Dog ‘vicious’ only in Pitt Meadows Dogs that attack are not tracked adequately: owner by Ne i l Cor be tt staff reporter

Colleen Flanagan/The newS

MC Starr Kyle ‘Arak Starr Eagle’ Herman raps three original pieces during a talent show at the Salvation Army’s Caring Place on Wednesday, one of many events marking Homelessness Action Week.

A dog that has been labelled vicious after a fight in Pitt Meadows is not considered such in Maple Ridge. After her dog was bitten several times and injured in Pitt Meadows, Shelley Forsyth was shocked to learn that the vicious dog designation given to the offending canine won’t follow it into Maple Ridge, where the owner lives. Forsyth, a Port Coquitlam resident, was with a friend walking dogs along the dike in Pitt Meadows. They had three dogs between them. What happened next is disputed. Forsyth says an oncoming dog lunged for hers, broke its leash, and grabbed Charlie – her lab/golden retriever cross – by the throat. She tried to pull her dog away, and the collar slipped off its head. See Vicious, p16

Problem gamblers hit hard Lower The Stakes arrives as new Chances opens by Nei l Corbe tt staff reporter

A small percentage of problem gamblers contribute an inordinate amount of money to the province’s gaming revenue. Protecting these people is one of the goals of a new report, Lower The Stakes, released Wednesday by B.C.’s Medical

Officer of Health, Dr. Perry Kendall. According to the report, only 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are moderately at risk, while 0.9 per cent are problem gamblers. But these groups contribute some 25 per cent of the province’s total gaming revenue. Their losses constitute a health risk, according to Kendall, who also noted that mental health and addiction problems overlap with gambling addiction. “The time is right for a fulsome discussion on the benefits

and the risks.” This issue is relevant locally, as a new Chances Maple Ridge Gaming Centre is set to open its doors to the public for the first time this coming Wednesday. The report showed that in the decade ending in 2011, gaming revenue in B.C. has nearly doubled, Kendall from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. The rise per capita has gone from $353 to $552 per adult. The number of gaming

machines per person has risen 210 per cent over a decade. Alberta, B.C. and Manitoba all have higher gaming revenues than B.C., but the rest of the provinces are lower. The social cost has been significant, as the number of problem gamblers has risen from 0.4 per cent to 0.9 per cent, or 31,100 people. Another 128,800 people are at risk. See Gaming, p17

Top-free activist welcomes support

breasts exposed. It took five more years to defeat a District of Maple Ridge bylaw, prohibiting females eight years and older from showing their nipples in public.

Her B.C. Supreme Court case set a judicial precedent that allows all women to go top-free anywhere in the province. “When I got home after getting that bylaw ticket, I held it up and said: ‘This is a historical document. It will be the only one ever issued.’” Since her June 2000 victory, Meyer hasn’t rested. She’s tested the court ruling in 25 swimming pools across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. She’s been called names, been mocked, vilified and spat at. “I’ve had men solicit me left, right and centre,” says Meyer, a self-confessed Marxist feminist who has an associate degree in criminology. Still, Meyer remains frustrated that many police officers don’t know that it’s legal for her to take her top off in B.C. Her last encounter with Ridge Meadows RCMP was in 2012. “It’s always the new officers,” she says. “It’s legal for women to do this. Leave us alone.” Meyer paved the way for them. “It’s up to them now if they want to exercise it or not,” she says. “It’s not easy because of the discrimination. Whether they do it or not, I don’t care. What I care about is that it’s their right.”

she added. Many feel that they’re forced to either have a smart meter or are forced to pay the $35 fee every month in order to keep their old meters. “They really feel strongly that it’s extortion.” Bell’s analogue B.C. Hydro meter is enclosed in Plexiglas to prevent crews from replacing it. “I don’t feel like people have given up, or anything like that.” Sharon Noble of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters said opponents have registered for intervenor status and will urge the commission to delay implementation of the fees while a class action lawsuit against Hydro is before the courts. About 38,000 smart meters were installed in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows in

2012. Maple Ridge council also last year asked B.C. Hydro to respect people’s right to opt out of the controversial $900 million project to replace the province’s 1.8 million power meters. The new smart meters will use wireless technology and send out data three times a day, for a total of less than a minute, according to B.C. Hydro. The company says the electromagnetic frequency emitted from the smart meters over a period of 20 years equates to a 30-minute conversation on a cellphone. Regulators have set out a three-month process to consider the grounds for the fees, which the province has mandated by cabinet order to recoup millions of dollars in extra costs to accommodate customers who opt not to have a wireless meter.

Linda Meyer paved way for others by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter

inda Meyer can’t remember the number of times she’s been arrested for baring her breasts. A dozen, perhaps, maybe more. “It’s so many times I’ve lost count,” she says. And for years she battled the cause alone. Now she has company. A video featuring syndicated columnist Lori Welbourne, who bared her breasts during an interview with Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray to mark Go Topless Day and Women’s Equality Day, has gone viral, garnering 3.3 million views on YouTube. In her blog, Welbourne explains why she disrobed. “This wasn’t an exercise in me wanting to expose my breasts, but rather expose the double standard that exists, even in countries like Canada, where it’s legal and just harshly frowned upon. If our society doesn’t want to see the bare chests of women because they’re too sexual or indecent, we should change the laws to reflect that and ban toplessness across the board for both men and women.” Since 1993, when she first took her shirt off in public, Meyer has been handcuffed at

Her protest began simply out of convenience. The trek from Maple Ridge to the only clothing-optional beach in

Vancouver took hours. “Why should I have to drive all the way to Wreak Beach when the men don’t? Her first public protest was on the dike near Jerry Sulina Park in Maple Ridge.

“I was on my bike and I took my top off,” Meyer says. She got a few stares, but police never showed up. Two years later she was arrested for walking down Lougheed Highway with her

Smart meter issue is still not settled by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter

Maple Ridge Coun. Corisa Bell is among those vowing to continue the fight against B.C. Hydro after the provincial utilities commission granted interim approval of extra fees for holdouts. The final word, though, will have to wait a few months, as the commission ponders whether the fees are too high. About 60,000 households that have refused wireless smart meters will have to pay $35 a month extra starting December, if they keep their mechanical meters. “I still don’t have a smart

meter,” said Bell. “The thing is, it’s about choice. A cellphone is a choice. Enforcing a smart meter on citizens – that’s not a choice.” Bell said she’s had lots of questions from other smart meter opponents who don’t know what to do. She’s telling them to do nothing, for now, until the utilities commission has had its final say. Bell still has concerns about the health effects of Wifi-equipped smart meters, which B.C. Hydro have installed in most B.C. homes to replace the old analogue meters. “Absolutely I do. There’s no long-term testing,” she said.

“Other countries have said this is a huge concern and there is scientific information proving it the other way.” She has the same health concerns about cellphones, which she uses carefully. While Bell is a partner in a software company, she still takes other precautions against radio frequency emissions. “We turn our wireless off at night time and limit our exposure as much as possible. “I don’t have a microwave. I don’t believe that it’s good for you.” Bell says many people still object to having smart meters installed in their homes because of health concerns.

And it d o e s n’t m e a n all those w h o h a v e smart meters n o w wanted them. S h e Bell a l s o tries to be careful using cellphones and pointed out if cellphones are safe, why does every manufacturer include warnings telling people to hold the phone a certain distance from their heads or use head sets, which she uses. “People still want to have an option,” to smart meters,

Pitt development fee hike

The government is waiting to hear from the Supreme Court on its plans for reforming the upper house, Kamp added. But if that doesn’t work, the Conservatives could simply abolish it. “It has to change in some way.” Kamp Public opinion supports reforming the Senate rather than simply abolishing it, as favoured by the New Democratic Party, he pointed out. “Our preference is reform it, which is not the NDP position.” Consumers weren’t forgotten either, as the speech confirmed reports that legislation would force cable TV companies to unbundle their channel packages. The government has also said it will reduce roaming charges charged by cellphone companies, enhance broadband networks in rural areas and ensure greater clarity in debit

and credit card charges. But the government is taking no action on credit card rates, gas prices or protecting airline passengers, Coquitlam NDP MP Fin Donnelly said in a release. “I’ve met with many small business owners who want the astronomically high credit card processing fees reduced, which are contributing to higher prices for Canadians and smaller profit margins for small businesses. “The NDP has long called for action to better protect consumers and we will continue to hold the government to account.” According to the throne speech, those resisting the computer age no longer will have to pay for the privilege of getting their bills mailed to them, while there will be a “crack down” on pay day loan companies that charge high interest on loans.

Canada’s Conservative government continued its get-tough-on-crime theme with more tactics to tackle the bad guys announced in Wednesday’s throne speech. “We think the sentences should match the severity of the crimes committed,” said Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge Randy Kamp. During the new session of Parliament, the dangerous offender law will be changed, “ending the discounts [automatic early releases] for child sexual offenders,” Kamp said. “To be frank, we don’t have much tolerance for crimes committed against children and the laws are going to be tough in that regard.” Another change will ensure that at “a life sentence will be a life sentence,” for the most dan-

gerous, repeat offenders. “I think you’re going to see some significant changes in the next couple of years in the justice area, as well.” The suicide last year of former Maple Ridge student Amanda Todd has also the prompted the government to give police more tools to combat cyberbullying. Todd took her own life last year after enduring months of such bullying. Todd was mentioned in the Throne Speech along with an assurance that a new law would criminalize the “non-consensual distribution of intimate images.” The announcements were part of a hour-long speech by Gov. Gen. David Johnston, divided into jobs, balancing the budget and legislation requiring the government to balance its books every year. “The Reform party used be talking about that [a balanced budget law] years ago,” Kamp said. Senate reform is also on the agenda, with the speech saying the status quo is “unacceptable.”

THE NEWS/opinion News Views

Better to be seen Unlike Harry Potter, who relished becoming invisible to other mortals by wearing a certain piece of clothing, visibility is critical for those of us who share the streets with vehicles, especially at this time of year. Dark clothing is, and probably always will be, in style. That fact makes it even tougher for drivers to spot people crossing streets or riding along the edge of roadways without lights or flashers. But visibility is a two-way street. Not only do drivers need to be constantly aware of the presence of other types of road users, those cyclists, runners, walkers, scooter users and skateboarders that drivers encounter also need to respect the fact they may not be easily seen. Road users not in vehicles need to make themselves visible, enough so that no question arises about your actions or use of the shared space. For non-drivers who may have an inflated sense of entitlement for their choice to use alternative transportation, including your feet, think about this: you’ll virtually always lose a head-to-head confrontation with a vehicle. While the rules of the road are meant to be observed by all parties, there is no substitute for pedestrians and drivers making eye contact at a crosswalk, or, if riding your bike on a main thoroughfare, being aware that the light behind you just changed and traffic will soon be upon you. Those are common safety practices good for any time of the year, but fall and winter are particularly tricky for visibility. So why not get yourself a reflective vest, flashing reflector buttons or lights, or reflective cuff strips? Your life is worth more than any pain you might suffer from making a temporary bad fashion statement. – Black Press Share your thoughts with editor@mapleridgenews.com

A disturbing memory of Riverview T

he varied and heated response to my suggestion that Riverview should never be re-opened shows that people do care about mental health, some of them negatively and others with deep compassion and understanding. There will always be Sidewinder a need for secure facil- Sandy Macdougall ities to house patients who pose a serious risk to themselves or the community. While it is highly unlikely that such secure facilities can be affordably situated in every community, locally based programs should be available for the majority of those suffering from mental illness who pose no such threats. At the risk of sounding repetitive, successive NDP and Liberal provincial governments have largely ignored the original commitment to provide community based mental health programs following the closure of Riverview. That systemic failure is now manifesting itself with an appalling growth in mental health problems in our communities. My own personal experience with a close family member has taught me that, for most mentally ill people, large warehouse type facilities such as Riverview are not the answer. Many years ago I was responsible for committing my sister to Riverview when she began acting out her apparently

uestion of the week:

unmanageable delusional problems. A few days later, I visited her at the Center Lawn building at Riverview. I was sickened at what I witnessed there and the vision of that place has haunted me ever since. Patients or inmates sat on the edge or end of their beds, which were spaced less than two feet apart from each other. All of these people appeared to be well beyond the point of over-medication. And I later learned that most of the people in that ward had been shipped there from their communities, which, like Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, had no facilities to provide refuge, shelter or programs. Almost every day I witness homeless people wandering our downtown streets, many of them suffering from various mental health problems or the downside of substance abuse, but few of them demonstrate behavior that would indicate they need to be locked up, medicated and forgotten in some medieval complex such as Riverview. I am not suggesting that finding a solution for the increase in mental health issues is going to be easy, but standing idly by and doing nothing is only going to lead to greater tragedies than the simple matter of unacceptable optics in our neighbourhoods and downtown business district. Lower Mainland mayors may have been on the wrong track when they suggested the re-opening of Riverview, but they did bring the looming tragedy to the forefront.

Should public schools still issue letter grades? Yes: 90% – No: 10% (160 votes)

The ball is now in the court of the provincial government, but our MLAs are not likely to do much about it because any solution will cost huge dollars at a time when every departmental budget is being slashed. The tired old explanation about the government’s lack of ability to fund decent programs and facilities just doesn’t wash in the face of the same government’s ballyhoo about our golden future.

The downstream effect of not proving decent funding and facilities at a local level reminds me of the oil filter commercial where the serviceman says, ‘You pay me now or pay me later.’ The downstream effect of not proving decent funding and facilities at a local level reminds me of the oil filter commercial where the serviceman says, ‘You pay me now or pay me later.’ Until there is a real shift in funding and support for community based mental health programs and facilities, we will continue to be confronted with disturbing sights of the odd behavior of those suffering because of the provincial government failure to keep its promises. Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.

The News/letters Make no mistake, goal is legalization Editor, The News: Re: Marijuana referendum misguided (B.C. Views, Oct. 9). Tom Fletcher claims he has wanted to legalize and regulate cannabis for the past 20 years, and when the only viable option to create a path to legalization and regulation within two years is presented, he reacts like someone called his bluff. Seems he is willing to wait another 20 years. Well, Mr. Fletcher, the rest of us aren’t willing to wait. The majority of Canadians – hell, the majority of Conservatives (62 per cent) – would like decriminalization or legalization to happen. But it’s not to be. Mr. Harper will have none of it. We are down to a loophole that gives provinces control over what police do. It will allow us to stop the madness of prohibition now. Make no mistake; Sensible B.C.’s goal is legalization. Cannabis and cancer? Early research shows there is great potential for effective treatments that involve cannabis. Is it a cure? For some it is, for others it provides immediate relief from the pain and nausea without taking drugs that can get you severely addicted and have nasty side effects. Research is revealing more treatment protocols every day. The new medical cannabis laws will cost the sick $160 million more per year. But that’s OK – they don’t vote Conservative. Most doctors have refused to get involved, Pharmacists have been let off the hook and sick people have been hung out to dry. Many medical professionals have let us down with their prejudice against cannabis and addiction to the perks the pharmaceutical industry brings to the table. Every new cancer patient represents an average $300,000 cash flow potential to the mainstream cancer industry. They won’t make room for cannabis unless it fits their model and provides the cash flow they are used to. Many cancer sufferers who use cannabis would be more than content to grow their own, which means no cash flow and no tax dollars. We need honest research to take place. But with Mr. Harper’s government fighting it tooth and nail, maybe private funds could pick up the slack. People think police just ignore possession now, but arrests have dramatically risen and many more charges are laid. Last year: 16,000 arrests, 3,800 charges and 1,600 convictions at a $10.5 million cost. By far the largest price is paid by the citizens (mainly youth) caught up in this war and who are saddled with a criminal charge on their record and the negative effect it has on their potential. All for doing something that doesn’t hurt them or anyone else. Since when is saving taxes and human potential a bad thing? Police using cannabis arrests to hold someone so they can search for evidence speaks more of lazy police work. The hard working police officers I have talked to (all ranks) would love to be able to ignore possession and get on to serious crime. Craig Speirs Maple Ridge

Drivers do speed on the highway between Maple Ridge and Mission, says one. THE NEWS/files

Where are all the good drivers? Editor, The News: Re: ‘Increase speed limit on Lougheed’ (The News, Oct. 11). Count me among the unconvinced when it comes to increasing speed limits on B.C. highways: • drivers do drive distracted by tasks other than safely operating their motor vehicles; • drivers do ignore speed zones like for schools (especially Pitt Meadows elementary on Harris Road) or for playgrounds (like the park on South Bonson), where I live; • drivers do operate vehicles with signals that do not work in advance of lane changes or cornering; • drivers do have difficulty understanding the concept that a stop sign means stop, as does an amber turning to red light; • drivers do treat sections of the Lougheed Hwy. between the Pitt River Bridge and Mission as high speed zones, and their aggressive driving is apparently matched with an ‘I’ve gotta

get there first’ attitude. This must be so because, for example, they will race to the traffic lights at Harris Road, then 240th Street, and especially before the transition from four-lanes to two-lanes at 272nd Street in Whonnock, or through the busy 60 km/h zone at Silverdale (because you know it’s going back down to two lanes to the east. I say “drivers” not “some drivers” intentionally because, although not all drive distracted, or without regard for speed zones, or too aggressively, more than enough do for their behaviours to be a constant threat to the safe road travel of others. If the too-fast drivers were not so clearly self-indulgent and with apparent disregard for the safety of others, then I could have some sympathy for Ian Toothill’s push. But, sadly, I don’t see the good driving habits that warrant his general thesis. Moreover, a great many drivers are not as good as they think they are.

Far too often I have a driver close on my rear bumper when the road is straight, and then fall quickly back when curves appears. I see the same in my rear view mirror every day with drivers who are incapable of turning into the eastbound lane on Hammond Road from Harris Rd. without using the curb lane/bus stop. This is a simple driving task and done at low speed, but most drivers can’t do it. Frankly, I don’t think drivers are all that competent. However, I will give Mr. Toothill credit for incorporating the latter part of this sentence: “The top speed, he says, should be perceived by most drivers as a fast speed – uncomfortably to maintain for a long trip.” Though I caution, it turns his thesis upside down. On another occasion, I had written about driving around Australia, that the speed on the Stuart Highway was posted at 130 km/h and that not one driver had passed us travelling at 105 km/h –

from Three Ways south to Alice Springs and Erldunda and then north all the way to Katherine in the Northern Territory. Australians travelling in the Outback have learned that even on the best highway in the country, driving too fast is very demanding, tiring and fuel inefficient. They simply don’t do it. So, Mr. Toothill seems to understand that driving fast on B.C.’s Interior highways might not be safe. More than ironic then that increasing speeds where there are more drivers than enough to clog the Lougheed’s four-lane sections at times and most often the two-lane sections, would be on the table. Mr. Toothill says that speed kills your pocket-book’ Another view might be, if $60 million in fines a year has not got the attention of drivers, one had best not tell them. They might drive even faster. Rick Higgs Pitt Meadows

Show some respect, Mr. MP

Honoured to have known you, Dr. Fernandes

Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge MP gets message, slashes budget (The News, Oct. 4). I read the article mentioned that Randy Kamp spent $13,835 on travel for his wife to accompany him to Ottawa. I think this is a total waste of tax dollars and Mr. Kamp should be ashamed. I don’t care if he is technically allowed to do this. This is a very poor decision. I am embarrassed that he is my MP. Mr. Kamp knew what the job required when he ran. If he wants his wife to be there in Ottawa, he should show some respect for the taxpayer and pay for her travel himself. If Mr. Kamp does not see anything wrong with the decision to have the taxpayer pay for his wife to accompany him to Ottawa, I have to question his ability to make important government decisions on his constituents’ behalf. Mr. Kamp needs to lead by example and respect the taxpayer. Mathew Scott Maple Ridge

Editor, The News: Re: Beloved Maple Ridge doctor passes away (The News, Oct. 16). I was fortunate enough to have Clarence Fernandes as my doctor for 35 years. He never judged anyone who came asking for help and always treated everyone with dignity. His wise, intelligent eyes would focus on you as he considered how to heal not only your physical pain, but emotional and human pain, as well. His humour, patience and kindness shone through to everyone who met him or were blessed to be under his care. I believe I met Dr. Fernandes for a reason. He pulled me up from the darkness of my soul when I felt lost or beaten by

illness. He shared my concern and celebration of my children and family throughout our lives, and he inspired me as a mentor, as I am now in college to become a healer. Thank you, Dr. Fernandes. I feel honored to have known you. Arlene Sheppard Maple Ridge

From our hearts Editor, The News: Re: Beloved Maple Ridge doctor passes away (The News, Oct. 16). In memory of Dr. Clarence Fernandes, my dear friend. I’ll never forget the day you offered to drive Chris, Ryan, Jen, and me to Winnipeg to see my folks. We were young,

poor, and so full of life. Vienna, Aaron, Aalton, you and all of us piled into the camper and off we went. We had a blast that summer, didn’t we, my friend. I miss you, Clarence. Two weeks ago you stitched up my arm, you looked after Jiri and, today, I wish you were here. You and Jiri would share a joke or two, you would enjoy his homemade bread, we would talk about our kids, and you would laugh. Oh, how I love to hear you once again. My dear friend, Clarence, on behalf of the Novy family, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for us in the past 33 years. Zdena Novy Maple Ridge

Cheesemaker annoyed by trade deal

CETA pact with Europe signs soon

t took a few moments for Emma Davison to absorb the details, but the more she learned, the less she liked the new trade pact between Canada and Europe. “There will be a quarter of us left, not even. We won’t be able to compete with that price.” Under the deal, European gourmet cheese imports will increase by 32 per cent. Already, Canada allows imports of 13,471 tonnes of European gourmet cheese each year. Davison, one of the owners of Maple Ridge’s Golden Ears Cheesecrafters, says European cheese already has a good percentage of the Canadian gourmet market. But if more European cheese comes into Canada tariff free, it could reduce the demand from Canadian dairies. “We’re a country that’s supposed to be providing for itself,” Davison said. ”Our milk prices could go up.” She added cheese makers could be the last to see the effects, while some dairies could close. She’s optimistic about her family’s own business, however. “I do think our niche market is going to stay as strong as it is.” But had the new deal been in place when the Golden Ears was starting up a few years ago, Davison doubts the family business would have survived. “Our business would not have grown if this had been approved earlier. It wouldn’t have been possible. I’m just shocked there aren’t that many people stand-

Emma Davison, co-owner of Golden Ears Cheesecrafters. ing up to this and saying, ‘no.’” Under the comprehensive economic and trade agreement with the European Union, 60 per cent of the gourmet cheese market will be occupied by subsidized European cheeses. Dave Eto, CEO with the B.C. Dairy Association, said the pact allowing Europeans more access to the Canadian market was unexpected. The association was told that last week that increases to cheese imports were not part of the deal. “We were told there would be no change to the current system. That came as a big surprise to us.” Total cheese production of all types, such as process and cheddar, in Canada yearly is about 425,000 tonnes. Eto said increasing the European imports could hurt B.C.’s small cheese makers, which in turn could affect the dairy industry. The federal government says the retail cheese market is growing by two per cent a year and that growth in five years should oftset the increase in imports. Also at issue, Eto said, is food security and the Buy Local initiative,

having consumers access locally made products. “Now, we’re almost saying the exact opposite, Now we’ll let a lot of foreign products come in, just because we feel that is an appropriate trade arrangement.” Eto also said under Canada’s supply management system, dairy farmers get no direct subsidies, a point also made by Davison. “We don’t subsidize our milk at all, which is why it’s cheaper in the U.S.,” Davison said. She added that American subsidies to dairy farms work out to about 40 cents a litre. “I’d put my milk against theirs any day for quality, vitamins and nutrients.” According to Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, the comprehensive economic and trade agreement with the European Union will increase Canada’s income by $12 billion annually and bilateral trade by 20 per cent. That’s worth 80,000 new jobs or an increase to the average Canadian family’s income by $1,000. The European Union market is 2.7 times larger than the U.S. market.

Serving B.C. families since 1961.

“When you negotiate a trade deal, there’s always going to be some give and take,” Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MP Randy Kamp said Wednesday from Ottawa. “We expect our businesses to compete.” He didn’t know how cheese producers would be affected, but said Golden Ears Cheesecrafters “have a pretty strong hold in the market, I think. “In order to complete it, there’s always going to be some people that wish the terms were different,” Kamp said of the trade deal. “It’s a good agreement that’s going to provide significant benefits to Canadians.” According to the government, the European deal will be larger than the North American Free Trade Agreement. It claims NAFTA created 4.5 million jobs. The Dairy Farmers of Canada didn’t want to provide exact tonnages. “This deal would displace our local products with subsidized cheeses from EU and risk our small businesses being shut down or put out of business. “This is unacceptable,” the Dairy Farmers said in a release.

No fall session, MLAs busy at home Bing still waiting for office to open by Phil Mel nyc hu k staff reporter

Doug Bing won the election in May, but the new MLA still has no place to call his own, five months after the vote. Renovations are still on going for Bing’s MLA’ office at 20130 Lougheed Hwy., so voters who want to see him have to go to fellow Liberal Marc Dalton’s office on Dewdney Trunk Road and 230th Street. Bing is sharing space with Dalton until the new office is ready. “It’ll probably be a little while yet,” Bing said Tuesday. “It just seems to be taking longer than you expect. You’re sort of at the whim of other people.” Bing defeated NDP candidate Elizabeth Rosenau last spring, taking the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows riding from the New Democrats, during the Liberals’ surprise victory and the NDP’s crushing defeat. Bing will still have to wait a while to practise his debating skills in the B.C. legislature. The house sat five or six weeks in the summer, but won’t again until February. That has the NDP calling foul, pointing out the House sat for only 36 days this year and that it’s the second

time in a row the fall sitting was scratched. B.C. Hydro rate hikes and B.C. Ferries spending are two of the issues that should be debated this fall, the NDP said in a release. Bing said the only formal time for the sitting of the house is from February to May, saying the fall session is optional. “We already had a summer sitting,” to pass the provincial budget. “That’s the main purpose of the house, is to look after money matters.” The move from May’s election victory to the summer sitting has kept MLAs and cabinet ministers from getting organized, saying others are still working on getting their offices open. Meanwhile, Bing says, “There’s lots to do.” Community groups and organizations and voters want to talk to MLAs, who are also trying to get up to speed on issues. Bing was in Dawson Creek recently to learn about the oil and gas industry. He’s also on the cabinet committee on strong economy, as well as the aboriginal affairs and the health committee. He’s also hosting Agricultural Minister Pat Pimm in a tour of the area this month. As well, Bing wants to work to help deliver funding for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows

He claimed the Liberals have a better record than the NDP when it comes to having fall sittings of the legislature. During the Union of B.C. Municipalities conference last month, Dalton talked with Transportation Minister Todd Stone about widening of the last few kilometres of Lougheed Highway in east Maple Ridge, as well as Mission. Engineering and cost studies are underway for that last threekilometre section, but there’s no money yet to do the project. “That doesn’t mean it will be any time immediate.” It’s seen as an important corridor, however. Before UBCM, Dalton also raised the issue of expanding West Coast Express service, pointing out the current agreement with CP Rail for track time expires in 2015.

signatures that are declared invalid. The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader cannabis legalization. In Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, 60 canvassers have been out in force, drumming up support for the petition. Former municipal councillor Craig Speirs is leading the charge and isn’t discouraged by the signatures his group has collected so far. Speirs and his volunteers want to get 5,600 signatures in both local ridings – Maple RidgePitt Meadows and Maple Ridge-Mission – by the early December deadline. They’ve gotten 1,400 so far. “These things sometimes have to get a life of their own,” said Speirs, claiming the campaign will gain momentum as the deadline draws closer. Speirs is encouraged by the diversity of people who are signing the petition – young and old, political neophytes and seasoned protestors. “There are a lot of people who have preconceptions about marijuana,” said Speirs. “This is not about opening things up for everyone. It’s about controlling access like alcohol or tobacco.” Locally, the campaign has been door-knocking and hitting up commu-

nity events to collect signatures. Their “beach head” is the parking lot of A&W Restaurant on 228th Street – a location the anti-HST folk recommended to Speirs. “It’s where we are going to spend the most time,” said Speirs. “There’s room for people to pull over.” Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails. Even if it succeeds, a referendum is not automatic – the Legislature could introduce the proposed Sensible Policing Act, but not put it to a vote. If it was sent to another referendum, it could be non-binding – the HST referendum after a successful Fight HST petition was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so. Fight HST also had more signatures at its 30day mark – more than 300,000 – and wrapped up with 705,000. According to Sensible B.C., canvassers have already collected nearly enough signatures in Vancouver districts such as the West End and along False Creek. Most Interior and Northern districts are also doing well, with about a third of the signatures gathered, and campaigns are running ahead of schedule in Nelson, Kelowna and Kamloops. Suburban ridings in Metro Vancouver, including Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challenging.

Poverty and Food Security Poverty is the leading cause of homelessness. A lack of affordable housing across the region means that people need to spend a large portion of their income on housing. Housing is considered affordable if it costs one-third or less of a person’s gross income. Often, in order to stay housed, people find it difficult to pay for basic necessities like food. The Meal Program at The Caring Place serves over 10,000 meals a month at the shelter, and sends 168 lunches a day to school children in the community. Many of the people who access the Meal Program are not homeless, but need this kind of support to stay housed. 604-463-8296 ext 123, tim.sarsfield@caringplace.ca. The Friends in Need Food Bank provides food to individuals, families and community service providers. 604-466-3663. Golden Ears FEAST (Food Education & Action Strategy Table) is a community collaboration made up of individuals and groups that have a stake in our local food system.

Fryer sparks fire at Maple Ridge pub by Moni s ha M ar tin s staff reporter

A popular Maple Ridge pub was badly damaged by fire early Thursday. The blaze started around 9:30 a.m. in the kitchen of the Witch of Endor Pub just after a cook had started shift. The man was turning on equipment to prepare for the day when the deep fryer ignited. The flames spread quickly throughout the kitchen. As thick black clouds poured out of the pub, a customer called 911 and ran to the liquor store next door to alert staff. “When we looked out, we saw lots of smoke billowing out of the pub,” said Hayden Hebeler, who works at the Witch of Endor liquor store, which was not damaged. The man who was in the pub’s kitchen when

Windows were smashed at the Witch of Endor pub during a fire Thursday morning. the fire started activated a fire suppression hood that’s installed over the deep fryer and tried to fight the flames with an extinguisher, but was unable to control them. “The flames forced him out of the kitchen,” said fire chief Dane Spence. The staff member did not sustain any injuries.

The back of the pub was badly damaged in the fire, but firefighters managed to hold back the flames before they spread to other areas. Spence added the damage is still significant. The dining area was filled with smoke and soaked with water. “There’s a lot of mechanical and electrical appliances that are heavily damaged,” he

added. The Maple Ridge Fire Department had three other calls came in while crews were at the pub. They included an electrical fire at a house on Gray Street, a kitchen fire on Hall Street and a dryer fire on 204th Street. With resources stretched, Pitt Meadows Fire Department was called in to assist.

SPECC-tacular Productions presents the Pantomime

The Pitt Meadows bylaws department investigated and determined Read’s dog is vicious. However, that designation will not follow him into Maple Ridge. “He’s only deemed vicious in Pitt Meadows,” said Forsyth. “What’s the point of deeming him vicious then?” “That’s ridiculous, in my eyes,” she added. “If a dog’s deemed vicious, it should be province-wide.” Pitt Meadows’ bylaw was recently rewritten. Among the requirements for vicious dog owners are a warning sign at their property, keeping the dog muzzled and leashed in public, the dog not being allowed in designated offleash areas and requirements to keep the dog confined. In addition, the owner must hire a dog trainer to remediate the dog’s violent behaviour, and give the city written confirmation. It allows for a dog to be determined as vicious based on reports to bylaws officers Leslie Elchuk, bylaws enforcement officer in Pitt Meadows, said it’s a good bylaw for dealing with dogs, but has no authority over what a dog owner does with his pet in Maple Ridge, or any other municipality. Elchuk said municipalities do share information about vicious dogs. But there is no provincial or regional database. What’s more, the policy of the Maple Ridge SPCA is to not transfer vicious dog designations from other municipalities, said assistant manager Carolyn Smith. She said if a dog has been found to be dangerous, it is in the owner’s best interest to keep it muzzled in public. However, “We can’t enforce it in Maple Ridge.” Read is not happy with the process Pitt Meadows used to determine that his dog is vicious. “How did they determine that it was my dog? They spoke to me for 60 seconds,” he said of the other two dog walkers. “They fought – dogs fight.” Elchuk interviewed the two parties involved, and the one witness. The total vet bill is estimated at almost $3,500, and Read is disputing that he should be responsible for that entire amount. He maintains that both dogs were off their leashes, fighting. Forsyth characterized his dog as a pit bull/boxer cross. Read said it is a purebred boxer. Read said it was the first such incident involving his dog, and the incident bothered him for days. The two parties are in communication, trying to work out an arrangement.

‘Warning signs’ Gaming from front

The report offered numerous recommendations, including warning signs on machines that are known to carry the most risk for gambling addiction, and empowering casino staff to identify problem gamblers. Patrons of the Maple Ridge Community Gaming Centre are aware of the issue of problem gaming. Speaking with people who were coming and going from the soon-tobe-moved bingo hall on 227th Street on Wednesday afternoon, all said they set a limit of how much money they will gamble with, then quit when it’s gone. Most also said they see other gamblers playing slots who appear to be spending too much. “Mixing the drinking and gambling is not a good thing,” said Diana Spani. “I don’t like that they’re getting a [liquor] licence at the new centre.” She said Maple Ridge appears to have some problem gamblers, or people who are at risk of becoming so. “There’s a lot who are in here every day – or at least every time I’m here, they’re here,” she said. “I like that it’s here. I enjoy it.”

That sentiment was share by Hope resident Heather Dewar, who meets her sister in Maple Ridge on a regular basis, and they love to play the slots together. “It’s a wonderful thing for us, and it’s what we enjoy doing,” she said. “We play $20 each, and that’s it.” Chances is a community gathering place, they say. The gamers paint a picture of seniors who go to the gaming centre as a place to meet, and a social network of women who play bingo together. Chuck Keeling, the executive director of stakeholder relations for Great Canadian, Casinos which will operate Chances Maple Ridge, said his company will await a government review of the recommendations before taking any action. He said staff are already trained to identify problem gamblers, and initiate discussions that result in some customers seeking a voluntary self exclusion – meaning they are not allowed to gamble at the gaming centres. “We like to think of ourselves as responsible operators,” he said. “That’s our social licence – do people deem us to be a good corporate citizens.” He acknowledged that

Chances will be a place where people – many of them older – go to simply gather and socialize. To that end, he said the new facility will offer more live acts, meals and drinks. “We want this to be more of an entertainment facility – not just gambling.” Chief among the findings in the report is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis. The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay. Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices. He said gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of the brain. “If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.”

Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report. It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour.

Kendall suggested they be replaced with lowerrisk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option. Gerald Thomas, from the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the prov-

ince has high-, mediumand low-risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each. Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be contingent on reducing the

overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends. It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in Grades 10 to 12. The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net profits to government.

What’s everyone complaining about?

elebrating Thanksgiving was a great reminder how the act of giving thanks changed my life. I remember the day clearly. I had been chronically ill for five years and was continuing to decline in health, both physically and emotionally. As I was going to ascend the basement stairs, they suddenly seemed impossible for me to climb. I was just too weak. I stood there staring hopelessly at the top and considered crawling up the stairs. It struck me that for some reason this was a pivotal moment for me, although I didn’t know why. I decided I would take one step at a time slowly. To my surprise, when I took the first step, I said, “Thank you, Lord.” After that, with every step, I thanked the Lord for enabling me to do so. By the time I reached the top, I was truly grateful and at peace with what normally would have been a tense and upsetting situation. Thankfulness had

changed my attitude and Dr. Dale Robbins has also the outcome. I was stated: “I used to think still tired physically, but people complained not exhausted emotionbecause they had a lot ally from frustration and of problems. But I have defeat. come to realize that they I had found gratitude have problems because in a place of struggle and they complain.

Woodbridge Homes’ Salix features Georgian-style architecture, with red brick accents and styled ironwork, above. The homes are spacious and inviting, with wood laminate flooring and large windows to let the natural light pour in, above right.

Sophisticated style at Woodbridge’s Salix in Surrey By Kerry Vital

Style reigns supreme at Salix, Woodbridge Homes’ condominium project in Surrey’s Clayton Heights neighbourhood that combines gorgeous homes and a great location in one amazing package. “The value we’re presenting here is really unmatched,” says sales manager Rob Carlsen. “You’re going to have a well-built home that

RENO ME! with

you’ll enjoy for years to come.” Stylish elegance is the name of the game at Salix, with its Georgian-inspired architecture. Red brick and styled ironwork combine with the craftsman woodwork accents to make for a chic entrance to the four-storey building. Woodbridge is now selling the final homes in the project. Most are two-bedroom and two-bedroom-and-den plans, but Carlsen says there’s still a wide variety, with six different plans to choose from. “Now is really the time to buy,” he says, adding that Salix recently opened up their new model home. When it comes to finishings, buyers have two different interior design schemes to choose from: one contemporary and one traditional. The contemporary scheme (called Sallow) feature stone countertops and chic

white satin flat panel upper cabinets and dark laminate flat panel lower cabinets, complemented by a modern stainless-steel feature hood fan in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the traditional scheme (called Willow) includes elegant granite countertops and Victorian cabinetry in a dark wood, with its own custom Broan hood fan. “Our unique finishings really stand above the crowd,” Carlsen says. Both options feature stainless-steel appliances and under-cabinet lighting, along with spacious bathrooms with walk-in showers surrounded by ceramic tile and welllit large vanity mirrors. Storage space abounds at Salix, and purchasers now have the opportunity to upgrade to a huge storage locker as part of the new incentive package offered by the

developer. The views from the homes at Salix are spectacular, with some facing Mount Baker. Oversized windows let the natural light pour in, and you can easily imagine spending your evenings on your private patio or balcony. Nine-foot ceilings (10 feet on the top and ground floors) contribute to the overall feeling of spaciousness. Salix is perfectly located in the Clayton Heights area to take advantage of all its amenities, from shopping and dining at Willowbrook Shopping Centre to schools, leisure and recreation opportunities in the neighbourhood itself. “I feel really good about the value we’re providing to purchasers,” Carlsen says. “It’s a small, quiet building in a prime location.” Woodbridge is also offering a $10,000 incentive package right now to buyers, who can put that money towards upgrades on their home. “It’s a gift from the builder to our buyers,” says Carlsen. “It’s an amazing value at our price point.” Homes at Salix start at $219,900, and you can move in this fall. For more information, visit www.salixliving.com, call 604-5300054 or visit the presentation centre at 6477 196th Street, Surrey, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

Brightening up winters blahs

All listings in this publication are advertised by licensed Realtors®.

consider some new pendant lamps for strategic locations in the house – say over a kitchen island or a nook. There are lots of inexpensive options available in a variety of lighting and hardware stores, and the looks are very modern with more glass and more reflective surfaces. • When in doubt, paint: A coat of paint is the go to option when trying to brighten up a room. There are lots of shades of paint that will brighten a room, and you don’t have to do all the walls. “A single feature wall can make a dramatic difference in terms of brightness,” says Brown. “Even something like painting the baseboards and other trim will make things much brighter because they tend to get dull and dirty over time.” • Consider being framed: A quick and easy way to add some brightening effects to the detail in a room is to change the frames of photos and pictures from black or other dark colours to white or light colours. Take several odd-shaped photos, change the frames, and then group them to create an interesting focal point that also makes the room brighter. • One last idea: Store those darker throws that cover your furniture and invest in some lambskin or faux fur throws that are not only lighter in colour, but also cozy for a cold winter night. After all, snuggling into a lambskin that has the added advantage of making the room cheerier is just the ticket to beat those winter blahs.

By Robert Prince

s the fall and winter months set in, and the days get more grey, your house starts to lose some of the cheeriness that plenty of sunshine imparts to any home. Left untreated, that dullness eventually translates into the winter blahs – a condition that afflicts too many people in the season to come. Luckily, interior designer Camilla Brown has half a dozen or so inexpensive and easy-to-do home decor projects that will go a long way to brightening up your home and defeating the winter “blahs.” • De-clutter: the Maple Ridge-based designer suggests the easiest way to begin the brightening process is to declutter, particularly in areas that have lots of shiny surfaces like kitchens and bathrooms. Yes, as strange as that might sound, Brown says getting the stuff off your counters and other reflective surfaces can go a long way to improving the brightness factor in your home. “Let the gloss from your solid surface counter tops reflect your indoor lighting, creating a brighter environment,” says Brown. “Clutter eats up light and prevents reflection, so the more stuff you clear away, the better.” She says clutter has a tendency to just happen during the day, so designated de-clutter time – say just before dinner – is a great way for everyone in the family to pitch in and brighten the house in a hurry without a lot of fuss. • Bring on the “bling”: Inserting more “bling” into your home is also a great way to

Camilla Brown, designer with West Coast Dream Homes Ltd., says that by adding bright accessories like white textured pillows, bright artwork and a bit of “bling,” such as candles in holders, can brighten up a room for the winter.

introduce more brightness, says the designer from West Coast Dream Homes, and it doesn’t have to be all that expensive. “Add some metallic finishes to any room and you’re going to make it brighter,” she notes, suggesting centerpieces with metallic finishes or other decor pieces placed strategically through the home. “Try a sculpted gold or silver pear as a centerpiece or a metallic or mirrored tray as a place to store your remote controls.” There are lots of ways to

increase the “bling” quotient in a room, and all of them will help reflect whatever natural or artificial light is present to make the room seem brighter. • Add a splash of colour: Splashes of the right colour, placed strategically in a room, can really brighten things up, Brown suggests. Get away from browns and blacks, and go with peacock blue, orange, chartreuses, or purple – not the deep purples that absorb light, but the lighter, more vibrant purples. These are hot colours right now, and when you

use them in silks or velvets, they really warm up a room as well. • Let there be light: Sometimes, brightening up a room can be as straightforward and obvious as ensuring the light bulbs are in good condition. One dead or dull bulb can really ratchet down the brightness factor in a room, says Brown, so if you feel there isn’t enough light then make sure all the bulbs are full wattage. Get new bulbs, if necessary, or consider LED white lights for lower energy consumption and brighter light. You might also want to

I am thankful for... A very special thank you to students at Pitt Meadows Elementary and teacher Ali Wakeling for their submissions to the “I am thankful for” News contest. Their school is focused on the theme of “Gratitude” for this month of October. Here are a few of their reflections. By: Destiny October is the month of gratitude.

I am thankful for having a roof over my head because without that we would be cold. I’m thankful for school because without school we would not be smart. I am grateful for having health and safety because without those two things it would not matter if we had anything else.

By Stephanie I’m very

grateful for my mom, We need police officers to take criminals to jail so we have nice people on Mrs. Wakeling, and food. the streets. We need paramedics to take injured people to the hospital to I’m grateful for my mom make them better. We also need firefighters to get rid of all the fires so the and the food she gives world doesn’t burn down in flames. me. I’m thankful for Mrs. Wakeling teaching me By Nicole The one thing that I could never live without is my family. My good ways to learn! family is always there for me even when I mess up; they love me no matter what. I really respect the fact that they work to keep food on the table and By Michael I am grateful a roof over my head. My family trusts me 100% even though they know I’m for my family, friends, forgetful, they trust me to walk my dog every day. food and health. Without my family and friends I would be less confident and lonely. Without food and health I would starve and it would be difficult to play sports & be active.

By Alex Do you love

your mom? Because I’m grateful for my lovely mom. I love my mom so much and I would even give my life for her. On Friday my mom and I have a mother and daughter day. We will go to Coquitlam Centre to eat out, do grocery shopping and of course buy me stuff that I need or for fun. If I didn’t have a mom I wouldn’t have been born.

By William There are

By Morgan I’m grateful for a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, a school to learn in and food to eat. There are other things like family and friends that everyone should have and I am very thankful to have them.

By Amy I am most grateful for my family. My family says encouraging things and supports me with anything I do. I know my family loves me because they do fun things with me and says that they love me every time I see them. By Alycia I am grateful for education because I am able to learn things that I never knew before. If there was no education in the world it would be hard to get a job and if you don’t have a job. If there was no education, I wouldn’t know very much.

LifeStyles

By Alicia I’m grateful for my sister because I always look up to her and say I want to be just like you. When I have dance and I do not know what to do she will help me. If I’m having troubles at school she will say I’m always here for you because that’s what a great sister does.

By Mackenzie Can you imagine a world without emergency services?

a lot of things we’re grateful for, but food is one of the most important things that we have. With no food, there would be no people left on the planet, and Earth would be lifeless. We should be grateful for this very important thing, and those that have enough food to share.

For the way you live

By Nikki I am grateful for my healthy lifestyle. If I wasn’t healthy I could be in a hospital on life support right now. Without it, I might not be able to play sports, hang out with friends and family. Consider what you are grateful for this October. By Riti If I didn’t have a loving family I

would regret it and my whole life would turn around. I am grateful for food because there are millions and millions of children around the world who starve without any hope of finding food and their days begin and end with starvation. You should think more about “THE NEEDS THAN THE WANTS”.

By Nicholas Could you live without clean

water, food, family, friends or health? I know I couldn’t. I am also grateful for hospitals, doctors and ambulances for giving me good health. Look at the countries without hospitals or clean water, & be grateful that you live in a country with a good healthcare system.

By Jade I am grateful for many things but one that I am really grateful for is my family. My family is very caring and happy. I’m very grateful when my nana gets me new clothes because some families can’t afford it. When you’re reading this I hope you think about what your family has done for you.

604-561-0053 REENA

By Danil I am grateful that I have a family and that they can afford food and water. I am grateful that I live in a nice, big house and that I have some technology for entertainment. I am grateful that I have education and friends.

By Mrs. Ali Wakeling I am grateful that my family lives in the Province of British Columbia and in

particular the City of Pitt Meadows. We are blessed to be surrounded by indescribable beauty of our mountains, lakes, rivers and coastline. We have an incredible health care system (which includes the BC Cancer Agency.) But most of all I am thankful for the citizens who make this province and particularly my city Pitt Meadows, the envy of the world.

Pitt juniors defeat Moscrop

Sports briefs

Ramblers down Pitt The Maple Ridge Ramblers junior boys soccer team earned a 5-2 win over Pitt Meadows secondary on Wednesday. MRSS finishes off their regular season on Monday against Heritage Woods.

Volleyball battles

The Pitt Meadows Marauders junior varsity football team beat the Moscrop Panthers 36-8 on Wednesday evening. The victory improves the Marauders to three wins and two losses in the J.V. Central League. They are in third place in the six-team division. Terry Fox is the class of the circuit, having gone 3-0, and scoring 138 points while allowing none in league play. The Pitt Meadows senior team lost 23-7 to their Eastern Conference rival Rick Hansen on Friday night. The Hurricanes are undefeated so far at 4-0. The Marauders are 2-2, and sitting in fourth place in their eight -eam league. Jake Schuster is one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league, having thrown for 464 yards and eight touchdowns in three games. The Eight majors is the second highest total in the league. Running back Brandon Stewart is also a standout, with 314 yards and two touchdowns in two games. The Samuel Robertson Technical Titans had their Friday night game called off when referees failed to show up, and are 0-3 in league.

After a long two days of great volleyball and hard fought battles, the Maple Ridge Secondary Grade 8 girls placed second in the RE Mountain Secondary Volleyball Tournament.

The Maple Ridge Ramblers junior boys volleyball team beat Garibaldi and Westview on Wednesday. The Ridge boys beat Garibaldi in two straight sets and then went on to beat Westview in three sets with a third game win of 18-16. The boys are off to Volleywest this weekend in Port Moody.

LeBlanc back with the national team

National soccer team member Karina LeBlanc signs autographs at Maple Ridge secondary.

the newS/files

Karina LeBlanc, the pride of Maple Ridge soccer, is back with the national women’s team. The Canadian women’s team coach, John Herdman, recently released the roster that will take part in an exhibition game in Edmonton on Oct. 31. Veteran keeper LeBlanc will be part of that Halloween friendly in the City of Champions against South Korea. Christine Sinclair, Diana Matheson and many other familiar names are also on the roster, which is not surprising given that group brought home a bronze medal from the 2012 London Olympics. Herdman has promised he will be looking at new players during this trip. The women will all gather in Edmonton on Oct. 24 for pre-match training. LeBlanc, now 33, is still at the top of her game. She played for the Portland Thorns FC during the past season, and they won the

inaugural National Women’s Soccer League championship. In the final against the Western New York Flash at the end of August, she blanked them in a shutout win, with a couple of tough saves among her seven stops. LeBlanc started 21 games for the Thorns, who are affiliated with the MLS Timbers men’s team. She put up a record of 11 wins, five losses and five ties, and had seven shutouts. She was a huge part of her team’s great opening season, as LeBlanc led the NWSL is wins, and was second on the new circuit in both saves and minutes played. Her national team teammate and fellow B.C. native Sinclair also figured in that championship, with a goal in the final. She had eight goals in 20 games during the campaign. LeBlanc has made 105 appearances and 98 starts for the national team, and made her debut in 1998, when she was just 18.

IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Memory of

Isabella Madeleine Analise Cant ~ October 21, 2005 ~ Forgotten? Never!

Friends may think we have forgotten when at times they see us smile Little do they know the heartache that our smile hides all the while. Beautiful memories are wonderful things

They last till the longest day They never wear out They never get lost and can never be given away. To some you may be forgotten To others a part of the past But to those who loved and lost you Your memory will always last. We will love you forever. Mommy, Daddy, Lucas, Tanner ,Tawnilyn (Grifﬁn and Qwynn)

A mighty heart has stilled. Peace, at last. Surrounded by those he loved and who loved him, Clark ended his long journey through Alzheimer’s Disease. Along his way, Clark touched the lives of countless people friends, colleagues and most of all, family - leaving amazing memories and joy in his wake. When told his past was a “mystery” to his girls, he wrote an incredible document. Over several years, dictating when he could no longer type, he wrote down all he could remember about his life to leave a lasting legacy. He often marvelled at the adventure life became for a kid from the north. From growing up in little northern towns to travelling the world, often on the expense account of IBM where he spent most of his working career! Born in Red Deer, AB, living around Manitoba as a boy, he always called Calgary “home,” even when moving from coast to coast, around the USA and to Australia. He will be remembered and cherished always by his wife, Suzanne, daughters Tina and Tracy (Darren), grandchildren Noah & Madison, sister Benny & her family, the Clarkes: Frank (Vera), Clint (Glenda), Candice (Rick), Kasandra (Don) & their families, Jan & Jill in Denmark, and friends too numerous to count. A private cremation will be held with a celebration of life to be announced at a later time. Please, in lieu of flowers, consider a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society or a Cancer fund.

DAFOE, Bernice Nola (nee Jones) April 5, 1945 - October 4, 2013 ~ of Maple Ridge ~ Friends, family, everyone who loved us and our Mom. It is with deep regret we share our mother passed away on October 4th, 2013 at her daughters’ home in New Westminster after a short battle with cancer.

Blue Skies from now on Mom, Sister, Nana and friend. A Celebration of Life open house will be held 2-5pm on Saturday, October 26, 2013 at The Boiler House building, 215 Francis Way (at end of East Royal Ave), New Westminster, BC (Victoria Hill area on the old Woodlands site).
