FHA extra cautious with flu Visitors must wear masks now at care homes by Ne i l Cor be tt staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/tHe news

Rudy, largely confined to his couch, fell behind paying his Hydro bill, but blames a tenant for a usage surge. see video @ mapleridgenews.com.

Power turned off in cold Disabled man fails to pay hydro bills, spend four days in dark By Monisha Martins, staff reporter

eated in the corner of a Lshaped couch, wrapped in a pile of blankets, Rudolf holds a stick with a claw at the end and draws a semi-circle in the air. “This is my world,” he says with the hint of a Slavic accent, pointing to metre-wide area

around him. Rudy (last name withheld for security reasons) is unable to walk more than a few steps. It’s been six months since he’s left the confines of his cluttered couch. He suffers from Crohn’s disease, which has advanced to a stage where he needs an ostomy bag. His house in Maple Ridge is a mess. The living room that is his world is jammed with flats of soup cans, juice boxes, a computer keyboard, two heaters, a dusty entertainment unit, ceiling-high shelves stacked with video cassettes, books and scattered with

other unidentifiable detritus from his life. Curtains of cobwebs hang from the ceiling. With a skinny tabby cat asleep on his knee, Rudy shivered under the blankets on Monday, waiting for his power to be turned back on. The 60-year-old disabled man spent four and half days without electricity as temperatures dropped below zero across Metro Vancouver. “I can’t believe they would do that,” he says. Rudy acknowledges he’s had trouble paying his B.C. Hydro bill

for the past few months. Rudy lives on his own. Through the week, he eats out of cans. On Sunday, a friend drops by with more food. Once a month, another acquaintance checks Rudy’s mail box, cashes his disability cheque and pays his bills. His Hydro bill, however, shot up in spring. He suspects a tenant who has been living on his property for the past five years hooked a trailer to the house and used power to grow or dry marijuana. see Power, p5

A terrible flu season has prompted the Fraser Health Authority to require everyone going to its nursing or retirement homes or assisted living facilities to wear a mask and practise stringent hand hygiene during their time there. Only those who have received a flu shot this year will be exempt. The new requirement includes all staff, volunteers and visitors. Fraser Health is asking people to avoid going to residential care and assisted living facilities if they are not feeling well. Already this flu season, 19 Fraser Health residential care facilities have reported influenza outbreaks, with “significant consequences for residents.” see Flu, p4

Hunting is allowed on municipal dikes Resident is calling for signs to be installed by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Erin Balfour has been living in the area for three decades and enjoying the peaceful walks on the dikes of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge for the last three years, until a couple of Sundays ago. Balfour was walking on the dike just north of 216th Street when she saw a hunter blasting away at some ducks in the ditch below. The man was on the main walkway of the dike and shooting downward at the birds. Balfour was shook up enough that she walked with one of her dogs around the long way to get off the dikes and back to her vehicle. “I had no idea you could hunt here. It just seems so close to everybody.” The hunter wasn’t far from a nearby blueberry farm. “I can’t believe they haven’t complained.” Balfour called police, who got there quickly and checked the man’s hunting licence and let him go. They told her she should have known it’s a hunting area, but Balfour says there are no signs posted that can warn hikers, runners or cyclists that their temporary escapes in the outdoors can be shattered by shotgun blasts. Signs leading on to the dikes posted by the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows parks and leisure services provide a lengthy list of dos and

Erin Balfour is concerned about hunters firing guns close to busy dikes, such as the north end of 216th Street. don’ts for users, in small print, but does not mention hunting. “I cannot believe that anyone thinks that’s not stupid and dangerous. There are two farms, many homes and the equestrian centre, right there,” Balfour said in an email. She adds that most people walking

their dogs and pushing their strollers don’t even know. According to Pitt Meadows operations superintendent Randy Evans, duck and goose (mallards and Canada geese) hunting is allowed through much of Pitt Meadows, providing a hunter has Fraser Valley Special Area Hunting Licence. Only shotguns are

allowed. Evans said Pitt Meadows is the diking authority for some dikes in Maple Ridge, although some are under the authority of the Trethewey-Edge diking district, where Balfour likely saw the hunter. Evans added that each municipality can decide where within its

boundaries it will allow hunting. The activity is currently allowed throughout most of Pitt Meadows, with only the built-up area of the city and some strips along the Alouette River dikes where hunting is not allowed. Parts of eastern Maple Ridge are also open to hunting, according to the Ministry of Environment’s map. “A good percentage of Pitt Meadows is open for hunting,” Evans said. He usually only receives a couple complaints a year and said that hunters need permission from the landowner before they enter property for hunting purposes. According to Pitt Meadows’ Discharge of Firearms bylaw, hunting can take place on dikes, unless prohibited, as illustrated in the map that’s part of the bylaw. No hunting is allowed from the dike along the Alouette River or for a portion of the dike that runs along the Pitt River, just north of the Alouette River. Every year the city’s resource management committee reviews areas where hunting is allowed. Evans said that meeting will take place some time in spring and could result in changes to the areas or in asking the recreation department to post signs. More people are using the dikes each year. Pitt Meadows council has the final decision, he pointed out. While some people want to stop hunting, Evans said, some want it to continue, such as local farmers, who like to see ducks and geese populations controlled to minimize crop losses.

MR fire department can save only one house at a time Maxed out system fighting Sept. blaze by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge escaped a raging inferno last fall when five homes in Silver Valley, four of them under construction, went up in flames. The district’s fire department was able to contain the blaze, but next time might not be so lucky because the water and fire hydrant systems installed in each neighbourhood can only supply water to fight one fire at a time, said fire chief Peter Grootendorst. “That’s how all subdivisions are designed.” Designing a fire hydrant system to fight fires beyond that would require huge pipes to carry that water, he explained

Monday. Fire ripped through the homes at 227th Street and 136 A Avenue in Formosa Plateau, a new neighbourhood in Silver Valley in northeast Maple Ridge, on Sept. 25. “I don’t think we lacked of water when we were fighting the fire, but we were told we maxed out the water system.” That’s why Maple Ridge requires sprinklers in new homes and why the fire department wants to make homes more resistant to wildfires. The fire department recently presented its wildfire development permit area to council. The permit area sets out guidelines for future new home construction located near Maple Ridge forests. If council adopts the permit area, new homes near forests must have fire-resistant roofs (at least treated cedar) metal

soffits under roof overhangs (instead of vinyl), and no bark mulch or cedar trees next to houses, as well as buffer zones at the edges of lots. Homes facing the forest must have two exterior sprinklers on the side of the house facing the forest as well as be wrapped in fire-resistant material before exterior siding is applied. The latter is given as a cheaper option to installing cement-based siding on the walls that face the forest. Overall, the extra cost for each new home built near the forest should be about $5,000. The wildfire development permit area derives from Maple Ridge’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan created in 2007. That plan came from the Firestorm 2003 report written by former Manitoba premier Gary Filmon in the wake of the devastating wildfire that tore through Kelowna that

year. Grootendorst said most house fires in that blaze started when burning embers carried aloft by the wildfire showered embers on to the homes. The measures in the permit area are intended to give firefighters a fighting chance when a forest fire threatens. “All these things that we’re doing is to make it less susceptible to catching fire, when you have these ember showers.” Council, though, had some concerns about the permit area, mainly the areas in which it will be applied, so the fire department will try again to explain the bylaw in the next few weeks and get council’s approval to start the adoption process. Coun. Judy Dueck wanted to know why the permit area applies to some areas, Thornhill in particular, but not others and said some property own-

ers in Thornhill who want to develop in the future may not have been aware of the development guidelines and may have attended the meetings last fall on the topic. “We’ve had e-mails about it. I don’t know that it was well attended as it should have been.” When the wildfire development permit area was originally presented, it was focused on the north forest in the Silver Valley, Dueck added. Why is one side of 102nd Avenue in Thornhill a danger and the other isn’t, she asked. “I can’t figure that out. So show me, and I’ll consider it.” In the Lower Mainland, only the District of North Vancouver has completed such an wildfire development permit area. Kelowna and Langford, on Vancouver Island, have similar plans. While the Filmon report came out in 2003, it’s taken

Maple Ridge a decade to respond. Grootendorst said the fire department has implemented other recommendations of the report, such as improving training, buying an ATV to allow firefighters to rapidly attack small bush fires, as well as a mobile sprinkler that can be set up on homes threatened by fire. “We’re progressively working on various aspects [of the report] and this [development permit area] is one of the last ones we’ve been working on in the last couple of years, trying to get this done. The fire department will make another presentation to council in attempt to get council to start the adoption process. “We just think we haven’t done a good enough job explaining it to council,” Grootendorst said.

2x as many outbreaks as past 2 years Flu from front

This is more than twice as many outbreaks as were reported each of the past two years. Also this flu season, there have been more than three times the number of deaths associated with influenza among residents of residential care facilities than for the past three years combined. There has also been more than four times the number of flu-related hospitalizations from long-term care facilities than in a typical flu season. Flu-related

visits to Fraser Health emergency departments are at the highest level in years. The residential care facilities affected locally include Bailie House, Holyrood Manor and Maple Ridge Seniors Centre. There will be masks and hand sanitizers at the front entrance for visitors. The additional measures to safeguard public health may not stop with masks at residential facilities. Chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder has declared

the level of influenza virus circulating within Fraser Health communities a health hazard under the provisions of the Public Health Act. This allows for additional measures to be taken to safeguard the public health. This year’s flu makes patients sicker for a longer period of time, and the symptoms are worse, said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser Health’s medical director of infection prevention and control. “Flu comes in cycles of severity,” she said, explaining that there have

If so, it’s Kindergarten registration time!

Dear Parents, The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA), given to Grade 4 and 7 students, does not count towards your child’s marks. The results do not actively support your child’s learning. • FSA tests are expensive and waste money at a time when cuts are being made. • FSA tests do not help students learn or teachers teach. • FSA tests take valuable time away from more meaningful learning. • The data does not provide real help to students, parents, or schools. • The results are misused to rank schools and promote privatization. Teachers in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows recommend that parents write a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA. To learn more about your child’s progress and the real assessments done in the classroom, talk to her or his teacher.

been two consecutive years of “light” flu. “Perhaps we’ve become a bit complacent with how severe flu can be,” she said. The best ways to combat the influenza are diligent hand hygiene and getting a flu shot, and Brodkin noted, “it is still not too late to get your flu shot.” She said the flu season started earlier this year, and added, “I don’t think we’ve seen the peak yet.” • For further information visit www.fraserhealth.ca.

Two minor fires dealt with staff reporter

The Maple Ridge fire department kept busy on the weekend responding to motor vehicle crashes and cleaning up two minor fires. Friday, about 8 a.m., firefighters were called to house at 121st Avenue and 216th Street after a garbage can caught fire in the basement. There were no injuries, but lots of smoke damage in the basement. “It’s just another reason to be extra careful when you have wastepaper baskets. You don’t want to put anything that potentially could ignite in there,” said fire chief Peter Grootendorst. On Saturday, about 2 a.m., a shed in a backyard on 232nd Street and 127th Avenue went up in flames. That’s being considered suspicious because there have been previous thefts from the shed.

Hydro won’t disconnect if sub-zero temperature Power from front

Although Rudy told the tenant to stop siphoning electricity from him, there is still a tangle of wires hooked to his electrical board. Through a hole in the side of his basement, the wires snake behind Rudy’s home and disappear in a thicket of blackberry bushes towards a shed. Rudy claims he told B.C. Hydro about the tenant stealing power. He also claims he tried to keep up with bill payments that currently total $1,200. Things came to head Thursday, however, when B.C. Hydro shut off power to his property. Rudy languished alone in the cold until Sunday, praying that his friend would arrive. Without power, Rudy’s cordless telephone wouldn’t work. When his friend arrived on Sunday, Rudy asked him to buy a small gas-powered generator which allowed him to hook up a light, a small heater and his tele-

Rudy owes B.C. Hydro about $1,200. phone. He said he told B.C. Hydro’s customer service representatives that he wanted someone to investigate why his bills were so high, but was advised it wasn’t something the company could investigate. “Someone is stealing my power. I ask them to come and see,” says Rudy. “The people from Hydro knew I was disabled, I can’t move. I can’t have the house without power.”

However, B.C. Hydro gave Rudy many opportunities to catch up on his bill payments. He was on a payment plan until October and got six disconnection notices before power was eventually turned off. “Disconnection for us is a method of last resort,” said Jim Nicholson, B.C. Hydro’s director of customer care. “We work hard with all of our customers, regardless of their situation, to be able to try and work out a pay-

MLA expenses revealed by conflict report by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

When it comes to investments, Maple Ridge’s two MLAs are a conservative pair, even if neither of them belong to the party of that name. According to statements released by the Conflict of Interest Commissioner Paul Fraser, both have their money invested in prop-

r e i r C a r eek

erty, savings accounts and mutual funds. Marc Dalton, Liberal MLA for Maple RidgeMission, owns a residential property in Maple Ridge, has bank deposits and is invested in Mackenzie Investments mutual funds in a registered plan, as well as an ING Direct RRSP and a tax-free savings account with Canadian Tire. Dalton’s only source of income is from his MLA’s salary, while his

wife is not making any income. NDP MLA Michael Sather owns a home in Maple Ridge and a recreational home in Meadow Creek, near Kaslo, and has bank and other deposits. He is also invested in Investors Group mutual funds and has another

RRSP at Westminster Savings, a Standard Life bond fund and a Tax Free Savings Account with Canaccord Genuity Group. Sather’s sources of income include his MLA salary, while his spouse receives CPP, OAS and B.C. teachers pension income.

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Beware of hunters A woman walking her dog along the dike near 216th Street in Maple Ridge was startled by a hunter along the same pathway shooting his shotgun down at some ducks. She took a roundabout way back to her car, and called police, not sure of the hunting regulations along the dike, but suspicious enough that something seemed out of place. Police attended, but without incident or arrest. Duck and goose hunting is permitted along the dikes in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, as well as other areas, with proper licencing – but not on the dike pathway in some areas. Only shotguns are allowed. While these regulations are spelled out in municipal documents, the message is less clear, on some signs but not others by the dikes. Some don’t mention hunting. They should, given the popularity of the dikes among the stroller set, dog walkers, joggers and cyclists. Hunting complaints regarding the dikes average a few a year. Even so, a heads-up to those new to the area might eliminate them altogether, or at least give those who loathe anything involving guns warning to seek recreational opportunities elsewhere. The cost would be minimal. Just to be clear, hunting from the top of the dike is allowed, in some areas. According to Pitt Meadows’ Discharge of Firearms bylaw, hunting can take place on dikes, unless prohibited, as illustrated in a map that’s part of the bylaw. No hunting is allowed from the dike along the Alouette River or for a portion of the dike that runs along the Pitt River, just north of the Alouette River. Pitt Meadows’ resource management committee reviews areas where hunting is allowed annually. The committee can take this suggestion now, invest in some more signs, clearly outlining hunting areas, to avoid conflict and provide some peace. – The News

Inconvenient truth of oil pollution VICTORIA – A study of six northern Alberta lakes conducted by Environment Canada and other scientists was published last week, generating headlines around the world. “Oil sands toxins ‘accumulate in freshwater systems,’” the BBC B.C. Views announced. Tom Fletcher The headline in The New York Times declared: “Oil sands industry in Canada tied to higher carcinogen level.” The study was reported with similar alarm across Canada. It looked at levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in lakebed sediment, and found levels measurably higher than natural sources since oil sands extraction began 50 years ago. Most news reports I saw made little or no effort to put this information into context, in terms of the actual risk to humans, fish and other organisms. Some quoted people they knew would scream bloody murder, because as we in the media are taught, conflict and fear attract an audience. As expected, U.S. environmental groups and their Canadian branch offices ramped up the rhetoric to battle their favourite villain. At least one major Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a responsible job. Its report on the study stated “PAH pollution level remains low – on par, at worst,

with an urban lake – but is rising.” In fact, five of six lakes tested were far below average contamination of urban lakes. PAH fallout is a daily constant of urban life, from vehicles, industry, and particularly where coal is burned for electricity. To be clear, there are dozens of different forms of PAH. Some have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some have been linked to (but not proven to cause) infertility, immune disorders and fish mutations. So when you drive your kids to school, stand at the bus stop, or drink a glass of water from Coquitlam Lake or any urban reservoir, you are exposed to PAH pollution from human and natural sources. The risk from this is an ongoing focus of research, but this study confirms one thing: your exposure is likely greater in any urban area than it is downwind of the Alberta oil sands. I argued this point with B.C.’s celebrity environmentalist Tzeporah Berman, who has shuttled back and forth from ForestEthics to Greenpeace in recent years. She took to her Facebook page to publicize a dramatic call to action from 350.org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times. Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emissions. I argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of human-

caused greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry. Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gases come from “heavy industry.” I asked for her source. No response. A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation. Another 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations.

Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue. Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

The News/letters Decision negates Silver Valley plan Editor, The News: Re: Fewer dollars, students, so no school (The News, Jan. 11). I am dismayed that council has supported changing the designation from the Blaney Hamlet school site to residential development. While I appreciate there are other levels of government involved in this complicated decision, it does not negate the fact that this violates the Silver Valley area plan. Until all of the ongoing issues with this area plan are dealt with ( schools, access, drainage), the plan is nothing more than a fanciful work of fiction. Residents need to be aware that just because they see it on the municipal website, it doesn’t necessarily mean its true. Terri Dumas Maple Ridge

Shedding light on B.C. deficit Editor, The News: Re: B.C. deficit forecast grows by $328 million more. I just discovered an article by your right-wingnut Black Press reporter Tom Fletcher on Page 42 of your paper. Why hide this article on Page 42, why not Page 43? I would like to shed some light on why we have a deficit forecast of $328 million more. It is because the confused Christy Clark is spending $9 million on TV and radio ads, telling us how fiscally responsible the Liberals/Socreds/ Conservatives are. J. Johnson Maple Ridge

ies. We have a right to ‘safe’ medicine. I know other patients who grow their medicine for $300 a month or less, but with the new regulations they will have to pay more than $3,000 a month. When one lives on a CPP disability pension of less than $1,000 a month, this will be impossible. The federal government continues to abuse and revictimize our weakest and sickest. Legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana is not the answer for patients. Regardless of what hap-

pens in the recreational marijuana world, we need a separate model that allows us dignified, safe access at an affordable cost to our medicine, which includes allowing us to grow, or have grown, what works for us, or have our medicine covered by MSP, just as the chemical pharmaceuticals are. These are bad laws. Bad laws are meant to be broken, if it is in the interest of the public. I expect we will see these bad laws broken by many and the government turning sick people into criminals.

Now I am able to enjoy my family and grandchildren. Everything you said in your editorial is correct. One fact left out is that Health Canada radiates the cannabis they sell to patients. That policy will continue as they farm out to big companies. The government cannot tell us what harm ingesting radiated plant material will cause us as it has not done any stud-

of opportunities for cycling. There are designated cycling paths. Images of bicycles are painted all over various roads. Unfortunately, vehicle parking is allowed on these places. In order to protect bicyclists, this municipality allows cycling on the sidewalks. This

puts pedestrians at risk as some cyclists, thinking they now have priority, force people aside, including seniors, with their various ambulatory devices, into traffic or onto private property. Of course there is the risk of meeting people performing

recycling by dumpster-diving early in the morning or late at night. All this in a municipality that has a coat of arms and a motto: Greater heights and deeper roots. Of what and leading where? Jan de Zeeuw Maple Ridge

Jersey Day at local schools to help Kidsport Any team, any sport, and a $2 donation by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

This Friday, on the eve of the Vancouver Canucks’ first game of the season, a local school has organized a Jersey Day fundraiser in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to raise money for Kidsport. The idea is simple: Students wear any team jersey to school, put a $2 donation in a can at their classroom, and it will be collected and used to help kids who have financial

barriers to participating in sports. Tanya Dailey is the principal of Webster’s Corner elementary, where the school’s Culture Club organized the fundraiser. She is also on the board of Kidsport, and pointed out that the organization spent $38,000 from April to November paying for local kids to participate in organized sports. “This is kids helping kids,” she said of Jersey Day. “We just want all kids to be able to play.” Although the Canucks start their season on Saturday, she said there is no need for kids

and teachers to wear jerseys from Vancouver’s NHL franchise – they can wear jerseys from hockey, football, soccer, baseball or even school teams. She hopes to raise between $5,000 and $10,000 for Kidsport. “Let’s just recognize that playing sports and being active is good.”

Shari Pratt’s collection of paintings on display at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery was inspired by strangers. Based on photographs from the ’40s and ’50s found in antique stores, the exhibition Lost and Found features portraits of unknown individuals who express aspects of Pratt’s own personal history. “Inspired by the notion that companionship and a sense of belonging are vital to human happiness, my work addresses themes of aloneness where I try to find meaning and truth below the surface,” she says.

“We all want to feel that we belong somehow.”

ust like Dorothy, there are times when Ashlyn O’Shea would like to click her heels together and transport herself back home. It usually happens at the tail-end of vacations, when she’s missing her family, her shower and cozy bed. “I’m really close to my family,” says the 19-yearold. “Whenever I go on vacation, I get really home sick.” As one of two Dorothys cast in Bergthorson Academy’s production of Wizard of Oz, O’Shea has been tapping into those feelings of home-ness since she began rehearsals in September. She has loved L. Frank Baum’s story about the girl from Kansas and her dog Toto lost in the land of Oz since she was a child. She knew most of the song from the movie starring Judy Garland before she auditioned. “I’ve always loved Judy Garland,” says O’Shea, admitting she’s got pretty big, red shoes to fill. “I try my best, but it is really hard to live up to Judy Garland.” O’Shea loves everything about the Wizard of Oz – the characters, the setting and its unusual story. “It’s not a love story, but a story about friendship,” she says. “Dorothy always sees the best in people and tries to help her friends.”

shari Pratt, artist

Artist Shari Pratt hangs her paintings at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery where an exhibition of her work opened on Saturday.

“We all want to feel that we belong somehow.” Most notably, Pratt captures feelings of loneliness and isolation that relate to her itinerant childhood; the fact that her family moved frequently while she was young made it difficult for Pratt to forge the deep friendships and connections that are recognized as fundamental human needs.

She begins by building up the surface of the canvas with a contemporary portrait and found objects and then peels back the layers through physical deconstruction by sanding, carving and detaching. It is through this sequence of layering media on the canvas followed by selective deconstruction that Pratt evokes the passage of time and distance between the viewer and subject, thus reinforcing the notion that her portraits are based in recollec-

tion of memories that are alternately sharp and indistinct. The series Lost and Found allows the viewer, no matter how isolated they may be, to peel back their layers and feel that they can connect with any of the figures in the paintings and their stories. Pratt is well known as an art educator in the community and has built of a strong following of students while maintaining an active studio practice. The past year has been a

Funding for B.C. Creative Spaces and B.C.

Eligible applicants include B.C. non-profit arts and cultural organizations, First Nations band councils or friendship centres. The application deadline is Feb. 15, 2013. • For more information, visit www.cscd. gov.bc.ca/arts_culture/ index.htm or email BCCreativeSpaces@gov. bc.ca.

This Wicked Witch doesn’t like little dogs Oz from p20

O’Shea and the cast also share the stage with a real dog - Princess who hasn’t acted out on stage. “She doesn’t bark or anything,” says O’Shea, with relief. “This has been the funniest role I’ve played. Dorothy is feisty but she’s also really sweet. I think she’s a strong person.” The production also features the Ridge Meadows Orchestra, which now boasts a full string section.

“I think she’s a really strong person” Ashlyn O’shea, Dorothy in Wizard of Oz

Tasked with scaring Dorothy and retrieving her squashed sister’s rudy slippers is the Wicked Witch of the West. For Cosette Meynders who plays her, the role has been somewhat cathartic. A musical theatre novice, Meynders first production with the Bergthorson Academy was Iolanthe, where she played a senator as part of the chorus. She picked up

the courage to audition for a lead role after a little encouragement from Rayne Beveridge, who is also directing this production. Beveridge and local musician Peter Tam both conduct the orchestra. “She’s someone everybody loves to hate,” says Meynders. “She is fun to play.” Meynders is trying to mimic the witch in the MGM classic - a cranky, cackling hag who hounds Dorothy until the very end. “I’m trying to follow the movie a little bit and be the lady who I was scared of as a kid,” she says. “It is therapeutic because I can be silly and crazy and still have positive feedback.” Meynders though wants to point out that she only has one thing in common with the Wicked Witch she too dislikes little dogs. • To learn more about Bergthorson Academy’s musical theatre program, visit www.bergthorson.com.

The News/sports Hunt top-scoring Wolves defenceman Section coordinator: Neil Corbett 604-467-1122 ext. 216

newsroom@mapleridgenews.com

chicago Wolves assistant coach Mike Foligno says the Maple ridge hockey player been impressive by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

he point man passes to a teammate along the boards, with a couple of quick cuts he is tracking backward along the blueline, then takes a return pass and smoothly one-times a slapshot into the top of the net. Brad Hunt makes the game look so easy. The blueliner from Maple Ridge is leading all the defencemen on the Chicago Wolves in points this AHL season. Scoring at a pace of a point every two games is good for a defenceman at the pro level, and Hunt has 16 points in 29 games. The Vancouver Canucks farm team played two games against the Abbotsford Heat on the weekend, and after Friday’s morning skate at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, a sweat-soaked Hunt talked about his first full season of professional hockey. This is Hunt’s rookie season, but last year he got in nine regular season games, and another five playoff contests. “That really helped in the transition into this year,” he said. He had come out of Bemidji State University, a Minnesota hockey Mecca that competes in the NCAA. It was the time of his life. He was an All-American, in both hockey and as a business student, and graduated as the school’s all-time leader in career points by a defenceman with 112. He didn’t miss a game in his college career, playing in 150. Hunt was never drafted by the Canucks – it was the Wolves who signed him as a free agent. Listed at five-foot-nine and 188 pounds, Hunt must provide offence to cut it as a pro, and he has done that. “I’m playing my role and learning from the guys,” he said. Like all of his buddies who played street hockey on Bruce Avenue, Hunt dreamed about playing in the NHL someday, and the closer he gets, the harder he works. Veteran AHLer Nolan Baumgartner played 887 games in the American Hockey League

John Morrow/Black PreSS

Chicago Wolves blueliner Brad Hunt (2) eludes forecheckers and makes great passes out of his zone. and 143 in the NHL over his 16 seasons of pro hockey. He has been a mentor to Hunt both as a teammate last year and now as an assistant coach. He has helped him show poise with the puck. “It’s about realizing that you have more time than you think you have,” said Hunt. His role is to make a good first pass out of his defensive zone, and then jump up into the play to contribute on offence. “But I’ve got to work and work on defence,” he allows. Hunt has been fortunate to have great coaches, going back to his minor hockey

days. He lists “back-home” instructors and coaches Ralph Vos, Spencer Levin – with his midget team – then Bobby Vermette, of the Jr. B Flames, as key influences. When he got the Burnaby Bulldogs of the BCHL, former Vancouver Canucks standout defenceman Rick Lanz boosted Hunt’s game to a new level. “He taught me a lot of defensive zone stuff – moving the puck and reading the play,” he said. “It was good to learn from someone who had played at such a high level.” Hunt’s tools are obvious – the crisp tape-totape passes, slick skating and the rifle shot. “Hunt has impressed quite a bit,” said

Wolves assistant coach Mike Foligno, who played more than 1,000 games in the NHL. He said the blueliner has a great attitude, tremendous confidence, and can always lose a forechecker with shifty escape moves. However, he still has to work on his speed, and keeping a tight gap between himself and opposing puck carriers. “From the start of the season to now, he’s gotten better and better every day,” said Foligno. Defencemen who are under six feet always face questions about their size. Foligno said Hunt can struggle to contain some of the AHL’s big forwards when they play the “down low” game – using their body to protect the puck and bringing it to the front of the net. “That’s the impetus for him to train even harder, to get stronger,” said Foligno. The coach expects Hunt will be even more effective as he learns more about the league – who the dangerous opponents are, and what they do; what other teams will “give” an opposing offence, and what they take away. Friday night his Wolves beat the Heat 3-1, and Hunt chalked up two more assists – one off a pass, and the other a hard shot that was tipped. Both goals were scored by Brett Sterling, who had a hat trick on the night. The next night the Wolves won 1-0. With the NHL returning from a work stoppage, last week some of the top Wolves defencemen – Kevin Connauton and Chris Tanev – were called up. That creates opportunities for guys like Hunt to get more minutes, and to shine. “That magnifies his role a little bit,” agreed Foligno. “It’s about taking that opportunity and running with it,” said Hunt.

Snapshot With the Milwaukee Admirals coming to Abbotsford this weekend, it could have been a chance for Maple Ridge hockey fans to see another local defenceman in Vic Bartley, but on Sunday he Tweeted: “Off to Nashville.” Bartley is in his second season with the Admirals, and has 19 points in 37 games, but has yet to play a game with their parent club, the Predators. Bartley and Hunt were teammates in Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey, and remain good friends.

Rambler girls win MEI hoops tournament The sixth-ranked Maple Ridge Ramblers senior girls won the MEI Invitational Basketball Tournament over the weekend. In the semi-final, Ridge defeated the host Eagles 57-54 after trailing by 12 points at the half. The energetic Eagles dominated the first half with a trapping zone defence and good inside offence. With some offensive adjustments at halftime and switching to zone defence, Ridge cut the deficit to 43-42 after the third quarter. Kolbie Orum scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback. She had 18 points, 16 rebounds and eight blocks overall. The final was a matchup with the tall and athletic Vernon Panthers. Ridge led the entire game, but could never pull away from a speedy Panthers team that kept pace with lay-ups off the fast break. The Ramblers won 63-57. Senior point guard Kirby Marchand was playGary Mckenna/Black PreSS er of the game with 17 points. Grade 10 forward Sebastien Marshall (14) challenges a Kitsilano Gabby Cousins was a selected to the all-star shooter during the Legal Beagle tournament. team and Orum was tourney MVP.

Ramblers boys host tourney The Maple Ridge Ramblers senior boys basketball squad hosted a small weekend tournament, playing their first game against the North Shore’s Handsworth – an honourable mention in the provincial rankings. The Royals started quick, winning the first quarter 25-8. The Ramblers played Handsworth even for the second and third quarters, but lost 91-58. The leading Ridge scorer was Pavel Niemirski, with 31, and grade 10 Ethan Coumont had 10 recoveries and nine rebounds. On Friday, Ridge played St. Thomas More – a Burnaby school ranked fifth in double A. The Ramblers had a solid defensive game, giving up just 58 points, but could only manage to score 43 against a tough Knights defence. Amit Rakhra led Ridge in scoring with 16 points. Saturday, the Ramblers played the Fleetwood Park Dragons, falling 56-49. That was a significant improvement from the Rams first meeting, with Fleetwood in mid-December, when they

were defeated by 22. This game also marked the first time that two of the team’s most experienced players, Tyler Pipke and Josh Fitz-Morris, have been able to play this year. Counmont led the Ramblers with nine rebounds and 16 points. Rakhra scored 11.

Tough competition at Legal Beagle The Pitt Meadows Marauders went 1-2 at the Legal Beagle Tournament at Terry Fox secondary in Coquitlam. Their first game was an 88-65 loss to the White Rock Christian Academy, followed by a close 69-59 loss to Kitsilano. Kits is the top-ranked team in B.C., while White Rock is fourth. On Saturday, Pitt beat Vancouver College 8051. The Fighting Irish are ranked 10th. The Marauders host their annual Air Show senior boys tournament, tipping off Thursday at 7 p.m. against Mt. Boucherie of Kelowna. A win there would set up a noon Friday game against the winner of Cowichan and North Delta.

Offence clicking, defence suspect Through a pair of weekend games the Ridge Meadows Flames scored a bunch of goals, coming away with a split. “Offensively, we scored 11 goals this weekend. You should have two wins when you do that,” said Jamie Fiset, head coach and general manager of the Junior B team. “At this point in the season, we need to have better consistency on our back end.” On Saturday, the Flames beat the last-place Port Moody Panthers, who have only 11 points in 33 games, 7-4. Nolan Wallinger had two goals and an assist, Paul Piluso and Matt Bissett each had a goal and an assist, Travis Oddy and Adam Bartsch had two helpers apiece

and the other scorers were Marco Ballarin, Alexander Smith and Michael Nolan. Fiset was impressed with Wallinger’s effort, as he has transitioned from a tough guy with 126 minutes in penalties last year to a player who is making his contributions on the scoreboard. “His line was buzzing all night.” Friday at Planet Ice, Ridge hosted the North Delta Devils and lost 8-4. Bissett scored twice and Nolan and Ballarin each had a goal. This Friday, rather than hosting their usual home game, the Flames are in Abbotsford to take on the Pilots at MSA Arena at 7:30 p.m. • Rustlers: The Ridge Meadows peewee A1 team will host Rich-

Foster homes are ideal Pet s by Magdalena Romanow

oster homes are the backbone of any animal rescue organization. While most animal shelters have facilities that house abandoned and rescued animals, foster homes still play a crucial role in the overall structure of the shelter. Foster homes are typically run by volunteers who open up their own homes to animals in need and provide a temporary home for these animals. Foster homes are an important part of any rescue organization because they provide temporary homes for animals in need. Foster homes are also key in the care of young animals. Katie’s Place foster homes take in kittens that need to be hand fed or socialized. They take over the role of the mother if the infant is orphaned. Some foster families get up every two hours to hand feed tiny kittens who have lost their mother. It would be impossible to provide this sort of care in a shelter environment. Kittens are susceptible to viruses and would most likely not survive in a shelter, plus it would be nearly impossible to have a volunteer attend the shelter every two hours to feed the kittens. Foster homes are also ideal places for feral or semi-feral youngsters that need socialization. We have several foster homes on stand-by to take in any kittens that were born to a feral mom and will need time and patience to accept humans. Without these foster homes, many kittens would simply not come around and, thus, would be unadoptable and would, most likely, spend their entire lives in the shelter.

Contributed

Katie’s Place is always looking for foster families for kittens. Senior animals also benefit from foster homes. Senior animals tend to have a much harder time adjusting to the shelter environment. Many seniors who find themselves in a shelter stop eating or succumb to a virus. They are at a point in their life where they need peace and quiet and the shelter offers neither of those. A foster home can provide the seniors with a stable home environment until a permanent home is found. Losing a home is difficult for any animal, and if they are able to go from their home into another one, completely bypassing the shelter, the disruption to their life is minimized. Most senior cats only need a soft chair to sit on, and a sunny window sill to stretch out on, and a foster home can provide both of those. Foster homes are also crucial for animals who are injured and recuperating or animals with medical needs. Shelters are busy places, usually housing hundreds of animals. It is difficult to try and care for an animal that has medical needs which require constant observation, or medication that has to be given several times a day. A foster family is better equipped to watch such an animal in the comfort of their own home. A quiet home, away from the craziness of the shelter, is the best place for a sick or injured animal to recuperate. Like humans,

sick animals heal better in a peaceful and quiet environment where stress is kept to a minimum. There is also the option of being a permanent foster. This is a foster home that takes on the animal on a permanent basis without actually adopting them. This is the ideal situation for old animals or animals with ongoing medical issues. The foster family provides a safe and loving environment for the needy animal and the shelter covers the vet costs. The animal would cost the shelter anyway, but in this arrangement the animal is in a home not at the shelter. It’s a win-win situation. There are many animals in foster homes at this minute, thriving, socializing, and getting better. Foster homes don’t need to be big or fancy. They just need to have a loving human who will care for the animal on a temporary basis, and a strong human who will let that animal go into a forever home when the animal is ready. It is not an easy job and sometimes foster homes turn into the forever homes. Sometimes, despite the best efforts of the foster parents, the animal dies. Sometimes tears are shed and sometimes a carpet is destroyed. But for the most part, foster homes save the lives of animals who may not have had a chance anywhere else.
