Bears about, be aware One hit by car, another raids freezer, third chases jogger by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

A bear searching for food after waking up from a winter slumber was hit by a car on Sunday in Maple Ridge. Although the bruin was not fatally injured in the collision, sightings are on the rise throughout the municipality as bears head down from the mountains to seek an easy meal. Virginia Friend is urging her neighbours to remove their bird feeders and secure their garbage after a bear broke into an outdoor freezer and feasted on frozen goodies last week. “Twice in the past two days, my neighbour has had occasion to chase a bear from our yards,” she said. On Monday, Mark Mellish was jogging in Whonnock when a passing motorist stopped to telling him a bear was running alongside him and gave him a lift. It wasn’t the ﬁrst time Mellish has encountered a bear while hiking or running in east Maple Ridge, but recently he’s been spotting bears more frequently. See Bears, p9

Seven more cats found dead 22 in total now, latest between 217th and 230th by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

Buttercup was found five blocks from her owner’s home on Selkirk Street.

Seven more cats have been found mutilated in Maple Ridge in the past two weeks, three months after the SPCA appealed for information about the disturbing killings. In the past year, a total of 22 dismembered cats have been found in the municipality.

thing,” said Chortyk. Eric Wernicke’s cat Buttercup disappeared Wednesday and was found after someone noticed a posting for a lost cat on Craigslist. Buttercup’s head was discovered on the front lawn of a house five blocks away from Wernicke’s home on Selkirk Street. “It was definitely her,” said Wernicke, who identified the year-old Calico from her distinct markings. Wernicke found Buttercup’s tail and tufts of fur later at a street corner. “We try to keep her in because,

Their deaths prompted the SPCA to issue a public warning in March, urging cat owners to keep their pets inside. Lorie Chortyk, with the B.C. SPCA, said all the cats have been killed in the same manner, either cut in half with a saw or sharp knife. The latest killings happened in an area between 217th and 230th Streets. “We are doing necropsies on the bodies, but unfortunately we still have no leads – we are still pleading to the public for information if anyone has seen or knows any-

from what I hear, this has been happening for a year,” said Wernicke. But like most adventurous felines, Buttercup often slipped out when the front door opened. Wernicke hopes the person responsible for the cat mutilations is caught soon. “I hope they get him,” he said. The ﬁrst cat mutilation was reported to RCMP and the Maple Ridge SPCA last July, but the owner was initially told her kitten was killed by a coyote. See Cats, p5

Target to open at HP mall in 2013 U.S. company will spend $10 million to convert Zellers; current workers will be granted a job interview by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter Zellers at Haney Place Mall will be converted to a Target store by winter 2013. Workers have been told that Zellers at Haney Place Mall will close Feb. 11, Hudson’s Bay Company spokesperson Tiffany Bourré said Tuesday. She didn’t want to say how many employees will be affected, but the average Zellers location employs about 100 people. Once the store is vacant, Minneapolis-based Target Corp., which is taking over the lease, along with another 125 Zellers locations across Canada, will begin its renovations. That will be about a six- to nine-month process that likely will see it open by fall or winter 2013. Zellers employees are not guaranteed a job with Target, but they have been granted an initial interview when Target starts its hiring. Each location usually has about 150 to 200 employees, said Lisa Gibson, also with Target “All Zellers employees who apply for a job at Target during the opening cycles in 2013 will be guaranteed an initial interview,” she said. “The store will employ approximately 150-200 team members and hiring for store team members will begin in 2013.” Target has already applied for its renovation permits with the District of Maple Ridge. Target will spend $10 million to $11 million to remodel the large brick structure at the corner of 224th Street and Lougheed Highway in downtown Maple Ridge. Plans are to renovate the inside and outside of the aging Zellers location, as well as ex-

The store is currently about 85,000 square feet, making it smaller than the usual Targets in the U.S., which are about 135,000 sq. feet. Adding a two-storey expansion of about 26,455 sq. feet would result in a total space of 111,000 sq. feet. Interior renovations are part of the project, while the outside will get new materials and colours, as well as the Target logo. However, most of the exterior walls are to retain the ex-

isting brick exterior. The parking lot in the west end of the mall will be largely unchanged, although some new landscaped islands and grocery cart corrals will be added. The project will qualify for Maple Ridge’s downtown incentive program that gives tax and fee reductions to spark development. Last year, Target purchased the leasehold interest in the Haney Place Mall site, which is currently operated by Zellers Inc. Target has 1,764 stores across the United

Back-to-work bill could end CP rail strike by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter Canadian Paciﬁc railway workers don’t like being off the job or on a picket line, but they don’t like being told they have to go back to work either. “Why don’t we just get rid of the Canada Labour Code and have the government determine everybody’s collective bargaining process?” asked union rep Gerry Ranson. “It’s getting out of hand,” the legislative representative for the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference said at the picket lines outside the Pitt Meadows intermodal yard Monday. Since the 1950s, railway workers have been sent back to work eight times, more than any other sector, he pointed out. The union walked off the job just after midnight last Wednesday, grinding rail trafﬁc to a halt across Canada and idling about 4,800

About 40 workers were on the picket lines in Pitt Meadows. Those lines could come down as early as Thursday if federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt has back-to-work legislation passed by Wednesday.

The union says the company wants to cut back on fatigue management by extending the work day from 10 to 12 hours, while also cutting pensions by 40 per cent. But the public should understand what fatigue management is and why it’s needed, said Ranson. Currently, the company has to pay ﬁnancial penalties for work days longer than 10 hours. Ranson, a locomotive engineer, drives 10,000-foot-long trains from Boston Bar into Vancouver. Those trains are hauling liquiﬁed petroleum gas, sulphur dioxide and chlorine gas that could blow “half of metropolitan Vancouver to kingdom come. “They want me to be running a train for 12 hours, getting a call at 22:00 at night, until 10 a.m. the next day. “I get no scheduled days off.” He said the company also wants to claw back the health spending account for retirees, which they accepted in return for giving

up an extended health care plan in 2004. Ranson said he works 60 hours a week and makes $105,000 a year and will get a pension of $73,000 a year when he retires next year after working 35 years. Raitt, though, said Monday that the dispute is costing Canada $540 million a week, and will put thousands of jobs at risk if it continues. Ranson said an arbitrator could make an independent settlement or could be told to make a “ﬁnal offer selection,” in which both sides put forward their best offer, with an arbitrator choosing just one. That happened in the Air Canada dispute and it favoured the union, Ranson added. Canadian Paciﬁc spokesman Ed Greenberg said CP has continued to offer pension, health spending accounts, and work rule proposals “that exceed those that the teamsters have in place with our primary competitor, CN.” He added that safety is a priority and that the rail industry is a highly-regulated industry. The company also has fatigue-management plans developed in consultation with the joint company-union health and safety policy committee, Greenberg added.

NDP picks candidate in June Maple Ridge trims taxes one per cent next year Maple Ridge councillor out of running for Liberals by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter June 24 is the date for two candidates to face off for the NDP in Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, next B.C. election. Despite favourable polls, the party wants to get an early start so it can get out its message to the public before next May’s election, said Elizabeth Rosenau, one of two candidates trying for the candidacy. “With fixed election dates and the Liberals being able to hand out election favours right to the last minute, we need to be doing the work right now to define the Liberals … and to define ourselves and not let the Liberals define who we are.” Rosenau is competing against Korleen Carreras, who works for the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union. Rosenau, who tried for the NDP federal nomination last election, said New Democrats don’t want to take anything for granted, despite rising support. And she says the B.C. Liberals’ task is becoming tougher, because of the B.C. Conservatives. Rosenau said Premier Christy Clark can’t criticize Prime Minister Stephen Harper because that could provide an opening for the B.C. Conservatives. Clark can’t oppose the proposed Enbridge oil pipeline across northern B.C. nor the federal tough-on-crime laws that will increase costs to the B.C. prison system, Rosenau said. “Christy Clark is quiet. She almost seems to be a lapdog of Prime Minister Harper and I think she’s being forced to do that by [Conservative leader]

John Cummins.” But New Democrats can make clear statements on those issues, she added. Rosenau said Liberals may be hesitating in selecting their own candidates because of the poll numbers and because some of their candidates may already be holding other elected office. She disagrees with that. “I think that people should be clear in their objectives and Rosenau goals, that’s all I’m saying. “By trying to run for a senior level of government, you might be indicating to voters you’re not really committed to the job you’re in.” Carreras said the NDP is running a positive campaign and that voters are ready Carreras for a change. “They’re tired of the tax transfers and the extra costs that are constantly being put on to families.” People were “extremely upset” about how the government introduced the Harmonized Sales Tax, in July 2010, Carreras Becker added. Following a referendum on the tax, the government announced a return to the provincial sales tax on April 1, 2013. “As a young family, it costs us a lot of money,” Carreras said. HST has to be paid on her children’s dance and music lessons and on her fitness lessons. “It’s definitely been a sub-

stantial increase in our budget.” So far, only Terry Becker is running for the Liberals, after Maple Ridge Coun. Mike Morden backed out. “At this point, I’m happy doing what I’m doing,” he said Monday. His decision isn’t based on low polling for the party. “The Liberals are not the popular choice right now,” said Morden. “I just know the timing for me right now isn’t good.” He added he wants to work on the comm e r c i a l - i n d u st r i a l land review on going at the District of Maple Ridge and work on that to help grow the local economy. “I’m just trying to do a good job here.” Becker recently met in Victoria with cabinet ministers and the premier after an invitation by director of outreach Lorne Mayencourt. She disagreed with Rosenau’s description of Clark’s relationship with the federal government saying it’s a matter of maintaining good relationships with Ottawa. “Christy Clark is nobody’s lapdog.” Becker said the Liberals have about a 50-50 chance winning the riding, now held by NDP MLA Michael Sather, who resigns next election. She doesn’t favour either a merger with Conservatives, “It’s not in our best interests,” nor changing the name of the B.C. Liberal party. “I don’t think there’s a need.”

You’ll still pay more, but not as much as previously set by Phil Mel nyc huk staff reporter Maple Ridge is stepping away from its usual financial plan and trying to make things easier for homeowners by calling for an increase in property taxes below the customary four per cent. Relief, though, will have to wait until next year, 2013, after council told staff to sharpen their pencils. They did and came back with only a 2.75-per-cent increase, down from the usual four per cent that’s slapped on just to run the district. One per cent of that jump goes only to RCMP costs. If it works out, those numbers will be put into the financial plan in December. “We’re looking for ways we can save taxpayers money,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said last week. Other increases could be pared back as well. The infrastructure fund increase, (which pays for maintenance of roads and sewers) could be cut in half, to a 0.5-per-cent increase. The fire levy increase, already down from previous years, is proposed to remain at only 0.2-percent. Overall, the net increase in the district’s property taxes, after utility charges are added in, will be 4.87 per cent – compared to 5.6 per cent this year. Under the old plan, with the usual four-per-cent increase in municipal taxes, the owner of an average home would have paid about $140 more in taxes in 2013. But if the new guidelines hold, that increase will drop to $122, an $18 saving. Council issued the guidelines, which staff then will write into its business plan and budget that council considers late in the year. “We’re trying to make some in-

roads into looking at ways we can reduce it further,” said Coun. Mike Morden. He’s waiting for the completion of the industrial and commercial study to show how Maple Ridge can attract more industry and broaden its tax base. “I think it was a good healthy discussion around the table from seven points of view,” Daykin added. Coun. Bob Masse said the decision was a matter of council being aware of how the process works, setting the targets early and, for him, trying to match tax increases more closely with Consumer Price Index increases of about two per cent. “We’re stuck with [Metro Vancouver] utilities. “We’re stuck with what happens with the RCMP. “It’s just kind of setting the objectives and tone at this point. That’s what we’re working for.

“I think this was a really good step and in the right direction, that’s happened in the last few weeks.” Coun. Bob Masse

“I think this was a really good step and in the right direction, that’s happened in the last few weeks.” Preparing the financial plan has to be a collaborative process between staff and council, he added. Masse said council wasn’t influenced by Pitt Meadows trimming of its 2012 tax increases. Pitt Meadows’ proposed 4.75-percent increase in general taxes was reduced to 3.93 per cent, which means the average homeowner, with a property valued at $381,400 will see a spike of around $91 on their tax bills next year, instead of $131.

Ridge rioter pleads guilty Sentencing in August, charge of mischief likely to be stayed by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A Maple Ridge man has pleaded guilty to rampaging through the streets of downtown Vancouver during last year’s Stanley Cup riot. Connor Blair Epp, 20, entered a plea to one count of participating in a riot on Monday in Vancouver provincial court. A charge of mischief he faces will likely be stayed. A total of 91 people have been crimi-

nally charged in connection with the June 15, 2011 rampage that erupted after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup ﬁnals to the Boston Bruins. Onlookers shot video and photos and posted them on social media sites, fueling what has become a massive crowdsourced police investigation. Besides Epp, four other men from Maple Ridge face similar charges. They include Michael David Anderson, 21, Jeff Post, 20, Andrew Glenn Cuthbert, 20 and Jordan Houde, 18. Epp had also been charged with one count of mischief, a charge that was dropped, likely in exchange for a guilty plea, as is a common practice. He will be sentenced on Aug. 10.

First cat mutilation reported in July Cats from front Monika Soos’ three-month old kitten, Mau, was found July 15 on her front lawn on Stephens Street, near 118 A Avenue, its head cleanly severed and placed neatly next to a bubble-gum pink collar. Police received three similar reports in the next few months. The deaths concerned Mounties because all the cats were similarly disﬁgured. Maple Ridge vet Dr. Adrian Walton looked at several carcasses in March and told the SPCA to order a full necropsy on the animals after he notices clean cuts on their bones. “Research has shown that often times people start of with animals before advancing to humans. That’s why the SPCA and RCMP are taking

this so seriously,” he said. Researchers, including the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, have linked animal cruelty to domestic violence, child abuse and serial killing. Convicted serial killers Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and David Berkowitz all delighted in torturing animals before moving on to human prey. According to the American Humane Association, in a study of 57 families being treated for incidents of child abuse, 88 per cent also abused animals. In two-thirds of the cases, it was the abusive parent who had killed or injured the animals to control a child. In one-third, the children had abused the animals, using them as scapegoats for their anger.

Zero confidence TransLink’s board doesn’t need more directors drinking from the same bath water. It needs whistle-blowers and critics, transit users and truckers to put some reality into the way Lower Mainland road and transit infrastructure are funded. Adding directors from the Mayor’s Council to the TransLink board is no more than tokenism and the provincial government needs to do two things: • one, acknowledge that it is calling the shots and stop pretending that TransLink, with its limited funding options, is anything more than a cringing lap dog — not to mention a convenient scapegoat (sort of like school boards); • two, open up TransLink board meetings to the public. What taxpayers need to see is more open debate on the how’s and why’s of TransLink decisionmaking — such as how it can justify the now rejected 12.5 per cent fare increase and why bureaucrats need hefty bonuses for doing their jobs. It may seem harsh to pick on TransLink, but the funding stalemate between the mayors’ council and the board is a sign of trouble. Martin Crilly, the TransLink commissioner, has already said the authority lags behind other cities in productivity; and the province and the mayors hope an audit can find a hidden source of cash. Could some of these problems be fixed with an improved funding model and a new system of open governance? No doubt. Instead, the province gives us an easy fix with little hope of succeeding. Further, there’s legitimate concern that once representatives from the mayors’ council begin attending meetings — earning $60,000 a year for their efforts — they’ll stop representing the taxpayers and start swilling the grey water, making excuses instead of holding the authority accountable. For that much money, TransLink could find numerous people with intimate knowledge of Metro Vancouver’s transportation troubles who could enliven those TransLink board meetings and provide some balance. We have zero confidence that will happen just as we have zero confidence co-opting a couple of Metro Vancouver mayors will help the Lower Mainland’s long-suffering commuters. – Black Press

Scenes from the farm trenches VICTORIA – With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the B.C. Views federal governTom Fletcher ment’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical. Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, without inviting self-appointed “activists.” Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack

Progress. “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profit.” The same could be said for the broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after the Second World War. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down. At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fines or even jail time for prematurely leaking reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety. Here’s what’s really happening. As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identified in Alberta in 2003. B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established. McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers.

When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry.

Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree.

Ad with panties down offensive EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Premier bitten by pest problem (B.C. Views, May 23). The editorial comment on cosmetic pesticides written by Tom Fletcher skates around the body of medical and scientiﬁc evidence linking these toxins to such illnesses as childhood leukemia and Parkinson’s disease. In his words, the “right thing to do” is to do nothing about cosmetic pesticides. I imagine if he were living in the ’60s, he would be arguing that the Vietnam War was the right thing to do, or in the ’70s, that concern over the nuclear arms race was merely “political.” The problem with cosmetic pesticides, like DDT or cigarettes, is that there is no smoking gun. It is going to take time to convince some people that pouring poison on their lawn could harm their children. In the case of Mr. Fletcher, I think it will take a lifetime. I pity his children.

Ad offended youth, think again (Letters, May 25). I disagree with Keith Dymond’s assessment that the Caddy Shack ad of a woman with her panties down wouldn’t offend today’s youth. That assessment also misses the point that the ad offends today’s families. There are still conscientious parents in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who strive to prevent our children – our greatest treasures – from viewing and being inﬂuenced by overly sexualized images in the media. It’s a shame when our trusted community paper runs such a bawdy, tasteless ad. I was even more disheartened when the said ad was placed beside the article “Students protest to protect ﬁsh habitat, so that even this article that would interest youth and families couldn’t be enjoyed without seeing the ad of the woman pulling up or down her panties. If wanting to prevent my children and youth from viewing the many overly sexualized images in media makes me a prude, then I’ll gladly be called a prude whose children are able to grow up with healthier ideas about their bodies and purer minds. Thank you, Leah Pillet, for bringing this matter to my attention, and thank you for caring about our children and youth.

Poor judgement

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Garibaldi mourning the loss of ‘Mr. H’ (The News, May 23). Everyone should have the good fortune of having a ‘Mr. H. in their lives, someone who isn’t so serious that they turn kids off from learning, someone who really listens and ‘gets’ them, someone who invests so much energy and caring into the kids of the next generation, and someone who, by their very nature, helps to keep kids in school. Hausknecht Gord Hausknecht was there for my kids and I will forever be grateful. With all the recent negative comments about teachers in their on-going labour dispute, I can’t help but think about all the teachers who give more than just the lesson of the day. I can’t help but think about Mr. H, and I can’t help but think that without teachers like him what the ultimate cost would be. I just want to publicly recognize the much-appreciated contribution Mr. Hausknecht made to my family and to thank The News for the tribute article on his passing. T. MARLOW MAPLE RIDGE

EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Premier bitten by pest problem (B.C. Views, May 23). I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use. With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very speciﬁc inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore, it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants. It has even gone through Phase 1 clinical trials (which test safety for humans) because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck. In other words, you could drink the stuff with no ill effect. When Oak Bay council proposed banning all “pesticides,” including Roundup, I wrote them, pointing out these facts. To no avail, they just went along with the herd, and copied the type of ban that Saanich has. Well, keep up the good work of speaking truth to ignorance. It might eventually help.

Re: Ad seriously crossed the line of decency (Letters, May 23). I have to agree with Leah Pillet. The ad for the Caddy Shack was totally inappropriate for promotion in a community paper. When viewing the ad, the

question here is – what is the business promoting? As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, The News – a community paper – is the representative and reflects its endorsement for the content of the newspaper. In my opinion, the paper did not use the best judgement in previewing the Caddy Shack ad before publishing it. C. FINAMORE MAPLE RIDGE

Very disappointing EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Ad seriously crossed the line of decency (Letters, May 23). What a strange age we live in. We have such contempt and scorn for countries or cultures that dictate they way a woman dresses or behaves. We pride ourselves on bridging the gender gap of equality in our education and our workplace. We tell our girls they can pursue any occupation they choose if they set their mind to it and work hard. In school, we learn about women like Nellie McClung, who fought hard to give women a voice and pressed for women to be considered a person under the law. Last Friday, when I was reading your newspaper (that’s right, even though I’m a female, I know how to read), I was intensely disappointed to see the Caddy Shack ad of a faceless woman pulling down her see-through panties – that you choose to run. Let me be clear – I’m disappointed that you chose to run it. What is the implicit message here: ‘My value and worth as a female is solely what is between my legs, not between my ears.’ Or perhaps it is, ‘I am faceless because I am every woman, I service men

for money.’ Either way, I struggle to find a positive message here. When we start to objectify women (or any person, for that matter), we lose sight of their humanity, their heart, their story, their soul. We need only look at human trafficking to see what objectification looks like at, perhaps, it’s ugliest. M. TAKASAKI MAPLE RIDGE

Every drop counts EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Ad offended youth, think again (Letters, May 25). Do two wrongs make a right? Leah Pillet’s complaint that the Caddy Shack’s ad showing a woman’s panties half-way down her legs was in no way “prudish” on her part. Keith Dymond responded: “Welcome to the 21st Century.” Really? Why does he not see the problem with children and youth being corrupted by media advertisements such as these? On the contrary, Mr. Dymond, her concern for today’s youth gives hope that there still remains some concern for the decency of future generations. I will give you the benefit that this ad, in itself, may not “corrupt the minds of today’s youth or perhaps offend them or teach them something they don’t already know.” As we well know, a drop of water does not make an ocean. However, Mr. Dymond, every drop counts. Every ad that subjugates women further corrupts the minds of young men and impresses upon teenage girls that they are not worth much more than a pair of panties around their own ankles. There is no question as

to whether or not the ad is indecent. Mr. Dymond did not disagree with that fact, either. Allowing an explicitly indecent ad such as this into a family oriented community newspaper was done without taste, thought, or concern for the community as a whole. Our youth make up the heads of the future community. The paper also may take into consideration the families, parents, teachers, members of our community who are doing their utmost to ensure decency in their children’s upbringing – those attempting to raise good, moral leaders for future generations.

“Every ad that subjugates women further corrupts the minds of young men and impresses upon teenage girls that they are not worth much more than a pair of panties around their own ankles.” I received the impression by Mr. Dymond’s statement, “Give them some credit as to their daily surroundings – they are exposed far more to sexuality by the average television show today,” that because youth are already exposed to so much, that to expose them further is of no consequence. This leads to the answer to my question: No, two wrongs do not make a right. Ads like these will always strip women of their dignity. BERNADETTE BONNER MAPLE RIDGE

Willing to pay for safety, but no longer AirCare EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Province to scrap AirCare for regular vehicles (mapleridgenews.com). Did I hear/read this right? Is AirCare really going to be phased out? Finally. But the province is going to wait until 2015. I suppose that is a political decision. It should have been phased out a couple of years ago. Now, I don’t want all these working folks to lose their jobs, so maybe in the

settling dust of a bad idea we could finally do something that makes sense in the 21st Century. Let’s re-task those workers and re-re-tool all those AirCare facilities, accept bids from Canadian companies to manage them, and go back to the old days, when annual checks had to do with the important stuff: brakes, tire treads, hi-low beam headlights, brake lights, seat-belt function and exhaust system integrity.

Truthfully, I would be happy to pay such a facility the same fee for this vital stuff if it is Canadian, rather than export money for the boondoggle that AirCare has always been. Air quality is important, of course, but the auto industry will take care of that, as it has always progressively done and will continue to do if for no other reason than its own interests, as consumers become more aware of the environment and discretion-

ary in the choices offered. We already pay for that in the price of new cars. Safety is a far more important consideration for ICBC and the rest of us. Let’s at least make sure cars can stop when they need to. That’s something I would pay $50 a year for. Wait for 2015? No, let’s kill that U.S. cash cow, and start the conversion right now.

Bear Aware program to reduce conflicts Bears from front “The bears are now way more numerous and are completely fearless,” he said. In 2011, there were over 900 reported bear sightings in Maple Ridge. Of those, 16 were declared to be ‘problem’ bears and had to be destroyed. B.C.’s Conservation Ofﬁcer Service hopes a new Bear Aware program in Maple Ridge will reduce the conﬂict between bears and humans in the district. Sgt. Steve Jacobi said calls to the conservation service are steadily increasing and are expect-

ed to peak in July, when the bears begin to fatten up for winter. To date, the Fraser Valley zone, which stretches from Lytton to Langley and includes the Tri-Cities, has logged 58 calls about bears. “A lot of the cities are getting better. We are getting Bear Aware coordinators everywhere and it’s just a changing attitude, people are accepting responsibility so we are having fewer problems,” Jacobi added. He suggests people who live in bear country stop composting and remove attractants such

as bird feeders. The District of Maple Ridge has just hired a bear aware co-ordinator and has been working with the Ridge Meadows Recycling Society since spring to educate residents. Alison Thompson, the co-ordinator, says the recycling society intends to step up its awareness campaign in the coming weeks. “It’s a lot of area to cover, but we are start-

ing to do more. We’ve been trying to make people aware of what to do to keep [the bears] away,” she added. The COS received approximately 37,500 calls regarding humanwildlife conflicts in 2011. Of those calls, approximately 23,800 involved human-bear conflicts. Over the past five years in B.C., an average of 600 black bears have been destroyed each year, while 93 were relocated.

Shiny like new who c

1975 graduate of Maple Ridge secondary made a special appearance at the school’s second annual dry grad show and shine on Sunday. Jim Carpenter woke up early that morning to drive from Peachland to be at his former high school by 11 a.m. in his 1954 Dodge Regent – a car he received from his grandmother as a graduation present after he overhauled its motor during shop class in Grade 11. His shop teacher at the time, Wayne Rowley, was skeptical of the project. The motor was in pieces, partly disassembled in the car with other pieces at home, a couple of blocks from the school. “I dragged it to the school in bits and pieces,” said Carpenter. Since high school, Carpenter has put 200,000 kilometers on the car. Its odometer has now surpassed 300,000 clicks. Carpenter is a member of the Golden Ears Chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada and the Okanagan chapter. “Not only do I have the car,” said Carpenter. “I am able to go to a car show at my high school with my high school car.” His was one of 110 vehicles at the event, up from 40 the ﬁrst year, and raised more than $6,000 for the Maple Ridge secondary dry grad festivity. Sunny weather and solid community support helped, said Maple Ridge Secondary acting viceprincipal Dylan Watt. • Show winners: people’s choice, Logan Rodeck for his 1972 Challenger; student’s choice, Doug Speers for his 1981 Pontiac Trans Am; mayor’s choice, Jason Leemans for his 1932 Ford V Window Coupe Hot Rod; and principal’s choice, Barry Whymark for his 1958 Chevy Impala.

Conservatives help with summer job scene Funding will help create 74 local jobs for youth this summer by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter Canada Summer Jobs, part of the Youth Employment Strategy, is creating 74 jobs in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, MP Randy Kamp announced Monday. Kamp made the announcement at the Ridge Canoe and Kayak Club, on Whonnock Lake. The club is getting close to $10,000 in Canada Summer Jobs funding to hire two instructors. The funding will enable the students to gain skills and experience, said a release from the MP’s ofﬁce.

The Youth Employment Strategy gets annual funding of more than $300 million, to help kids, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain career information, develop employment skills, ﬁnd jobs and stay employed. The Conservatives’ Economic Action Plan 2012 will provide another $50 million over two years to enhance YES, with a focus on connecting youth with jobs that are in high demand. “Today’s students are tomorrow’s work force, so by investing in them, we are helping contribute to Canada’s longterm growth, competitiveness and overall prosperity,” Kamp said. In all, about $320,000 will be spent in the riding. Some other agencies that will get the job funding include the Zajac Ranch for Children in Mission, which will hire 10

students. The Mission District Historical Society will get funding to hire four students while the Maple Ridge Youth Centre Society gets money for four.

“Today’s students are tomorrow’s work force, so by investing in them, we are helping contribute to Canada’s long-term growth, competitiveness and overall prosperity.” The Alouette River Management Society applied for and was approved for one position.

Maple Ridge staff hosts Australian team staff reporter Australian cities face the same struggles as North American cities, so a team from the State of Victoria recently heard how Maple Ridge and Metro Vancouver manage traffic, the economy and housing. The intent was to learn how bedroom communities such as Maple Ridge integrate such issues with the larger centres of Vancouver or the region, said a District of Maple Ridge news release. A team of five from a Parliament of Victoria committee met with district staff May 8. The committee is studying the livability of Melbourne’s outer suburbs. Melbourne is the state’s largest city. “It was a great honour to meet with our colleagues from the State of Victoria to discuss how Maple Ridge is moving ahead with the development of our community in the context of being a part of Metro Vancouver,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said in the release. “It was clear from the delegates’ questions that the communities surrounding the City of Melbourne are facing issues similar to those that we do around regional development,” he added. “The work we’ve done with Maple Ridge’s Official Community Plan and specific neighbourhood planning guidelines, such as the Town Centre Area Plan, were of particular interest to the delegation, who noted that the integration of local planning and development into the larger regional context was impressive.” He said the team had the advantage of seeing the effect of almost a decade of Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy. After presentations by staff, the committee toured Maple Ridge, in particular the downtown. Australian committee chair Jan Kronberg said the delegation felt at home in Maple Ridge and was grateful for the information that was supplied, both in advance, and as part of the official visit.

Traffic irks Pitt resident Ian Christensen watches the intersection outside his house with much trepidation. He’s been counting the cars that blow through the stop sign on 188th Street at Advent Road and praying no one hits a child leaving the nearby park. “They don’t care,” says Christensen of the drivers. “We are supposed to be worried about little children.” Christensen has complained to the city about the intersection, but remains frustrated by the response he’s received from them. “We don’t know what to do about it,” he says. The City of Pitt Meadows, however, is aware of his complaints and has been monitoring the intersection. The city has also notified RCMP who been doing spot enforcement in the neighbourhood. City engineer Katia Robichaud said traffic counts were just completed at the intersection, but added no traffic calming measures are planned. “We will keep it under our radar. Nothing planned in the near future, but we will keep monitoring it.”

Fire damages Maple Ridge homes staff reporter Two houses in Maple Ridge were badly damaged Sunday in a fire that started in a basement suite and spread quickly. The Maple Ridge Fire Department is still investigating the blaze at 12201 – 203rd Street. It began around 3 p.m. Assistant fire chief Howard Exner said the fire started in a basement suite. The person who lives in the suite was not home at the time. “The fire was able to grow to a high intensity over a long period of time,” he added. “When it broke out of the windows, that’s when it damaged the house next door and pushed up through the floor to the second floor of the house.” When firefighters arrived, they rushed to both homes to make sure no one was trapped inside. One home was significantly damaged in the fire and Exner expects the house will be inhabitable for a “considerable” amount of time. “Nobody was injured in this fire because the members were able to raise the alarm to get them out of the house,” said Exner.

Citing a sharp drop in air pollution from cars that have become ever cleaner, B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the provincial government will scrap AirCare emission tests for light vehicles by the end of 2014. The decision will end a long-standing irritant for many Lower Mainland motorists who saw the program as an unjustiďŹ ed cash grab that cost them $46 every two years. And Lake also promised fees will be reduced in the last year of the two-and-a-half year phase-out period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Times change, technology changes and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for progress,â&#x20AC;?

Darrell Mussatto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it affects the quality of our airshed, I have some concerns about it.â&#x20AC;? David Cumming, an AirCare inspector and one of 114 unionized employees whose jobs may be gone, called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;backward stepâ&#x20AC;? that may lead to more pollution in the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constrained airshed. He said the decision means there will be no check to keep older vehicles clean or to prevent some drivers from tampering with pollution controls. But Lake said increasingly computerized vehicles means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less likely drivers will dismantle emission control systems to try to save gas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know very many people who do that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I look under my hood I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what any more. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all computerized, the technology is so far advanced I think that will happen less and less.â&#x20AC;? AY D N SU

to continuing, but said they are diminishing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technology appears to be solving its own problem,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding a shift in focus to diesel-burning trucks, offroad vehicles and even ships may yield bigger air quality and health beneďŹ ts. Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board voted in 2010 to retain AirCare and the decision was narrowly endorsed by the Fraser Valley regional district board. Both regional boards supported a continuation, coupled with an expansion to test large diesel trucks. The AirCare program is run by TransLink at a cost of $17.5 million per year, but that money was fully funded from the fees charged. Not everyone is applauding the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many older vehicles out there that we need to make sure are in good operating condition,â&#x20AC;? said North Vancouver City Mayor

Lake said, adding the move will save families money. He pledged a review of the need for emissions testing in future, suggesting the program may be retooled to test heavy trucks or other vehicles, but made no guarantee. Less than half the regular cars and light trucks on the road currently go through AirCare under the current rules, because of an eight-year exemption period for new vehicles. Most older cars that are tested pass AirCare without difďŹ culty but those that fail must get a tune-up and re-test to get insurance. Thirteen per cent of those tested in 2007 failed. A multi-agency review in 2010 found the air quality beneďŹ ts and health impacts justiďŹ ed keeping AirCare until at least 2020. Lake agreed there would be some beneďŹ ts

tarting in June, the Maple Ridge Museum will have on display various dolls and doll accessories from its collection. Most notably the display will feature a selection of artifacts from resident Daphne Clowes, from ceramic dolls to toy wicker furniture to a large collection of paper dolls from the 1930s. Our paper doll collection is in very good condition, considering the dolls themselves are nearly 80 years old. The history of paper dolls is also one to note. Used as an inexpensive children’s toy for thousands of years, they have been around since paper was invented. They have been used in religious rituals and ceremonies in the Asian cultures for many centuries. The Japanese used paper for origami,

Two paper dolls and clothes were donated to the museum by Daphne Clowes. some of which is on display in the museum today. They also folded paper figures, and made paper and leather puppets. Typically no clothes were made with these dolls, just the figures themselves. Paper dolls, as we predominately know them today in western culture, were first seen in France during the mid-18th century.

They were drawn or painted like people with fashions for each doll. The biggest North American producer of paper dolls at the start of the 1920s was Milton Bradley, and they grew steadily in popularity during the following decades. Cut from paper or thin card stock, the figures have clothes, also made of paper, that are attached to

the dolls with folding tabs, so the dolls lie completely on one plane. While being a source of amusement for children, they also had limitation with construction. The folding tabs would easily tear, so many alternatives were made. Thicker construction paper, also vinyl-like dolls and clothes were attempted; magnets were also used, although inevitably, all alternatives also came with their own set of disadvantages. The best way to play with paper dolls, much like any delicate toy, was carefully. In putting together this exhibit we noticed a gap in our collection. We have very few vinyl or soft vinyl dolls, which came into production in the late 1950s, Barbie, being the most popular. But this extends to many dolls from the 1970s onwards. If you have, or know of anyone who would be willing to donate to the museum, please contact us. In addition to ceramic and paper dolls, the museum will also be showcasing a new collection piece – a toy pram from the mid-1930s, donated by Maple Ridge resident, Shirley Goetzen, who also donated two adorable vinyl dolls with the carriage. Drop by the museum this summer to see the exhibit. Summer hours for both the Haney House Museum and the Maple Ridge Museum begin July 4: Wednesday to Sunday from 1-4 p.m. • For more information, call 604-463-5311.

Extra pay for mayors on TransLink $60,000 to serve as board chair by Jef f Nage l Black Press Two new seats on TransLink’s board of directors that the province has earmarked for the chair and vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver mayors’ council will give them roughly $60,000 in extra pay. But North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, the council’s chair, says he’s not yet sure he can accept the position, adding the optics of the additional pay is one just one of his concerns. “That’s problematic,” he said. “An extra $60,000 is more than some mayors in the region make.” Walton said he’s particularly concerned about stretching himself too thin, noting the duties of a TransLink director are complex and would come on top of his other roles as vice-chair of the Metro Vancouver board and the chair of the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation, which he said devoured 400 hours of his time last year. “It’s a time commitment issue,” he said. Another is whether mayors’ council reps who also serve on TransLink’s board can keep the two sets of duties straight and not find themselves in conflict. If he decides taking the seat is justified, Walton said he would go only

if the mayors’ council votes to send him. In contrast, vice-chair Peter Fassbender, the mayor of Langley City, said he has no hesitation taking his seat and plans to do so as soon as possible, provided he remains in his role as vice-chair. “I’m not going there because I’m going to get extra pay,” he said. “I want this to work. I’m prepared to put in the effort.” Fassbender said he has already been attending most TransLink board meetings for months at the invitation of the board. “I’ve been putting in the effort without the extra pay because I believe it’s important for the region to do that,” he said. Fassbender said it’s a valuable chance for better communication between the TransLink board and the mayors, and he doesn’t think the council should wait on taking up the seats until next January, when the chair and vice-chair positions come up for election again. He rejected suggestions he or Walton would be hamstrung and put in an impossible situation by serving on TransLink, adding he would work to persuade the board to conduct most of its business publicly, not behind closed doors. The change to TransLink’s legislation giving two board seats to the mayors’ council was unveiled in May by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom.

Mayors have criticized it as a small step that doesn’t go nearly far enough to address their demands for more control over TransLink spending and priorities. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said he is “totally opposed” to mayors sitting on TransLink with just two token seats, calling it a provincial ploy to “divide and conquer” the mayors. TransLink’s appointed board of directors has complete control of the transportation authority’s spending. The mayors’ council can only

approve or reject new or increased funding sources to finance service expansion. Mayors are also paid $500 each time the mayors’ council meets and Walton gets a flat stipend of $5,000 as chair, in addition to payments to serve at Metro Vancouver. TransLink directors are paid retainers of around $38,000, depending on their duties, and they receive $1,200 per full day board meeting ($600 for half days). The board chair gets a flat $100,000.

LeafSource stops customers pain within days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had ﬁnally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.” By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inﬂammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority

(70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive anti-inflammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-inflammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function. To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly

incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so conﬁdent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”

Music mixed with politics Musicians support Bob D’Eith, who is seeking a NDP nomination in Maple Ridge by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

ob D’Eith is doing what he knows best in a bid to win the New Democratic Party’s nomination for Maple RidgeMission. As executive director of Music B.C., he brought the Junos to Vancouver in 2009 and helped create the PEAK Performance Project, a milliondollar program that helps upand-coming musicians. “You have to play on your strengths,” D’Eith says as he prepares to host a concert at the ACT in Maple Ridge on D’Eith June 12. “I am a big part of the arts and culture community. What made me get interested in politics in the ﬁrst place was just seeing the dissemination that’s been happening over the last 10 years and seeing the impact it’s had on the community and the organizations we work with.” To showcase an industry that pumps $4 billion into B.C.’s economy annually, D’Eith will host NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert and some of B.C.’s best emerging songwriters and per-

formers. “We have the lowest funding for arts per capita in Canada,” says D’Eith. “The impression is – arts are a luxury – but it’s an important part of the economy and an important part of our lives.” The Alliance for Arts and Culture put B.C.’s per capita arts spending last, at $6.54, against a national average of $26. “I see a lot of drawn and tired faces because everyone is working for nothing and trying to keep their festivals alive and their theatres open,” says D’Eith, adding that the results of funding cuts over the past decade are only starting to surface now. “People have finally eaten through their contingencies and their war chest funds. I think we’ll see way more organizations like the Playhouse go under in the next few years.” A lawyer with 20 years experience, D’Eith has spent most of his career straddled between the non-profit and small business communities. He has been at the helm of the provincial music industry association for the past decade. I could only fight from the outside and bang on the glass for so long, says D’Eith, explaining why he’s decided to seek the B.C. NDP nomination. See D’Eith, p29

Maple Ridge actor debuts on Arts Club stage Brandyn Eddy is part of High Society’s ensemble cast Maple Ridge actor Brandyn Eddy makes his debut on the Arts Club Theatre stage in the musical comedy High Society. Eddy has been performing in and around Vancouver since graduating from the musical theatre program at Capilano University ﬁve years ago. His credits include Glory Days (The Boys Upstairs Equity Co-op), Prodigals (Twenty Something), Jacques Brel is Alive and Well (Point B), tick, tick ... BOOM! (Ovation Award winner, FCP), Little Shop of Horrors, West

Side Story (RCMT), Jesus Christ Superstar (Theatre under the Stars), The Wiz, The Three Musketeers, Children of Eden (Exit 22), Nine and Woyzeck (Arbutas Studio), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Emerald Pig), and The Man of Destiny (Presentation House). Snappy dialogue and Cole Porter tunes – such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and True Love – abound in this sparky and funny musical. Wealthy socialite Tracy Lord (Jennifer Lines) is planning a lavish second wedding, but which man will she marry? Her straight-arrow ﬁancé (Steve Maddock) or the undercover reporter from the society pages (Daniel Arnold), or her dapper ex-husband

(Todd Talbot)? Needless to say, it’s complicated – and Tracy has only hours to sort it out. The stage musical High Society is based not only on the highly successful 1956 ﬁlm starring Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, and Bing Crosby, but also on the 1939 play that inspired it, The Philadelphia Story. The latter was made into an Academy Award– winning ﬁlm of the same name in 1940 and boasted the all-star cast of Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart. The work of composer and musician Cole Porter resonates throughout Western popular culture. See Arts Club, p29

Emerald Pig wins big at zone festival A Particular Class of Women snags awards Emerald Pig Theatrical Society’s production of A Particular Class Of Women raked in the awards at the Fraser Valley Zone Festival in Langley last week. Charlene Rowley won ‘Most Outstanding Costumes’, John Stuart won ‘Most Outstanding Director,’ and the show swept the event by taking winning ‘Most Outstanding Ensemble’ and ‘Most Outstanding Production.’ The play is set to perform at Theatre B.C.’s Mainstage provincial drama festival on June 30 in Kamloops, where it will compete against eight other winning productions from around the province for the coveted Theatre B.C. Best Production Award. “We are all just thrilled at winning this festival in Emerald Pig’s 10th anniversary year. The girls are packing their G-strings, and we are off to knock ’em dead in Kamloops,” says Stuart, who founded Emerald Pig a decade ago with his wife, Sharon Malone. A Particular Class Of Women is a timely and also timeless play. Although it was written in the ’80s, negative attitudes toward women in the stripping and sex trade professions still prevail today. The play gives the audience an insight into who these strippers are: they are women who have

A Particular Class of Women won outstanding ensemble and production at the Fraser Valley Zone festival last week. dreams, and loves and losses, and kids and family problems, and ﬁnancial problems just like everybody else. They are not all drug addicts or victims of incest or have sexually deviant backgrounds. “Before starting to work on this play, I had been maybe to three strip bars in my lifetime, and I had the same negative attitudes that everyone else had about strippers,” said Stuart. “This play and the research around it really has opened my eyes as to who these women really are. They are just like everybody else.” The play had a successful run in Maple Ridge, where a talk back

panel was featured on opening night that included the cast and directors, women from Cythera Transition House, a writer of a book on strippers, a PhD student doing work on stripping, and a sexual health counselor. A Particular Class Of Women also played to audiences in New Westminster and West Vancouver. Emerald Pig has to raise approximately $6,000 to cover expenses to take the show to Mainstage in Kamloops. So watch for several fundraisers before the event. • To learn more about the Emerald Pig Theatrical Society, visit emeraldpig.ca.

Arts club from p27 His oeuvre includes countless pop standards and his musicals are often revived or reinvented on Broadway. He is recognized as a key contributor to the “great American songbook” with a ﬂair for punchy, complex rhymes and rhythms. High Society incorporates the songs that Porter wrote expressly for the 1956 ﬁlm, but also introduces some of his other famous work, such as Let’s Misbehave and Ridin’ High. “Cole Porter was writing during the heyday of Broadway and movie musicals. His lyrics are witty and his music tuneful – a great combination,” said Arts Club’s artistic managing director Bill Millerd. “His songs also stand alone, perhaps made most famous by Frank Sinatra recordings with Nelson Riddle arrangements. Porter writes about subjects we can all relate to, which make his songs timeless.”

Showtime High Society plays at the Stanley Industrial Stage, 2750 Granville Street in Vancouver until June 24. Tickets at artsclub.com.

Get involved: can’t wait around for change D’Eith from p27 “The arts is just one issue and soon as I started getting involved I realized it’s the same with the teachers and so many sectors of the economy.” D’Eith’s challenger for the NDP nomination in Maple Ridge-Mission is Mike Bocking, a journalist and president of Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union Local 2000. By mixing music with politics, D’Eith hopes to entice a few more people to join the NDP. “It’s one thing getting people to vote and it’s another thing getting people to join a party and get more involved. That’s what I’m hoping to motivate people to do because if you want

change, you can’t wait around.” Herbert, the MLA for Vancouver West End and the NDP’s critic for Tourism, Culture, and the Arts, will be joined by musicians Ryan Guldemond (Mother Mother), Kevin Gau (The Left), Stef Lang and Maple Ridge singer-songwriter Hilary Grist. Grist got to know D’Eith last year through the Peak Performance Project (she placed fourth) and has no misgivings about playing a gig with a political bent. “We’re living in a democratic society and we need to know what’s going on in our communities and who is in the position of power. Voter apathy is one of the main reasons our political sys-

tem is so polarized,” says Grist. Known for her creativity and a do-ityourself attitude, Grist has seen government funding dwindle in the past decade. “When I receive a grant, it doesn’t stay in my pocket, it spreads out over the entire arts community and has a ripple effect beneﬁting everyone from other musicians and producers, to recording studios and ﬁlm industry,” says Grist. “It’s way more far-reaching than many people realize.” The arts and culture industry is an easy target in an unstable economic time, so Grist reminds taxpayers and politicians that creativity and expres-

Smart meters now in 70 per cent of Lower Mainland homes More than 1,000 pulled over accuracy fears but most test okay by Je f f Nage l Black Press Smart meters are now installed in more than twothirds of the households in the Lower Mainland. B.C. Hydro officials say more than 720,000 meters are now installed in the region with close to 300,000 homes still to go. The penetration rate is about 90 per cent already in Burnaby, Richmond, Delta, Langley and Chilliwack, according to Hydro statistics. The new wireless meters are installed in about 74 per cent of Vancouver homes, 71 per cent in Surrey and White Rock, 63 per cent in Abbotsford and Mission, 61 per cent on the North Shore and 28 per cent in the Coquitlam/Maple Ridge areas. Overall, more than 1.2 million smart meters are installed province-wide and officials say the rollout of their smart power grid is continuing without difficulty. “We have had some challenges,” said Gary Murphy, chief project officer for the smart metering program. The Crown corporation continues to field complaints about high bills, but Murphy said in many cases customers were not correctly comparing to the equivalent billing period and many were complaining about bills for usage that actually pre-dated installation of their smart meter. B.C. Hydro has pulled 1,057 smart meters from service for testing at the direction of the meter manufacturer, which cited concern about a possible flaw with some meters during manufacturing. Murphy said at least 700 have now been tested and just 0.5 per cent were found to be outside Measurement Canada’s accuracy standard of three per cent. Bills are being adjusted for affected homeowners, resulting in credits ranging from five to 10 per cent for consumption while the errant smart meter was operational. About two per cent of households continue to oppose installation of smart meters, according to Hydro communications manager Cindy Verschoor. Opponents of the program argue smart meters pose a possible health hazard from adding an extra layer of radio frequency radiation and numerous B.C. city councils have passed resolutions urging Hydro to allow customers to opt out. “It’s really not viable to offer an opt-out,” Verschoor said, but added Hydro has still not decided how it will respond to hold-outs. Nobody in B.C. has yet opted to relocate their meter – at their own expense – to a more distant spot on their property, she added. The B.C. Utilities Commission previously rejected smart meter opponents’ request for an injunction halting the program, although that decision is under appeal. Newly released tests conducted by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control found a bank of 10 Hydro smart meters forced to all send signals at once – something that doesn’t happen in practice – results in exposure of about four microwatts per square centimeter at a range of 30 cm, compared to seven microwatts for a microwave oven, 9.6 for a cellphone and 15.6 for a baby monitor. Time-averaged over a day, because the meters only actually operate one minute per day, the tests found exposure from a 10-meter bank in normal operation would be 0.0028 microwatts per square centimeter at 30 cm, dropping to 0.0012 at a range of three meters. The report said time-averaged RF exposure from smart meters at all of those ranges was “low” – less than 0.001 per cent of Health Canada’s safety limit of 600 microwatts per square centimeter of continuous exposure for general public areas. According to the opposition group Citizens For Safe Technology, 48 B.C. municipalities – including Vancouver, Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby and White Rock – have called for either a smart meter moratorium or an opt-out provision.

THE NEWS/sports Team B.C. sinks U.S. The only thing better than winning one title is winning two for Maple Ridge’s Keanna Mason. The local golfer helped guide Team B.C. to a repeat victory at the 2012 North Pacific Junior Girls’ Team Matches over Team USA at Semiahmoo Golf and Country Club, Sunday in Blaine, Wash. Representing Canada, Mason was part of the 12-member team that won the two-day event 22-14. Mason is a veteran on the squad, having been part of last year’s winning team. She said she and her teammates drew off last year’s success. “Both Valentina [Trillo] and I discussed a lot of strategy for pairings coming into the final round as veterans. We knew that we had a strong start on Day 1 and had to play well on Day 2 to get a win. I am very proud of the girls on our team,” said Mason. The Maple Ridge native was confident of her team’s chances heading into the tournament, predicting a win with 20 points. Each match had three points available. One point was awarded for the lead on the front nine, another for the back nine and one point overall for the match. Mason, paired with Madison Kapchinsky of Kelowna, sawed off both her matches on the weekend. The junior girls’ team, ages 13 to 17, opened the tournament with a commanding performance in the team best-ball, building a 12.5 to 5.5 lead going into Sunday. Team Canada won the final day’s round of alternate shot 9.5 to 8.5 to take the 26th edition of the tournament. B.C. will host the event in 2013, with a site yet to be determined.

Collinson remembered for ‘generosity of spirit’ by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor

d Collinson, one of Maple Ridge’s most beloved sports ﬁgures, died Thursday, May 24 at the age of 78. The track and ﬁeld coach with Golden Ears Athletics, Collinson was also actively involved in local curling, both as a mentor and player. His daughter Tina said she’s been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support her family has received. “He had such a big heart,” said his daughter. “He just loved sports so much and he wanted everyone to have the opportunity to experience what he did. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t afford it. He would meet them at a park and just give of himself. He cared about everyone he coached.” A “generosity of spirit” is what Tina said drew people to him. A gifted athlete while growing up in Ontario, Collinson was scouted by both the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Pirates in the early

1950s. He instead joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, serving for 14 years. He moved his family west in 1972, heading to Fort Nelson, where his coaching career began. He then moved to Smithers, where he was active in both hockey and curling. In 2000, he qualified for the men’s B.C. provincial finals. “He was quite proud that these young hot-shots asked this seasoned curler to be part of their team,” noted Tina. It was also during this time that he competed in the B.C. Senior Summer Games, where he was a multiple gold medal winner. Tina said her father’s dry sense of humour and unselfishness were his greatest strengths. “He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need,” said Tina. In his time in Maple Ridge over the past decade, he gravitated to track and field, touching the lives of so many athletes, said Tina. While he spent so much time teaching others, Tina said his first passion were his grandchildren.

“He loved them more than anything in the world. He taught them to swim, ride their bikes, golf, and curl. He told me in his last days that I have to throw the ball with them. His first priority was to his family, followed closely by sports. Forever and always, that was his constant.” Andrew Lenton, head coach with Golden Ears Athletics, said it was Collinson’s approach to sports, and life, that made him so successful. “Ed is remembered by so many kids and coaches because he made teaching and learning fun, while demanding focus and discipline,” said Lenton. “His expertise, humour, and generosity will sorely be missed and Ed has left a void that will be difficult to fill.”

Celebration of life A celebration of Ed Collinson’s life will be held June 3 from 1 to 3 p.m. at 12788 – 265th Street. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the cardiac program at Royal Columbian Hospital.

Burrards need to get ‘nasty’ in hopes of finding the win column by T i m Fi t z g e r a l d contributor Help is on the way. That’s the message from Maple Ridge Burrards head coach Daren Fridge as his team dropped its third straight game to open the WLA season, losing 9-6 to the Burnaby Lakers Sunday night at Planet Ice. Twice the Burrards fought off two-goal deﬁcits, taking a 6-5 lead with just more than

eight minutes left in the game. But the Lakers roared back with four straight goals to close out the victory. “It’s like taking on an AK-47 with a pistol,” noted Fridge, talking about his lack of offense. “You need to score at least 10 goals to win games in this league and right now we don’t have the scoring.” Fridge said the team is missing some key players, most notably Curtis Dickson, who

has been out all season nursing an injury sustained while playing in the NLL. He said the recent return of Jared Davis is a welcome addition and hopes the offense can gain some momentum. He’s also looking for an improved power play, currently ﬁring at about an eight per cent success rate. The Burrards fell behind 2-0 midway through the ﬁrst period before scoring two goals 1:21 apart to

tie the game midway through the frame. The Burrards dominated the shot clock in the second, outshooting the Lakers 17-9, but tallied 4-3 heading into the third. The Burrards carried that momentum to a 6-5 lead late in the period. However, Burnaby tied the game with 4:25 left and the collapse was complete as the Lakers scored three straight, in the ﬁnal three minutes of the game. “It was a frustrating

loss, being that close,” said Fridge. “Sure we might not be the most talented team, but we had a one-goal lead and then we took our foot off the gas. It’s a game we gave away.” The home loss comes on the heels of an 8-4 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks Friday night on Vancouver Island. The Burrards opened the scoring 3:35 into the game on a goal by Mitchell Bannister and had a chance to extend

their lead on the power play a couple of minutes later, but gave up a short-handed goal 7:29 into the opening period. It ended with the Shamrocks holding a 3-2 lead. Maple Ridge scored two quick goals to open the second, as Derek Lowe found the back of the net 23 seconds into the frame, followed by Simon Giourmetakis at the 5:25 mark. Unfortunately for the Burrards, it was the last time the red light would

come on. They gave up ﬁve straight goals and ﬁnd themselves 0-3 on the season. Fridge said they are going to have to have a playoff-like attitude when they take on the Salmonbellies Thursday, May 31 at 7:45 p.m. in New Westminster. Fridge said the game will be a test of his team’s mettle. “We have to match their intensity from the back-end out. Right now, we’re not nasty enough.”

Storm barrage opponents on route to national title Maple Ridge water polo players Nicholas Bruneau and Giordano Marconato of the Pacific Storm are celebrating back-to-back gold medals at the U-16 boys’ national club championships. Marconato also earned a spot on the U-16 allstar team with a 20-goal performance during the event. Bruneau held his own, playing a key role in his team’s journey to gold, scoring three goals, one on a five-metre penalty shot, and with strong defensive play. The Storm blew into the final after destroying its first two opponents by a combined score of 47-4. The team thoroughly outclassed Saanich 21-1 before thrashing Dollard III of Quebec 26-3. The Storm continued its strong play in the quarterfinal round with a 22-1 beating of St. Lambert, also from Quebec. The Storm then toppled Ottawa 12-6 to advance to the final. The Storm continued to roll through the French, defeating Camo in a hard-fought match 7-3 to win the tournament. Tied a 1-1 after the first quarter, the Storm slowly chipped away at Camo’s defence to take the title. The Storm’s Nikola Maric was named most valuable coach for the second year in a row.

contributed Months of sacrifice and hard work has paid off for Team Cutting Edge. The bodybuilding team took home three first-place honours in Kelowna at the Western Canadian Bodybuilding and Fitness Competition. A group of 14 Maple Ridge competitors made their way to the largest event in its history, with more than 230 competitors. Graham Chan and his brother Richy of Cutting Edge Nutrition sponsored the area’s largest team to compete in the event. “We’re really proud of how our team performed,” said Graham Chan. “Bodybuilding is not your typical team sport. The group atmosphere behind the team allows competitors to hold each other accountable to their strict diets and training regimes. The camaraderie has produced some of the best bodies in the province.” Riley Chambers took top honours in the junior division in his first competition. Sean Young combined a unique display of break-dancing and symmetry to take top spot for best poser. Andrew Johnson walked away with the middleweight crown, as well as top bodybuilder overall. Chambers came a close second. Trevor Koehler debuted in second place in the heavyweight division. Chan said while the sport has evolved over the years, the principles of aesthetics, symmetry, conditioning and proper posture are still relevant. “The condition or leanness during show training is paramount, along with posing techniques, diet and supplementation.”

C E LE B R ATE!

Tradition celebrates great community E

ach year I look forward to the ﬁrst Saturday in June. It’s a day where we gather and welcome visitors to celebrate all that is positive about living in this great community. The sense of community runs all along the parade route and settles in at Harris Road Park. The faces you see and the people you meet all share in that experience and show just how proud we are of Pitt Meadows. Our dedicated volunteers have worked hard to maintain the day’s wonderful traditions: the crowning of Miss Pitt Meadows; the annual softball challenge; the museum and Hoffmann Garage; the BBQ and ﬁre-

works. It’s that tradition and sense of who we are that makes us special. Despite growth and progress, we haven’t forgotten our roots. On behalf of my council colleagues, I hope that you have a safe and enjoyable weekend and keep the Pitt Meadows Day experience with you throughout the year.

Mayor Walters

– Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters

Lutner top citizen D

olores Lutner is the 2012 Pitt Meadows Citizen of the Year. The award is given by the Pitt Meadows Foundation and presented on Pitt Meadows Day, June 2 this year. Part of the criteria is someone who makes a contribution to improving the quality of life for a person, family, school or the community. Lutner, who turns 81 this year, is all about that. She has been a member of the Pitt Meadows Foundation for more than 10 years and is a vital cog in its fundraising efforts. She also been a member of the citizen of the year selection committee for a number of years. As well, she helps with Christmas in the Country, Remembrance Day, Canada Day and Pitt Meadows Day celebrations. She helps with seniors in the community and is active in the garden club. Whether distributing posters or making phone calls or serving coffee, she is there and helping out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of person, if you have a task, she always says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Michael Hayes, president of the Pitt Meadows Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where she gets the energy. Sometimes she takes on too much and people have to ask her to hold back.â&#x20AC;? He added that she is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;immediate friendâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;a very strong believer in Pitt Meadows and the community.â&#x20AC;? Lutner was nominated for the award by Ann Laity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dolores is a very humble, respected,

take charge woman who gets things done without the need of praise,â&#x20AC;? reads the nomination form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her amazing attitude and community spirit is very deserving of this Contributed award.â&#x20AC;? Dolores Lutner is the 2012 Pitt Pitt MeadMeadows Citizen of the Year. ows Mayor Deb Walters said Lutner always has a smile on her face and positive attitude that spreads to everyone around her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough good words in the dictionary to describe Dolores,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a hard-working citizen and is always giving of herself. She is a role model to others and I am privileged to call her a friend.â&#x20AC;? The recipient of the award takes part in Pitt Meadows Day and Canada Day celebrations, as well as Remembrance Day and has his or her name recorded on a plaque outside of city hall. The Pitt Meadows Community Foundation has been honouring the citizen of the year award since 1997. It took over the task from the Maple RidgePitt Meadows Chamber of Commerce.

Samuel Lachance and Jessica Howitt have been recognized for their ongoing volunteer efforts in the community.

Lynn Papp award adds another winner T

his year there are two Lynn Papp Award winners. The Pitt Meadows award has been divided into two age group categories to make it fair for younger students who enter the competition. In the past, Grade 7 students who were nominated couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compete with students in Grade 12 because the older students had more experiences under their belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding the younger award will provide recognition to these younger students and hopefully encourage them to continue be outstanding citizens of Pitt Meadows in the future,â&#x20AC;? said Jennie Cole, the Lynn Papp Award Committee chairperson. The winner in the 15-17 age group this year is Jessica Howitt. She has demonstrated outstanding volunteer service with special needs students in the community. She has volunteered with the Pirates, a special needs softball team. She has also volunteered with the Special Olympics and the Canucks Autism Network. Currently she volunteers at Pitt Meadow Elementary. The winner in the 12-14 age group is Samuel Lachance. The Lynn Papp award committee felt that Lachance has demonstrated excellent leadership skills to win the award.

He raised money for a well in India and took part in a water walk to raise awareness of living conditions in Third World countries. He has collected donations for both the Friends In Need food bank and the Christmas Hamper Society. He is also a mentor for Athletes in Kind, a charitable organization that helps athletes give back to their community through sports, and is a volunteer at Bailey House, the residential care centre next to Ridge Meadows Hospital. The Lynn Papp award is given to youth who participate in community events and projects and has volunteered their time to give back to the community. Nominees must be between the ages of 12 to 17 and a resident of Pitt Meadows. Cole canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about the teachers who make the Lynn Papp awards work so well, especially Gerri Willms and Penny Griffin at Pitt Meadows secondary. And Cole is thrilled to now have the elementary schools involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole point of this is to promote service with youth and celebrate it,â&#x20AC;? added Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because if you can get them when they are young and encourage them then they are more likely going to be doing this later on in life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by Colleen Flanagan

Miss Pitt ’12 crowned eigha Luschnat loves to draw and paint, and much of the inspiration for her art is the community she loves – Pitt Meadows. Her dad Roddy figures that makes her a fitting representative as Miss Pitt Meadows 2012. He was the one who suggested she apply to be such when Leigha brought the application home from school, Highland Park elementary. Roddy grew up in Pitt Meadows on his parents beef farm on the north side of Harris Road and understands the significance of Pitt Meadows Day and the role Miss Pitt Meadows and the Royal Party play in it. The Miss Pitt Meadows tradition began in 1937, when the event was a May Day celebration and a May queen was picked. The first Miss Pitt Meadows was crowned the following year from a group of Grade 6 students. Members of the Royal Party range from first graders to sixth graders, all chosen by pulling their names out of a

Leigha Luschnat is this year’s Miss Pitt Meadows. hat. As Miss Pitt Meadows, Leigha will have to give a speech on Pitt Meadows Day, and write it herself, about her interests and what she loves about Pitt Meadows. “She loves Pitt Meadows,” Roddy said. Leigha splits time living with her parents in Maple Ridge and Burnaby, but still attends school in Pitt Meadows, because of her friends and the Highland Park, in part because of the teachers there.

She played on the school’s Grade 6 basketball team this past season and enjoyed it. After school, she enjoys going hanging out with her friends, riding bikes, especially on the dikes. One of her friend’s families has a plane and Leigha has ﬂown with them to Pitt Lake, where they go swimming. Leigha also visits her grandparents farm, where she often visits the stables to pet the horses. In the summer, she picks blueberries. See Miss Pitt, pB10

Miss Pitt from pB7 But, as her father said, what she enjoys most is art – charcoal drawings and pastel paints. “She’s really into art. She loves to draw.” Mostly fence lines and landscapes, which are abundant around Pitt Meadows. Roddy has two framed Rose Smyth and hanging in his Maple Ridge home. The others, of which he insists there are many, he stores. When she found out she had been selected Miss Pitt Meadows, Roddy said “the world stopped for about 30 seconds.” She is very excited to getting a dress and is looking forward to the day, June 2. In the meantime, she’s getting ready. Leigha is friends with last year’s Miss Pitt Meadows, Rose Smyth, who’s talked to her about how to prepare for the day, and other responsibilities. As this year’s Miss Pitt Meadows, Leigha will also be an ambassador for the city, making speeches during the Canada Day ceremony, and laying a wreath on Remembrance Day.

grand canal – wide enough for two ships to pass – from the Pitt River to Burrard Inlet was an idea that reared its head more than once in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The project, to which names such as Oppenheimer and Moody were closely linked, was promoted heavily in the 1880s and a survey for such was carried out in 1891. In the end, the project was a no go, as was a 1912 attempt to revisit the idea. In a May, 1912 newspaper article this was blamed, in part, on the “parochial spirit abroad among the less enlightened and progressive …” in the elite of Vancouver and New Westminster “as several prominent citizens of the old school opposed the project.” You won’t find this story in the Pitt Meadows official history book, but you will find it in the Pitt Meadows Museum’s newest temporary exhibit, “Pitt Meadows: Believe it or Not”. The exhibit opens on Pitt Meadows Day, June 2, at the General Store site of the museum and is full of lesser known stories from the sometimes quirky history of the area. Visit the museum and take in the exhibit to learn about canals to the ocean, oil wells near sloughs, German field guns on municipal hall roofs, religious colonization projects that both took and didn’t take, how the residual “Maelstrom” from a tidal wave further east on the Fraser River affected one resident of the time. There is a place in the exhibit to for visitors to record there own believe it not stories so they too can become part of the historical trivia of the community.

Pitt Meadows Museum

A share of Pitt Meadows Oil Wells Limited. Other happenings on Pitt Meadows Day at the General Store include a paper-making station, bubbles, pioneer gadgets, hands-on stations, and temporary exhibits and additions to our permanent exhibits. At the Hoffmann site, there will be a blacksmith, as well as items from the antique engine club. Pitt Meadows Day is also a good time to come out and meet the museum’s 2012 summer staff, who will be bringing you our 17th season of “Heritage Thursdays for Children.” This year’s theme is “The Best of the Best,” with each week drawing on favorite sessions from Heritage Thursdays of the past. •For more information on Heritage Thursdays and Museum Sundays during the summer, contact Rebecca at the museum at 604-465-4322 or pittmeadowsmuseum@telus. net. – by Leslie Norman, curator, Pitt Meadows Museum.

Metal at Youth Fest Y

outh Fest not only features great entertainment for Pitt Meadows Day, but it gives local youth the opportunity to get involved in their community. Adam Rieu, youth services programmer with Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure services, works on all the behind-the-scenes activity, starting in February, organizing equipment and making sure the event is safe. But, a youth planning committee is in charge of recruiting and auditioning the bands, sometimes through Myspace or Youtube. “They kind of are at the pulse of what is going on,” said Rieu. “It is really great for our planning committee because they get experience planning large events. A lot of them are really interested in either the music scene or in special events, so they kind of get the best of both worlds,” said Rieu. In addition, a barbeque fundraiser will be run by the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows youth councils. This group of 12- to 18-year-olds meet once a week for an hour during the school year to talk about different opportunities to get involved in their communities. Then they fundraise to support different initiatives, such as sending a child to camp, or helping the food bank, or putting money back into the community. Hotdogs, chips and pop will be available at the fundraiser, with all proceeds going to the youth councils for future projects. Youth mentors will also have some skateboarding equipment set up on the north side of the recreation centre, outside the youth centre

doors. ICBC will have a crash car on site and an ice cream vendor will be serving treats. Youth Fest will be held from 1-7 p.m. on Saturday in Spirit Square, outside the Pitt Meadows Family Recreation Centre. Returning to Youth Fest will be Graham and Carly, a local brother and sister group that plays progressive rock. They recently took part in the Youth Week Talent Show. Maple Ridge Secondary School will be well represented with metal band Blessed With The Curse. Damn The Eyes, another Maple Ridge metal band with members from the east coast and Quebec, will also be playing.

“They kind of are at the pulse of what is going on.” Adam Rieu, youth services programmer Maple Ridge singer/songwriter Rory MacRury, who has several metal projects on the go, will be performing acoustically at this years Youth Fest. Abbotsford punk band Classic Merna will be playing. The Jen Huangs, a local band that plays everything from punk to swing. “It’s a broad spectrum of styles and music that we try to incorporate, so that it caters to everybody,” said Rieu.

Arrive early for barbeque

O NO PE W N !

our hundred and fifty pounds of salmon will be cooked up by the Pitt Meadows fire department for Pitt Meadows Day this year. The salmon will arrive at the fire hall the day before, then filleted and laid out on ice. Then while most of the fire department marches in the Pitt Meadows Day parade, honourary members of the department stay behind to prep the fish and apply the secret spices. The barbeque is set up for 3 p.m. behind the tourism office at Harris Road Park and is manned by 10 to 12 firefighters who will cook until the salmon is gone, usually by 6:30 p.m.. The salmon is provided by the Pitt Meadows Day committee. Chicken will also be available. – by Colleen Flanagan

Fireworks at the ‘peak’ B

ruce Edwards knows a thing or two about fireworks. After 10 years of organizing the fireworks for Pitt Meadows Day, he has become an expert on putting together a light show to dazzle the thousands who are expected to converge on the Pitt Meadows Athletic Fields to cap Pitt Meadows Day. Edwards, a firefighter with the Pitt Meadows volunteer department, orders and arranges the fireworks and has a team of six or seven licensed individuals to help him set them off. “We do three-, four-, five- and six-inch shells,” said Edwards. “We have some called cakes, which there can be 20 to 50 explosions in one of these things.” The cakes go by the names Outlaw, Scorpion, Tumbleweed and Poisonous Spider. “Poisonous Spider is the best one because it’s the loudest and it usually lasts the longest,” said Edwards. Edwards will also set off shells, as well, like the Red Comet and Titanium Thunder. “What happens is when that goes up, it is red, and then when it explodes at the top, it’s like a big bang and it’s like white,” said Edwards. They are all different colours, too – pink, green and blue. Each year Edwards purchases a different variety of fireworks to achieve different effects. This year Edward’s fireworks supplier has thrown in a new shell called Widow’s Peak. Edwards is not sure exactly what it does when it goes off, but can’t wait to try it out.

The fireworks will take place a 10 p.m. in the south west corner of the Pitt Meadows Athletic Fields. Edwards and his team start setting up for the show at 6 p.m., shutting down Airport Road. from 9 p.m. until 11 p.m. and notifying the Pitt Meadows airport so it can divert air traffic to land and take off from the west side instead of the east. More than 5,000 people come out to see the fireworks, said Edwards. So, he suggests getting to the park by 9:30 p.m.. At 9:40 flares are lit that last 20 minutes to signal to people that the show is about to begin. Once the flares go out, Edwards sets off a couple of test shots to see what direction the wind is blowing. But, once the flares go out, it gets dark, said Edwards, and that’s when we start. – by Colleen Flanagan
