Scammers using hospital as guise Canvassing door to door with computer tablet By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

Ridge Meadows RCMP are warning the public about a door-to-door scam concerning the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation. “Police have received a number of complaints about a male and a female who have gone door-to-door seeking donations for the Ridge Meadows Hospital cancer ward,” said RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “The canvassers are not accepting cash donations, but produce either a computer tablet or a hand held information gathering device. They encourage people to sign up for a personal donation on these devices. See Scam, 16

Light bright Paula and Perry Balascak are collecting donations for the food bank at their home, 23025 – 125A Avenue in Maple Ridge. Perry and their 14-year-old son worked for a month, checking every light bulb, to get the Christmas display ready. All of the characters are cut from wood and hand-painted. The family is accepting non-perishable food items for the Friends In Need Food Bank. They can be placed in a marked container at the end of their driveway. Their house will be lit every night, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. until Dec. 31.

Transportation mayor’s first task Becker facing ‘tsunami’ of paperwork already By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

With critical meetings about the looming TransLink referendum set for today, there was no easing into the job for Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker. He was already in what he called “full mayor mode” when the inauguration for Pitt Mead-

ows mayor and council was held on Tuesday. Becker has been hit by a “tsunami of confidential briefings” from TransLink. The simple issue is that transit infrastructure has not kept pace with population growth, Becker explained. “We need to invest in transit, to play catch-up to our growing communities.” The region’s mayors put the TransLink referendum on hold until after the Nov. 15 municipal

elections. Today, they will begin planning the vote on a $7.5 billion plan. It includes light rail in Surrey, a new four-lane Pattullo Bridge, a subway in the Broadway corridor of Vancouver, and hundreds of new buses. Becker said he believes there should be more in the 10-year plan for Pitt Meadows, and he will advocate for such, but added “every jurisdiction probably feels it could have done better.” He said Pitt Meadows needs improved shuttle service and up-

grades to existing bus routes. Becker has spoken with Maple Ridge’s new mayor, Nicole Read, about their need to present a united voice at TransLink, to advocate for the neighbouring cities. “We’re small frogs in a big pond,” said Becker. “We need to be credible together.” TransLink must decide on a referendum question, have it approved by the provincial cabinet, and take it to a public vote this spring.

Sharon Wastrodowski tops up her gas tank at Petro Canada on Lougheed Highway Thursday, when gas was $1.17 a litre for regular.

Cheaper gas, cheerier Christmas Savings could go towards holiday purchases By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

rim 26 cents off a litre of gasoline and the average driver can pocket $15 per fill-up. And if filling up is a weekly routine, that’s another $60 a month in pocket change, which is nice to have this time of year. The drop in gasoline prices, from a midsummer high of about $1.42 a litre to Thursday’s $1.17 a litre, comes just as Christmas shoppers are getting into high gear and will help at least one shopper stretch her dollars. “I think it’s great. It makes a big difference in the budget,” said Sharon Wastrodowski, who works at a big box store in Port Coquitlam, where wages “aren’t that great.” She drives a little Suzuki and says the dollars she’ll save on gasoline this year likely will go to Christmas presents. Add a low Canadian dollar, now at the 88-U.S.-cent range, making it less worthwhile to cross the border for U.S. deals, and local retailers should have lots to smile about this

Christmas shopping season. However, the connection between low gasoline prices and lots of yuletide giving isn’t that direct, according to one Maple Ridge retailer. “The sales seem to be more event driven,” said Dave Sheppard, of Haney Sewing and Sound. A busy Black Friday just finished, while the most frantic few shopping days in Canada, Boxing Week, are still to come. “There are still tons of people who go down to the States all the time,” he said. However, the price differences between Canada and the U.S. on electronic goods is marginal, while warranties aren’t covered here for U.S.-purchased goods. “It’s all the same disposable income, so if there’s less money spent on gasoline, that’s obviously good for everybody, except the oil companies and the government,” said Sheppard. “There’s more building happening in Maple Ridge again,” causing more people to look for appliances. “I still think our gas prices are way too high.” At Ardene clothing in Haney Place Mall, renovations in the mall and to the store are likely the reason business is better this year. “So far, it’s probably a little better than last

year,” said manager Lisa Miller. Ardene has been in its new, larger premises for about a year. “It’s making a difference. We’re busy, always busy.” However, Michelle Strobel at Suzanne’s, also in the mall, said so far there’s been no noticeable uptick that seems paired with lower gasoline prices. Still, she expects this to be a better Christmas season. The mall has been steadily renovating following the arrival of Target in 2013 in the former Zeller’s location.

“I still think our gas prices are way too high.” Dave Sheppard, Haney Sewing and Sound At Mark’s, downtown on Lougheed Highway, sales also are similar to last year’s, said Jeremy Bekar. “People are just starting.” Jason Parent, vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates, said there may be room for gasoline prices to drop a little more

at the pumps as a result of fall of crude oil prices, but not a huge amount. “We’re talking two or three cents,” Parent said. “Generally, I see retail gas prices hovering around where they are right now – plus or minus five cents – and then creep up a little more in the spring.” While filling up at the Haney Chevron, motorist Fred Smith said he doesn’t worry too much about what the price of gasoline. Since he retired, the amount of driving he does has decreased. That, and having a Toyota Prius hybrid car means few worries about the price of gasoline. “We don’t not do anything because of the gas prices.” He said his hybrid car was one of the best investments he ever made. “We should be working towards electric cars.” At the Petro Can station on 228th Street, Frank Luth was filling up his wife’s Chrysler, which he said doesn’t have great fuel economy. He wasn’t complaining about the price of gasoline, but wondered why diesel prices hadn’t dropped. They were stuck at $1.33 a litre. If the low prices stick around it might encourage people to travel more during the summer, he added.

‘What a long, strange trip’ Mayor from front

Becker said the transportation authority will want the region’s mayors to champion the cause. “It’s the hope of TransLink that mayors will get on the bus.” However, just last week Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan called the referendum “doomed,” saying it was too ambitious.

“the friendliest group we will ever see in the next four years.” “I am both humbled and incredibly excited to be given the opportunity to begin the second 100 years of our history, along with my council colleagues,” said Becker.

He paraphrased the Grateful Dead in adding: “What a long, strange trip it will be.” Becker said council will start to work on initiatives in the key areas that his team identified during the election, as they knocked on close

to 4,000 doors: teamwork, transportation, taxation and transparency. He has asked each of the councillors to submit a list of priorities to him. “I said what I would do if elected, and now I will do what I said.”

Dishonourable Lawyers acting on behalf of the federal government this week are arguing in B.C.’s Supreme Court that Canada has no covenant with its military veterans, and that any promises made to them can be adjusted at will by elected representatives. This is the government’s line of defence against a class-action suit being pursued by the Equitas Society on behalf of disabled veterans. The society has long argued – with supporting evidence of those struggling with lingering physical and mental injuries – that the government’s policy of lump-sum payments to wounded veterans is paltry compensation indeed for those willing to sacrifice their lives for the principles we hold dear. No matter what one believes about a suitable level of compensation for veterans – which is a matter for our lawmakers – to argue flatly that Canada has no covenant with its sons and daughters in the military is shocking, both in its moral insensitivity and sheer lack of political astuteness. It goes against what every Canadian has been raised to believe. Many times we have been reminded by our politicians that we owe our veterans a debt that can never be repaid. Yet, some are tacitly supporting dishonourable measures that seek, by legal maneuvers, to devalue and dismiss that service. At the heart and core of what it means to be a Canadian are principles of service and sacrifice, particularly in dark days when peace and democracy are threatened. Many lay down their lives in that conflict, while others endure wounds both seen and unseen for the rest of their days. It is their service that we honour every November at cenotaphs across this land, along with poppy-sporting politicians who are swift to lay wreaths and spout platitudes. Our representatives should remember the words of then-prime minister Sir Robert Borden to Canadian troops preparing to go into battle at Vimy Ridge in 1917: “You can go into this action feeling assured of this, and as the head of the government I give you this assurance, that you need have no fear that the government and the country will fail to show just appreciation of your service to the country in what you are about to do and what you have already done ... no man, whether he goes back or whether he remains in Flanders, will have just cause to reproach the government for having broken faith with the men who won and the men who died.”

Fish dying without spawning What’s troubling is that two of the chum appeared to have completely abnormal eggs – Doug Stanger, streamkeeper.

ink and orange are normal colors for ripe eggs inside female salmon. Along the Fraser Black isn’t. But, that’s what Doug Jack Emberly Stanger and ARMS volunteers Cliff Olson, and Joe Jurcich found this fall as they tallied spawners in Millionaire and Coho creeks, which empty into the Alouette River. “Something’s definitely wrong,” says Olson. “What really concerns me is the eggs we found. Most of the fish hadn’t spawned (milt and eggs inside). One female’s were black. Normally, there’d be just a few eggs left in them after a week, and they’d be a light pink or orangy color, not black. I’ve never seen this before.” In another coho, Olson said the eggs were absolutely white. “You see white eggs sometimes in the water with a distinct black dot on them, almost like it was done with a paintbrush. You can see the alevin in them, which means they’ve been fertilized, but these were just white with a black dot. You shouldn’t see the eyed egg until it was fertilized. It just can’t happen

uestion of the week:

– fertilized, eyed eggs inside a female that hasn’t spawned. That doesn’t make sense. I’m not a scientist, I can’t explain it. I’ve just opened a lot of fish over time.” Olson wants an expert opinion for the apparent abnormalities, but struggled for who to call in the DFO – the authority for wild salmon. It’s a big problem with staff cuts, habitat offices closed, and DFO’s policy of not monitoring local streams or escapements. There’s no excuse for DFO not to be on spawning streams this fall and sending reports of abnormalities to government laboratories or documenting the scarcity of spawners. “To put this in perspective,” says Stanger, last year we’d be finding 25-35 live chum weekly. Our largest weekly chum count to date is eight, but most counts have been zero to two, and the dead fish, mostly unspawned, seem to deteriorate very quickly – in the space of a week. I’ve never seen that before.” Olson was also shocked by the weak returns. “The numbers this year are horrendous. I’ve never seen such low returns on both chum and coho.” Weak returns, abnormal eggs. Were they only found on the north side of the Fraser River? No, says Doug Gosling, a volunteer stream keeper with the Abbotsford Ravine Park Salmon Enhancement Society. Gosling worries about unusually low fish counts on the river’s south side, too.

Do you donate to charity during the holiday season? Yes: 50% – No: 50%

“I’m concerned about the same things,” says Gosling. “When a volunteer opened a female, she had the red eggs in her, ready to come out, but they all had black dots in them. The fish hadn’t spawned. It’s a mystery. I don’t understand it. It’s also disturbing. “When we find a female that hasn’t spawned it breaks your heart,” says Gosling. He’s also asked DFO for insight unsuccessfully. Field officers avoid talking for fear of discipline. They should be answering the questions of stream keepers. They man the front line now in defense of a resource the public wants sustained. “They didn’t know anything,” says Gosling. “It’s so unfortunate DFO doesn’t have proper funding [to monitor streams, monitor and study trends.] They’re so skinny on staffing and budgeting.” Like Olson and Stanger, Gosling wonders why fish died without spawning. All want an explanation for low returns, fish that break down and deteriorate as if they had Ebola, and salmon that lack the stamina to get any distance up streams. Are the immune systems of chum passing fish farms weakened along with sockeye? DFO is not protecting chum or coho and their streams. They’re monitored by their real champions: volunteer streamkeepers. Jack Emberly is a retired teacher, local author and environmentalist.

THE NEWS/letters

Time to discuss twin elephants Editor, The News: Re: Guess what, ‘CO2 isn’t that big a deal (Letters, Nov. 26). Dennis Jaques recently wrote that increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a good thing and not to be feared He quotes the Heartland Institute and the Cornwall Alliance to back up his claims. The Heartland Institute is a conservative think tank. One of its main goals is to deny climate change in the hope that the fossil fuel industry can continue with business as usual. This organization also supported tobacco company Philip Morse in the 1990s to discredit any link between secondhand smoke and cancer. The Cornwall Alliance is a religious organization that does not publish peer-reviewed science on climate change. It does have proponents, such as NASA climate scientist Roy Spencer, who does not believe in human-induced climate change. But Spencer’s views are those of an outlier, not the opinions of mainstream science on climate change. I did not find the list of “over 20,000 scientists” who oppose mainstream science on global warming. It is notable that Mr. Jaques did not refer to these individuals as climate

scientists. Some believe that climate change is being used as an excuse to change, or worse yet, to destroy the capitalist system. Individual initiative is a wonderful thing. We need the innovations that imaginative people can bring to our society. However, capitalism has not remained true to its roots. It has become distorted in favour of the most wealthy and has become blatantly corrupt. This has caused greater inequality between the rich and the poor. Families are working harder and harder to make ends meet. There is more and more pressure on many of them to work for less, while the wealthy elite hide their profits in tax havens and escape paying their fair share of the taxes that support a better world. Regarding climate change, however, the problem is that even the solutions that are proposed by those who recognize climate change as a serious challenge to our future may not lead to the kind of improvements that are hoped for. First of all, many proposed renewable energy projects are not environmentally friendly, and don’t warrant being called “green.”

A climate scientist from UVic on the radio the other day described, in seemingly glowing terms, how China was soon going to be developing “a hundred site C dams”. Imagine the destruction this would cause to fish, wildlife and other life forms. Secondly, it is not clear whether or not renewable energy is actually sufficient to replace the energy of fossil fuels. Nevertheless, it is imperative that we shift to renewable energy now, while maintaining ecological integrity. We also need to begin discussing the twin elephants in the room. We consume too much stuff (to use David Suzuki’s phrase) and there are simply too many of us on this planet. We have lulled ourselves into believing that this beautiful planet on which we live has infinite capability to withstand the assaults that we have visited upon it. We believe this because we have not been paying attention to what has already happened to wildlife, to ecosystems, to water tables, to deforestation, to desertification. Sooner or later, however, none of us is going to be able to escape the devastations caused by a warmer climate. We simply have to learn to live more

lightly on this planet and I include myself in the we. And, who knows, we might even find there are unexpected benefits to living lighter, to sharing more, at the same time rewarding those who produce new and beneficial solutions through their ingenuity and hard work. Michael Sather Maple Ridge

Any suggestions?

Editor, The News: Re: Guess what, ‘CO2 isn’t that big a deal (Letters, Nov. 26). CO2 is very important. There is a symbiotic relationship between it and nature. The earth’s population is approximately seven billion, rising every second. Every day more than twice as many people are born as die. That we are polluting little creatures, there is no argument. The major CO2 producer and temperature riser is water vapour, the most abundant in the atmosphere. It’s driven by storm systems and ocean currents. Deep ocean currents cause climate warming and cooling in long term cycles. The Sun’s fluctuations contribute, too. Between 1900-2000, solar irradiance increased, causing rises in surface temperature. There are other factors too numerous to list. Climate systems are unpredict-

Mall & Santa Hours

able. Scientists are unable to affect past climates, ice ages or warm ones, so future predictions are iffy. In the 20th Century, there has been two arctic warmings with a cooling, (1940-1970) in between. The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has determined that the temperature in 1000-1100 AD, before fossil fuels, is comparable to the temperature from 19001990. From 1998-2009, $25 billion was spent on climate science in the states. Scientists who question results do not often get research grant money. A lot of people make a lot of money and have a vested interest, not necessarily humanitarianism. Of course, we all add to the mix, no one is exempt. Short of immediately returning to pre-industrial times and enacting severe population control, any suggestions? Cherryl Katnich Maple Ridge

Adjusting to council life Steep curve for new members By Phil M elnyc h u k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

When most people are putting their feet up on the weekend, the firsttime politicians just elected to run Maple Ridge will be hitting the books, burrowing through Byzantine bylaws and zoning out on zoning, and pondering projections and plans. The key thing to keep in mind: Don’t try to figure it out all at once. It’s going to take time for all the pieces to fall into place, says Coun. Bob Masse. He went through the same crash course in municipal politics in 2011, when he was elected to council for the first time and said new councillors need a few months to get up to speed. “Nothing prepares you for the job until you get in it,” said Masse, now in his second term. Following Monday’s swearing in after the Nov.

15 election, councillors this week went through an orientation session and were given a thick manual that covered the basics of their duties as councillor. On top of that, the official community plan and major documents, such as the transportation plan, the finance plan or parks and recreation master plan, all have to be reviewed. The new councillors have to attend a threeday seminar in January in Richmond, put on by the Local Government and Leadership Academy. Over the next few months, there will be sessions reviewing each department. “The whole process will take several months,” said Ceri Marlo, manager of legislative services. For Masse, the most difficult part of the new job though wasn’t the intricacies of bureaucracy. It was just getting used to the idea of majority rules. He’d become used to working on volunteer committees, where con-

sensus was sought among like-minded people on issues. But at the council table, once a vote passed or motion defeated, the issue was settled. No more discussion. “Once that is the decision, that’s the way it is.” Masse said he’ll usually put about 35 hours week into the part-time job of municipal councillor. Only the mayor’s position is considered full time. Masse will get up early in the morning, read reports and do his own research into issues that council is facing, such as homelessness. The same goes for a couple hours every evening. But he knows he’s got it easy compared to Mayor Nicole Read, who’s just taking the top job. “Talk about a steep learning curve. There’s a position where the learning curve is huge.” He expects the other two new councillors to learn quickly. “I think both Tyler [Shymkiw] and Kiersten [Duncan] have a really

good temperament and capacity to do the job well.” Shymkiw is a graduate student in political science, already a veteran at running campaigns, and has already sat on the parks and leisure services board. Duncan has been studying urban development at University of the Fraser Valley. For Shymkiw, “I wouldn’t say the learning curve has been overwhelming. I obviously have a very deep academic background looking at how government works; and I worked pretty hard to get up to speed with Maple Ridge specifically so that I could hit the ground running.” Getting up to speed is “different for different councillors.” Some may have to read the Local Government Act or Community Charter,, which sets out the basics of local government. Marlo said the biggest change for newly elected councillors is moving from private life into a high-profile, public life.

TREE OF

MEMORIES

B y Phil Mel nyc hu k pmelnychuk@mapleridgenews.com

Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows want residents to relax a bit, they’ve got it covered when it comes to trimming or pruning street trees along property lines. It’s not that both cities don’t appreciate the attention and concern people have over their streets and neighbourhoods. But when it comes to keeping trees healthy, and looking good, pruning is best left to the professionals. “We have 8,800 trees out there that we maintain. They’re on a fiveyear pruning cycle,” said Geoff Mallory, manager of parks and open spaces for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows parks and leisure services. “We don’t expect the average homeowner to know how to prune, so that’s why we have an abourist go out and do it for us.” Mallory said improper pruning of trees can lead to disease, dangerous weakening of branches, even death.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Michelle Collette prunes trees in Memorial Peace Park. She asks residents not to prune trees on city property in their neighbourhoods, and to wait for city crews to do it. In a recent ad, the parks department said that trees beside roads are municipal trees and people are asked not to prune them or bury trunks under soil or bark mulch. One of the most common mistakes in pruning a tree is topping it – just lopping off the top to control its height or cutting back the main branches to form a skeleton for future growth. That can damage a tree permanently, lead to decay, disease or weak branches. If a tree needs regular trimming to control its size, it’s probably in the wrong location, says the Urban Tree Foundation. Mallory said there are three main reasons for

pruning a tree: removing dead branches, removal of damaged or weak branches, or to remove diseased parts of the tree. Some of the most common street trees used in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows include the maple, oak, cherry and ash trees. In the refurbished parts of downtown Maple Ridge, narrower maple trees are used so they don’t interfere with pedestrian use of sidewalks. If property owners decide to prune a tree on their own property, not the city-owned stretch of land on the boulevard, the Urban Tree Foundation has a good website that can offer pruning tips. Trees should be

Photos, messages or a simple ornament can be hung on the tree with care. The ornaments will be removed Jan. 5, 2015 and held at the cemetery for pick up until Jan. 31, 2015.

pruned for air circulation so that masses of branches don’t constrict too much air. And never remove more than a third of a tree’s branches, because to compensate, the tree will send out suckers. When cutting a branch, leave the stem collar of the branch on the tree to minimize harm. Cutting a branch flush to the tree trunk used to be the practice, but that’s no longer followed. Maple Ridge resident Allen Lees said municipal crews are doing a good job of pruning trees, even though a five-year cycle is a lengthy one. The only problem is when trees have to be removed for sighting or road safety purposes. Residents are given the option of removing those trees first. Public works crews can chop then down. Lees has been campaigning for three years for Maple Ridge to update its tree bylaw. Under its current tree protection bylaw, homeowners can chop down three trees of any size without a permit. Outside the urban area, trees can be mowed down, subject to watercourse or slope protection, at the owner’s discretion.

Granting Christmas wishes

ike Huber’s Christmas wish came true last year. His son Issac was rushed to Ridge Meadows Hospital on Christmas Eve with what was thought to be appendicitis. The family spent Christmas Eve and Day in the hospital, as tests were conducted and medications administered to relieve Issac’s pain in hope of avoiding surgery. Hospital staff – doctors and nurses – not only helped avoid surgery, they got the family home in less than 48 hours. But before that, Santa arrived at the hospital in morning of Dec. 25 with a special gift just for Issac, then 8: a stuffed animal named “Christmas.” “This stuffy we will cherish for a life time as it symbolizes, what a great support system we have in Maple Ridge,” Huber said. But the real gift for him was a healthy son. Now Huber and his father, Dick Huber, and business partner, Julie Ramirez, want to make Christmas wishes come true

for others. The Huber realty team and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News are teaming up to grant three such wishes. Just write your heartfelt Christmas wish on the entry form, along with your contact information, and drop them off at one of two locations. Three will be selected. For Mike Huber, the idea originated last year while on a date with his wife, Shannon. “We began talking about how lucky we are to work, live and play in our own backyard,” he said. His family never takes for granted the people in their lives and the community they live in. “We know many are not as fortunate on many levels as we are,” Huber said. “So the concept was a simple one: give back and pay life forward.” • Drop off entries at Keller Williams Elite realty, No. 555 – 20395 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge, or the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows News, 22611 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge. Deadline is Dec. 24. Winners will be announced on Jan. 2.

Van driver extricated Pitt Meadows firefighters had to extricate a driver after a collision between a van and a farm vehicle on Tuesday morning. At 9:43 a.m., first responders were called to a crash in the 14300 block of Neaves Road, where a GMC panel van had collided with the rear of a trailer hauling farm equipment, which was being pulled by a tractor. The point of impact was the right, front section of the van, and the damage caused “lots of intrusion into the passenger compartment of the van,” said assistant fire chief Rob Chatton. The van’s driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, was extricated from the wreckage, having suffered minor injuries, said Chatton. “It was surprising there were not more serious injuries, but he was wearing a seatbelt, which helped,” said Chatton. The van driver was taken to hospital for treatment. The operator of the tractor also complained of pain. The cause of the accident, which occurred on a flat, straight stretch of road, has not been determined. The van was passing the tractor and trailer on the left when the accident took place. Chatton said the tractor was displaying a proper “slow vehicle” sign, and had amber flashing lights on the trailer.

Most charities no longer go door to door Scam from front

“Once the suspects get this information, it is unknown at this time what they are going to do with it, but the info could very well lead to incidents of identity theft.” Laura Cherrille, the executive director of the hospital foundation, said her group is not presently running a fundraiser, and never goes door-to-door canvassing. She received her first call about the bogus fundraisers on Saturday night, and said she has been “bombarded” since then, including four more complaints on

Wednesday morning. Cherrille said a group of people appears to be working the scam. She has heard of an Asian man who appears to be in his 20s, a well-groomed woman in her 50s, and at least one other man. One of them reportedly wears a vest with a hospital foundation logo on it. Cherrille said one victim reported a woman came to her door on Saturday around dinner time, saying she was collecting pledges on behalf of the Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation for an MRI machine. She did not want cash, but insisted the person sign up for a donation on her tablet. The citizen refused to make a donation. On Monday, again around dinner time, a man came to the door asking for a donation of $20 for the hospital foundation. This homeowner also refused to donate any cash. Cherrille urges anyone who has “signed up” for a bogus donation on a tablet to immediately contact their financial institution. “I worry that people actually believe them,” Cherrille said. “Most charities do not go door-to-door anymore, and the hospital foundation has never done that.” The hospital foundation raised $230,000 through its gala event, about $40,000 through the Fund Run, and conducts a direct mail campaign four times a year. The money raised buys equipment and financially supports Ridge Meadows Hospital capital initiatives. “Police want citizens to always be wary of door-to-door canvassers,” said Dunlop. “If people want to donate to a charity, donate through a secure website or through a legitimate contact number. It is not advisable to give out cash or any credit card or debit card information to door-to-door solicitors.” • Anyone who has encountered these canvassers is asked to contact Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604 463-6251, and to note the person’s description, and details of what they are asking for.

Gas price drop nearly done By Jef f Nage l Black Press

A petroleum industry expert says plunging crude oil prices may be close to a bottom, meaning B.C. motorists shouldn’t expect gasoline prices to fall much further. Metro Vancouver gas prices averaged $1.19 per litre Wednesday, down 17 per cent from their mid-summer plateau of around $1.42. Jason Parent, vicepresident of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates, said there may be

room for gasoline prices to drop a little more at the pumps as a result of crude’s fall, but not a huge amount. “We’re talking two or three cents,” Parent said. “Generally I see retail gas prices hovering around where they are right now – plus or minus five cents – and then creep up a little more in the spring.” Crude oil had run at more than U.S. $100 a barrel for the first half of the year before falling 35 per cent to less than $70. Crude’s decline turned

into a nose dive last week when the OPEC cartel announced it wouldn’t cut production to prop up oil prices, creating the spectre of a global supply glut and protracted low prices that could force some energy firms out of business. Some analysts have suggested crude oil could fall as low as $30 a barrel. “I just don’t see that,” Parent said. “I’m of the opinion that while we may not be at the bottom in terms of crude prices, I think we’re get-

ting pretty close to that range.” Parent said it would take an “epic” drop in the price of crude below its current level for gas prices to drop below $1 a litre, particularly in Metro Vancouver, where TransLink’s fuel tax adds 17 cents. “You guys are taxed more than anyone else in the country,” he said. Parent said gasoline prices in Canada haven’t fallen as much as in the U.S. because of the decline in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback.

Those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get shot must wear mask By Je f f Nage l Black Press

About a quarter of Fraser Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-time employees had not yet received the flu shot ahead of a Dec. 1 vaccination deadline and are now expected to wear masks in patient care areas of hospitals, longterm care homes and other health facilities. The health authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flu vaccination rate of 75 per cent as of Monday for full-timers will likely continue to improve as more health care workers get the shot in the weeks ahead, according to interim chief medical health officer Dr. Victoria Lee. Counting all staff â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â part-timers as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â the vaccination rate was 70 per cent, slightly better than 69 per cent at this point a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important we protect our patients from influenza and this is the best way to protect the most vulnerable,â&#x20AC;? Lee said.

The provincial policy to get a flu shot or wear a mask has been criticized by the B.C. Nurses Union,Â which lost a grievance over the order last year. Union officials say they remain opposed to it being mandatory and say a requirement that a nurse wear a mask could alarm certain anxious patients and create risky situations. Visitors to Fraser Health facilities must also wear masks if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not vaccinated. The staff vaccination rate in the Vancouver Coastal health region was 62 per cent as of Monday. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flu shot is not expected to be as effective as usual against the dominant influenza virus circulating this winter, but public health officials still urge people â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â especially the elderly and other vulnerable groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â to get vaccinated so they have as much protection as possible. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions.

The 2015 model year vehicles are rolling into dealerships, with just a few stragglers set for later arrival in the New Year. This week, the Driveway team takes a look at what’s new, in print and online at drivewaycanada.ca, starting with our chief test driver Zack Spencer. Honda HR-V

Visit the gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

Mazda MX-5 2015 Jeep Renegade Over the last few years Mazda has been introducing There is no question that the merger of Fiat and vehicles with its new Skyactiv technology but there is Chrysler has helped to introduce many new vehicles. one car that will signify the culmination of all the things The small car segment is a perfect example; the Fiat Mazda does well, the next generation MX-5 (Miata). 500 and its variations has been a plus The MX-5 will come in 2015 as a 2016 for Chrysler’s bottom line. Built in Europe model and all eyes are on Mazda to see on the Fiat 500L platform, this smaller what it can deliver. The bodywork is more Jeep Renegade replaces the Compass dramatic and having seen it in person, and Patriot models. Powered by either the dimensions look fanatic but the new a 160hp, 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder front grille might take a while to adapt too. or a larger 184hp, 2.4L 4-cylinder, Jeep The two-seat cockpit is roomier, thanks to claims that this compact crossover is a wider body and longer wheelbase but still a capable vehicle because of two the overall length is 105mm shorter and by Zack Spencer available all-wheel-drive (AWD) systems. 20mm lower. The standard models will be available with front-wheelThe 2.0L Skyactiv direct injection 4-cylinder will power drive (FWD), with either a 6-speed manual or 9-speed this lightweight car and power will go to the rear automatic transmission. wheels though a 6-speed manual transmission. Engine Styling is all-American; the signature Jeep grille is maroutput has not been announced, neither has the price, ried perfectly into the boxy design, as too are other Jeep but expect the car to be competitive with the 2015 styling cues. The interior is has a rugged, yet upscale model on price. design that features all of Jeep’s latest technology, Ford Explorer including the award winning Uconnect infotainment The sixth generation Ford Explorer will arrive in 2015 system. Pricing has not been announced but expect it as a 2016 model, now with new 2.3L EcoBoost engine shortly as it is due at dealerships very soon. available on the base and XLT trim. This replaces the older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment. Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

Question of the Week Alexandra Straub writes this week about the unusual new colours featured on cars at the LA Auto Show. Do you favour one colour when you buy a car. If so, what and why?

The 2015 Golf is the roomiest of all. incorporates all of the latest engineering advances. It is the safest, best-handling and roomiest Golf of all time. Thanks to the use of highstrength steel, it’s more rigid, but also safe, with better handling. Though the Golf has grown in size it has dropped in weight by up to 35.8 kg/79 pounds (depending on model.) An all-new, 1.8L direct-injected turbocharged engine, delivering 170 horsepower and 184 pound power it-feet of torque. The shape and design elements remain as defined, as ever, with a distinctive C-pillar and roofline framing classic Golf side windows, but the striking new front end and steeply sloped hood leave no doubt this is an all-new model. • Subaru Legacy ($23,495): The all-new Subaru Legacy will pleasantly surprise those in need of a mid-size sedan with allwheel drive. Priced under $24K, its trunk accommodates for 425L, there’s room for five, and its 2.5L, four-cylinder engine produces 175 horsepower. On the base model, you have the choice of a six-speed manual or an available Lineartronic CVT with paddle shifters and manual mode. One of the weakest points of the Legacy was probably the interior. For 2015, it’s significantly updated. Its infotainment system also receives a much needed revamping. Inside the entry-level Legacy 2.5i you’ll find an AM/FM stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio, a Radio Data Broadcast System, an in-dash CD player, a 6.2-inch multi-function touchscreen display, Subaru STARLINK connectivity with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera. Furthermore, the multi-touch display offers swipe and scrolling gestures, similar to smartphones and tablets. • MINI Cooper ($20,990): MINI’s street legal, go kart-like Cooper is now in its third generation and better than before. This pint-sized three-door can be outfitted with a choice of two new engines: either a three-cylinder engine with a peak output of 134 horsepower or, if you move up to the S trim, you’ll get a four-cylinder engine with an output of 189. You can match either engine with either a six-speed man-

ual or an available six-speed automatic. And as the MINI Cooper grows up, it also grows in dimensions. It’s 114 mm longer, 44 mm wider and seven mm higher than its predecessor. • Honda Fit ($14,495): Unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, the all-new, five-passenger, five-door vehicle comes with style and flair. And just because it doesn’t have a huge price tag, it doesn’t mean you don’t get some pretty great standard features. Those include things like: Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-angle rearview camera, and Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. For customers looking for premium features in the subcompact segment, the Fit will be available with smart entry with push-button start, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, Honda’s exclusive LaneWatch display and a seven-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface with HondaLink smartphone connectivity. The 2015 Fit marks the debut of an all-new direct-injected 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine. It produces 130 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm. Engine output is increased by 13 horsepower and eight lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing engine Fit provides an amazing 1492.3 L of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. • Nissan Micra ($9,998): It’s small and comes with a small price tag, but expect big things from the all-new Nissan Micra. At one of Canada’s lowest MSRPs – it competes directly with the Mitsubishi Mirage for that title – it’s amazing what you can get for so little. The base model comes with manual windows and a manual transmission. It handles quite well and the cabin isn’t particularly loud when driving at highway speeds. The Micra is designed to not only meet or exceed Canadian safety regulations, but exceed them. Micra’s standard safety systems include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System, Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Control System. Under its hood is a 1.6L, four-cylinder engine that produces 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque.

Pickups pick up in sales By Ian Harwood

ickup trucks continue to push new sales records every year and with more and more advancements in technologies and lightweight materials, we are witnessing a dramatic change to the automotive industry. â&#x20AC;˘ The 2015 Ford F-150 is a reinvention of North Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular pickup. It is 317 kilograms (700lbs) lighter, due to its aluminum body. It can tow up to 500 more kilograms (1,100lbs) and carry up to 240 more kilograms (530lbs) of cargo. The other benefit of losing all this weight is the fuel economy numbers, projected to be five to 20 percent better gas mileage. Four engine choices, 2.7 litre EcoBoost V6 delivering 385 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, a 3.5 litre EcoBoost V6 twin turbo that produces 365 horsepower and an incredible 420 lb-ft of torque, a 5.0-litre V8 with 385 horsepower with 387 lb-ft of torque and a 3.5-litre with 283 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. Some new technologies incorporated in this truck include a 360-degree cam-

era that offers the driver a birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye view to help maneuverer the vehicle out of tight spots, LED headlamps, LED tail lamps, integrated loading ramps, and a trailer hitch assist rearview camera that helps line up their truck and trailer without the use of a spotter. â&#x20AC;˘ Starting at $17,999, the 2015 Ram 1500 Diesel features a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 with an eight-speed TorqueFlite transmission, delivering an impressive 7.1 L/100 km highway fuel economy, powers. The Ram also includes active grille shutters to improve airflow for improved aerodynamics. There is also an airbag option available that can lower the ride height to create less drag. The Ram truck has generated a lot of excitement in 2014 and has won numerous awards. In Canada, Ram has maintained a strong following and with a diesel engine offering, the light truck market just became more interesting. Starting at $19,995 â&#x20AC;˘ The 2015 GMC Canyon has breathed new life into the mid-size pickup market. This vehicle is equipped

with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 200 horsepower and is mated with a six speed manual transmission, with a sixspeed automatic available as an option. You can also order a more powerful 3.6 Litre V6 with 302 horsepower engine, but it is only available with the automatic transmission. Available 4G LTE with Wi-Fi connection through OnStar turns your pick up into a mobile hotspot. New body style will attract a lot of attention, especially on the west coast where mid-size trucks were so popular. â&#x20AC;˘Starting at $22,395, the 2015 Chevy Silverado HD marches in with an all new exterior styling designed around improving airflow, which helps the 6.6-litre Duramax turbo diesel or the 6.0-litre Vortex V8 maintain full power during heavy towing and higher temperatures. Auto grade braking and diesel exhaust braking help keep towing in check on those steep hills. Starting on a hill is no problem thanks to the hill start assist that holds the brakes until you press the accelerator.

The trailer sway control automatically senses if a trailer is swaying and brings it back in line by applying both the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and trailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brakes. The rear bumper has steps integrated into each corner making it easier to access the pickupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box. â&#x20AC;˘ Starting at $39,995, the 2015 Toyota Tundra is equipped with a 5.7-litre i-force V8 engine producing 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque can tow up to 4,760 kg (10,500 lb). The Tundra went through a complete makeover last year with dramatic changes to the body. The grille is much larger and gives the truck a more aggressive look. The 1794 Edition is a Western themed truck that features 20â&#x20AC;? chrome clad alloy wheels, chrome surround grille with two bar silver inserts, a chrome and silver bumper, 1794 Edition badging, power moonroof and a heavy duty towing package. The Tundra tailgate opens very easily with the hydraulic assist and can close with as little as two fingers. ian.harwood@ drivewaybc.ca

Roomy parkhomes in Clayton, Surrey’s most sought-after neighbourhood It is no secret that the Fraser Valley is one of the most beautiful places in B.C. – with it’s sprawling green landscapes and wide-expanse of mountain ranges. Not only is The Grove built by award-winning Townline Homes in the desirable Clayton Heights neighborhood, but its optimal use of green space keeps the grass beneath

your feet and the mountains out your window. The Grove uses a unique ‘tworinged’ site design, meaning that almost every home faces green space; those on the outer ring will back onto a park or greenway, and homes on the inner ring will face a beautifully forested grove. The Grove’s natural setting is located amongst city greenbelts,

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

offering a wide variety of outdoor experiences right at your doorstep. “From walking your dog throughout the many trails, to playing with your little ones at the large outdoor playground, to bird watching at the two surrounding ponds, The Grove will awaken anyone’s love for the outdoors,” says Sales Manager, Elise Sangster. “The Grove’s proximity to

wonderful parks, ponds, trail systems and onsite amenities, such as an outdoor swimming pool, floor hockey and fully stocked gyms, really offers an all-around appeal to any type of buyer.” Some homes are even situated on a gentle slope so residents will enjoy views of the Fraser Valley and Mount Baker. It’s that prime location combined with intelligent design that makes the 141 roomy parkhomes in Surrey’s most sought-after neighborhood a point of envy now and into the future. “The Grove is inhabited by young couples and young families which internally creates a vibrant vibe

within a community you immediately want to call home,” says Sangster. “The Grove has a selected amount of homes currently completed but with a wide variety of homes that will be move in ready come this January 2015.” When you say yes to The Grove, you are saying yes to the best of the Fraser Valley right at your doorstep. The Grove’s Sales Centre and Display Homes are located at #1-19433 68 Ave, Surrey and are open every day except Friday’s from 12-5pm. The site will be closed as of December 22nd 2014 for the holidays, and will be re-open Saturday, January 3rd 2015.

Livia Homes by Ascentia Properties and the use of Fortis Before delving into what makes Ascentia Properties’ newest development “Livia,” extra special, it’s important to fi rst take a look at the fundamentals. Occupying an exclusive niche on the eastern edge of Richmond’s thriving centre, this collection of luxury family townhomes hold a charm of their own.. As a matter of fact, “delightful” would be the perfect word used to describe them. Their high-end finishing give residents a feel for the high life, while still providing everything that a family looks for in a home - a close-knit community and a comfortable place to call their own. With Livia homes, a little extra space goes a long way, which is why every home has a balcony, courtyard or roof deck, and natural gas hook-up on the ground floor patio. Also, the garages of these units have radiant floor heating with separate thermostat controllers. Once inside, enjoy state-of-the-art full size stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer laminate flooring and natural gas radiant floor heating. For peace of mind, all homes come with a fire sprinkler system and National Home Warranty. Now you may have noticed the mention of natural gas, and

that brings us back to what makes these homes extra special. The Ascentia team has developed more than 200 single-family homes and has close to a century of experience to draw from, in both residential and commercial development. With keeping quality and luxury in mind, Ascentia Properties provides innovative concepts to their homes, which is why they have chosen natural gas for their developments. Sales Representative of Multiple Realty Ltd., Michael Bir says this is because it provides a clean, reliable, and affordable fuel source to help integrate the demands of consumers. Livia homes boast many uses of natural gas, such as cooking (gas range), a BBQ hook-up (think – you never have to refill a tank), and radiant in-floor heating that keeps your floor warm and your spaces heated longer. This comfort comes from knowing the homes are equipped with a superior Viessmann high-efficiency boiler system that also provides hot water on demand. But according to Bir, the benefits don’t end there. “Busy young families will appreciate the convenience of natural gas cooking as it is offers faster cooking times, and it gives homes an even warmth and comfort that electric heat can’t match,” he says. “Precise temperature control and zoned

heating options make natural gas an energy efficient choice that’s preferred by homeowners.” Want to sauté, simmer and sizzle like a pro? “In the kitchen, a natural gas range gives infinite temperature settings and instant flame control, while other natural gas appliances enhance your comfortable lifestyle,” he says. “Plus, natural gas versus electric adds to a homes resale value.” How about saving money on your energy bills? From heating and power, to indoor and outdoor appliances, natural gas will lessen a home’s environmental footprint without compromising style or ambiance. While heating a home or using appliances to heat water can consume an average of 78 per cent of the total energy used in the house, natural gas space heating equipment are up to 98 per cent efficient. However, the benefits of switching to gas go beyond the cost. During a power outage, your home will stay heated long and you will still be able to cook dinner. Reliable natural gas is always there when you need it, safe, and easy to use, all while saving time and money.

Creating a winterberry wreath By Mike Lascelle

ew things are as quintessentially Christmas as a homemade winterberry wreath, and the sight of those bright red berries adorning the front door definitely says ‘season’s greetings’ to all who come calling. Our demonstration today comes to us from Cathie Whitman, who along with her partner, Tim Hurley, runs the Timberosa Tree Farm in Pitt Meadows – 10 acres of Christmas trees, holly and horse paddocks, all in full view of our majestic coastal mountains. Tim and Cathie have owned the property since 2003, welcoming the public during the Christmas season, particularly those questing for real trees and trimmings. Cathie’s winterberry creations (she also makes a beautiful horse wreath for you equestrian lovers) have quickly become a local favourite and she is going to show us how to make our own in three easy steps. • Tools and supplies: You’ll need an 18- or 24-inch wreath frame, a roll of waxed string, some rustic wire, secateurs and wire cutters. Depending on how dense you want your wreath to be, you will need between 30 to 45 winterberry stems, with the lengths varying between 10 to 12 inches. These will need to have any residual leaves and spoiled berries stripped beforehand; also the branch tips may have to be shortened. Step 1 – Begin by securing your waxed string to the frame and tying the winterberry stems to it in bundles of three. The idea here is to tie-in and bend the lower stems to conform to the frame while still allowing the berried tips to flare out somewhat. Step 2 – Continue the process by overlapping the winterberry bundles and tying them to the frame in succession, carefully working your way all around. Step 3 – Once you’ve tied all the

winterberry sprigs onto the frame, you can use your secateurs to prune the tips in order to create a balanced wreath. Then you can make a hanging loop out of the rustic wire and attach it to the back of the frame. Your homemade wreath should last you well into the new year. • Growing your own: One way to defer the cost of purchasing winterberry stems every year is to have your own shrub. Ilex verticillata really isn’t that demanding,

it just needs plenty of space to grow as an average plant reaches two metres wide by 2.5 to three metres high, at maturity. They prefer a rich acidic soil that is evenly moist and part to full sun (the more sun, the more berries). The female plants produce the berries and two good cultivars include ‘Afterglow’ and ‘Winter Red’, just make sure they have a male pollination partner (‘Jim Dandy’ and ‘Southern Gentleman’ respectively).

The only other thing you may need is some bird netting, as our feathered friends will often pick them clean before you get a chance to enjoy them. That said, your old wreaths can be hung in the garden after Christmas for the Steller’s jays and thrushes to feast on during the cold weather.

Bring your camera and take a picture of Santa and your kids!

Selling your home with Dave and John may mean more money in your pocket when all is said and done. For homes selling under $600,000, our commission rate is a flat fee of $6950 (+ GST). (*) For homes selling over $600,000, our commission structure is 1% of the sale price + $950 (+ GST).

Scholarship to Washington State By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com

aple Ridge runner Nathan Wadhwani realized a long-time goal when he accepted a full-ride scholarship from the Washington State Cougars. The B.C. champion and member of the Golden Ears Eagles track club graduated from Terry Fox secondary in June 2014, and has taken a year off school. Wadhwani’s accomplishments in track and field and cross-country have been impressive. On the track, he won B.C. high school titles in the 1,500m (3:56.14), and the 3,000m (8:38.75) races. “Nathan has already proven he can compete at the Div. 1 level at the Div. 1 distance, as evidenced by his strong showing at the Stanford invitational,” said his new coach, Wayne Phipps. “He also brings with him big meet international experience. Both of these will help make his transition to collegiate running as seamless as you can imagine for a freshman.” As a junior, Wadhwani finished fifth at the Nike Pre-Nationals Cross Country 5k Danner Championship Varsity race. Competing for Team Canada at the IAAF World Youth Track and Field Championships in Donetsk, Russia, he finished 16th in the 3,000m. During his senior season, Wadhwani placed eighth in the 5k high school seeded section at the Stanford Invitational Cross Country

B.C. high school track champion Nathan Wadhwani, competing at the national cross-country championships, has earned a scholarship. meet. He then won the B.C. high school cross country championships, a 6,300m senior race. Wadhwani’s personal best times are 3:56.14 for 1,500m, 8:35.91 for 3,000m, and 14:52.95 for the 5000m. His coach and mentor has been his father, Vid. Nathan chose a coach in Phipps who has a similar philosophy and approach to training. “I felt like, after visiting there, it’s somewhere that I can take it to the next level,” he said. Washington State is in Pullman, and competes in the NCAA first division in athletics. The school was an elite running team in

the 1980s, andis eager to get back to that level, and Wadhwani said he’s happy to be part of recapturing that proud tradition. Wadhwani’s scholarship is 80 per cent athletic, and 20 per cent academic. He plans to pursue a business degree. Last weekend, Wadhwani put in a lacklustre showing at the Canadian crosscountry championships, held on Saturday at Jericho Beach. Running in mud and cold. Wadhwani said he wasn’t on his game, and finished the junior men’s race in 23rd place out of a field of 82. He covered the course in 28:05, while winner Justyn Knight of the University of Toronto ran it in 26.25.

“I blew up at nationals – I was really disappointed with how I ran there,” he said. It cost him a shot at running with the national team in China in March. The conditions were far from optimal, “but everyone has to deal with that,” he said. His training has been going well, and Wadhwani said he feels as fit as ever. That said, he is looking forward to being part of a training group again this September in Washington. “I can go hard every workout, and know where I’m at,” He will have to pick it up a bit at college, going from his routine of running some 140 km per week

up to as much as 185 km for college-level training. The rolling hills and farms around rural Pullman make it a great place for a runner to cover the miles. Nathan appreciates what his father Vid has done for him. “I have a chance to talk to my coach every day. He knows me. We’ve build a pretty good routine,” he said. “I feel like I’ll be ready to transition to university.” As with every great amateur athlete, Wadhwani dreams of running in the world championships and at the Olympics. But first comes a college career. “The next fives years are crucial to setting myself up for running afterward.”

Maple Ridge players Megan Kinna, Daniela Carey and Ciara Curran, and the head coach was Pat Coyle of Pitt Meadows. In the final game, the B.C. seniors team defeated Texas Tenacity 12-11. The Team B.C. sophomores had a win and three losses. That team included locals Candace McDole, Alexandra Walton, Megan Stewart, Mikayla Quinn, Nicole Pahnke, Ashley Kingsbury and Sarah Ickert. A large contingent of NCAA college recruiting coaches attended each game, scouting Team B.C. athletes. Team B.C. field lacrosse co-ordinator Reynold Comeault of Pitt Meadows said the athletes showed well. “Countless NCAA coaches raved about Team B.C. athletes, pointing out their excellent stick skills and ability to make quick decisions,” he said. “The sophomore team’s first experience with the high-caliber women’s field lacrosse competitions was very much an eye opener. Through perseverance and training sessions the past two months, the girls’ performance improved each minute.” The Team B.C. women’s field lacrosse teams continue to train for the 2015 Sandstorm Lacrosse Festival in Indio, California on Jan. 17-18.

.RIDGE MEADOWS HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

LAUSTRUP, Diana May It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Diana May Laustrup (nee Grantham) on November 29, 2014. Diana was born in Vancouver, B.C. in 1933 and she has now joined her husband of 58 years, Jes, in their final resting place. She will never be forgotten and sadly missed by their four children: Bob (Teresa), Dave (Karen), Chris (Dianna), Lynn and four grandchildren: Carly, Matthew, Wade and Lucas. Diana was trained and worked as an R.N. and an Industrial First Aid attendant before retiring. Her compassion for people carried her through many endeavours and she was very active with Meals on Wheels, Poco Garden Club and the Glen Pine Choir. Predeceased by her brother, Dick Grantham, Diana will be deeply missed by her brother Jack Grantham and sister, Eve Alexander and their respective family members who loved and adored Diana. Please join us for a celebration of Diana’s life, on Monday, December 22, 2014 at 12:00pm at First Memorial Burkeview Chapel, 1340 Dominion Ave, Port Coquitlam, BC. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Hannah’s Heroes (BC Children’s Hospital) or the Alzheimer’s Association

SKUCE, Donna Bernice (nee Davison) April 16, 1939 - Nov 29, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Nan, sister, aunt and loving friend to many, after a sudden illness. Donna passed away peacefully with her family by her side. She is survived by her son Vance (Jackie); daughters, Paula, Leslie (Pat), Mercedes (Kathy), Lisa (Gary); granddaughter Shayla; brother Jim (Alma), and niece Eleanor. She is predeceased by her loving husband Les Skuce, son Danny and sister Dorothy. Donna was a dedicated loving mother, confidant, generous, caring friend to many. Her greatest joy was her garden, cooking and baking for friends and family, and cutting hair. She spent her lifetime as a hairstylist and was still working 2 days a week up until her sudden illness. No service by request. In lieu flowers, donations to Christine Morrison Hospice, Mission, BC would be greatly appreciated. The family would like to thank Ridge Meadows Hospital emergency staff, 3N, and Christine Morrison Hospice for all their loving care of our mom, and a special thank you to mom’s angel Christine McDonald for being there when mom needed her.
