate hoists. To operate the gates, BC Hydro installed a new crane in 2010. This crane is required to lift and lower the gates and is moved into position on a rail that is embedded in the roadway. BC Hydro will be replacing these rails starting mid-June, 2011. A one lane closure of Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is required to complete this work. Priority access will be given to emergency vehicles and the school bus.

Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (10–15 minutes) or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will be required four times during the two-year project.

Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro will re-open road and pedestrian access over the dam when construction schedules allow (e.g. primarily evenings and weekends).

HAYWARD LAKE RESERVOIR LOWER WATER LEVELS AND HAYWARD STREET ROAD CLOSURE

Reservoir Drawdown: May 24–June 24 Road Closure: May 30–June 24

Starting May 24, 2011 the Hayward Lake reservoir water level will be lowered to accommodate annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. Lowering of the reservoir will begin on Tuesday, May 24 to reach the elevation of approximately 34.5 metres in four days. Hayward Street over Ruskin Dam will also be closed Monday to Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. from May 30 to June 24.

Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopes along Hayward Beach and the entire reservoir shore. The beach can be used with caution, but the water will not be accessible. The Hayward boat launch and dog beach will be closed. The picnic grounds will remain open and available for public use. Trails will remain open; however hikers will be unable to complete the Railway/Reservoir Trail loop due to the closure of both Ruskin Dam and the Floating Bridge at Hairsine Creek.

An environmental management plan has been developed to protect fish and wildlife during the lower water levels.

The water will begin rising again on Friday, June 24, 2011. Normal operating levels will return well before Canada Day, July 1.

For more information on these projects, visit bchydro.com or email [email protected].

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Angel Standing ByWe gaze outside our windows,And wish upon a star,We open up our hearts,And let our thoughts drift afar.

A tear rolls down our cheek,As we reminisce the past,You hardly got to live,Your life went by too fast.

But now there’s no waywe can bring you back,No matter how hard we try,Because now you’re up in heaven,As our Angel standing by.

Always remembered; never forgotten,Our smiling son forever,With us all missing you,Dad (Tim), Mom (Vicki), Ryley, Cody, Holly, Nikki, family and friends.
