teacher caught with pornography on laptop Disciplined, but continues to work at Pitt secondary by Moni s ha M ar tin s staff reporter
A teacher recently disciplined for downloading hard-core pornography on to a school laptop continues to teach at Pitt Meadows secondary. Joseph Paul Stephane Marion was formally reprimanded Oct. 12 by the Ministry of Education’s Teacher Regulation Branch after an investigation into his conduct while he was a French immersion teacher in 2009 at Maple Ridge secondary. On Jan. 13, 2010, the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District suspended Marion without pay for three weeks because an investigator found he had downloaded thousands of pornographic video and photo files on to a school-issued computer.

Zero tax increase ‘unpalatable’ Councillors apologize for asking to slash budgets by Moni s ha M ar tin s staff reporter
Giving homeowners in Pitt Meadows a break on taxes next year could mean cuts to services such as fire department training, road maintenance and city celebrations. Council learned Tuesday that a zero tax increase, which residents
petitioned for last year, would require departments to slash their budgets and could see jobs lost. “I don’t recommend it,” said city finance director Mark Roberts, who estimates the city will need to raise its municipal tax rate by 3.3 per cent just to maintain services next year. A one-per-cent tax increase in 2014 would generate $156,000 in revenue for the city. The proposed preliminary tax increase of 3.3 per cent would mean an additional $56 to the average homeowner in Pitt Meadows, with

a property valued at $369,046 The proposed 2014 budget includes $445,000 in reductions. Even before Roberts began his presentation, the prospect of scaling back upset councillors. “This is not fair,” said Coun. Tracy Miyashita. “Why should our staff go through these cuts while our partners don’t? It’s upsetting.” Details for the 2014 budget won’t be finalized until January. However, preliminary figures show that even a three-per-cent tax increase would mean some re-

ductions, such as getting rid of staff recognition, volunteer gifts, the firefighters award dinner, road shoulder maintenance, filling pot holes and curbing overtime. To achieve no tax increase would mean deeper cuts, including reducing annual training for volunteer firefighters, eliminating a vacant police officer position and stopping cash contributions the city makes to Pitt Meadows Day, the agricultural association and restorative justice group.

New chief wants to get all talking
pear for opening ceremonies. “We’re neighbours. I believe in inviting people wherever we can. The more co-operation we get, the more understanding, the easier our daily lives become in getting things done.” She knows the band also faces a drug and alcohol problem and wants to make “significant” changes and provide services to address that. In the next few weeks, sod will be turned on the band’s new community health building. “This needs to become a very user friendly environment. I believe we can make those changes in a short amount of time. That’s not my challenge. My challenge is to sustain it,” Miller said. “There’s always good will at the beginning. But if you want to continue it, I’ve got to practise what I preach.”
S tor y by Phil Melnychuk
S
usan Miller knows she has her work cut out for her as new chief of the Katzie First Nation. But with three decades of administrative experience in band offices in the Lower Mainland, (Katzie, Tsawwassen, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem and the Sto:Lo Nation in Chilliwack), she knows what she’s getting into. “I understand the dynamics it takes to run an administrative office.” But now she’s back with her own band, helping the Katzie First Nation as it works its way through the treaty process and seeks a new future. Miller, 51, from the band’s reserve in Langley, was elected Oct. 25 in a runoff vote to settle a tied election. She won the final count with 79 votes over Peter A. James, who received 69 votes. She’d run years previously, but this time without other duties to worry about, she was able to focus. The election was necessary following the resignation of Ed Pierre as chief in August. Miller is happy she won, but says it was a lot of hard work. “Unfortunately, in our community, we still suffer from voting in our chiefs and councils, based on popularity as opposed to experience. I had to work really hard to gain the votes that I did because I don’t have a large family.” With the vote settled, following a brief swearing in ceremony Wednesday, Miller is wasting no time trying to make a difference from her tiny office in the band’s headquarters on the Katzie’s Pitt Meadows reserve, sandwiched between Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. “When I got here on Monday, it was like a cemetery in here.” She was referring to the closed office doors throughout the building and people not talking to each other. She was told to always use her key and never leave her office unlocked. “I feel like I’m in a prison. This is a community. It needs to come back to being a community.” The discord even showed during the swearing in ceremony, during which one member accused councillors of not governing for the entire band and for favouring friends and relatives. Miller’s term only lasts until February, but she plans on running again then for another two-year term, so she can help heal the reserve and the office that a few months ago almost closed down. People weren’t talking, were playing favourites and making decisions without justification.

Katzie chief Susan Miller is congratulated by Carissa Scott during ceremony attended by foster mom, Ilona Marshall, (below).
It’s a tough job, but says she wants to take it on. And the pressure is on to get things done. “My goal is to start to change that, to start to heal that. “I believe that I know a lot of the things that need to be done. My challenge from the community is how do I make those things happen.” She wants council to become more focused on the community and the band rather than on internal matters. It might be difficult for a few weeks, but she expects council will unite and work as a team and succeed. She told spectators at her swearing in that she would be fair and honest and won’t abandon them. “I can’t make everybody happy and I’m not going to try.” In the next few weeks, she also
wants to discuss revising the election code in order to make band councillors more accountable and easier to recall. “I would like to see chief and council become true governance people.” She wants councillors to focus more on the community and band rather than on internal matters. “In First Nations communities, chief and council are responsible to present budgets, to present work plans, to present progress reports. We have very many interests throughout our traditional territory. “Our general community member does not know what’s going on, things that we’re working on.” She wants to change that by keeping people informed. Part of that process will be a gen-
eral band meeting of the entire Katzie First Nation, set for Nov. 20. One of the Katzie First Nation’s priorities is negotiating a treaty with provincial and senior governments that will give the nation the ability to run its own affairs. That process is currently at Stage 4, with an agreement in principle and is now awaiting response from senior governments. Moving from the Indian Act to self government is an arduous process that takes work and community consultation. That means getting people involved in whatever way is possible, either through family meetings, individual meetings, conferences. “Everything that it takes from the youngest to the oldest.” Negotiating a treaty requires shifting mindsets, moving from the paternalism of the Indian Act, to operating as an autonomous entity, with a treaty in place. “When you have the ability to begin to truly govern yourself when it comes to land use, law making, education, the whole world just opens up to you. “This won’t work if the community’s not involved. My job is to open the doors of the Katzie, to bring community members in … and to develop their vision and belief for the future.” Miller’s priorities, though, are more immediate. She wants to become a “true” partner with school board and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows and RCMP and not just be asked to ap-
When Katzie First Nation chief Susan Miller was sworn in on Wednesday, she’d already won over one person in the audience. Foster mom Ilona Marshall had raised Miller since she was 15 and gave a character reference to the rest of the band based on knowing her for decades. “I could always count on Susan. She’s strong, sensible and fair. So you are all really fortunate to have her as your chief,” Marshall told the crowd moments after the new chief was installed into office. Marshall said her foster daughter has been the level-headed type ever since she came into her life. “What amazed me was the sense and character of this young woman was beyond her years. “Wise beyond her years, reasonable.” Marshall said whenever there was an issue, even during the teen years, they sat down and discussed it and worked out agreements. “And she always kept her word.” Marshall was living in Langley at the time and was a single mom with two of her own daughters. When Miller joined her family, it was a good fit. Marshall was in university at the time and having her around helped as Marshall completed her education and started her career with the federal government. “I couldn’t have done that without Susan.” Marshall agreed her foster daughter had the qualities to be a born leader. “But with such gentleness and kindness and nothing aggressive or hostile – really cuts to the chase. “I’m just so proud that she’s in my life and will always be part of my life.”

historic horror at Ghost Ridge by Neil Corbet t staff reporter
Y
ou’re walking down a dimly lit lane. A couple of young harlots are asking you how you’re doing in their best Cockney accents. You round a corner to see a third working girl. As she calls to you, a man in black appears from behind her, knife to her throat, flashes a killer smile, and pulls her through a curtain. The Jack the Ripper scene was just one of the 14 creepy sets in the Timeline of Terror at Ghost Ridge. Witches burned at the stake, inquisitors stretched heretics on the rack and Roman gladiators appeared out of the darkness to menace passersby in a visit to some of the more horrifying scenes from human history. Wednesday was the last night of the haunting, which began on Oct. 25. The reviews from some of the 2,800 people who went though the haunted house at the Albion fairgrounds over the past five days were consistently “better than last year.” “We try and go all out every year,” said Sean Franklin, who is on the organizing committee. He has been there through the Trail of Blood, Seven Deadly Sins, Phobias and Fears and a host of other themes for Ghost Ridge, and the goal each year is to make it the best ever. Carla Christensen auditioned and placed the 48 actors for the sets, and said she was impressed with how the teens dedicate themselves to scaring the bejeepers out of

creepy sets and the screaming kids combine for a chilling effect. And it scares people. Christensen has seen scared husbands push their wives in front of them. Teenage girls sound off like horror movie scream queens. “It’s those screams that keep the actors motivated,” said Sean. Organizer Lorraine Bates was proud of the production. “It was by far the best we’ve done,” she said. Bates acknowledged the numbers were down slightly, from 3,000 visitors last year, but added that Ghost Ridge has to compete with Vancouver Canucks games, baseball’s World Series and a growing number of other haunted houses. Still, each of the four volunteer groups that helped put on Ghost Ridge earned $3,800. “What does my heart good is when the volunteers sit down afterward, and they’re so tired, but they start talking about what we’ll do next year,” said Bates. “That’s what spells success.”

visitors. “It’s a lot of work for the actors, because you’ve got to be on all night long,” she said. She gives them a crash course in acting.

Pitt council to discuss giving up raise Seven per cent increase this year by Mo ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
A request to suspend a Pitt Meadows bylaw that have council a seven per cent pay raise this year was denied Tuesday, with members deciding instead to discuss the increase next month. Coun. Janice Elkerton failed to get support for a motion Tuesday, calling for the city to disregard the council indemnity bylaw and maintain council salaries at 2012 levels. “Since we instructed staff to produce a zero per cent budget, I felt we should lead by example and take a zero increase in our indemnity,” said Elkerton. “This is public service remuneration – not a salary. “ As per the Council Indemnity Bylaw, created by a committee of residents in 2008, council salaries are reviewed on Jan. 1 each year. The mayor’s salary is then adjusted to 75 per cent of the published median salary of all Metro Vancouver mayors for the preceding year, while councillors make 37.5 per cent of the mayor’s salary. The pay increases were not determined by council, but recommended by an independent committee, which drafted the bylaw. Pitt Meadows council salaries have risen 50 per cent over six years. In 2013, the mayor will earn $70,864, compared to $47,160 in 2008. Councillors are set to make $26,574, compared to $17,544 in 2008.
For the record A story in the Oct. 25 issue of The News incorrectly stated that Maple Ridge Coun. Corisa Bell asked to tweet or post on Facebook a district announcement during a council meeting. Bell only asked to have district staff issue a notice on its website or via press release. However, staff are reviewing the district’s communications policy over the next few months and Bell wants council to discuss allowing councillors to tweet or post to Facebook during meetings.
Elkerton’s council colleagues agreed, this year’s pay increase was too much. But none supported her motion. They voted to discuss the pay increase in December, during business planning sessions to determine the 2014 budget. City chief administrative officer Kim Grout told council there were legal issues at play. The city’s lawyer advised council that suspending the bylaw was not appropriate “as it would create legal uncertainty as to financial rights and obligations from an accounting/ audit perspective”. Elkerton didn’t support referring the pay increase to business planning because she believes it will be too late for council to return the money by then. “Business planning is a month away. If you send it off to referral, it’s going to death’s door.” Elkerton’s motion was characterized as “political grandstanding” by her council colleague Gwen O’Connell, who said she was “disgust-
ed” by it. “I personally will never apologize for what I get paid,” added O’Connell. “I work pretty darn hard for the city.” Coun. Tracy Miyashita stressed that council was not giving itself a raise. “I want to be very clear to the public because this is going to be spun ... It’s the bylaw taking effect.
“I personally will never apologize for what I get paid.” Coun. Gwen O’Connell
“Maybe the bylaw needs reviewing and we need to have a really good discussion of that,” she said. Council intends to review the bylaw next year and form another independent committee in 2014 to determine salaries, a move recommended by Coun. Doug Bing and
Coun. Dave Murray. “I don’t think council should throw out the bylaw,” Bing said. Mayor Deb Walters believed that Elkerton’s motion was directed at her. “I do work full-time on this job. I really do believe this was directed at me, personally, and I don’t appreciate that,” she said at the meeting. Pitt Meadows isn’t the only city uncomfortable with rising salaries for its politicians. Maple Ridge council won’t be getting any increases this term after their salaries became an issue during the 2011 civic election. Coun. Bruce Bell intends to ask his colleagues to donate a percentage of this year’s seven per cent increase back to the city for its centennial celebrations in 2014. “We could donate the equivalent of four or 4.5 per cent so our raise would be around 2.5 per cent, similar to the Consumer Price Index,” Bell explained. “That way everybody can choose to do that or not.”

The News/opinion News Views
Scaling back Pitt Meadows city staff presented a preliminary budget on Tuesday that shows what would have to be cut from it if municipal taxes were not raised. Among the featured items: firefighter training, road maintenance and city celebrations. City finance director Mark Roberts would not endorse a zero tax increase, and suggests one of 3.3 per cent is needed just to maintain the current standard of services. Even then, reductions would have to be made, such as getting rid of staff recognition, volunteer gifts, and the firefighters awards dinner. Coun. Tracy Miyashita seemed genuinely upset about the proposed cutbacks, claiming that they aren’t fair and that she wouldn’t want to work for the city if the proposed budget was passed. Firstly, Coun. Miyashita should put away her Kleenex box, stop being indignant and understand that tough decisions, such as budget cuts, are a standard part of the political territory, if she and others didn’t already know that. We couldn’t stand to see another local politician cry over a budget. Secondly, if the city was really in rough financial shape, rather than just going through an exercise to appease those who signed a petition, couldn’t firefighters go without an awards dinner? They know how appreciated they are, as do volunteers. Such folks aren’t motivated by pats on the back, or gifts. Some councillors suggested there are other areas that could be scaled back. Coun. Janis Elkerton even made a motion that council bypass its seven-per-cent wage increase this year. But that was defeated. Elkerton was correct in that council pay is public service remuneration – not a salary. But that is a conversation for another day. For now, council and staff will continue to discuss how the pare down the municipal budget. We’re not suggesting a zero tax increase is a necessary outcome, but more can be done, and enough local residents feel that way. All we ask is for our municipal politicians and staff to be straight with taxpayers, be sincere, and stop acting like the world is coming to an end. – The News

Million-dollar bike path to nowhere C
ycling is quickly becoming more popular with many local residents as a means of commuting between home and the workplace, but it remains questionable in terms of safety, practicality and costs in the downtown area Sidewinder of Maple Ridge. Sandy Macdougall The same safety issues plague even casual cyclists in the downtown area. There is a quiet undercurrent of opposition to measures aimed at expanding cycling opportunities due to the actions of overzealous cyclists who adopt an air of entitlement and thrust their demands on local and regional government bodies. Basically, Maple Ridge is a linear community, with most of our commuting routes running east and west, which means the majority of commuters must use Dewdney Trunk Road, Abernethy Way/128th Avenue, Lougheed Highway, or the Haney Bypass. There are no existing safe cycling routes for commuters who must pass through the downtown area. From Telosky Stadium to 222nd Street, cyclists must share sidewalks with pedestrians, electric scooters and occasional sandwich board sign. This has resulted in cyclists using the bypass or other routes to get around the
Q
uestion of the week:
downtown bottleneck. To make matters worse, discussions are underway to allow greater use of downtown sidewalks by restaurants and other commercial ventures. Won’t that just be ducky, commuting cyclists sharing the same space with tables and chairs, produce stands, scooters, pedestrians, moronic speeding cyclists and whatever other impediments that will be strewn along the sidewalks. In the past few years, huge sums of money have been spent on the Lougheed Highway between 228th Street and 222nd streets, but none of that money has improved safety for cyclists, who are still encouraged to use sidewalks in the so-called improved area. Neither did the improvement project do much for vehicle safety, with traffic lanes remaining dangerously narrow in the 50-kilometers-per-hour zone. And, if that wasn’t enough, several parking spaces were eliminated in the key section between 223rd Street and Haney Boulevard, along the Lougheed Hwy. However, municipal council, recognizing the design errors in the already too busy downtown area, approved the expenditure of about a million dollars on a bike path to nowhere on the north side of the Lougheed Hwy., from 216th to Laity streets. This stretch of the highway already had an existing asphalt sidewalk, which had been successfully shared by cyclists, pedestrians and scooter operators for

many years. If the million-dollar project had been Phase 1 of a larger overall project, it would be understandable. But it is a stand-alone project. Although it will have nice street lights and landscaping, it remains an asphalt path only slightly wider than the sidewalk it replaced. And, of course, many of the highway improvements are funded through levies on motor vehicle use, none of which is paid by cyclists. There have been suggestions that a license fee be imposed on cyclists to help generate funds for improved safe cycling routes. It sounds simple, but it would be no more practical than the existing regulation, which requires the use of helmets by cyclists, a law which is almost totally ignored by police and bylaw officers, who are responsible for its enforcement. There are individuals and at least one organization working with municipal officials to promote safe cycling through better planning of cycling routes. Let’s hope it doesn’t lead to anymore million dollar cycling paths to nowhere. Let’s also hope it leads to an improved attitude with cyclists who insist on riding two or three abreast on busy roads. If you want the same privileges as motorists, obey the same rules and pay your fair share of the cost of the roads you share with motorists. Sandy Macdougall is a retired journalist and former district councillor.
This week’s question: Was the new bike path along Lougheed Highway a good use of government funds?

The News/letters Impressed with advice about active aging Editor, The News: I recently attended the Active Aging Symposiums at the Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge Seniors’ centres. They were chalk full of information on health , recreation and financial retirement advice. I would like to express my gratitude to all the people who worked to make these events happen. I was especially impressed by the way Maple Ridge Leisure Centre
staff Tony Cotroneo and Russ Brummer worked alongside the staff and volunteers of the Westbrooke Ridge Meadows Seniors Society to make this a special day for our seniors happen. Many local businesses stepped up and graciously donated prizes. All of this was done in such a way to make one proud to be a member of this community. Alvina Tyler
online comments ‘Great minds’ • Ron Jacobs · BCIT School of Business: Re: Caught in the crossfire (mapleridgenews.com). “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” – Eleanor Roosevelt • Marnie Scott Hollar: Re: Caught in the crossfire (mapleridgenews.com). Exactly how is the hotel at fault? Was it their responsibility to protect her from the possibility of danger to her as a result of associating herself with known gangs? I think it is great that she is surpassing all the odds and expectations of her recovery. Some people just lay down and die on the inside when they lose the loss of their legs. She sounds very inspirational in the sense of her positive attitude. • John Matthew Frostad · BCIT: Re: Caught in the crossfire (mapleridgenews.com). Good for you people! Speaking in Leah’s defence against the negative ones. Everyone should ask themselves whether they have ever been somewhere they shouldn’t have been. I’m guessing all of us. However, to be physically disabled for the rest of lives is not the price Leah nor anyone else should have to pay for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. • Fiona J. McLean-Burgess: Re: Caught in the crossfire (mapleridgenews.com). Leah, you are an inspiration. Keep on believing and fighting for your dream and goals. •Scott McKenzie · Port Alberni: Re: Caught in the crossfire (mapleridgenews.com). This is a good story, but it didn’t have to be a good story because she didn’t have to be hanging out with gang members.

‘Opening new markets in Europe’ Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge cheesemaker annoyed by trade deal (The News, Oct. 18). Readers of your recent article about possible impacts on local cheesemakers from the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement might have missed the point that CETA is overwhelmingly pos- Kamp itive for Canada. In fact, it is Canada’s most ambitious trade initiative ever. This agreement will open new opportunities to businesses (including cheesemakers) and will create new jobs for Canadians. It is estimated that Canada’s income will expand by approximately $12 billion annually and increase bilateral trade by 20 percent. This is the equivalent of creating 80,000 new jobs or increasing the average Canadian household’s annual income by $1,000. CETA will eliminate tariffs on our key exports like metal and minerals, for-
est products, agriculture and agri-food, as well as our fish and seafood. So here in B.C., many sectors stand to benefit significantly from preferred access to the EU market. The EU is this province’s fourth-largest export destination and trading partner. For example, Canadian dairy products currently face a massive tariff of more than 200 per cent to enter the EU
market. Under CETA, Canada has gained unlimited full access to the EU market, the largest and most lucrative market in the world, and will now be able to export cheese to Europe tariff-free. By comparison, the EU’s access into the Canadian market under CETA is very limited. In fact, it is estimated to be just eight per cent. This means that Canada’s world-class dairy products will now have vast new export opportunities in the EU market and we encourage producers to take advantage of this new access.
When Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed CETA in Brussels, it was a great day for Canada. Randy Kamp, MP Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission
Let’s compete Editor, The News: Re: Maple Ridge cheesemaker annoyed by trade deal (The News, Oct. 18). These are the same subsidized folks who are protected by marketing boards and linger amongst their quota buddies, ensuring they can carry out their protected schemes at the expense of the homeowner who is trying to make ends meet. But wait a minute, these are the same folks I remember seeing at Costco and Walmart, buying cheap imported goods instead of supporting local and domestic suppliers. So, let’s even the playing field and compete like all others who are forced to do. Ron Smith Maple Ridge
Answering ‘ultra-right-wing’ rhetoric Editor, The News: Re: Problems in the world bigger than pot and breasts (The News, Oct. 23). True to form, Mrs. Cherryl Katnich castigates a women for standing up for women’s rights and equality, and yet another for trying to keep Canada from overtaking America as the country with the most of its citizens
in prison per capita in the whole world. It seems the prison industry is the CONservatives’ only real growth industry, right up there with the tar sands. The Cons disregard that 68 per cent of the citizens of BC want pot legalized, and 52 per cent of Canadians want the same. Well, since when have
CONservatives, or Harper, or Katnich for that matter, ever cared what the majority of Canadians want. I find it ironic that Katnich is a slavish champion of the very corporate and government whores that are the cause of every major problem she mentioned – world poverty, genocide, wars, starvation and every other
problem the world is faced with at this dangerous time in history. Katnich is living proof that cognitive dissonance is alive and well in Canada and at least someone thinks there is an audience for ultra-right -wing tea-bagger rhetoric in Canada. Wayne Clark Maple Ridge
A generation too squeezed for time to volunteer Editor, The News: Re: Service to others, fading away (The News, Oct. 23). I am offended by the suggestion that volunteering is on the decline because younger generations’ cellphones and computers are draining away time. I would argue that our service is on the rise, but is forced to take a much different form. We are called the Squeeze Generation, because we are quite literally squeezed of every dollar and minute we have.
DISNEY DRESSUP!
I would love to spend a day fundraising for worthy causes, but I have to help my aging parents who are suffering from heart disease and physical disabilities. I have to help my husband’s parents who are fighting cancer and early onset dementia. We are too busy helping the aging volunteers because there is no other help for them. I am a mother of two younger children, and would love to volunteer to this community in my spare time. But,
I have to make sure my kids are healthy first. I would volunteer, but because our government has put value in making money, and is not making it affordable for young families to live, my husband and I are forced to work grueling hours. I do not mean to sound unappreciative. Of course, a huge applause goes out to those who are retired with children who have grown up and are now living independently and have time to spare. Of course, I appreciate the
technology you have provided to hospitals. Our parents need it. However, it is not my generation’s fault that we are not raising money. Perhaps the fault lies in a government that is not willing to provide adequate funding to our health care. My service goes to my family first and my community second. I hope that you see that the Squeeze Generation has nothing left to give. K. L. Beeby Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge-Mission MLA Marc Dalton spent $17,899 on travel and expenses, while newcomer MLA Doug Bing (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows) spent only $8,185, according to figures released this week by the B.C. legislature. The expenses were incurred by the Liberal Dalton MLAs as they represented the people of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows from April 1 to Sept. 30. Included in the numbers are the accommodation allowances politicians receive for staying in Victoria. Dalton received $6,000 and Bing received $3,432. The tallies also include the daily bonuses or per diems that MLAs receive Bing while they’re in Victoria to sit in the legislature. Each MLA receives $61 a day for that, without any receipts required. Both MLAs received about $900 in that category. Other categories that make up the total travel expenses paid to MLAs
include an allowance for in-constituency travel as well as general travel. Bing’s totals are less than Dalton’s because Bing was elected for the first time during the May 2013 provincial election. Port Coquitlam NDP Mike Farnworth’s expenses were $13,712. The information has been made public since 2007 when the Members Remuneration and Pensions Act came into effect. Since the act became law, information on MLA salaries have been public on the legislative website. In October 2013, additional information on Members’ remuneration has been posted to fulfill a commitment made by the all-party Legislative Assembly Management Committee to public disclosure. As for wages earned, Bing received $39,069 for five months’ work, while Dalton, an incumbent MLA, earned $57,781 for the sixmonth period. MLAs earn $101,859 in base salary. • See all MLA salaries and expenses @ http://www.leg.bc.ca/mla/remuneration/indemnities_and_allowances. htm#basiccompensation

Get flu shot at clinic There will be a flu vaccination clinic at London Drugs in Maple Ridge on Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends the flu shot for everyone over the age of
six months since some of the most serious flu viruses can even pose a risk to young, healthy people. Plus, the virus could spread to children or the elderly, who can have a much tougher time re-
covering. Besides a cough and congestion, the flu also includes body aches and fever. Along with these added symptoms, the flu can also carry more serious implications: the seasonal flu hospitalizes 20,000 people in Canada each year, and it kills between
2,000 and 8,000 people. A flu shot cannot give you the flu since injectable vaccines do not contain any live virus. Flu viruses are constantly changing, so each year the flu shot is updated to provide protection against the most active virus expected in the coming flu season.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Time Change Reduces Visibility Be Safe. Be Seen. Tips for Drivers and Pedestrians On October 21, 22 and 23, 2013 a team including ICBC, the RCMP, the Maple Ridge Fire Department, volunteers from the RCMP Auxiliary, Citizens On Patrol, the Fire Youth Academy and RCMP Youth Program spread throughout the town centre distributing reflectors and an information sheets with tips for pedestrians and drivers on how to be safe and be seen this fall and winter.
• Focus your full attention on what’s happening around you. Remove your headphones and never talk, text or use electronic devices in an intersection or while crossing. • Wear reflective clothing or use reflective gear to make it easier for drivers to see you. This is especially important in wet weather and dark conditions when drivers may not be able to see you. Tips for drivers • Always be on the lookout for pedestrians - especially in dark, wet weather when visibility is limited, at

It’s simple; the best fashion for winter is bright reflective clothing. Reflectors, arm bands, safety vests and anything that stands out in the dark is what you should be wearing when you are walking, jogging or on your bike. Please be safe and be seen this winter!
INFORMED: November 11 is Remembrance Day. Gathering to Honour the Heroes Past, Present and Future. Memorial Peace Park’s name derives from its role as the home for the numerous memorials to the men and women who have served our nation’s armed forces both in war and in peace. The centrepiece of the park is the Cenotaph that was originally located near the Maple Ridge Cemetery. As part of the coronation celebration for Queen Elizabeth II, the Cenotaph was moved downtown almost 60 years ago. It was moved one more time to its current location in Memorial Peace Park as part of the major town centre redesign that occurred over a decade ago. Today, volunteers from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 oversee the annual Remembrance Day event that begins with a march from the Legion at 224 Street and Brown Avenue south to Haney Place. In 2011, this section of road was dedicated as ‘Veterans Way’, and signage denotes this special relationship. The Peace Tree marks the southern boundary of Veterans Way. This event is attended by thousands of local residents and their children. The march will include veterans of Canada’s Army, Navy and Air Force, as well as members of the Ridge Meadows RCMP, Maple Ridge Fire Department, Corrections Service, plus Cadets, Scouts, Cubs and organizations, such as St. Johns Ambulance. There will be Road Closures during this event from 10:00 am to Noon as 224 Street will be closed from Brown Avenue to 119

Thomas Haney students ‘spreading the love’ ACCIDENTS HAPPEN!

T
homas Haney secondary viceprincipal Kristi Blakeway wanted to show her leadership students how they can have a positive effect in the community, but even she was surprised how quickly their message spread. The students in her grades 11/12 class lined Lougheed Highway in downtown Maple Ridge in the morning Wednesday, holding up handmade poster signs with positive messages, such as “Spread the love” and “Honk if you love someone” – waving, hollering and smiling in attempts to get reactions from passing motorists. And many did honk. Soon Blakeway got a call from the school office, saying it was inundated with inquiries and messages in support of the students’ campaign. It’s called “Honk if you love someone” and was initiated in Washington, D.C., by a young man named Massoud Adibpour. He just wanted to cheer up Monday morn-

In addition to the porn, the school board alleged Marion crossed the professional boundary with his students by involving himself in personal affairs and gossiping with them. He also discussed his private life with students, drove students in his car without the proper authorization, performed an inappropriate Marilyn Monroe dance routine for students, touched them in a friendly, playful manner and shared information with students about being under investigation by the school’s administration. According to the board ruling, Marion made hurtful and embarrassing comments to a group of students in response to a video that they had made as a school assignment. The investigator also found Marion had filmed a group of female students without their knowledge. Marion claimed he
did not realize the camera was on. He was put on medical leave in April 2011 after a colleague smelled alcohol on his breath. Marion eventually admitted he had a drinking problem and entered a residential treatment program in June 2011. He continues to attend Alcoholic Anonymous. Marion has worked in School District 42 since Sept. 2000 and now works as a English and French teacher at Pitt Meadows secondary. To continue working, the regulation branch has asked Marion to provide a report from a medical addiction specialist that shows he continues to abstain from alcohol and is fit to teach. He must also follow a treatment plan set out by the specialist and provide two other reports to the Commissioner for Teacher Regulation at the six- and twelve-month marks. Marion has also agreed to not
speak or write about the agreement he has reached with the teacher’s regulation board or the allegations outlined in the board ruling. The Maple Ridge Teachers’ Association was unable to comment about Marion’s conduct. “From our perspective, the issue has been dealt with,” said association president George Serra. The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district was also unable to comment because Marion’s discipline is a personnel matter and therefore covered by privacy legislation. “What I can tell you is that we take our responsibility to our students very seriously, and that we take every step and every precaution to quickly identify and address any potential issues,” said communications manager Irena Pochop. • To read the full regulation board ruling, visit mapleridgenews.com.

Beavers busy in Katzie Slough staff reporter
The City of Pitt Meadows has mmoved to remove several beavers who dammed a section of the Katzie Slough before they cause a flood. There could be four or more beavers in the channel, chewing trees along the banks and
piling logs in the water to construct . “I really don’t know how many are out there,” said city operations superintendent Randy Evans. City staff usually discourage the beavers from building by tearing down their dams ,but this particular colony has been persistent
and refuses to move on. “They build their dams, we tear it down. They build their dams, we tear it down,” says Evans. “They are bad for us in Pitt Meadow because of our shallow drainage system, because everything is so flat. Every time they build a dam, it has huge impacts on

our drainage system because it just backs everything up.” With a forecast of heavy rain and leaf debris clogging the system, Evans wants the beaver dams removed before they cause serious flooding. A licensed trapper has been called in to trap the semi-aquatic
rodents. “Discouragement is our first line of defence,” says Evans. “We hope they get tired of being here and go to Maple Ridge.” The city has been criticized for using trappers to rid the drainage system of beavers. Animal Welfare In-
stitute says a preferred option and a better long-term solution for dealing with beaver and human conflicts is to work with existing beaver in the habitat. Beaver pipes can be installed in dams to control flooding, while road flooding can be controlled with Beaver
Bafflers. There are several humane alternatives to protecting trees from beavers, including surrounding trees with cylindrical cages, coating them with a sand/paint mixture, spraying them with repellents and/or placing low fences around them.

A word from the
The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district will fund an additional 100 hours of wages for special education assistants each week, after calculating higher-than-expected enrolment this school year. The total school-age enrolment in the district was estimated at 13,548 students, but actually came in at 13,669.5 students, for a difference of 121.5. Operating funds from the provincial education ministry are allotted on a per-pupil basis, and the unexpected student enrolment means the board should receive an estimated $800,000 more than budgeted. “The actual amount will be known in December, when the ministry announces the interim operating grants for school districts,” noted a report to the board from secretary treasurer Flavia Coughlan. “The budget impact of these changes will be reflected in the amended budget.” Earlier this year, the board had to cut $5.66 million from its $130 million budget for the present school year. That resulted in the loss of 35 positions across the district.

“I find it very depressing. We Iive in a very great community. For us to make the very drastic cuts that were recommended ... I find it unpalatable.” After hearing what was could potentially be slashed, Coun. Miyashita told the room she wouldn’t want to work for the city. “I apologize to staff. I feel if we support this proposed budget, we have really let you down as leaders and not created a good place to work,” she added. “Not recognizing our staff, cutting our fire department, not maintaining our roads, I’m sorry, I can’t do that.” Other councillors believed there are other ar-

“I think Pitt Meadows has a long history of carrying a very lean organization,” said chief administrative officer Kim Grout. The city has 64 full-time employees. “We are not large. I would argue that staff here are delivering the same service, if not better, than what you get with a larger organization. We are exactly 64 people. It’s a big deal to try to cut back.” Coun. Doug Bing characterized the overall theme of cutting as “a real downer,” especially on the eve of the city’s 100th anniversary celebrations.

eas that could be pared back. Coun. Janice Elkerton told staff she was looking forward to business planning, when more details would be presented. “It doesn’t mean I support everything [staff] picked out, either,” she said, adding that slashing volunteer appreciation and the fire department were cuts she did not favour. Coun. Dave Murray wondered if the city could save by taking a closer look at the services it contracts out. “It’s all kind of little things like that offer savings.” Tom Murray, a senior who spearheaded the petition calling for a zero tax increase, still believes the city can achieve it without affecting essential services. He attended Tuesday’s workshop and is still “digesting” the numbers. “We have just started the process and I am looking forward to the upcoming round of budget meetings,” said Murray, who continues to collect signatures for a second petition pushing council for no tax increase in 2014. “I know that other cities in B.C. have achieved a zero tax increase with little or no perceived decrease in services and I am convinced if we col-
lectively focus on that goal, we will find creative ways to reach it.” Mayor Deb Walters isn’t as optimistic. She still believes a zero tax increase is unrealistic. It’s pretty sobering when you see the numbers, said Walters. “All the services we get for our dollar, it’s a pretty darn good deal. If you start taking away things, people aren’t going to be so happy. I never get anyone coming to me and saying can you take away things. Some of our biggest opponents on taxes are people who have asked for things and yet they still want zero taxes. I think that’s very frustrating.” • To view Tuesday’s presentation to council, visit mapleridgenews.com.

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling.
ZACK SPENCER
Rounding up and riding the RAM range 2014 RAM Roundup The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger
is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

driveway
By Keith Morgan
I
keep hearing TV F1 commentary teams talking about the perfect race in relation to the now four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. As I watched the German driver for Infiniti-Red Bull race team take the checkered flag in India on Sunday, the repeated reference to his perfect race reminded me of another open-wheel racer. Back in the early 1990s, Vancouver Indy racer Ross Bentley strived for what he called the “perfect drive,” not on the track, but on the roads of B.C. Ross, now coaching race driv-
ers and street drivers in Washington, U.S., always told me that he found the racetrack a safer place to drive. On the track, he pretty much knew what other drivers were going to do, whereas drivers on the street were unpredictable. I was reminded of that the other morning when a young driver whizzed by me in the curb lane, then cut in front and crossed two more lanes to turn left at an intersection just a block ahead. Of course, he didn’t signal when he got there, either. Ross devised a little game that he played every day while traveling to and from work across town. The perfect drive concept was designed to help drivers concentrate, and I think it would a great game for us all to play some 20 years on from when he first outlined the idea to me. “The idea is to drive smoothly at a constant speed with min-
imal braking,” explains Ross, who tells me he still tries to achieve the perfect drive daily. “To do so, you must anticipate light changes and ease off when you approach a stale green. You have to slow in such a way that if your passengers had their eyes closed they wouldn’t be aware of the exact point you stopped.” Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key.

Others do cut into the space, but they disappear as fast as they arrive. And even if you ease off to open it up the gap again, Ross figured if even

Drives-u-crazy: non-signalers
I
want to scream when I am stuck behind a car that fails to signal an intent to turn left until the traffic light turns green. It has to be one of the most inconsiderate acts, especially in congested areas. It’s also an offence, which carries a $121 fine and two-point penalty. Considerate drivers would realize their error and drive on. But I’m not sure they exist. What drives-u-crazy?

Keith Morgan: Shooting for the perfect drive
10 cars did that to you and stayed during the average trip. you might lose a minute in travel time. “The perfect drive can be ruined by others, so I try to figure out what crazy things they might do and adjust accordingly. If I have to brake jerkily in anticipation of the other driver’s move, I don’t deduct any points.” However, if you hold up traffic or disrupt the flow, then you deduct points. If you can let somebody in smoothly or provide an opportunity for somebody else to turn, then you’re assisting the flow, so he figured that was worth a few bonus points.” “The perfect drive can be different for everybody and you can work out your own scoring technique. I keep it simple and figure if I drop four points, then that was nowhere near the perfect drive. I love his final comment: “Oh, and if you drop a point halfway through, you don’t give up and drive the rest of the way like a jerk.” Give it a try, it’s fun.

Payton & Buckle store owner, John Laanstra, proudly announces the grand opening of his third store location in Pitt Meadows. JOHN VAN PUTTEN/ ABBOTSFORD NEWS
“If a customer asks a question, it’s OK to say ‘I don’t know,’ as long as you say ‘but I’ll find out for you’ after that.” Of course, his staff usually does know the answer because most of them have years of experience in the shoe industry.
Payton & Buckle has one of the biggest selections of Clarks shoes in B.C. and we now have a selection of Clarks kids’ shoes. “Clarks is our key brand, we have a huge selection to choose from.” Other brands include Josef Seibel, Ecco, Pikolinos, Rieker, Taxi and Miz Mooz. If you are looking for quality shoes, purses and great service, then stop by the new Payton & Buckle in Pitt Meadows. John and his staff will be thrilled to help you find the right fit for any need.

Payton & Buckle may be new to Pitt Meadows, but the fine footwear store has more than 75 years of experience serving the people of the Fraser Valley. Payton & Buckle is a locally owned and operated shoe store that got its start in Chilliwack back in the 1940s. The shop has thrived in the downtown core and opened its second store in Abbotsford, and now opened a third store here in Pitt Meadows. ‘It’s really gone well so far. We have hardly advertised at all, but have been really busy,” said owner John Laanstra. No stranger to the shoe industry, Laanstra started with the Chilliwack company 32 years ago as a salesman. Nine years later he purchased a portion of the business. After a great working relationship with his business partner, Erwin Huebert, Laanstra decided to buy the entire company in 2007. “That was always the plan, for me to eventually become the successor.” “There was a niche there that needed to be filled. “A lot of our customers were coming from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to buy shoes, but we knew we were losing alot of customers to the Langley and Vancouver area.” Now that his doors are open, that theory is being proved correct. “We are really happy with the amount of traffic we are getting in the new location.” This isn’t the first time the valley-based company has expanded. Back in the 1950s, Payton & Buckle opened a shop in Mission as well. While that shop is no longer there, serving the valley is still the shoe store’s prime concern. The new Pitt Meadows store is located in Meadowtown Centre on Lougheed Highway and is easily visible from the road. “We have a lot of people who come in and say they saw the sign,” adds Laanstra. At Payton & Buckle, they specialize in quality shoes and have a variety of widths to suit every foot. “We carry all the different widths, from narrow to wide so you can find a shoe that’s comfortable.” And because they are locally owned, they understand the importance of keeping their customers happy. “We still sit down with our customers.” Laanstra stresses to his staff the importance of customer service because he knows people appreciate it when you do everything you can to help them.

Classic West Coast architecture at Amacon’s RedBrick By Kerry Vital
Outdoor enthusiasts will find a lot to love at Amacon’s RedBrick, located in the growing community of Edmonds in South Burnaby. The Urban Trail is located right outside your door, and there’s a park across the street and others within easy walking distance.
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Among the features included in the one-, two- and threebedroom homes is engineered hardwood flooring in the entry, kitchen, living and dining rooms. You’ll find polished stone countertops and a full-height stone backsplash in the kitchen, complemented by stainless-steel appliances and laminate flatpanel kitchen cabinetry with a modern square-edge profile. The bathrooms are soothing and luxurious, with polished stone slab countertops, oversized polished porcelain tiles and their own laminate cabinetry. The exterior is as beautiful as the interiors, with West Coast architecture that lives up to the
development’s name, expansive windows and balconies, and tons of green space. Residents will have access to an exercise facility, TV lounges and meeting rooms, a party kitchen with a dining area, a games room and a crafts room. There’s also a children’s play area and a barbecue terrace, if you’re in the mood for some outdoor entertaining. You’ll find public art by artists Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew right on-site, adding to the beauty of the development. RedBrick is perfectly situated for those who want to leave their cars behind. Commuting to downtown Vancouver will be simple, as the Edmonds SkyTrain station is nearby. You’ll find schools right across the street, as well as shopping and dining opportunities close by. Homes at RedBrick start at $239,900. For more information, check out www.liveatredbrick.com, call 604-527-7955 or visit the presentation centre at 7008 14th Avenue, Burnaby, open daily except Fridays between noon and 5 p.m.

An eclectic mix of people call Larco Investments’ Morgan Crossing home. Many of them have purchased because of the village lifestyle, with its array of shops, restaurants and amenities right outside your front door.
Finding your perfect home at Morgan Crossing By Kerry Vital
Imagine being able to meet friends for coffee, walk out your door and go grocery shopping or browse the latest fashions, or get in a good workout, all in one spot. You don’t need to imagine that with Larco Investments’ Morgan Crossing, located in the heart of South Surrey. It’s all right there. “There’s just about everything anybody needs here,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies.
VOTE AND
WIN!
$500 gift card! GRAND PRIZE

to transform your space with natural gas...
That’s not an exaggeration. The village at Morgan Crossing has shopping, restaurants, community events and amenities right outside your door, whether you’re looking for groceries at Thrifty Foods, a workout at Steve Nash Sports Club or dinner at the brand-new, just-opened Sammy J’s Grill & Bar or one of the other restaurants. “We also have two new restaurants coming soon,” says Woolley. “They’ll be great additions to the area.” One of those two restaurants is MyShanti from well-known Vancouver chef Vikram Vij. The other is Famoso Neopolitan Pizzeria. The homes at Morgan Crossing have been selling extremely well, and Woolley notes that this is the last chance to get into the village. “People love the village,” he says. “It’s really connecting with people.” Indeed, there’s a wide range of people living in Morgan Crossing, including young first-
time buyers and older couples downsizing from their single-family home. “Everyone has their own reasons for wanting to live here,” Woolley says. “The homes are really well-designed.” With spacious floorplans and plenty of amazing features such as engineered flooring, gorgeous countertops and an open-plan layout, buyers will easily find things to love about their new home. Morgan Crossing regularly holds community events, including car shows, fashion shows and outdoor movie nights. Living a car-free lifestyle is a huge draw for buyers at Morgan Crossing. Being able to leave the car behind and accomplish all of your errands on foot not only saves you money on gas, but it also saves you time and keeps your stress levels down. You also may find yourself entertaining at home more because everything you need for the perfect
party is right at your fingertips. Even an impromptu gathering is easy when you can just run downstairs to get what you need from one of the shops. If you do choose to venture out of the village, you’ll find golf courses, schools and leisure and recreation activities close by. Remaining homes start at $269,900 including GST. For more information, visit www.morgancrossing.ca, call 604-582-1336 or visit the presentation centre at #31415850 26th Avenue, open daily except Friday between noon and 5 p.m.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we only have a few left!).

here’s something magical about a crackling fire on a cold winter’s eve. Hot beverage in hand, you listen to the snap and crackle of the burning wood, feel the heat radiating to warm you all over, and become mesmerized by the dancing flames. And all the while that fire is sending carbon particles up the chimney, which are clinging to the sides of your chimney en route to becoming a fire hazard. When put that way, the fire loses a bit of its luster. But Rick Spencer of Chim-Chiminey Sweep says a thorough and regular cleaning of your chimney will ensure trouble-free magic whenever needed. It’s this time of the year, naturally, that his crews are busiest, says Spencer, because everyone who uses a wood-burning or oil-burning fireplace or furnace needs the cleaning done before winter sets in. How often you need to clean the chimney is pretty straightforward, says Spencer. Use the following guide. • If you have a wood-burning fireplace, and you use it at least once a week through the winter, you need your chimney cleaned of soot and tar build-up once a year. If you use it as your main heat source every day, you should have it done twice a year. Having your chimney cleaned once a year reduces the risk of fire and smoke damage to your home.
Smoke could exit through the front of your fireplace or stove than up the chimney. • If you have an oil furnace, you need the chimney cleaned once a year, which should reduce the number of service calls because, Spencer says, many for oil furnaces are the result of a poorly maintained chimney. • If you have a wood pellet stove for heat, you probably won’t need the chimney cleaned more than once a year – unless your stove isn’t burning efficiently, in which case you need it cleaned and the stove serviced immediately.
• If you have a high-efficiency gas fireplace insert, you likely won’t need to clean the chimney at all unless it’s not working properly, says Spencer. But if you have one of those decorative log sets or a sandpan unit, you should clean the chimney every three to five years. If you don’t clean your chimney regularly, there are two main risks involved. The first is fire, because it is possible for the soot build up inside the chimney to catch on fire if allowed to become thick enough. The second risk is soot build-up acting as a drag on the upward air flow, which means the smoke could exit through the front of your fireplace or stove than up the chimney. This can cause nasty smoke damage to your home. Spencer says this second problem is more
common than a fire, and can potentially be more expensive in terms of actual damage. Another problem with not cleaning regularly is that heat from a fire can cause the soot and tar to become a glaze inside the chimney, which makes it much harder to clean, and can often lead to damaged liners needing to be replaced. Naturally, says Spencer, this will make the job much more expensive. It also doesn’t hurt to have the chimney sweep come by in the fall to make sure no birds or rodents have made a home in your chimney, as that can get pretty messy. Contrary to what some people believe, Spencer says, there is still lots of call for chimney sweep service because plenty of people use fireplaces of one kind or another.
“You are still allowed to have a wood-burning fireplace, contrary to what you may have heard,” says Spencer. “There are some very good, highefficiency, EPA-certified systems out there that do a terrific a job of providing heat, so people use them for heating their homes.” As an aside, he notes that Metro Vancouver currently offers homeowners a $250 rebate if they replace an old, non-EPA-certified stove or insert with a new unit that is certified. When all’s said and done, if you’re planning to light that fire this year, Spencer says it’s just good sense to make sure your chimney is safe to go for the winter.

Sara Haghighat Joo, a Coquitlam girl who fights out of the Ridge club, won her first bout against Amanda Galle of Ontario, and won a close contest by a 2-1 split decision. That moved her on to the finals on Friday night, where she found the reigning Canadian champion Mandy Bujold. Haghighat Joo fought well, but the speed and experience of Bu-
jold was too much for her, and the champ beat her by unanimous decision. Haghighat Joo was in her first appearance at the nationals, and was fighting on an injured foot, so the silver medal was considered a good result by the club. “The club and coaching team are very proud of our boxers, for their best efforts put forth,” said club spokesperson Carol Skanks. It was a unique national championship, because for the first time in three decades the male boxers were competing without headgear – it is no longer allowed in national or international competition. Female boxers kept them on.
The rationale is that headgear does little to prevent concussions, and that boxers will “take more risks” with headgear on. The International Olympic Committee is considering banning headgear for the 2016 Games. Maple Ridge’s Dylan Bishop, a former bronze medallist, took on Zsolti Daranyi in the 64 kg weight class. Bishop lost by technical knockout and was eliminated. Connor Rankin has been battling a serious injury to his right hand that he suffered in the Canadian Golden Gloves event, held in Cornwall, Ontario in July. Rankin continued to train for
the nationals, but was only able to punch with his left hand in training. His opponent in the 55kg division was Manitoban Julio Jr. Escoria, and Rankin lost by unanimous decision. Sasan Haghighat Joo, the brother of silver medallist Sara, fought Albertan Devon Retti in the 69 kg weight class, and despite a good effort lost a 2-1 split decision. It was a tough defeat, given that Sasan had beaten Retti in a bout earlier in the year. “Now we look forward to the National Team Selections box offs in November,” said Skanks. “Onwards and Upwards team.”

SRT Titans to wrap up first season

Tough tackling Black Headband is Jana Ellis of the West Coast Auto Group Lightning tackles a player from the Langley Cyclones during ladies first division soccer action in Pitt Meadows on Sunday afternoon. The teams tied a tight-checking game 1-1.
The SRT Titans get their last chance at a win in their first season of varsity football, on their home field tonight. Last Friday, the boys from Albion matched the visiting Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers drive for drive. For the longest time the game remained locked at a converted touchdown each. The Titan score came on a ramble by their star player Tyrel Ogloff. He was given a short field, when a failed Panther’s short kick off was corralled by Spence Clinton, who then scampered 24 yards. Midway through the third quarter Abby doubled the score 14-7. The home fans were disappointed when a flag was thrown negating a Titan touchdown in the fourth. Towards the end of the game the stubborn SRT defense held Collegiate with four goalline stands, but the Panthers still recorded their lone victory of the season. SRT Titan standouts in this emotional contest were six-foot-six receiver Liam Evanow, who pulling in five catches for 71 yards. Converted QB Ogloff had 72 rushing yards and a 35-yard kickoff return. The stellar defence was led by Ryley Loeppky’s eight tackles, Scott Murdoch’s six, and Brandon Ramsey’s five tackles and a fumble recovery. Tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. SRT’s inaugural season ends against G.W. Graham of Chilliwack, who have gone 1-5. • The Pitt Meadows Marauders beat G.W. Graham by a score of 36-0 in last week’s action. That improved Pitt’s record to 3-3, and they can finish the regular season with a win if they can beat Langley tonight at McLeod Park, at 7 p.m. These two teams would appear to be evenly matched, as Langley is also 3-3, but a look at the full standings shows the Marauders have allowed only 87 points against in six games, while the Langley squad has been lit up for 218 by the same teams.

Masaro takes curling lead Angelo Masaro’s pressure-laden final shot proved to be the winner as his rink curled to a narrow 7-6 victory over Earl King in Haney Master’s Curling action at Golden Ears Winter Club. With King’s rink leading 6-5 going into the final end, and with their rock counting, Masaro raised his rock to tap back one of Kings’ rocks to take two points for the win.
