Jaw inspection
Firefighters Adam Seward and Rob Bruce inspected jaws of life equipment recently at Maple Ridge’s Fire Hall #1. The department currently has 15 paid-on-call recruits who are halfway through their training portion of the program. It takes a year to complete the training and probation segments to become a full-time paid-on-call member.
Federal election
Candidate admits to conviction
Liberal party knew Mandeep Bhuller was caught drinking and driving in 2003. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com
Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller said he made “one seriously bad choice” that led to a drunk-driving conviction. The federal Liberal candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission was sentenced in 2005, given a $800 fine and one-year driving prohibition for a 2003 drunk-driving charge. “I made a serious mistake,” Bhuller said. “I’m embarrassed by it.” Court records reviewed by Postmedia Network indicate he was pulled over by police in Maple Ridge on Nov. 29, 2003 and charged with impaired driving.
He fought the charge in court, but was found guilty on March 29, 2005. The day he was pulled over he had taken some muscle relaxants for back pain and later had two mixed drinks while out with friends, Bhuller explained. He said driving after having two drinks was “a serious lapse” and “very dangerous,” but it’s the only brush he’s had with the law. “It’s not who I am… It’s what I did,” Bhuller said. The Liberal party said Bhuller, who is now in a wheelchair and no longer drives, disclosed his conviction during the party’s vetting process and was accepted regardless. Bhuller said the party allowed him to decide himself whether he would continue as a candidate. “I’m hoping the public, voters will see my dedication to com-

munity service,” he said. President of the Liberal riding association for Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission, Brian Rice, said the issue is “very personal” for him as his mother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 16. Rice wouldn’t have supported Bhuller as a candidate if he felt he was glib or not sorry about his conviction. Not only the local riding association, but Liberal Party of
Canada, was aware of Bhuller’s conviction during the vetting process, said Rice. That included the central campaign committee for the province. “We’re a party of second chances,” Rice said. “We don’t believe in lock ‘em up and throw away the key.” Liberal party spokesman Brad Zubyk confirmed the conviction was disclosed. “There was openness and contrition,” said Zubyk. “There is no way this is a bad man.” The past behaviour of other federal election candidates was in the spotlight Wednesday as Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff dumped a Quebec candidate who called aboriginal people “featherheads.” A star Conservative candidate, meanwhile, has come under fire for his remarks on whether Canada has conquered poverty.

Come midNovember, Pitt Meadows’ residents will definitely see a new face in the mayor’s seat. Current Don MacLean mayor Don Pitt Meadows Mayor MacLean announced this week that he will not be seeking an eighth term on council. He is now in his fourth term as mayor. He told the TIMES that it was not a terribly difficult decision to not run again. “Every time I do something, I tend to ask ‘why am I doing this?” he said. “We have accomplished so much so in order for me to continue there would have to be so much planning. So many projects are going to be finished by the end of 2011, so it just seemed like the right time.” Before MacLean says goodbye in November, he will be able to view the completion of some major projects in the community, including the South Bonson Community Centre, Pitt Meadows Arenas, the seniors pavilion, the Youth Action Park, and a new library. After voters go to the polls Nov. 19 for a municipal election, MacLean and his fiance will probably travel south for a bit, and he still has his insurance business to focus on. Beyond that, he hasn’t made any definite plans yet. He acknowledged that it will be hard to leave politics behind him, even though he has lots to look forward to. “I tell people I’ve always been a bit of a political junkie,” he said.

Stave P3 rejected Mission District Council narrowly rejected the option of a private public partnership (P3) to develop a new water supply source at Stave Lake, following a lengthy meeting on Monday. After listening to four hours of public input – most of it against the P3 plan – council defeated the option by 4-3 to apply for a federal grant of up to 25 per cent of the project from P3 Canada to develop the water source. • More online: www.mrtimes.ccom, click on “News”

Boyd Mason, project manager for the Ruskin Dam upgrades, was set to oversee replacement of three generators at the powerhouse.

Dam upgrades part of review
BC Hydro says it needs a rate increase to pay for a $6billion capital plan to rebuild aging generating stations. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com
All options for Ruskin Dam, from the cost of revamping it to decommissioning it, are on the table as BC Hydro goes through a review process. BC Hydro will have to justify its efficiency, business operations, and administrative expenses to a three-person affordability panel that is conducting a review of the Crown corporation. “As we go through the review, we will look at the Ruskin Dam to ensure that the eventual decision minimizes the cost and maximizes the benefit,” Rich Coleman, Minister of Energy and Mines told the TIMES. The three-person panel, announced on Thursday, has a far-reaching mandate that includes examining BC Hydro’s financial performance, administrative expenses, and procurement processes. When he became minister, Coleman said he wanted to

know how the Crown corporation operated. Coleman said that BC Hydro hasn’t had an “outside set of eyes” review the Crown corporation for a long time and that BC Hydro welcomes the review. Setting up the panel had nothing to do with the utilities commission’s application, he added. BC Hydro president and CEO Dave Cobb said the review will provide a “fresh and independent look at all of our expenditures and the way we conduct our business.” He added that BC Hydro needs to make sure they are “operating as efficiently and effectively as possible.” On March 1, BC Hydro filed an application seeking to increase electricity rates 9.75 per cent per year over the next three years, an accumulated 32 per cent. That application was suspended by Victoria over concerns the rate hikes were excessive. The proposed cost of upgrading the Ruskin Dam were estimated at around $800 million and was announced at the

same time as the application was made to raise rates. The 90-year-old dam hasn’t had upgrades since the 1950s. The dam has been rated as “poor to unsatisfactory,” according to Boyd Mason, the Ruskin Dam and Powerhouse project manager. The dam has “reliability issues,” according to “Our goal Mason, but the upgrades is to find would not the right increase its balance...” output, which Rich Coleman is maximum 105,000 kilowatts. The panel’s recommendations will form part of an amended BC Hydro rate application to the B.C. Utilities Commission. “Our government’s priorities are to create jobs, build our economy and support families,” Coleman said. “Our goal is to find the right balance between investing in our hydro system, while keeping rates as low as possible for B.C. families.” The panel, which was appointed by the B.C. government, is scheduled to report back by the end of June.
Matthew Colin Wolfe, 26, was nabbed at his parents’ Pitt Meadows house less than 24 hours after his photo was released to the media. The young man was arrested without incident at about 8 a.m. last Friday, and is accused of registering stolen trailers and selling them on Craigslist. He faces a total of 36 charges as a result of the allegations. Ridge Meadows RCMP said they Matthew Wolfe were acting on an Wanted for trailer theft anonymous tip to arrest Wolfe. He was one of 10 people identified last week as part of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team’s (IMPACT) top 10 list. Two out of those top 10 suspected car thieves are now behind bars. The second alleged thief to be nabbed, 26-year-old Christopher Henry Horkey, has a taste for highend cars – based on his last arrest in a stolen 2006 Jaguar. He was arrested without incident in Surrey. “The count is now two down and eight to go,” noted RCMP Sgt. Gord Elias of IMPACT. Elias said the team’s goal is to get all 10 in custody by the end of April. The burgeoning theft of about 500 trailers a year in B.C. prompted Solicitor-General Shirley Bond to declare a bait-trailer program similar to the successful bait-car tactic. The highly effective bait-car program, which has dramatically reduced the number of auto thefts in B.C., has been expanded to include trailers. “This is a message to you car thieves,” Bond warned. “Before you think about stealing a trailer in B.C., you should know we are adding this new tool to our tool kit.”

Jim Gilbert was showing Faith, a stray hound-cross picked up in Maple Ridge three weeks ago, the kennel spaces at the new SPCA shelter. Faith seemed to approve. Meanwhile, shelter manager Mark Vosper loaded in boxes to the new lobby, which will have a “soft opening” this weekend as equipment and animals are moved over.

Old shelter slated for demolition Staff, volunteers, and animals will move into the new SPCA facilities in Albion this weekend. by Maria Rantanen
mrantanen@mrtimes.com
A demolition crew is set to arrive at the old Maple Ridge SPCA shelter on April 18. This week SPCA staff is busy getting animals and equipment moved over to the new facility before the wrecking ball hits. Mark Vosper, general manager of the Maple Ridge shelter, said staff at the shelter are “very, very excited” about moving into the new building. “When we see the anmials with better conditions, it perks everyone up,” Vosper said. Because the old shelter was so small, the Maple Ridge SPCA had to rely on a lot of foster care for animals. “The staff and everyone care so much for the animals that they hate to turn any-
one away,” Vosper said. The new shelter will be about three times bigger and will be able to hold about three times as many animals at a time. With a larger facility, there will be two new full-time and two new part-time employees. During the transition time, there have been fewer animals at the shelter. The only dog staying at the shelter was a hound-cross, Faith, who was picked up as a stray in Maple Ridge. The new shelter should be fully operational by the end of May when a grand opening is also planned, Vosper said. The new building will be healthier for the animals, Vosper said, with improved air circulation and ventilation, which should cut down on upper respiratory infections in cats. The new 6,500-square-foot Maple Ridge shelter is on track to be the first gold LEED-certified shelter in Canada, he said. The shelter is being built next to the old one on Jackson Road. When the old shelter is knocked down, the space will be used for a parking lot. The District of Maple Ridge and the BCSPCA each provided $1.87 million in funding for the project and the BCSPCA will pay for 50 per cent of the land value the new shelter will sit on.

On Sunday, a 36year-old prisoner died of injuries sustained in a fight between two inmates at the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre on May 19 of last year. Blair Cody was rushed to hospital after being involved in what police called an “altercation” with fellow inmate, Alexander Tanasescu, 28. Cody fell into a coma and his condition continued to worsen. Tanasescu was charged with attempted murder, but police expect more serious charges to be explored. “We have been involved in this investigation from the start, said RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “With the matter going before the courts, I will not comment on the details,” she added. “Crown will be reviewing their case to determine if there will be any additional charges or any upgrades to existing charges.” Dunlop said this process may take several weeks.

Piloted off-peak rates designed to draw drivers.
Transportation
Tolls aimed to change habits Many commuters are choosing cost over convenience, making the longer trek to the Port Mann Bridge instead of paying to cross the Golden Ears Bridge. That’s why TransLink announced Monday that it will be cutting tolls by 30 per cent during off-peak hours. It’s an attempt to attract more toll-paying drivers to take that path north and south, said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie. “We want to try and attract more of the trips to the bridge that should be using the bridge,” he said. “These are trips that could be done more efficiently going over the Golden Ears than the Port Mann.” The discounted fares, which are only a pilot project at present, will run for six weeks beginning April 15. It will start at 7 p.m. and run until 5: 59 a.m. Monday to Thursday, and last all weekend beginning at 7 p.m. Friday. Of course, those taking the Port Mann as an alternative route around will change their methodology come 2013, when the toll is introduced on the new Port Mann.
But in the meantime, TransLink is trying to change driving habits sooner, than later. “There will come a time when we know it’s going to be busy in those peak periods,” Hardie said. “When it does, we’ll have a tested mechanism to even out the demand throughout the day.” Hardie denied a suggestion that TransLink is dropping fares after getting heat from the private consortium behind the bridge, Golden Crossing Group. In February, Postmedia Network Inc. reported the $800-million bridge was falling far short of expected toll revenue. The bridge brought in about $24,000 in tolls each day in 2010. That’s $10,000 to $15,000 less than expected. The consortium, which built and operates the bridge, is not paid per passenger, Hardie said, but in direct payments from TransLink. Hardie has said TransLink budgeted for a four-year shortfall in revenue. The Easter and May long weekends will also see the reduced tolls.

Rotary Club
Wine fest nears sellout
Rising sun
Heading into the final hours of preparation for the 16th annual Rotary Wine Festival, organizers are hoping for a sellout event. Meadow Ridge Rotary Club is hosting its annual fundraiser at Thomas Haney Secondary, 23000 116th Ave. again on Saturday night, and committee chair Laura Cherrille anticipates upwards of 270 people in attendance. All proceeds from this annual event go to local projects and groups supporting the arts, culture, heritage, and environmental initiatives, she explained.
Samuel Robertson Technical School students Rachel Pitt, Sammy Nuque, and Alyssa Davies, sporting “The sun will rise again in Japan” T-shirts, helped sell baked goods on Wednesday to raise $225 for the earthquake-stricken country. The fundraiser continued Thursday and Friday as well. Maria Rantanen/TIMES
Cherrille hopes to surpass last year’s fundraising total, which was about $16,000, dividing this year’s earnings between a dozen local causes. As the name implies, this event includes wine and beer tasting, live entertainment, a culinary showcase featuring food from local restaurants, as well as a live and silent auction. Tickets are $40 and still available from local Rotarians, from their website: www.meadowridgerotary.ca, or through the ACT booking office at 604-476-2787.

Our View
Driving issues safely home Revelation of Mandeep Bhuller’s 2005 drinking and driving conviction on charges stemming from 2003 raises a host of issues germane to the current federal election campaign. The obvious connection to the general election on May 2 is, of course, that Bhuller is the federal Liberal Party’s candidate in the Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission riding. Before we even explore how voters might respond to this week’s news that Bhuller was fined $800 and prohibited from driving for a year – six years ago – there are some basic philosophical questions to address. For instance, it’s clear that the Liberal Party of Canada has accepted Bhuller’s indiscretion: “There was openness and contrition,” said Liberal party spokesman Brad Zubyk; “There is no way this is a bad man.” Forgiveness is divine, after all. Most British Columbians, it seemed, were willing to quite quickly forgive thenPremier Gordon Campbell for his 2003 drinking and driving arrest, which became an international incident. On the other hand, Campbell apologized publicly immediately and admitted his guilt, not contesting the charge in court. And Campbell, as a provincial politician, never had a direct hand in the maintenance of the federal Criminal Code – something that Bhuller would have, if he were elected MP. We have no doubt that Bhuller is a decent fellow who has worked to make up for his mistake through exemplary community service. But the optics of the thing remains. Drinking and driving is not just a criminal offence, it is downright dangerous. And whether or not Bhuller and the Liberal Party of Canada realize how serious the offence is, the reality is that there are still too many Canadians who do not regard drinking and driving laws with the seriousness they deserve. When someone in or seeking public office – especially an office with as high a profile as Member of Parliament – it does not help to bring home to everyone how critical – indeed, how deadly – an error it can be to have a few drinks before getting into the driver’s seat of a vehicle. – B.G.

Drinking and driving promise
Dear friend taken too soon Dear editor,
On March 6, I turned 21. A time for celebration, a milestone for young adults all over the world. On March 8, I remembered Amanda Woodthorpe. A year ago, I made a phone call. I’ll never forgot the words, “Tell me it isn’t true.” A year ago, I lost one of my closest friends in a car accident. A year has passed, and though I’ve become another year older and another year wiser, I still think about her every day. A beautiful 19-year-old forever caught in a grad photo, a big smile on her face and a bright future in her eyes. Unfortunately, I’ll never get to dance with her at her wedding. I’ll never get to watch her dad give her away, or see her mom hold Amanda’s first child. I’ll never hear her laugh, or see her smile. She was supposed to be the godmother of my first-born child, the favourite aunt.

Sign of times
Dear editor,
Hmm, very interesting. I opened to the first page of the recent TIMES, and promptly noticed the West Coast Train Bus is reducing services, and the Cythera Thrift Store is expanding to open another store. Sign of the times? I think so.
S. Mark, Maple Ridge
You see, I was 10 years old when I met her. I was a gangly pre-teen who had not a friend in the world when I switched schools. She was the first person to make me laugh, and year after year no matter what had happened, she was there. Her family taught me a lot about love, taught me more than I’m willing to admit about patience and forgiveness. Death is never easy. What makes it tougher is the circumstances, the people and the decisions that led up to her death, and the decisions or lack thereof people make afterward. In a perfect world, drinking and driving would end. Cars would automatically shut off if their driver blew over. In the real world, people get behind the wheel when they can’t see straight and think it’s perfectly okay. As a big sister, as a new driver, as a friend, a girlfriend, a daughter, an employee, a cousin, I can only look out for myself and those I love. I never want to hold the life of anyone else in my hands. I made a promise the day Amanda died: I will never drink and drive. I’d like to see the community step up and take the same kind of promise – if not for themselves, for their families and loved ones. Don’t make a stupid mistake. Not a day goes by where I don’t miss Amanda. But she’s gone, and she’s not coming back. Rest in paradise, A.W. Miss you.

Federal politics
Tories don’t own government Dear editor,
What has happened to our MP Randy Kamp? I would have thought that your scathing editorial [It’s still our government, not Harper’s, March 11, TIMES] would have brought Mr. Kamp out of the woodwork to comment on Mr. Harper’s recent order to federal government departments to commence identifying themselves publicly not as agencies of the Government of Canada, but as agencies of The Harper Government. Perhaps your description of this development as “manipulative politicking” has scared him off. Clearly Mr. Harper, Mr. Kamp and those of their supporters who still cling to this sinking wreck of a once-proud political party, have lost their perspective here, again.
They have forgotten that they are elected public servants. They work for us. They are not free to change the name of the Government of Canada for any reason. Perhaps they have become confused by their own rhetoric given that we are always being told that we should look at government like a business. Clearly Randy Kamp and his people think that they are now the “owners” of the government and so they feel free to “rebrand” it at will. I have news for them. The Government of Canada belongs to the people of Canada. We have (however mistakenly) elected them into power.
Philip Gray, Maple Ridge

Transportation
Lower bridge tolls all the time Dear editor,
I believe the problem with the Golden Ears Bridge not making enough money is that the tolls are too high. If they were $2 each way, more people would use the bridge and ultimately it would make more money. I also believe that if all bridges and tunnels from Chilliwack to Horseshoe Bay had $2 tolls, TransLink would soon have all the money it needs. I think most people would be OK with these lower tolls. Any higher is too much.
Daniel Garrett, Surrey
Dear editor,
So now TransLink is knocking back the Golden Ears toll by 30 per cent. TransLink is usually trying to find more ways to take your money, not give it back. They must be starting to figure out that bridge was a huge waste of money, but that’s how TransLink is build it and tell us we need it. Hopefully they will study and think things through before building on a whim in the future.
Shawn Storey, Surrey

More than 30 per cent of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows citizens volunteer their time in the community. For this, they’re being recognized this weekend as part of National Volunteer Week. Two volunteer appreciation events are planned for Sunday, hosted by Volunteer Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. A pancake breakfast will be served at 9 a.m. at Red Robin Restaurant in Maple Ridge with Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin helping to serve. At 1 p.m., Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean will show his appreciation at a social featuring live music and Starbucks donated goodies at Meadow Gardens Golf Club. The last survey that was conducted showed 34 per cent of the Maple Ridge population volunteered and 33 per cent of Pitt Meadows residents volunteered. All volunteers are invited to the events no matter where they have been volunteering. “Volunteer Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows is an advocate of volunteerism and as such would like to say thank you to volunteers on behalf of ourselves, our member organizations and our community,” said Ashley Singh, community volunteer developer with Volunteer Maple RidgePitt Meadows. Singh said there are many reasons people should donate their time. It improves one’s health and is a “satisfying

Carla and Jason Banbury (couple on left) from Maple Ridge and Garet and Michelle Myden of Pitt Meadows on a recent Caribbean Cruise with a stop in Labadee, Haiti. They took a copy of The TIMES newspaper on their cruise. And since chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVIC) treatment is not yet available in Canada, Maple Ridge’s Linda MacDonald recently travelled to Costa Rica for the treatment aimed at helping people living with multiple sclerosis. During the trip, she posed with a copy of her hometown newspaper.

Cycling
Rides highlight local businesses The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows chapter of the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition will be offering riding tours in the area to help locals get acquainted with neighbourhoods they don’t normally visit. Organizers are hoping Discovery Bike Rides will help cyclists discover neighbourhoods and routes they haven’t used before. During the rides, cyclists will also visit local businesses. The first Discovery Bike Ride takes place this Saturday and leaves from Big Feast Bistro at 11920
Troy Landreville/TIMES
A local cycling group will be organizing Discovery Bike Rides around Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. 227th St. in Maple Ridge at 10 a.m. This ride’s first stop will be at Rainforest Design on 240th Street close to the old Albion Ferry, a local company that designs and manufactures kayaks and
velomobiles. From Rainforest Design it’s only a short ride to Kanaka Creek Coffee, a neighbourhood coffee shop owned and operated by long-time Maple Ridge residents. They offer cof-
fee, tea and other drinks including fruit smoothies. The ride winds back to Big Feast Bistro around noon. Each Discovery Ride will include interesting and/or tasteful stops. All participants have to sign a waiver, so riders should show up 15 minutes before the ride begins. Children under 18 are welcome to take part, but they must be accompanied by an adult who’s responsible for their safety. Helmets are mandatory by law and riders must stay in single file. Organizers are also looking for suggestions on future rides. More information is available from Jackie Chow at jchow23708@yahoo.ca.
Pitt mayor reflects on his political tenure …continued from page A1
“I’ve met every prime minister since Pierre Trudeau, and every premier since Bill Bennett,” he laughed. “It’s all been very pleasant.” He is proud of the accomplishments council has made through the years, and said he still gets excited attending council meetings. “I’ve been involved with the Osprey Village project since the mid-’90s,” he said, “and I’m proud
of the protection of farmland in our community. If you look at it 21 years later, it doesn’t look a whole lot different.” MacLean stressed that the mayor doesn’t do the job on his own. He’s thankful to have worked with some “great council members and an incredible City staff that has shared his dedication to Pitt Meadows.” He hopes the City continues to grow, and that future councils look
at the importance of transportation systems, and keep in mind the “small but important things,” such as parks, public art, and the library. He will stay in the community, but won’t be present at many council meetings in the future. “I think I’ll probably miss not knowing what’s going on, on the inside,” he said. “I’m going to explore the concept that there is life after politics.”

The Fraser Valley Potters Guild promises something for everyone in its upcoming exhibition. “People can expect to see things they have never seen before in pottery or ceramics,” said guild president Pat Schendel. “This is a show of our new work made in the last year, and our membership is very adventurous in new techniques.” She said visitors will be able to view works that have been wheelthrown, slip-cast and hand-built with firing techniques ranging from sawdust, wood, gas, and electric kilns to name just a few. “For anyone who has ever touched clay, they know how tactile and pleasurable it is to work with,” said Schendel. “They yearn to model it, pound it, roll it. Just watch a group of children playing with clay and you will see the pleasure it brings and how natural it is.” Maple Ridge artist Judith Burke will be submitting work for the show, along with Schendel herself. Schendel said people will come away much more informed about pottery, and the show will have a number of highlights, including flame and ash designs in the woodfired work of many members done in the Ombu wood kiln at Burnaby Shadbolt Centre.

The show runs from April 9 to May 7, on Tuesdays to Saturdays from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery located inside the ACT. It will be closed April 22 for the public holiday. A public reception will be held on Saturday, April 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. In addition to the gallery’s regular hours, the works will be on view both Saturday, April 16, and Sunday, April 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the Art Studio Tour taking place at various venues in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The first clue is her pet snake slithering around in a glass enclosure inside her home studio — quirkiness runs in Maple Ridge artist Elaine BoothKallweit’s family. To Elaine, that’s a good thing. Her 27-year-old daughter, East Vancouver resident Kalynn Kallweit, works in the movie industry as a prop maker and is an artist in her spare time. “I get to use my artistic skills a lot in my work,” Kalynn said. Kalynn says her artwork tends to lean towards the macabre, a spillover from being a Gothic girl during her high school years. “I was ‘that girl’ in school who wore all the black with the makeup,” she said. “I had a ‘dread-hawk’ with dreadlocks with the shaved sides for a while.” Needless to say, Halloween was, and still is, Kalynn’s favourite time of the year. “My mom used to pull out the Halloween decorations for my birthday parties,” Kalynn recalled with a laugh. Elaine’s son and Kalynn’s brother, 25-year-old Erik, plays in the Maple Ridge-based ska/ rockabilly/swing band the Bone Daddies. “They’re chameleons, my children,” Elaine said. “They are very creative, very good at expressing themselves.” When she isn’t making props of all shapes and sizes, Kalynn

dabbles in art herself. Kalynn says her mom is a huge influence in many facets of her life. “I think in some ways, a lot of the things I have started to paint more seriously and work on more seriously comes back to the stuff my mom was interested in,” Kalynn said. She explained her most recent work has a “tribal influence” and is very often centred around skulls, stemming from her growing up in a home that was decorated with that style of art, thanks to her mom. “I was known as the bone lady

Elaine, 55, has possessed an artistic bent since she was a young girl and started taking her art seriously in 1990, when she began working in watercolours. Elaine carved duck decoys in the past but now incorporates her carving skills in some of her current paintings. “I’ve always been creative,” she said. “Anywhere from picking up a stick while I’m camping and carving it into a wooden cane or making willow furniture.” An artist’s eye was a requirement in her previous vocation:

And that imaginary hamster wheel in Elaine’s head is always turning, keeping her creative juices flowing. “If I’m driving and I see something, I’m thinking, ‘That might be an interesting subject for a painting,’” she said. Elaine calls herself a “realist” painter: “I tried to do abstracts but they don’t come as easy to me.” Mother and daughter’s artwork will be on display at

Elaine’s house at 12507 216th St. during the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Art Studio Tour, which runs Saturday, April 16 and Sunday, April 17. Elaine’s home studio is No. 5 on the tour, featuring 32 artists in 23 locations. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows artists and artisans will open their studios to visitors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Kalynn will have her “Rib cage Lamp” on display. The sculpture is a shell of plaster and armature wire encasing a glowing plastic “heart” that changes colours courtesy of the electronics work of her friend Gregor Jahn. Elaine is showing her acrylic painting “Wet Alley” based on a photo of an dark alley in east Vancouver split by a puddle. Elaine calls it a “work in progress.” Elaine and Kalynn each have their own websites. Visit www. kalynnkallweit.com and www. elainebooth-kallweit.com.

Questions & Answers
Work today for summer’s blooms Dear Anne,
“I have a healthy Nelly Moser clematis that blooms prolifically, but over the winter it’s an absolute eyesore. It’s a jungle of dead and tangled live wood. “I know she blooms on last year’s wood, and I’m scared to cut it back. She is in a very prominent position. “Should I cut her down after flowering?”
N
Peter Howard, via email elly Moser clematis flowers on new wood as well as old. Last year’s stems produce flowers in early summer and the new stems flower later in summer.
There are two ways to renovate a large and tangled summer-blooming clematis. The first way is to cut all stems down to 30-60 centimetres (one or two feet) from the ground. This saves a great deal of fiddly pruning. Some gardeners do this drastic cut every year in late winter, while others wait till the vine gets quite out of control. There will be no early blooms after this pruning – but plenty of new stems for late-summer ones. The second way gives you early and late blooms. The first step is to cut all the dead stems down to ground level and pull them out of the tangle. If you’re not sure what’s dead (most clematis looks horrible in winter), make a shallow scratch on the stems with a sharp knife before you cut. Brown wood underneath is dead, green is alive. Next, cut half the

remaining live stems down to a foot or two from the ground. They will re-shoot and give you flowers towards the end of the summer. Prune the remaining stems back to healthy-looking buds, leaving these long enough to fit the space where the plant is growing. The longer stems from last year will flower in early summer. All the dead leaves should be removed from the clematis vine. Next year (2012) go through the same pruning steps, except the stems that you left long this year should now be cut down close to ground level, where they will grow new stems for late summer flowers. Meanwhile, the stems which were new this year (2011) should be left long enough to suit the space available, and pruned back to a healthy bud to give you early summer flowers. One last point: the pruning work should be done right away. Once your clematis leafs out, the renovation will be that much harder. Dear Anne,
“Could I transplant a rose in March? I
have an ‘American Beauty’ rose that doesn’t show up too well where it is, and I’d like to put it somewhere else. I brought it with me from another property three years ago, so this would be the second move for it.”
T
Bonnie Coutu, via email
he best time to move roses is November. But February and March also work well. After March though, the chance of a dry spell increases – and roses do like lots of moisture, especially for a few months after being moved. Mulching them with manure or compost will help keep them moist over the summer. Moving roses in spring means much more watering if a dry spring is followed by a long summer drought. But waiting till November can be chancy, because there’s always the chance something unforeseen will prevent you from doing it. I think you should move it while you can.

Campaign
Daffodil sales support people with cancer
Pins are on sale around the community to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows residents can buy daffodil pins locally to help fight cancer. The Canadian Cancer Society
is asking citizens to join the fight against cancer and show support to those affected by cancer by wearing a daffodil pin in April and in particular on Daffodil Day, April 27. “The fact is two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and
one in four will die,” said Brad Beattie, Regional Director for the Canadian Cancer Society Greater Vancouver Region. “We want people who have been affected by cancer to know that they are not alone,” said Beattie. “We want them to know that they are supported and that
there are support services to help along the way.” The daffodil campaign was piloted in B.C. last year and this year it is being launched nationally. Last year more than 400,000 British Columbians wore the daffodil pin. Donations for every pin go
toward support services including programs for individuals seeking cancer information, emotional support and camps for youth and families. Daffodil pins can be found at many locations in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. For a full listing, visit www.fightback.ca.

Roubaix offers competition, challenges Some of the best cyclists in Canada will race on a course in Pitt Meadows Sunday morning. by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com
A scenic ride along the dikes just as spring approaches may sound appealing to many Lower Mainland residents. But cyclists who will descend on Pitt Meadows on Sunday will not be looking for a slow, leisurely ride. Top category 1/2 men will be taking on a 120-kilometre course, while top category 1/2 women will be facing 100 kilometres of both road and gravel racing. Other categories will take on less distance. The race, called Barry’s Roubaix, modelled after the famous Paris Roubaix, is the second annual event, and is presented by the Local Ride bike shop based in Maple Ridge. Steve Devantier from Pitt Meadows is a member of the Local Ride racing team, and will be one of the men tackling the course this weekend. Although he is a seasoned rider, he says this route presents challenges of its own. “It’s a 10-kilometre lap,” he said, “so I’ll be doing it 12 times.” He said the trickiest part for him is going to be the gravel section of the course, which is a significant portion of the race, and to be able to maintain speeds of about 40 to 45 km/h can be challenging. “It’s hard to get some of the speed that the faster guys get up to,” he said. “It’s pretty intense.” “You’ve got to survive that section every single time.” Women’s team member Jean Ann Berkenpas, who has been racing with Local Ride since 2008, agreed with Devantier, saying this course is a little different from most road races. “The corner[s] going up on to the gravel section, [along the dike] is a little bit loose often,” she said. “There can also be a cross wind in that section.” Organizer and Local Ride owner Barry Lyster said some of the challenges for riders include two tricky gravel corners on either end of the dike section, a leg-taxing gravel surface, the threat of tire punctures on sharp rocks, and relentless surges and attacks from various players in the race. Devantier agreed and said racers will strategize within their teams

In the men’s category, riders have to take on the 10 km course 12 times, so pacing will be very important from the beginning. to try and tire other riders, and get their strongest riders to finish the race in a top position. Even though he has been roadracing for six years and riding bikes in general for 11 years, he said he will likely be one of the worker cyclists on Sunday, as the competition is fierce. “Some of these guys, all they do is ride their bikes,” he said. “I’ve worked my way through by placing top five in a race and getting points. Now I’m up in category two, I no longer make the podium,” he laughed. Berkenpas said this kind of commitment is a full-time job, and she is only taking part in a few road races this year to focus on mountain biking a little more, but she is grateful to Local Ride for the opportunity to be part of a women’s team. “Barry’s always supported women’s racing,” she said. “This year he’s really taken it a step further with the team.” Racing starts at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, and will end around 2 p.m. with the finishes of the feature events — the category 1/2 women and men’s races. Fans will also have the opportunity to cheer on future stars during the U17 youth race that starts
In the men’s category, riders will complete the 10-kilometre course 12 times. The top women competitors will have to complete 10 kilometres. at 10:30 a.m. “The easiest way for spectators to get a front-row view of the race action is if they make their way to the start/finish area at Pitt Meadows Airport under their own power,” said Lyster. “They won’t have to worry about parking, plus they will have access to the best viewing spots on the course.” He stressed he is keen to keep the event as car-free as possible, but if spectators do plan to arrive by car, there is no park-
ing along Airport Way; parking will be in the airport’s overflow parking lot. “[People] will have the opportunity to see some of the best riders in Canada,” said Berkenpas. “It’s a local race, but they are going to have some really highcalibre athletes there.” “It’s a pretty neat opportunity to see some high-quality racing.” For more, go to http://www. localride.ca/wp/2011/02/05/ barrys-roubaix-2011/

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and luck continue at a major high. (Though a problem with authority emerges Monday.) Don’t start any new projects or relationships before April 23. Capitalize on past or ongoing people and situations. You might revisit a foreign country or refocus on a lawsuit, return to abandoned studies/courses, or “find religion” again. This is an excellent time to sum up your life, to contemplate how you got here. (But it’s not a good time to set your new direction – yet.) An old friend or employer returns. Romance, luck, creativity soar Monday night to Wednesday! Taurus April 20-May 20: Communications, travel and errands frustrate Sunday/Monday, but there are a couple of lucky gems/moments both nights: perhaps just a feeling that you’re doing things right. You might find a treasure chest of nostalgia! A legal or moral dilemma might face you early week. Chasing or establishing good principles “saves” you. Your luck is smooth and strong on home, domestic, property and security fronts Monday night to Wednesday noon. Love, beauty, romance lure you Thursday/Friday. Tackle chores or health concerns Saturday. Remember, start nothing new and significant before April 23. Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes come true, especially about former friends, loves or old, longheld wishes. An old flame either appears or occupies your thoughts. Start nothing new before April 23 – revel in the past. There are always problems to solve, adjustments to make, even when wishes are fulfilled. Early week highlights a problem with sex or “net worth” in relation to a happy possibility. Next week, a romantic or creative “depression” (anything from caution to skepticism to simple delay or age differences) can oppose another happy outcome. But these are adjustments, not refusals. Happiness lives!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing new (before April 23) but do reap the past, especially in career, ambition, prestige and business areas, where your fortunes are buoyant! A “new” project can be luckily birthed here, especially early week, but don’t try to gain the co-operation of partners or peers. (“New” = restarting a former opportunity; e.g., landing a job with a former boss.) Your money luck rides high Tuesday/Wednesday. Perform paperwork, errands, travel, return messages Thursday/Friday. The whole stretch, Monday eve to Friday night, is smooth, easy, productive. Be quiet, home-bound Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Rest, contemplate, connect with spirit and soul, be charitable, Sunday/Monday. Your energy, charisma and luck surge upward Monday night through Wednesday. You’ll impress people. Express feelings. Love could start, perhaps with a former flame or flirtatious friend. A wedding is written on this one. A legal development could come through, also. In all these, make sure the past is an essential ingredient – start nothing brand new before April 23. Your sexual, intimate, financial, debt and investment zones are enjoying good luck. Health and work hindrances dissolve, freeing you to act. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing new before April 23. But do grab, use, enjoy, accept, even search out the past, especially in financial, investment, debt, intimate, sexual, commitment, lifestyle, health, research, diagnosis, detective, occult and similar areas. (Occult means hidden, not weird.) What you do now could change your life in major ways – perhaps by re-establishing a former condition, or taking you back to a way you left long ago. E.g., you used to own a home, then wandered for 15 years, and now you find/buy a home again. Failure in these Monday, Saturday. Success other days!
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Partnership stuff heats up all April. An ex-spouse (or former boyfriend) is seeking you, might find you. Destiny and/or God has a hand in this. (We think heaven and destiny are far away, far above, but both exist inside. The door’s small, but once you turn the handle, it grows large.) It looks like this is someone who wants marriage, rather than mere romance. If this person does show, it will be true, deep, but a bit tumultuous – can you take it? Be ambitious Sunday/Monday: chose between potential and security. Wishes, popularity, joy visit midweek! Retreat Thursday/Friday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new before April 23. A former job might return – attached to bigger money. A health matter might return, also, but to be cured. Yes, do buy a machine if it is one you bid on or examined before late March, but DO NOT buy anything you just now see. Either it’s a lemon, or you won’t need it. Relations with someone attractive continue to be sweet, gracious (until about April 20) – this could burst into “open merging” June onward (into 2012) – or it could prefigure a great money opportunity, same timing. Ambition’s lucky midweek! Hopes, happiness Thursday/Friday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Start nothing new before April 23. You’re lucky, happy, creative and romantic all April! Something big might happen in child-related, speculative, sport-related, creative or romantic zones. Or, something small but filled with big growth potential might be born (centering on Monday eve/night). It’s an odd time: you can opt for casual, fun-filled, travel stuff, or you can go for the big stuff. Both are lucky, but one, of course, has bigger consequences. All growth now is connected to the past, nothing brand new. Monday-Wednesday significant. Wishes “speak” Saturday.
Apr. 10 - April 16 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing new before April 23. Your luck continues high in security, property, land, family, soul, nurturing, gardening, landscaping, sales territory, foundational and similar areas. Re-do your life, stand up again! Big stuff here, best in years/decades! Start “new” projects closely tied to the past (or continue with the ongoing). E.g., you contemplated buying that house on Elm Street a year ago, and regretted letting it go, and now it’s available again – buy it. But DON’T move into a new place before May 10 – domestic friction would result. Communications remain sweet. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Everybody’s doing big things, but you can’t seem to make up your mind! That’s OK, probably even beneficial. Start nothing new before April 23. Keep romantic suitors waiting a bit. The only things you should be pursuing in April are travel, errands, paperwork, friendships and wishes. The last two are significant, might be a door to big future things. Make friends, make wishes, chase your optimistic plans – but make sure these somehow link to the past. E.g., a former social circle, a childhood wish. Exciting meetings Tuesday/Wednesday! A 15year “money road” is starting. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Start nothing new before April 23. But do “renew” or restart something connected to the past, if you see it. (Might show Monday night.) It involves money, possessions, status or school. Your luck is running at a 10-year high in these areas – to June, so don’t waste time – but save brand new projects and plans for late April, May. Watch your spending carefully – don’t spend recklessly! You glow with a subtle sexy magnetism now – someone might chase you. Your future is wide as the ocean now to mid-century. This year, choose ambition, NOT security. Work succeeds midweek. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
