our position that we have no intention of divesting ourselves of our interest in our joint asset. We also wish to remind you that multi-jurisdictional control of an airport is not unique to Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.” The letter from Pitt Meadows to Maple Ridge cited frustrations with the two cities failing to reach consensus in two areas.
Along with a new anchor in Walmart opening soon, Haney Place Mall also has a new owner. Smart Real Estate Investment Trust bought the downtown Maple Ridge mall from Narland Properties, a Vancouver company, effective Thursday. “I think it shows a real confidence in the downtown. I think bringing in Walmart in there was a real game changer. We’re looking forward to seeing what kind of retailers SmartREIT can bring into the downtown mall,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read. Walmart is expected to open this fall after renovations. The company said that buying the mall and opening Walmart in the former location of Target, “will help enhance the downtown retail environment.”

Pitt wants airport control Maple Ridge rejects request to give up share By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
Pitt Meadows city hall has been rebuffed in an attempt to take over sole control of the airport. On July 29, the day before the Pitt Meadows Airport Society’s annual general meeting, the City of Pitt Meadows asked Maple Ridge to relinquish control of YPK. The
two cities are members of a society that appoints a board to operate the facility. “That letter really took us by surprise,” said Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read. She contacted as many members of her council as she could reach, and heard a consensus that, “We have absolutely no intention of relinquishing control. “This is a long-term asset that is of strategic value to Maple Ridge,” said Read. “And it has great economic potential going forward.”
Read responded by letter the same day: “Our council was looking forward to engaging with Pitt Meadows council and the board of directors towards a new vision for the our airport. The airport is a regional asset. Further, major industrial and residential areas of Read Maple Ridge are in very close proximity to the airport and are affected by airport activities,” she wrote. “As such, we remain clear in

Camp needle exchange worker quits Was cautioned about working too many hours B y T i m Fi t z g e r a l d tim.fitzgerald@mapleridgenews.com
A growing camp on Cliff Avenue is now without its needle exchange program after the employee covering the region quit on Saturday. Dr. Liz Zubek runs her practice on Cliff Avenue and said the homeless camp that has taken root there is becoming an increasing danger to its residents and neighbours. She’s not surprised the needle exchange employee quit. “The need is there and he kept being asked to go more and more places,” said Zubek. “The city called him, even though he’s not a city employee, and asked if he could do an extra day on Cliff Avenue. So he’s being called from everywhere to increase services, and he’s just one man.” Linda Fletcher-Gordon, program director for the Lower Mainland Purpose Society, which operates the needle exchange program on Cliff Avenue, said the employee quit without notice on Saturday. Fletcher-Gordon said the employee was repeatedly cautioned about working past the required 35-hour work week. “He was working 10 hours a day because he wanted to,” said Fletcher-Gordon. “I was cautioning him all the time, ‘You can not be working more than 35 hours a week because you are driving a van and you need to be rested.’ He would stay out there if people called him or wanted service. There wasn’t a lot I could do around that except to caution him.” The society is scrambling to fill the position as soon as possible. “I am trying to sort out the mess now. We’re left with no notice, no nothing. So I am trying to sort this out. I’m doing the best I can,” said
THE NEWS/files
A doctors whose office is next to the homeless camp on Cliff Avenue claims it continues to grow. Fletcher-Gordon. While Zubek was skeptical of the city’s initial plan to tackle homelessness, she has kept quiet for the past two months, giving the mayor and her task force the benefit of the doubt. However, Zubek said the camp continues to grow, despite claims by city officials otherwise. “I hear news reports saying things are stable, but that’s not what we’ve seen in the last three months,” she said.
She’s noticed a spike in overdoses recently and thinks it attributed to a crowding camp that is faced with the threat of vigilantism. While she hopes there is a temporary shelter set up soon, Zubek said that would address only about two-thirds of the campers living on Cliff Ave. She said the remaining are homeless who have been outside so long they wouldn’t go inside given the opportunity. She said the city needs to provide them with
an safe area where they can set up and feel protected by bylaws and the RCMP. “Where they are right now isn’t safe for anybody,” she said. Maple Ridge Mayor Nicole Read said the camp on Cliff Ave. is not growing. She said the city takes a head count there each week and the number of homeless on Cliff Avenue has remained static at 32 tents and 60 individuals.
Caribbean Fest takes root at Albion grounds By Neil Corbett ncorbett@mapleridgenews.com
They were working with a new site and a new date this year, so organizers of Maple Ridge’s Caribbean Festival were relieved when the crowds returned to the 15th annual event. “Generally, I think we totally exceeded our expectations,” said committee chairman Deddy Geese. The crowds came back for jerk chicken, curried goat, steel drums and Bob Marley classics. The new location at the Albion Fairgrounds this year created more room for vendors, room for a larger Marley main stage, and lots of space for festival goers to spread blankets on the grass. Geese said at about 6 p.m. on Satur-
day the crowd started to swell, building until the performance by headliners Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band. He estimates there were between 4,000 and 5,000 fans for the Saturday night show. “That is overwhelming. That is mission accomplished,” said Geese. Throughout the weekend, he estimates about 15,000 people attended the event. There were estimates of 18,000 having attended when the event was in the Memorial Peace Park downtown, but Geese said 15,000 is conservative, and the attendance was similar. “It shows me that the site and the concept works,” he said. He already has some ideas for next year, including the possibility of RV
parking and camping at the site. He has also been contacted by the Vancouver Carnival Association about the possibility of having a Caribbean Festival parade through the downtown on Saturday morning to kick off the event. It would include “your typical Brazilian, Caribbean costume groups.” “Then we bring a component to the downtown, to liven the area up,” Geese said, adding that talks are still preliminary. He said Saturday’s intense heat may have hindered the crowd, but the weather is always a wild card. “You have no control over rain, or stinging heat.” While the concert was free, parking was $2, with a portion of those funds going to sports teams who volunteered.

before. When it comes to the number of criminal charges that police lay as a result of their investigations, the number has dropped in the most recent year. In 2014, RCMP in Maple Ridge charged 700 adults compared to 937 in 2010. In 2014, RCMP in Pitt Meadows charged 115 adults compared to 116 in 2010. The same trend is evident when considering the number of youths under 18 years of age charged. In Maple Ridge, 34 kids were fac-
ing criminal charges in 2014 compared to 72 in 2010. In Pitt Meadows last year, 14 youths were charged. When it comes to youth crime, the 2014 provincial rate of kids charged (between 12 and 17 years old) per 100,000 is 1,191. In Maple Ridge, the same statistic is half that – 520. In Pitt Meadows, the rate of kids charged between 12 and 17 years old is closer to the provincial rate at 1,021. Ridge Meadows RCMP didn’t want to comment on or explain the numbers.

a period of five years, between 2010 and 2014, the numbers hovered in the 7,000 range – between 6,165 incidents in 2013 to a high last year of 7,392. When expressed as a rate per 100,000, Maple Ridge experienced a rate last year of 9,136 incidents per 100,000 population – versus a province-wide rate of 8,631.

more than 30 bicycles at the camp. But after checking records and reports, none were found to be stolen. We are aware that there have been public concerns there is stolen property at the camp, including bicycles,” Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said. “Since the camp has started up, a number of bicycles and bike parts have been seized as recovered stolen property.” Reuniting property
owners with their stolen or lost items depends upon proper identification of the item. “Police may use a detailed description, and/or the serial number to identify property using the Canadian Police Information Centre database.” She’s advising everyone to record the serial numbers of valuable items and to grab a quick photo, as well. Other theft prevention tips:
• using good quality bike locks applied properly; • store bicycles inside a secure area of your home; • remove the seat or a wheel if possible, • if leaving your bike in the back of a vehicle, secure the bike with a lock to your vehicle; • never lock your bike with the front wheel only, preferably a u-lock and a cable lock; • use two locks if possible.

Cause of dog’s death unknown newsroom@mapleridgenews.com
How a pit bull that attacked a newspaper carrier last week died is uncertain. Sarah Metzner, 15, was attacked on 117th Avenue as she was delivering newspapers July 24. The two-year-old dog jumped through a screen door, clamped its jaws on to Metzner’s left hand and wouldn’t let go until a police officer attempt to pry open its grip with a baton. The dog died shortly after, but police say they
Flats still in play Mall from front
“Maple Ridge is a beautiful, dynamic community and we are delighted to invest in Haney Place Mall,” said Huw Thomas, president. “We are focused on continuing to bring great shopping choices and experience to residents.” SmartCentres had considered a land-swap deal with the City of Maple Ridge in order to develop a mall on Albion flats, at 105th Avenue and Lougheed Highway. However, it gave up on that option earlier this year. Read said that council wants to talk later this year with SmartREIT about former related land holdings or interests in the Albion flats. SmartREIT was formed in April when Calloway REIT bought SmartCentres and turned it into a real estate investment trust. However, the Albion properties are still owned by original SmartCentres owner Mitchell Goldhar and Walmart Canada rather than the new Smart-
don’t know exactly how, adding that the SPCA would know that. SPCA, however, say their role was limited in the incident. “Respectfully, I will send you back to the police as to how their constable dispatched the dog,” SPCA chief enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty said Thursday. Moriarty said when SPCA arrived on scene the dog was already dead. But the SPCA never took custody of the dog, REIT. Most of Albion flats is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, which prevented development of the entire area, although the Agricultural Land Commission has said it is willing to exclude land on the east side of 105th Avenue. Council will discuss what kind of development ultimately will be most suitable for the Albion area, but there’s no question that commercial space is needed, Read added. But she doesn’t want a big anchor tenant. The retail market is changing, she added. “I think it’s something we need to talk about.” With the existing and future recreation facilities, “There’s a lot of potential in the flats for what that can be in the community, so that’s what we’ll be looking at. The Ontario-based trust owns SmartCentres, a development company that specialized in big-box malls. Now existing as a real estate trust owning SmartCentres, SmartREIT has a value of $8.3 billion, from malls mainly with Walmart as anchor stores.
which was returned to the owner. “I’m finding it odd, why are the police being like this?” Moriarty asked. “I can’t comment on how their officer killed the dog, presumably, they filed the report.” Some neighbours say the dog’s throat was slit, but Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said no knife was used and that at some point soon afterwards, the dog died. Dunlop, though, said the police report doesn’t
say what exactly led to the dog’s death and that a necropsy is needed for that. “I’m not a vet or a person to determine what that could be. When you look at cause of death, it’s contributing factors. I can only say that it happened during that period of time.” As for the officer’s report, “What it says is the baton was used to pry the dog’s mouth open.” It also says a makeshift muzzle was used to control the animal.

Voter turnoff Prime Minister Stephen Harper has dissolved Parliament, triggering a federal election, although Canadians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19. Now this is somewhat surprising given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign. The question then is why is Mr. Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and backyard barbecues and aren’t interested in what happens in Ottawa? The answer isn’t particularly clear, but obviously Mr. Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks.
“But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue.” But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue. Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics – attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table. After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise. What will that do to voter turnout? We’ll see. – Black Press

Prospects for big B.C. investment VICTORIA – Now that the political backand-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history. Will it actually happen? And is it a good B.C. Views deal or a bad one? Tom Fletcher Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature. “After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.” For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band members could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May. Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.
The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the project agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017. NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.” Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship. Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere. Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal? Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship

LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.
“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more.” Premier Christy Clark Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two mountain ranges. Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

THE NEWS/letters Not so natural? Editor, The News: Have you noticed that virtually all of the natural green space between Baynes Road and Maple Ridge will soon be gone? All views over green space of Mt. Baker coming south on Harris Road from Hammond Road will be obliterated; all views of the ring of mountains, while driving northward from the Fraser River will no longer be visible. The natural habitat for huge flocks of migrating geese and the eagles, herons and coyotes often seen is already laid to waste. Is it too late? Soon there will be a shadowed corridor of buildings and asphalt to reach the Pitt River greenway, virtually isolating it forever. Pitt Meadows, the Natural Place? J. F. Walton Pitt Meadows
Watch cigarette butts Editor, The News: I live in the Rock Ridge area of Maple Ridge and the other morning at 11:10 a.m. I was driving out of my subdivision when a garbage truck passed me at the corner of 240th Street and Shoesmith Crescent. I was shocked to see the worker on the back of the truck had a cigarette in his mouth. All I could think of was “fire” if he tossed his butt when he was finished. What did he plan to use as his ashtray? C. Read Maple Ridge

Don’t feed the bears?
Editor, The News: The solution to the homeless problem, like a lot of our problems, can be found by observing nature. People used to be allowed to feed bears. They would feed the bears because they liked them and thought they were helping them out. There are two main problems. First, many more bears started to show up. Secondly, some of the bears became aggressive and damaged things, made a real mess. The solution is to look at each individual bear. The bears who are too aggressive are shot. For criminal types, we have correctional facilities. Some of the people, for whatever reason, can no longer look after themselves and so are sent to a facility. For people, we need addiction and mental health treatment facilities.
Some of the bears just need habitat. We could buy up some land in Maple Ridge, strip all the buildings off of it and plant forests. But that would be too expensive. There is much habitat outside of Maple Ridge. It is equally unreasonable to expect to build housing locally for all the homeless. This area is expensive. Many of us live here because the even more expensive areas we grew up in are now out of our means. We changed cities, provinces, and even countries rather than live under sheets of plastic or in tents on the side of the road. A quick check reveals houses in small towns all across Canada that can be had for about a tenth of the cost of the average house in Maple Ridge. People move away at all stages of life
to live better. Many homeless and struggling people would do far better in other parts of Canada. Michael Patterson Maple Ridge
Don’t feed the rats? Editor, The News: I had set up a bird feeder in my back yard recently. It attracted wildlife that was a pleasure to see. Then, one day, I noticed a rat scurry across the lawn to feed at the leavings. I had to remove the feeder, as it was unfortunately attracting other pests. Most of us residents know what a Caring Place Maple Ridge is, but the solution to our homeless problem is quite simple: remove the feeder. Julia Garland Maple Ridge
Housing not solution for homeless Editor, The News: We have had much discussion on the homeless camp on Cliff Avenue. Housing is not the solution to the problem, it is at most a temporary bad and dangerous fix and should not even be considered by our mayor and council. I would refrain from seeking
advice from the Pivot Legal Society, as, in my view, it has its own agenda and not the interest of our community. Why do we attack the effects of a problem and not the cause? As long as we do nothing to eradicate the cause, we will always have the problem and waste countless resources.
It appears that the honest law-abiding , taxpaying citizen have no rights or protection The mayor and council should do what they have been elected to do, which is govern. If they are incapable of this, they should resign and call a by-election. Another costly move, how-
ever, maybe cheaper in the long term. The citizens of Maple Ridge and B.C. should petition the premier to enact municipal recall legislation. Then maybe the elected municipal officials would be more accountable. Len Lovering Maple Ridge

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.

Fraser Health is asking breastfeeding mothers for more donations, which are critical in helping premature babies thrive. “We are reaching out to our community papers in Fraser east to help us raise awareness about breast milk donation,� said Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma. “We are seeing dramatic drops in donations in some of our communities.� Those include Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Breast-feeding moth-
ers in Maple Ridge donated 135,929 millilitres (45,614 ounces) of breast milk last year. “Unfortunately, donations are much lower so far this year at only 24,412 millilitres (8,192 ounces),â€? said Juma. So the health authority is trying to get the message out, that human milk is a valuable resource in short supply. Tiny, sick babies in Fraser Health neonatal intensive care units are benefitting from generous donations from across the region, but the need is increasing, and the supply is not. Much like donating blood, donating human milk can be life-saving for premature babies who are prone to infections and illness.Â
Women who are currently breastfeeding can visit www.bcwomensmilkbank.ca and do a quick screening to see if they are eligible to donate any extra breast milk they may have Once they have been fully screened by the provincial milk bank they get blood work done at their local lab. Their doctor is contacted to confirm that both the donating mother and baby are healthy and thriving. Mothers then pump their milk and store it in the freezer in milk storage bags. A minimum donation of 150 ounces [4500 millilitres] is usually required. Every health unit in Fraser Health is now also a milk collection de-
pot. Mothers can conveniently drop off their screened donor milk to the health unit in their own community. In previous years, women had to make their donations in Vancouver.  Fraser Health will ship the frozen breast milk from the milk collection depots to the Provincial Milk Bank in Vancouver, where it is processed and pasteurized. The pasteurized milk is sent back to the NICUs at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial Hospitals to nourish and protect the tiniest and most fragile patients. • For more information on how breastfeeding mothers can make a difference in a baby’s life, visit www.bcwomensmilkbank.ca.

One was strategic planning, the other, composition of the board. Maple Ridge wanted to include the volunteer board that operates the airport in strategic planning, while Pitt Meadows did not. Read also responded that her city has recommended qualified appointments to the board that have been rejected by Pitt Meadows. Murray Day, president of the airport society, said the board is satisfied that it is fulfilling its mandate of developing the airport, and it is operating “in a sustainable manner.� He said the request for Maple Ridge to withdraw did not originate from his group. “The board is happy with the current arrangement,� he said. “The asset, although it sits in Pitt Meadows, is a regional asset.� Day said the volunteer board receives no remuneration, and “we’re there at the pleasure of the two cities, who appoint directors.� He agreed that Pitt Meadows’

He clarified that there is an operating agreement in place with the federal government, and Ottawa would have to be consulted before any part of the airport was sold. He said the AGM generally deals with “housekeeping� issues.
This time, after a hot meeting, the AGM was not adjourned, but was instead recessed until Oct. 29. “The two municipalities want to consult further about their roles,� said Day. “We’ve got some things to think about,� said Pitt Meadows Coun. Bruce Bell. “The two cities will get together.� He declined to speak about his council’s thwarted desire to exclusively control the airport, or what its future plans for the site would be. Bell did say there are businesses from Vancouver airport interested in locating in Pitt Meadows. “Business people have ideas for the area,� he said. “It’s a great piece of land in a great location – who wouldn’t have ideas.� Pitt Meadows Mayor John Becker was unavailable for comment. Pitt Meadows is one of the province’s most active airports, and In 2012 the YPK made the list of Canada’s 20 busiest airports by aircraft movements, in 20th place with 87,000.

Economy hot election topic
HOT summer SALE
NICHOLSTON PERFECT SLEEPER QUEEN $ SET
Harper promises up to $2,500 a year for hiring apprentices By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign. Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year. “Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners. Green Party leader
Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels. The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates. Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean’s magazine. Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada’s role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada’s commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election. Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end Canadian bombing of Islamic State positions. Mulcair would withdraw all military personnel from Iraq and Syria, while Trudeau supports keeping military trainers in place, with both promising increased humanitarian aid.

Goody wins senior championship Swaneset Bay Resort hosts B.C.’s best seniors By Neil Corbett sports@mapleridgenews.com
Tim Fitzgerald/THE NEWS
Gudmund ‘Goody’ Lindbjerg won the provincial over 65 championship at Swaneset Bay in Pitt Meadows on Thursday.
Pitt Meadows Golf Club member Gudmund ‘Goody’ Lindbjerg won the B.C. Super Senior Golf Championship on Thursday at Swaneset Bay Resort. Lindberg shot plus five, with rounds of 71, 75, and 75 for a total of 221. That put him well ahead of second place at 235. The competition is for golfers 65 and older at the provincial level, but is 70-andup for the nationals, which will be held in Medicine Hat, Alberta on Sept. 1. His total also had him tied for third in the Senior Golf Championship, just one stroke out of second, against golfers 55 and older. His putt on the last hole of the tournament from the edge of the green missed by an inch or two, he said, and would have given him a birdie and tied him for second. Brain Van Os, another member of the Pitt Meadows golf club, caddied for Lindbjerg on the day. He said playing with a new putter probably cost him a few of strokes.
“Goody hit the ball well today,” he said. “But his putter let him down a few times.” Lindbjerg is a four-time B.C. Senior champion, in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and has been the perennial club champion at Pitt Meadows. He said he’s happy to headed back to the national championship That event was won by John Gallacher, a Burnaby resident who plays out of the The Vancouver GC, but is a former Pitt Meadows club member. He shot 70, 72 and 74 for an even par 216 total, and won the provincial championship by four strokes. “It’s a great feeling to win this again,” said Gallacher. “It’s great to be in contention and then to win it, it means I was consistent and it’s good to be consistent.” Gallacher was rarely in trouble during his final round, making par on 14 of his first 15 holes. A gorgeous approach on the par-3 16th led to a five-foot birdie putt that all but salted away the victory. “John strikes the ball so well and I’m very happy for him,” said Lindbjerg, who also won the Best Ball competition with Gallacher as his partner.

Burrards drop first game WLA series resumes tonight at Planet Ice By Neil Corbett sports@mapleridgnews.com
The Maple Ridge Burrards lost the opening game of their best-ofseven WLA playoff series against the Victoria Shamrocks 13-9 on Monday night. The league champions from Victoria jumped out to a 5-1 lead early in the game, but by the end of the first period the Burrards had tied it 5-5. Then in the second period Victoria scored five more, three coming
on the power play, and the Burrards lost the pace. They trailed 10-7 after two. Victoria was led by Cory Conway, the game’s first star with an eyepopping 10 points, on two goals and eight assists. Dan Taylor led the Burrards in scoring with a goal and four assists, while three players had four points: Jarret Davis and Riley Loewen both had two goals and two assists, and Mike Mallory had a goal and three assists. Other scorers were Ben McIntosh with a goal and three points, and Coady Adamson and Andrew Murphy each had a goal. Coach Chris Gill told Victoria
media that the Shamrocks enjoyed favourable reffing, upset after one of his players had his helmet ripped off and was punched in the head. It resulted in a double minor, but should have been a major, said Gill. There are three scheduled home games at Planet Ice • Wed. Aug. 5, 6:30 p.m. for Game 2; • Sunday, Aug. 9, at 5 p.m. for Game 4; • Saturday Aug. 15, at 5 p.m. if necessary. Three more games in Victoria: • Saturday, Aug. 8, Game 3; • Wednesday, Aug. 12 for Game 5; • Sunday, Aug. 16 for Game 7, if necessary.

Stovman to play in Canada Cup By Neil Corbett sports@mapleridgenews.com
Maple Ridge’s Michael Stovman hit a great landmark in the career of a young hardball prospect – making the provincial team. And what makes him an even better prospect is the fact that he did it at the age of 16 – he’s one of only three Grade 10 players with Team B.C. for the Canada Cup. That tournament goes in Saskatoon, Sask. on Aug. 5-10. The Thomas Haney secondary student played minor baseball locally until second year pee wee. Now he’s with the Langley Blaze organization, playing
PRESENTED BY
for its junior team, and he tore up the B.C. Junior Premier Baseball League in both hitting and pitching. He was among the top 10 in the league both on the mound and in the batter’s box. As a pitcher he was stellar. He topped in the league in ERA at 1.21, and was second in both wins (seven) and strikeouts. He pitched in nine games, starting seven of them. He won every start, and pitched a complete game in four of them. In 46.1 innings pitched he allowed just 28 hits and eight earned runs. He struck out 39, walking 17. As great as those numbers are, Langley Blaze GM Doug Mathieson thinks Stovman will make his mark with a bat. “I think he’s more of a hitter,� said Mathieson, who heads up arguably the best program for high school kids in the country, having graduated the likes of former Toronto Blue Jay Brett Lawrie and more recently Maple Ridge’s Tyler O’Neill, who is a prospect in the Seattle Mariners’ system. He said Stovman is a left-handed hitter, which is a positive, and he’s “a solid, physical kid,� listed at six-foot-
Contributed
Michael Stovman, coming off a great season with the Langley Blaze, will play for B.C. two and 200 pounds. “He’s a line drive hitter, makes solid contact, and he’s got some strength and power to the opposite field.� Through 25 games, 75 at bats with the Junior Blaze, the corner infielder hit .373 (ninth in
the league) with seven doubles, one homer and 19 RBI, while scoring 17 runs. The RBI total was good for seventh in the league. He moved up to the Blaze senior team, and continued to hit, batting .345 in 13 games,
and also allowed two earned runs in 10 innings as a pitcher. In the pecking order of prospects with the Blaze, Stovman is “right up there,� said Mathieson. “He’s got a good future.�
