Becker back to run for Pitt mayor Former councillor lost to Deb Walters in 2011 election by M on i sh a M ar ti n s staff reporter
A former Pitt Meadows councillor who lost his mayoralty bid to Deb Walters in the last election declared Tuesday that he will again challenge her for the job. “It’s about transparency and fis- Becker cal management at city hall,” John Becker said as he launched his campaign to unseat the city’s first female mayor. Becker received 1,202 votes in the 2011 civic election, 823 less than Walters’ 2,025. A lawyer, he spent the past three years studying for an executive MBA through Simon Fraser University.

Berry farmers predicting record crop Production expected to increase 25 per cent by Ne i l Co r b e t t staff reporter
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
In recent years, an increasing number of farms have been re-planted from other crops to blueberries.
The farmers of Pitt Meadows are anticipating a record-setting blueberry crop this summer. “It’s another bumper crop,” said Pitt Meadows farmer Gary Purewal. Purewal owns one of the largest blueberry operations in Pitt
Meadows, and farms 1,500 acres (600 hectares) across the Lower Mainland. It is a fast growing sector of the agri-economy. In recent years, an increasing number of farms have been re-planted from other crops to blueberries, and plants are maturing and becoming their most productive. Combine that with near-perfect growing conditions, and some industry analysts are predicting that this year’s harvest will blow away last year’s record 54.5 mil-

lion kilograms by as much as 25 per cent. Purewal said he has a field in Coquitlam that yielded 400,000 pounds in its first pick last year (180,000 kg), but this year he was astounded at its productivity – he just finished taking off over a million pounds (480,000 kg). Overall, he estimates his production on all fields is up by 25 per cent on the first pick. “The reason, I think, has been climate and pollination,” he said. “The weather was conducive for pollination.”
Debbie Etsell, the executive director of the B.C. Blueberry Council, said the perfect weather goes right back to a fall that was good for winterizing plants, a mild winter and spring, “and now we’ve got the sunshine.” Another factor, she explained, is that in the past eight years there has been a great deal of planting of new high bush blueberries in the Fraser Valley. It takes three years before they are productive, and 10 years before they reach maturity and full production. See Berries, p3

Thousands attend Pitt airshow Rain only deters two acts, air force does fly-by by S teph Trou g h ton contributor
Rain did not deter the approximately 8,000 spectators who attended the free aerobatic airshow held at the Pitt Meadows Regional Airport Sunday. Hosted by the North Fraser Airshow Society, the airshow, which had not been held since 2009, was part of the airport’s annual Airport Day, which included a beer and wine garden, educational activities and static displays of aircraft and cars. A dozen aerobatic acts, including local talent such as Super Dave in his MX2, graced the skies for the threehour event, which had local cadets and others volunteering on site. Kris Grasty, one of the airshow society’s directors and show organizers, says dark clouds and some precipitation did not affect the show a great deal. “We ended up losing two acts only,” said Grasty, adding that “the rain held off pretty much to the end of the show.” One of those two acts was Canada’s only professional female wing walker, Quebec resident Carol Pilon, who could not perform due to the rain. However, Gary Ward, an American air show pilot – now 73 but “as daring and exciting” as ever – performed aerial tricks. Attendees also witnessed a fly-by of Canadian Air Force CT-155s and 156s training fighter jets. On-the-ground displays included a Canadian military CH-146 Griffon utility helicopter that had been used in the Afghanistan War, a rare Mooney M10 Cadet plane that fea-

Pitt airport to try new direct route to Victoria Twice daily service on 14-passenger seaplane to start in September contributed
Pitt Meadows Regional Airport is going to offer a more direct route to Victoria. Harbour Air Group announced it will be expanding its service to include service to Victoria from Pitt Meadows twice daily seven days a week. Beginning Sept. 22, the new service will fly out of Pitt Meadows to Victoria in the morning, followed by a round trip midday and a final flight back to Pitt Meadows in the evening. Passengers will check in at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport and be escorted down to the river dock to board the DHC-3 Turbine Single Otter 14-passenger seaplane. Flight time is estimated at 35 minutes to Victoria. Meredith Moll, with Harbour Air Group, says her company recognized the need for a centrally located
commuter service to Victoria. “We liked the idea of a central location, something that was more convenient for our customers having to commute,” says Moll. Booking flights for the new service will begin online and over the phone later this month. Harbour Air will continue to offer flights to Victoria from its other locations, including Richmond and Vancouver. Harbour Air Group consists of Harbour Air Seaplanes, Westcoast Air, Whistler Air, Tantalus Air and Aeroflite International Services. In 2011, Whistler Air operated a commuter flight service out of Pitt Meadows called the Georgia Strait Connector. The flight took passengers from Pitt Meadows to downtown Vancouver, then Victoria. Moll says Harbour Air reviewed the strategy and found customers wanted a more direct Victoria flight. “We see our market as more direct time savings,” she said. Harbour Air purchased Whistler Air in 2012.

‘It’s good fruit’ Berries from front
So more plants are getting close to their potential. Perfect weather and more plants are making a dramatic difference. Having walked in fields and talked with producers, Etsell too expects this year’s crop will exceed last year’s record. “We’ve still got a lot of season to go,” she said, noting that cold and rain could still hurt yields. Once berries start to ripen on a field, Purewal and other producers have just four days to get them picked. “It’s a huge problem,” he said, but it’s a good problem to have. He will get the job done with mechanical pickers that shake the bushes, and the busy hands of almost 500 pickers he employs for the harvest season. Generally, blueberry plants produce two “good picks,” he explained, then a lighter crop for a third pick, which is termed “cleanup.” Getting the billions of blue orbs through processing plants and on to market will be another challenge, as farms across the Fraser Valley compete for facilities. Almost the entire high bush blueberry sector in B.C. is located in the Fraser Valley. It will be a busy time in the valley. B.C.’s blueberry growers employ more than 10,000 workers, to work in the fields, harvest, pack and process the fruit. There were $155 million worth of blueberries exported from B.C. last year, making it one of the province’s biggest agricultural exports. That’s a rise of 31 per cent in just two years. The main markets were found in the U.S., Japan, China and Australia. About half off the crop will be sold at farmers markets, supermarkets, and at farm gates. Purewal said he will be offering sales of fourpound bags of frozen berries direct from his plant on Hale Road this year. “It’s a phenomenal crop,” he said. “And it’s going to be good for the consumer – it’s good fruit.”

Fire calls
Maple Ridge firefighters spot fire A fire was quickly put out Saturday night in Maple Ridge after firefighters spotted a flicker of flames while driving past the property. Crews were on 127th Avenue to investigate another call when they noticed a garage on fire around 11:15 p.m. The blaze gutted the garage, but crews kept it from spreading to the rest of the house. Eight people were home when the fire started. “It was very lucky because the occupants were out back with friends and they wouldn’t have noticed the fire until it broke through a window,” said assistant fire chief Mark Smitton. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Although the fire did not spread to the house, Smitton reminded homeowners and tenants to check their smoke alarms monthly.
Horse, rider rescued A man was injured Friday while riding a horse on a trail in east Maple Ridge. The rider was on an annual camping trip in Allco Park, organized by the Haney Horsemen’s Association. He was heading up a trail to cross the Alouette River when his horse took a tumble and fell 15 metres down an embankment.
“It is fairly slippery in that section,” Smitton said. The man managed to crawl back onto the trail while firefighters cut back brush to reach the horse. The man was taken to hospital for a checkup and a vet was called to tend to the horse. “It was a good outcome considering how serious it could have been,” Smitton added. In particular, Smitton commended a young rider who was nearby when the horse took a tumble. The Grade 8 student from Garibaldi secondary rode back for help. “She was really good and gave us information on where the rider was and what the problem was,” he said. “When people are on a trail, background information on where exactly they are is very important.”
Mill fire contained A fire at a Maple Ridge sawmill was quickly contained Monday evening. The fire started in the conveyor system of the mill on Lougheed Highway, near 287th Street. Smitton said a driver spotted smoke and called 911 around 6:30 p.m. “No structures were in danger,” he added. Four fire trucks responded to the call and remained on scene
for about an hour.
Hot Summer Nights During evenings throughout July and August, members of the fire departments in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows will be at various locations throughout the communities ready to answer burning questions from the public. Locations for remaining July dates, beginning at 6:30 p.m., in Maple Ridge: • Thursday, July 24 – Tolmie Park – 20260 Lorne Avenue; • Thursday, July 31 – Docksteader Loop – Foreman Drive. Maple Ridge residents hoping for a Hot Summer Night in their neighborhood in August, can still make requests. The department warns extreme inclement weather or emergency calls could impact their attendance for any of the scheduled evenings.

‘Get back to basics’ Mayor from front
He also kept tabs on city hall. If elected, Becker promises to call for a spending freeze for 2015. He is alarmed that Pitt Meadows is currently on track to raise tax revenue by approximately 25 per cent over the next five years, according to its own five-year financial plan. “We can’t freeze taxes forever, but we need to get back to the basic budgeting constraints that affect every family in the community. The cycle of raising taxes and spending money has to stop,� said Becker, pointing to a two petitions demanding fiscal restraint signed by 2,600 residents. Reiterating what he said during the 2011 campaign, Becker intends to begin with a budgeting process that freezes expenditures at 2014 levels, starting with the mayor’s salary. “It is a way to stop and take a breath as a community and then engage the public in the process.� City hall has already performed some parts of Becker’s plan. After receiving a second petition, council directed staff to prepare two budgets last year – one with a tax increase and a second without. The exercise led council to pare down spending and deliver a 1.9 per cent property tax increase, the lowest in a decade. Support for the tax increase was not unanimous. The budget passed on a 4-3 split that involved then-councillor Doug Bing, who had just been elected MLA but stayed on council for the vote. Since Bing’s departure, council has been divided, and Becker believes the status quo is not healthy. He thinks the mayor should pull the team together. “That just hasn’t happened. I’m at a bit of a loss as to why.� He added that as a
trained facilitator and certified mediator, he has skills to get people to collaborate. “I understand these people. They all want to do what’s best for the community, but they are rudderless right now. They need a collaborative approach. That doesn’t mean a loud voice. The mayor’s voice should be the softest in the room, but there needs to be leadership to bring people together.� Becker differentiated himself from Walters by declaring he is against building the North Lougheed Connector, a contentious road through farmland that will service a 50-hectare commercial area. He believes it should be part of a much larger planning exercise that involves nearby residents, stakeholders and the wider community. Walters wasn’t surprised by Becker’s announcement. “Healthy debate is good for our community.� She noted that the city will continue to prepare two budget scenarios, but wonders how Becker will deliver a spending freeze when the city can’t control increases to TransLink or Metro taxes. “I agree that we have to curb spending wherever possible, but the costs of doing business always go up and that’s what we have to accommodate,� said Walters. “Certainly, we could go into our reserves, but that’s not good fiscal management, in my opinion.� Walters acknowledged that city council is currently divided, but believes things will change after the November civic election. “It doesn’t help that we have a six-member council. When you have a full slate, it makes it a lot easier,� she said. “It’s very difficult when you have some members of council who don’t want to work together.�

THE NEWS/opinion News Views
Staying the same Maple Ridge has decided to stick with the modest requirement of only two signatures on a candidate’s nomination form, instead of a possible 10 signatures. Council decided at a recent meeting after a motion from Coun. Cheryl Ashlie to remain at two, as Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board recently decided to do. The decision puts the district at odds with Pitt Meadows, which has opted for requiring 10 signatures. One of the points made was that the 10 signatures would reveal who those people support in the election. That’s a faulty assumption. Just because someone signs nomination papers doesn’t mean he or she will vote for that candidate. It’s true that the public decides (that is about a third of the eligible voters who bother) who gets elected to council for the next four years. But what’s happening increasingly is that while the number of candidates grows – to a ridiculous 28 in the 2011 election – the number of voters shrinks. Requiring at least 10 signatures would have whittled out the frivolous candidates and reduced the list, making it easier for voters to understand. Another step which could have drawn public interest was to add referendum questions to the ballot, as proposed by mayoralty candidate Graham Mowatt. Couns. Corisa Bell and Bob Masse wanted to explore the idea, and at least discuss it, but to no avail. Apart from more flexibility in choosing polling stations, council has let slip an opportunity to try new measures. As result, council ensures nothing will change in Maple Ridge and voter turnout will continue to wane. It shows a failure of imagination, resolve and creativity by most on council who just want to keep things as they are. – The News Tell us what you think @ www.mapleridgenews.com

B.C. back in black, deep in debt VICTORIA – When the audited public accounts confirmed a $353 million surplus for the last fiscal year, B.C. Liberal political staff were quick to remind reporters of the NDP’s main theme from last year’s election campaign. Pages of election B.C. Views quotes from almost Tom Fletcher every NDP MLA were waiting to be distributed. It was a “bogus budget,” one of the more polite tags applied to the government’s preelection fiscal plan. “It underestimates the costs in a whole bunch of ministries and we’re going to have to review that because all of the decisions that we propose in our platform will have to be implemented,” said thenleader Adrian Dix, describing the NDP’s plans to tax and spend more. Skeena MLA Robin Austin targeted health care in the budget debate: “Bearing in mind that our population is actually increasing, bearing in mind that our population is aging, I think it’s very unrealistic to think we can actually limit health care expenditures to 2.7 per cent.” As it turned out, health care spending grew by just over two per cent. It still went up by $360 million from the previous year, but after annual increases of six or seven per cent had become the norm, this is quite an achievement. New agreements remain to be negotiated with doctors and nurses, so we’re unlikely to
see the same cost control results for the current year. Ottawa’s health care transfer payment formula has changed, and increases are to be capped at three per cent a year by 2016, so this is the kind of spending restraint all provinces are expected to produce. Education was the only other ministry to receive significant extra funding last year, up $299 million despite continuing enrolment decline. Like health, the education budget goes up every year, and these increases, along with strong student performance results, expose the rhetoric of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation about a cash-starved system for what it is. But the biggest fabrication of last year’s election was the “debt free B.C.” slogan emblazoned on the side of Premier Christy Clark’s campaign bus. The public accounts confirm that the province’s total debt rose to just over $60 billion, the latest of a series of increases since 2008. The much-touted balanced budget is on the operating side, while the province continues to pile up debt to pay for the Port Mann mega-project, hospitals, schools and other big infrastructure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures. “We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said. “Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation
framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate the revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to greenlight the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion.
“Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most far-fetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as now-NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

THE NEWS/letters A closer look at democracy today
Editor, The News: I have enrolled 28 students in an Advanced Placement Psychology course for September at Maple Ridge secondary. Disruption in September will significantly diminish the likelihood of these students succeeding in this course and gaining university credit at MRSS next year. Those students and their parents will be exceedingly dissatisfied if this occurs, and rightly so. As their teacher, I am personally doing everything I can to help bring about a negotiated settlement this summer. I am contacting and informing parents, teachers and community members on the issues. I am organizing and attending rallies, picket lines, and community events. I ask what their MLA, Doug Bing, is doing to help ensure that these students can start their studies in September? I have been informed that he is reading correspondence and meeting with constituents. I am left to wonder if he is also advocating on their behalf with government leaders? I also wonder how he would have felt if someone had let his dental studies be disrupted and found no one willing to stand up for him? Is that what democracy looks like? Philip Gray Maple Ridge
Where does school board stand? Editor, The News: Re: Our schools can take no more: board (The News, July 18). Anyone else impressed with how public our school board has been about the chronic underfunding of education? Anyone else wonder why? Let me remind you that, in less than four months, there is another municipal election for school board. Don’t kid yourself, the upcoming election is the motivation behind the most recent letter and public statements made by our board regarding the latest round of extreme budget cuts that they were “forced” to make. It is too little, too late. This very board, majority of members unchanged from the previous board, has made deep budget cuts to almost every facet of School District No. 42’s operations the last few years. While doing so, they repeatedly stated that they have no choice due to their legal requirement to pass a balanced school budget. There is no denying that this is the case and we do have a recent example (Cowichan)
where government fired a locally elected school board for taking a stand and refusing to pass a balanced budget, then replaced them with a government official. What better way to continue the Liberal government agenda of dismantling public education and have folks feel they have no choice but place their child in private school? If they are forced to balance the budget, at the very least you would expect our locally elected board to advocate for our students in more creative ways than simply letter writing. Consider the fact that some of our trustees actively campaigned to get both of our Liberal MLAs elected, I wonder how those conversations go? Enough is enough. On Nov. 15, we need to change our school board and elect another board that will do more than write letters to an already overheated paper shredder at the ministry. My responsibility is to the teachers of Maple Ridge who elect me, not the BCTF.
And trustees should be responsible to the public who elect them, not BCPSEA. At a recent meeting, trustee Ken Clarkson attempted to get the board to have a public discussion about the current bargaining impasse. To have this discussion, it would have taken a majority vote by the other trustees to override their own policy keeping such matters to private meetings only. Sure enough, the majority of the board voted against having a public discussion on our current situation. In other words, the public has no idea where this board stands, exactly how trustees like it. I know school board elections do not garner the same attention as city council, but I urge all of you concerned about our current education system and the chronic underfunding that is cutting direct services to our students, to make it a priority to vote.

Fairer comparison of property taxes sought by Monisha M ar t ins staff reporter
Pitt Meadows council has asked staff to gather more information to ensure the city has the right data when it compares its property taxes to other communities. Last week, council supported a motion introduced by Coun. Janis Elkerton to investigate mill rates. “Let’s deal with the truth,” said Elkerton, adding she’s suspicious of
the city’s claim of having the third lowest taxes in Metro Vancouver. “When you compare stuff, you need to have all the variables be the same and that’s not happening.” A mill rate is the amount of tax payable per dollar of the assessed value of a property. Each mill is one-thousandth of a currency unit, equivalent to onetenth of a cent or $0.001. In Pitt Meadows, the mill rate last year was 3.87, while Surrey’s was
2.32 and West Vancouver was 1.77. Elkerton said she’s often heard complaints about property taxes from residents who’ve moved to Pitt Meadows from other parts of Metro Vancouver. “They’ve downsized and are paying more taxes,” said Elkerton. “I want to find out why.” Coun. Gwen O’Connell said staff would have to make sure they are making a fair comparison. “I think there are a lot of questions out there
BIGGER
when we are quoted as being the lowest tax rate and when people look at their bills it’s different.” Pitt Meadows will begin planning its 2015 budget in January, but staff cautioned council that mill rates are just one component that influences property taxes. “There is a concern that the mill rate itself will be misleading,” said director of finance Mark Roberts. “I’m concerned that the mill rate on its own will not be a good indicator for council to compare.”

Thanks Bruce I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

No. 1 fire hall is saving money stuff, but they’re too fragile for that. Instead, their real purpose is to capture daylight and disperse it on to the ceilings and floors. The light
again is picked up by translucent office wall panels and is further distributed into the hallway. As a result, assistant fire chief Michael Van Dop rarely has to turn on his office lights. It’s one of the tricks the building uses that allowed it to earn a gold in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design awards. LEED is a U.S.-based energy-rating system that measures construction processes and building materials to encourage energy conservation. It took four years for Maple Ridge to earn its gold certificate because the building performance must be monitored in order to prove it’s saving energy. “It takes time,” explained Laura Benson, sustainability manager with the District of Maple Ridge. “That’s kind of what LEED is all about, the design, the building – so it’s all that stuff.” Some of the other features of the building that make it sip energy are automated light switches that turn lights on and off when motion is detected. To keep the building from soaking up heat in the summer, it has a white roof to reflect back sunshine. Geo thermal heating is also used, in which coolant is pumped into the ground then recirculated back into the building for uniform temperatures during both winter and summer. Thick insulation achieves a 35-per-cent savings in heating. Even the fire hall’s location, on bus routes in the civic centre, earned the fire hall points, while storage for cycles achieved the same goal. Low-flow toilets, auto tap sensors reduce water use by 20 per cent, and drought tolerant native plants outside means there’s no need to water outside. The hall was built upon an expansion of an older building, allowing reuse of many materials, while 15 per cent of the materials come from local sources. Benson said with the old building, energy consumption (electricity and natural gas combined) was 2.1 units per square metre of building space. After the renovation, it’s now 1.1 – a 46 per cent reduction.

Dinner for a dollar at The Lazy Susan L
ast fall I came across an intriguing advertisement in the Gazette of June 6, 1951, announcing the opening of The Lazy Susan Restaurant, a “mile west of Whonnock on Lougheed Highway.” The new restaurant would be open from noon to eight in the evening every day, except Tuesday, offering “lunches and tea” and also dinners from $1. Here was something I did not know anything about. Nothing more could be found in the Gazette about The Lazy Susan or its fate, so I started to ask around. Who had ever heard about The Lazy Susan? Where was the restaurant? Who owned it? Some of the long-time residents of Whonnock remembered that The Lazy Susan stood close to the foot of Spilsbury Street. Others, as children, had a meal there with their parents. It was owned, it seems, by the Stirks – a husband and wife team. Nothing more came out of the collective memory. I was ready to give up when just a few weeks ago I got a call from Elsie Meldrum, who told me that she treasured a copy of a long-forgotten trade magazine called Restaurant & Caterer of August 1953, with a picture of Sam Stirk on the cover and inside an illustrated article about The Lazy Susan. I dropped what I was doing and drove off to meet her. The article in Restaurant & Caterer describes the interior of The Lazy Susan as “simple but attractive and homey.” The Stirks used “kitchen-type” chairs with cushions and inexpensive plywood tables for the dining area. A large red brick fireplace with a comfortable chesterfield and chairs were at one end. French doors opened out on a treed lawn area with flower borders, offering “ ... a commanding view of the Fraser [River], with Mount Baker in the background.” There was ample offhighway parking space. Sam Stirk, a RAF veteran, gained restaurant experience in Chilliwack and on Vancouver Island before opening The Lazy Susan. He kept the overhead down by doing the

Sam used a wood stove for cooking and water heating. He started using a simple icebox, but soon had to purchase a refrigerator and freezer. The Stirks worked long days, even spending time on their day off doing maintenance and shopping for supplies for the restaurant. To avoid food waste, only grilled items were on the menu during the week, and fresh-frozen vegetables were heated as customers arrived. On weekdays, The Lazy Susan also offered a “Salesmen’s Special” for 65 cents, including soup, a sandwich, a green salad, and a beverage. On Sundays, The Lazy Susan’s big day, the specialty was fresh Fraser River salmon. At the top of the fare, at $2, was T-bone steak. Home-baked bread and pies completed the meal. At lunchtime during
the week, men from the sawmill close by were regular customers. Mrs. Meldrum, who as a young girl occasionally assisted with the serving, remembers how the men from the mill confused her immensely by each ordering a differently cooked steak: rare, medium well done, medium rare, well done, or medium. “I am not sure,” she says, “if they all got what they ordered.” She also recalls a couple from Vancouver “motoring” every Sun-
day to The Lazy Susan for lunch. They were known as “the Wigs” because the husband was wearing a hairpiece. “Have the Wigs not arrived yet,” the Stirks would ask. “ ... the Wigs are late.” Mrs. Meldrum fondly remembers Sam Stirk and his wife. “They were the nicest people to work for,” she says, “truly nice people.”

Create art inspired by gelato Maple Ridge artist organizes contest to celebrate Italian dessert by Monisha M ar tins staff reporter
A
s an artist, Vladimir Kolosov doesn’t think it’s weird or strange to be inspired by gelato. Food, in all its wondrous forms, has always stimulated the mind, not only the tongue. Think back to the 17th century, the Dutch Golden Age of Art, he says. “Foods of all kinds are represented in beautiful still-life paintings.” The paintings are so vivid and “so tasty that you want to eat them” says Kolosov, referencing the art of Dutch masters Willem Kalf, Willem Heda, Peter Claecz and many others. Travel to Spain and enjoy wonderful still-life of Antonio Pereda. In France, food inspired Sezanne. Closer to home, the Art Institute of Chicago presented an exhibition in January titled “Art and Appetite: American Painting, Culture, and Cuisine”. It featured 75 paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts from the 18th through 20th century. Two artists Emilie Baltz and Carla Diana created “Likestra” – a musical performance that uses ice cream or gelato as the musical instrument. “I can continue and it will be a very long list of artists who was inspired by foods and particularly by gelato, and ice cream,” Kolosov says. Through his non-profit organization, the Together in Art Foundation, Kolosov intends to nurture that artistic tradition with a competition for children and youth titled the Art of Gelato. The competition launched earlier this year in Rimini, Italy at the biggest trade show dedicated to artisan gelato and ice cream. Winners will be featured in an art show and get a trip to Italy which includes visits to fine art museums in Rome, Florence and Milan. Kolosov says the goal of the contest is to encourage children and students to discover and express their
Maple Ridge artist Vladimir Kolosov launched the first Art of Gelato contest earlier this year. inner creativity, to enhance intercultural exchange and communication through visual arts. The competition also supports a fundraising campaign titled “Visual Art can Change Life”. Funds raised will go to organizations who develop visual arts programs for people with special needs. Born in the former U.S.S.R., Kolosov studied painting, sculpture and music at Moscow’s Fine Arts Youth School, a program that ran parallel to a regular primary and secondary education. It was a time when only one movement was official approved and supported – socialist realism with a mission to further of the goals of socialism and communism.
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
It prompted Kolosov to investigate other art movements. He was drawn to surrealists, whose works featured unexpected juxtapositions and dream-like imagery. A member of the South Delta Artists Guild and Garibaldi Arts Club, Kolosov’s paintings may look Dali-esque but instead chronicle real life. • To enter the Art of Gelato contest, visit to www.togetherinarts.org/Contest.html. The submission deadline is September 30. Contestants must be a resident of Italy, Canada or the U.S.A. It is open to ages seven to 21 years.

How to conquer the kid toy clutter Too much household clutter is not only unsightly but also can contribute to a stressful environment. Children’s toys are often key contributors to homes overrun with clutter, but with a growing family and birthday and holiday gifts streaming in, it can be challenging for parents to tame toy-related clutter.
house larger toys and act as a receptacle for fast cleanup when kids need to tidy up before company arrives. Such chests are good for storing larger cars and trucks or the hordes of stuffed animals kids accumulate.
Parents who have hosted play dates know that once the fun ends their youngsters’ rooms often appear overrun with toys. Kids have a funny knack of taking out every toy they own without putting their toys away. But with a few tips, anyone can conquer the clutter created by toys. • Taking inventory helps to determine which toys can ultimately be donated or discarded. Look for duplicates, similar items, broken toys, and items that are seldom used. • Start to organize. Create groups in which to sort the toys. Dolls should be in one pile, building blocks in another and so on. Figure out a system that works for your family. You may find that active, sports-related items can be moved to the garage, while board games and books may be moved to a family room or a community closet in the house to free up more space in playrooms. Seasonal toys can be stored away in an attic or basement until they are needed. • Create accessible storage. Toys should be stored where kids can easily access them. Clear bins are great for storage, and such bins come in a variety of sizes. Construct cubbies in the playroom where these bins can be kept. Be sure they are nearly ground level and not too heavy so that children can easily get to their toys come play time. • Construct or buy a toy chest. A toy chest can

of community in Pitt Meadows!
• Shelving gets things off the floor. Display collectibles that cannot be damaged on shelves. This makes sure they are still on display but not in jeopardy of being mishandled by curious youngsters. • Donate toys kids no longer use. It can be a tough job, but children should work with you to thin out their toy collections. Designate a certain portion of items that need to go. Bring them to a consignment shop or donate them to kids in need. Organizing youngsters’ toy collections can be a difficult job, but such organization is essential to keep a tidy home.

Burrards drop to third Two games left before the playoffs by Nei l Corbe tt Black Press
W
Coach Chris Gill wasn’t cutting his team any slack after two straight losses dropped them from second to third in the Western Lacrosse Association. The Maple Ridge Burrards lost to Coquitlam 7-5 on Saturday. Coquitlam benefitted from three straight power play goals in the first period. Defender Garrett McIntosh took a five-minute major for checking from behind, and Coquitlam scored twice. Gill didn’t want to be critical of the referees, but
said “we were shorthanded often in that game.” Patrick O’Meara and Ben McIntosh each scored twice in Coquitlam, and Jarret Davis had three assists. “In general, we weren’t sharp as a team,” he said. “Maybe we didn’t think we had to work hard to win it.” Their previous two games had been blowouts over the Adanacs, by scores of 13-4 and 10-5. Sunday brought a backto-back game against Burnaby – a rival for second place, and an 8-7 loss. Gill didn’t accept that tight scheduling made it a tough matchup. “If you want to win a Mann Cup, you play back-to-backs.” Riley Loewen had two goals and four assists,

‘Superman’ wins worlds
Neil Corbett/THE NEWS
On Saturday, the Burrards lost to an Adanacs team that they had previously embarrassed, then on Sunday dropped a key second-place matchup with the Burnaby Lakers. Davis two goals and two assists, and Ben McIntosh three goals and an assist. Again the Burrards gave up a significant edge in penalties, as they took 21 minutes on nine infractions, compared to Burnaby’s 14 minutes on
seven calls. It was a key loss, because it dropped their record to 8-7-1, for third place, while Burnaby improved to 9-6 and takes second. With two games left in the regular season,
they are in Langley on Wednesday night, for a 7:45 p.m. game, and next Thursday finish the season in New Westminster. Burnaby has the Island swing – Victoria and Nanaimo this weekend, and finish against Coquitlam.
Maple Ridge Burrard Curtis ‘Superman’ Dickson was a big part of Team Canada winning a world field lacrosse championship on Saturday in Colorado. Dickson scored 18 goals in seven games and was named to the All-World tournament team as an attacking player. He had a goal in the final on Saturday, as Canada defeated Team USA 8-5 in front of 12,000 fans in Commerce City, Colorado. Canada had lost to the U.S. 10-7 in its tournament opener. Dickson has been absent from the local Western Lacrosse Association team for the much of this season as he prepared for and played in the world championships. In the semi-final game, Dickson came up huge. ‘Superman,’ as he is called with the NLL Calgary Roughnecks, had a natural hat trick in the third quarter, then scored a fourth in the final two minutes as Team Canada downed the Iroquois Nationals 12-6 on Thursday. He was forced to sit out much of the final game with an injury, but will be dressed when the Burrards are in Langley tonight. Canada had also won the world crown in 1978 and 2006.

A special thank-you to Doctors Gornall and Ingrey for their compassionate care. No Sad Tears For Me I hope by now that some of the initial pain of my departure has begun to wear away…and that the kind carpet of pleasant memories has started to unroll. I only ask one thing: No sad tears for me, please. Every wonderful, delightful thrill, experience and emotion life has to offer has been mine. So no sad tears for me, please. Rather, recall me with a fond smile as the wife, daughter and friend who shared your laughter, tears and dreams through the years. No sad tears for me, please. I lived a goodly span of years and enjoyed them all. I’ve laughed a lot, cried a little…I’ve seen many sunsets and a few fresh dawns, walked in the April rain and watched the wheat fields roll. I loved a man and was loved in return and walked with the hands of young people in my own. No sad tears for me, please. Think of the happy times; The Christmas mornings, the nieces, nephews, graduations, the Thanksgiving dinners and most of all, remember the thousand of times we were all together as family and friends. On Christmas Eve if there is a small star in the sky, look at it with love and let it come into your heart…and remember me. No sad tears for me, please. A woman never really dies while there are those on Earth who loved her. A woman is never gone as long as there are those who remember her with fondness…and as long as her memory evokes a wistful smile. All who have loved, and who have been loved, have earned a piece of immortality… No sad tears for me, please
