Salvation Army

Big leap for Caring Place leaders

Despite their love of Maple Ridge, Kathie and Ed Chiu are willing to take on the biggest challenge of their careers.

Comments sought on Albion plan An exclusion application to pull out farmland from the flats might be drafted before the municipal election.

They came to Maple Ridge as a family of five, but when Kathie and Ed Chiu move to Ontario in a couple months time they will leave behind 13 family members. The Chius have been given “farewell orders” from the Salvation Army after serving in Maple Ridge for 17 years and overseeing the expansion of programs and services to the town’s down-andout population. The Chius will be moving to London, Ont. with their two youngest children, leaving behind their adult son, adult twin daughters, two sons-inlaw, and eight grandchildren. But they have been presented with what they describe as a huge challenge – overseeing the Centre of Hope in London, which includes in one agency almost the same number of major social agencies that exist in Maple Ridge. The Centre of Hope includes a 267-bed shelter, a medical detox centre with 18 beds, 100 transitional beds, a family health team with doctors and nurses, and a food bank. Kathie said she and Ed are “overwhelmed” by the task ahead. “We’re quite shocked the Army would entrust [such a] huge responsibility on us,” she said. Kathie said she and her family love Maple Ridge

Caring Place leaders Ed and Kathie Chiu have been stationed in town since 1996, and are credited with creating Maple Ridge’s first homeless shelter. and when she and Ed retire, they plan to return. “I’m totally going to miss the community network,” Kathie said, adding that there is a willingness among the local social agencies to co-operate and not be territorial. Ed added there’s is a “mutual encouragement” among service providers that makes their work easier. But as ordained pastors of the Salvation Army, they have committed to go where they are asked to – with some negotiation, Kathie explained. “The Army has treated us very well,” Kathie said. “There’s no reason for us to say ‘you can’t move us’.” The Chius moved to the Lower Mainland in 1990 after being stationed in Saskatchewan for two years, and they have been stationed in Maple Ridge since 1996.

Caring Place who were enmeshed in a life of drugs and prostitution, and she knew she was planting a seed in their lives that would help get them back on their feet. “What a greater privilege can there be than speaking words of life into their reality,” she said. Both Kathie and Ed are from Toronto, and the return allows them to be near Ed’s aging parents. Moving back east will also mean a cultural adjustment, Kathie said. On the West Coast, people work to live, while in the Torontoarea, people live to work. She said their family has adjusted to the more laid back lifestyle and wonders how people will react when she and Ed aren’t always in their Army uniforms – a cultural shift she hopes to lead out east.

Maple Ridge council is looking to meet with the Agricultural Land Commission to discuss the Albion Flats. Council is ready to send a draft Albion concept plan, and all background information, to the ALC with hopes of meeting within the next couple months and resolving the issue of the property in the Agricultural Land Reserve before a fall election. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said council wants to find out “what they like about [the plan], what they think might work and what won’t.” He hopes that during the meeting the land commission will give some direction to council so they know how to move forward. That way, if they do submit an exclusion application, it will be a “strong proposal.” “That face-to-face dialogue, that’s where you can get some meaningful discussion,” Daykin said. Depending on when the commission can meet, Maple Ridge council hopes to consider their comments sometime between July and September. If so, a public hearing will most likely be held in September with an exclusion application coming before council in early fall.

Federal election

Tory and NDP support edges up

Sixty per cent of voters cast ballots in the Pitt MeadowsMaple Ridge-Mission federal Peace park addition? riding. What’s OnLine

A piece of land next to Memorial Peace Park that was dedicated as a space for a hotel has come under reconsideration by Maple Ridge council. An open house will be held on May 16 to present the option of integrating the parcel into the park in downtown Maple Ridge. There is some money left over from the infrastructure grant used for downtown development that could be transferred to the park project, said Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin. • More online at www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”

Even Randy and Ruth Kamp’s grandchild was applauding Monday night at Randy’s campaign office, when grandpa was declared victorious for the fourth time in a row. The Tory will once again serve as MP for Pitt MeadowsMaple RidgeMission.

by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

While an orange crush swept some parts of Canada on Monday night, the blue wave picked up momentum in the riding of Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission. Randy Kamp, the Conservative incumbent MP received 54.3 per cent of the vote, 2.52 per cent more votes than last time in the 2008 election. Kamp received 28,803 votes from electors in the three communities, up from 26,512 votes he received in the 2008 election. Kamp joins a majority Conservative government that won 167 seats in the House of Commons with a new NDP opposition made up of 102 MPs. The Liberals were reduced to 34 seats from 77, and the Bloc Quebecois dropped from 49 to only four seats. British Columbia now has 21 Conservative MPs, 12 NDP MPs, two Liberals, and the first Green MP, party leader Elizabeth May from Saanich-Gulf Islands. Kamp said he’s spoken with a few Conservative colleagues since the election. “They’re all pretty excited about the possibilities and stabilities it brings,” Kamp said. Not having to plan for another election within a year or two “makes an MP’s job easier,” he added. Being a part of a majority government won’t change how Kamp will work at the local level, he said.

Mark Strahl, the former executive assistant to MP Randy Kamp was declared winner of the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding early in the proceedings, and finished with 28,153 votes and more than 57 per cent of the vote. Strahl worked for Kamp since the latter

was first elected in 2004, and before that worked for MP Grant McNally. The NDP candidate finished a distant second with 12,665 votes and the Liberal candidate received 5,317 votes. Strahl celebrated not just his win but the national Tory success. “We are very excited about the Conservative majority government,” Strahl said. “Locally we worked hard. We didn’t take anything for granted and it looks like the people have responded to that and I’m happy to go back to Ottawa as their representative.”

Like in the actual federal election, Randy Kamp would be MP if students could have voted, but the margin between him and his rival NDP candidate would have been narrower. During Student Vote, a program organized by Elections Canada, students at seven schools in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and four in Mission, gave Kamp 35.8 per cent of their vote whereas he received 54.3 per cent in the election. NDP candidate Craig Speirs received 31.1 per cent of the student vote compared to 35.5 per cent in the election. Green candidate Peter Tam received 21.9 per cent from students while he received five per cent in the May 2 election. From students, Liberal candidate Mandeep Bhuller received 11.2 per cent where his actual result was 5.2 per cent. Half a million students across Canada cast their ballots in the Student Vote and these resulted in a minority government for the Conservatives with 128 seats, 113 seats for the NDP, 48 for the Liberals, five for the Bloc Quebecois, and five for the Greens. The actual numbers were 167, 102, 34, four, and one, respectively. Holly Burrows and Sarah Fruean organized the student vote at Pitt Meadows Secondary this year. They also arranged to have the four candidates come into the school and speak to the students on their issues.

Brandon Christensen and Nigel Marshall, Grade 10 students at Westview Secondary, voted in Elections Canada’s Student Vote on Friday. While all the candidates spoke well to the students, Burrows said Tam was able to relate to them and build a rapport given his experience as a Scout commissioner. “He really communicated when he spoke,” Burrows said. Students study government in social studies at school, Burrows said, but they don’t always relate the information to real life. Having the Student Vote event helped them gain a better understanding of the political system. The election is supposed to mirror a real election, but it’s up to each teacher’s discretion to allow their students to come to the library to vote, said Paula Cyr, who organized the vote at Westview Secondary.

Six teams rode the Heart & Stroke Big Bike in downtown Maple Ridge last Friday, raising $15,478. Starting out the day was the Haney Place Walking Club, known also as the Royal Hearts – which is a group of locals, many of whom have survived heart attacks.

“The money raised will go to fund life-saving research, award-winning health promotion programs, and advocacy initiatives right here in Maple Ridge,” said Gillian Yardley, Tri-Cities/Fraser Valley area manager with the Heart & Stroke Foundation of B.C. and Yukon. Other teams riding the bike were the Pike Place Peddlers from Starbucks, the Molicel Hearth Throbs from E-One Moli Energy, the ABCs of the Heart (made up of parents and staff from Alexander Robinson Elementary), Winners

from Pitt Meadows, and Dangerous Curves (a group from the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Curves). Many of the teams were dressed up for the Big Bike event. The Royal Hearts, which included Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission returning member of Parliament Randy Kamp, as well as Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Michael Sather, were wearing crowns and dressed in royal garb to celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton that was happening the same day.

A gaping hole was left when Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) suspended operations in Maple Ridge in February. Now a group, which formed prior to the suspension, has given themselves a new name and is trying to get the local BBBS reinstated. Rick Howard The organization operated largely on gaming funds according to Rick Howard, co-chair of the new Coalition for Kids Sake. “A number of kids in Maple Ridge were receiving Big Brothers Big Sisters services and now, no more,” he said. The Abbotsford office, which ran satellite offices in Maple Ridge and Mission, have identified what Howard said are the 13 most important files, and are willing to service those from Abbotsford. But more kids and families need help, and Howard said this group is a necessary service in Maple Ridge. When the local chapter was suspended, co-chair Patricia Anderson said the group got together right away to circulate a petition since the Abbotsford office told them community support was not present in Maple Ridge to keep that office open. “We proved to them that the community support was there,” she said. “The awareness just wasn’t there.” “It is such a needed cause,” she added. “There are a lot of single-parent families that really need that.” “We can’t allow our kids in Maple Ridge to not have access to these services,” agreed Howard, who said they want the organization back up and running by June.

Police blotter

ajudd@mrtimes.com

The driver of a pickup truck had to be airlifted to hospital, and is currently in serious condition, after colliding with a highway work truck early Wednesday morning. Commuters on their way to work may have noticed heavy volume on the roads because Lougheed Highway near 240th Street was shut down for four hours. Maple Ridge firefighters had to extricate the driver from the truck, while police began their investigation. Fire chief Dane Spence said his crew removed the roof of the pickup to free the patient, then went to work setting up a landing zone for the air ambulance. “Terrible incident… that underscores

Escaped convict caught Ajit Singh Escaped convict caught

A convict on the run from Maple Ridge made it all the way to downtown Vancouver before he being caught by police. 21-year-old Ajit Singh escaped from the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in by climbing over the wall on April 16.

Just after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, Singh was found in the 100 block of East Hastings Street, and after Vancouver Police quickly learned his identity, he was arrested without incident. Singh was held in police custody until he can be returned to a correctional centre.

Ridge Meadows RCMP believe speed and alcohol might be a factors in a serious crash Wednesday morning.

the dangers of working on the road ways,” Spence said. The road was re-opened for both westand eastbound traffic at about 7:30 a.m. The crash occurred at about 3:10 a.m., when the pickup, travelling east on Lougheed, hit a work truck that had one man inside. The truck was there because crews were painting in the area. The driver of the pickup was transported to hospital by helicopter, while the lone occupant of the work truck was driven taken to the local hospital with minor injuries. Ridge Meadows RCMP said the investigation is in its infancy, but they suspect speed and alcohol may bave been a factors in this crash. Identity of the driver has still not been established. Anyone who witnessed the crash, or has any knowledge of this incident, is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.

Our View

Thanks to all ordinary folks Congratulations and thanks are in order, all around, from top to bottom. But now that we have a majority government back in Ottawa, it is more important than ever to establish who is at the “top” and who constitutes the “bottom” in our national political hierarchy. We’ll start at the top. Congratulations and thanks to all the folks in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows who made the effort to go to the polls, either on election day or through one of the many added opportunities to vote in advance or with special ballots. By rationally considering the issues and choosing the candidates who best suit each individual’s vision for who and what is best for the country, ordinary citizens make the machinery of democracy run, and are responsible for steering Canada into the future. Next up in the congratulatory pecking order are the people – more ordinary folks – who work with candidates and/or political parties during election campaigns (and often between them, as well) to disseminate the messages that voters need to make informed choices. Everyone who takes democracy seriously owes those people a debt of thanks. On the next rung down the ladder are the candidates. Congratulations to Randy Kamp for his convincing victory on Monday. It’s clear that his thoughts and concerns most reflect those of the people of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, but he has a difficult job ahead, knowing that he will have to serve many masters whose personal views differed more towards his opponent candidates’ – all of whom we thank for their time and effort, and for their offer of service to their community and their country. And finally, on the bottom – not the top – is yet another ordinary citizen, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. We congratulate him on his parliamentary majority, and thank him for his past service to our country, and for his offer to continue serving all of the citizens of Canada. It won’t be an easy job to balance the needs and desires of all of the country’s 34 million people. He deserves to know that his employers – all the people of Canada – are appreciative of his efforts. – B.G.

Albion Flats

Build over flooding land Dear Editor,

The recent letter by Ms.Rosenau [Save farms, infill instead, April 26 Letters, TIMES] was interesting but strayed from reality. The reason the Albion Flats is being looked at for commercial development is because the people who own the vacant land in the core refuse to sell it or invest anything to improve it. Much is owned by offshore investors who refuse to do anything and are the cause of our stagnation. Unfortunately the choice isn’t between Albion and the downtown core but between Albion, the Kwantlen lands in eastern Maple Ridge, or the Pitt Meadows property on Lougheed Highway just east of Harris Road. If Albion isn’t developed, one of the others will be, the downtown core isn’t even in the mix. The only choice that will see tax revenue come to Maple Ridge is Albion and for that reason alone council must support

its exclusion from the ALR and welcome the much needed investment opportunity. If the Kwantlen develop their land, Maple Ridge will never be the same. We will become the poster child for urban sprawl. With respect to those who see this as a loss of good farmland, it isn’t. The reason it should be excluded has little to do with the residential development surrounding it, and everything to do with the fact that it has a serious drainage problem: it’s just too wet and the remedy is too expensive. Instead of stalling much needed development in Albion, why not ask why so much other good agricultural land in Maple Ridge is allowed to sit fallow, with nothing being done with it. Answering that question would be much more productive.

Graham Mowatt, Maple Ridge

Stave Lake

No public bailout for water Dear Editor,

Mission residents rejected the $300-million Stave Lake P3 water treatment facility for good reason. The proposal is of no benefit for current residents and will saddle us with debt for decades to come. The proposed new water line doesn’t do anything to upgrade Mission’s existing aging infrastructure, despite evidence there are leaks in the system which will need to be fixed. Instead the costly water line takes a sharp turn west to Silverdale. The proposal intends to give an unknown corporation control of the operations of our water for 25 years or even longer. The costs of water to residents would be tied to the cost of hydro.

Christians have thick skin, Tim Dear Editor,

I was reading Tim Tyler’s column [Nuptials, hockey dwarf election, April 29, TIMES]. Lucky for Tim, we live in a free country where he has the freedom to poke fun at almost anything. Also lucky for him, we Christians are not fanatic as some other religions are, and we are not going to put a death threat on his life after he poked fun of My Lord and Saviour (who by the way also died for him). Lucky for me, he is risen from the dead. But would it be possible for Tim and anyone else to have some respect for feelings and beliefs of other Canadians? Oh, and by the way, Moses’ house rules are also rules here in Canada, you shall not kill, you shall not steal or gossip about others. And Jesus’ rule: Do unto others what you want done unto you. Really, Tim, if you have nothing better to do, do not write at all.

Geeske de Boer, Pitt Meadows

This, at a time when hydro rates are skyrocketing, means higher water costs for residents. Simply put, the Stave Lake P3 proposal is a public bailout intended to save developers in Silverdale and Abbotsford hundreds of millions in infrastructure costs, and we haven’t even been told what the sewer costs will be. Citizens Against Urban Sprawl Society (CAUSS) believes that Mission should learn to live within its means rather than forcing growth at any cost. We simply cannot afford the massive infrastructure costs associated with sprawl-water. A truly sustainable community must live within basic economic and environmental limits, and must ensure that the public interest is not overridden by corporate agendas.

Axe pot laws Dear Editor,

I was at an all-candidates meeting recently and my incumbent Conservative MP Randy Kamp was asked about all the new prisons and the law. He made it clear that people who break the law should be in prison. As far as I know, 52 per cent of Canadians want pot legalized, and I believe the figure for B.C. is 68 per cent. But it’s against the law. I wonder how you are going to feel when your mother or father or son or daughter is put in one of our brand new jails for smoking a product that is as common as booze – never mind the fact that it will cost Canadians more than $300,000 a year to keep them there. The Conservatives are so out of step with Canadian values on so many issues such as ethics, pot, global warming, public health care, civil rights (G20), etc. A Conservative majority should be a frightening thing to most Canadians. It was painful to watch as a minority government.

Wayne Clark, Maple Ridge

Enduring corsets, tuxes on stage

Maple Ridge Christian School builds its most elaborate set ever for a period play on stage this weekend.

WATER MAIN FLUSHING

by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com

Students have been getting lessons in good posture at Maple Ridge Christian School. This has been in anticipation of their latest theatre production which is set in a time when clothing was much more restrictive than the casual garbs worn today. The play in two acts, Little Women of Orchard House, is written by David Longest, and the school’s theatre arts teacher Reg Parks is in charge of the production. The play is an adaptation of Little Women by Louisa M. Alcott and introduces the playwright to the audience as a char-

Maple Ridge Christian School wraps up a production of Little Women of Orchard House this weekend. acter. The play takes place during the American civil war, and learning to walk and act in period costumes – floor-length ballroom dresses with corsets and tuxedos – presented some challenges for the 34 actors who are students from Grades 2 to 12. The students had to be fitted and tucked, Parks said, and they had to get used to cumbersome and stiff clothing and how to move in it. But the students have enjoyed wearing the period clothing, Parks said,

because it’s so different from what they wear today. The set is a house that was built by the parents and takes over the school stage. “The set is probably the most elaborate we’ve done by far,” Parks said. Little Women of Orchard House runs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with a matinee on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. Maple Ridge Christian School is located at 12140 203rd St.

The City of Pitt Meadows Public Works Department will be ﬂushing water mains throughout the municipality for approximately twelve weeks beginning March 21, 2011. During this time there may be a temporary drop in water pressure or a noticeable discolouration in tap water. To correct problems with milky water, open the cold tap slightly to bleed air from the water lines. If you experience problems with dirty water, turn on an outside tap and let it run until the water clears. The City thanks residents for their patience during this routine maintenance of the water mains. If there are any questions or concerns please call 604-465-2434.

Cycling

Race the Ridge hits town this weekend Residents can enjoy two days of world-class bike racing starting Saturday May 7.

“Registration is going very well and the Category 3/4 men’s field is almost sold out,” said Lyster. “Race the Ridge is also a B.C. Team qualifying event for the Western Canada Summer Games, so we’ll have lots of up-and-coming stars out there.” Spectators are welcome at all events, with the Golden Ears Time Trial, a 22-kilometre course, going from 8 to 11 a.m. on Saturday in Golden Ears Provincial Park. The racers will head north on the road from the park entrance and turn around at the 11-kilometre mark, attacking the challenging rolling terrain in an attempt to log the fastest time. The start/ finish area and race hub is located near the park entrance. Saturday afternoon will see riders head down to Maple Ridge for the Town Core Criterium, which is multiple laps of an 800metre course, taking place from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. The race will start and finish on McIntosh Avenue at 224th Street. On Sunday, the Thornhill Road Race will start at Thornhill Elementary School, and will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.. The riders will make multiple laps of a 10kilometre course, which Lyster said is “hilly and grueling.” For those still interested in racing, pre-registration is open until today at 6 p.m. at at www. karelo.com.

Maple Ridge will resemble Paris during the final stages of the Tour de France in just a couple of days. Cyclists from all over Canada will be taking part in three events that will form the ninth annual Race the Ridge, and aside from the races there will also be free entertainment that is suitable for the whole family. “Race the Ridge will mark the debut of the Local Ride/Dr. Vie Superfoods+ women’s team and we’re really excited to have Laura Brown and Steph Roorda back from world cups,” said Barry Lyster, manager of the squad, race organizer, and owner of Local Ride Bike Shop in Maple Ridge. “They are looking forward to racing in a very competitive elite women’s field,” he added. Brown is the reigning Race the Ridge women’s champion, even though she raced on a different team last year, and is a national track cycling team member, and a world cup medalist. Now she is hoping to get a first-place finish with the Local Ride team. “The riding in Maple Ridge is amazing,” she said. “There’s nothing like being on your bike. You just take it all in, you push yourself.” That is exactly what Brown will be doing this weekend, which she sees as an excellent opportunity to train for what she hopes will be a spot on the Canadian women’s team pursuit on the track at the London 2012 Olympic Games. “We have a lot of hard work to do, it’s not going to come easy that’s for sure,” she said. “But it’s definitely within reach.” Brown said that events such as Race the Ridge are some of the best training for cyclists like herself, and she is hoping for the lowest overall time between the three events so that she can keep her crown. She said what will affect her most is the weather. “I spent the whole winter in the sun and I went on a Caribbean cruise for a vacation with my family,” she laughed. However, she is confident in the Local Ride/Dr. Vie Superfoods+ women’s team, and said she wants to defend her title, but overall be on a winning team.

Things to watch for

Laura Brown is racing with the Local Ride /Dr. Vie Superfoods+ women’s team in this weekend’s event.

No doubt that will be the goal of every cyclist this weekend.

Where to go

There are three events in total: the Golden Ears Time Trial on Saturday morning, the Town Core Criterium on Saturday afternoon, and the Thornhill Road Race Sunday morning. “I’m especially excited about the Town Core Criterium that takes place at prime time on Saturday evening,” said Lyster. “This event is a must-see, especially for people who have never experienced elite competitive cycling action up close before. These skilled men and women hit the corners so fast, it’s incredible.” The Town Core Criterium is Race the Ridge’s feature event set in downtown Maple Ridge on an 800-metre course that contains five corners, including two 90-

degree turns, a chicane, and the hallmark Haney Place hairpin. There will also be a free kids’ race. “The kids’ race will be held right after the elite women’s and before the elite men’s races, which means our champions of the future will get to share the spotlight with some of the country’s top cyclists. These kids will get to race on the same road as their Canadian cycling heroes. How cool is that?” asked Lyster.

Don’t forget to cheer

The town core will be bike and pedestrian friendly when the races take place from 3:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, so spectators are asked to walk or roll their way to the best viewing points on course. “Fans should also remember to bring cowbells, noisemakers and a strong set of lungs to encourage the athletes. The louder you cheer, the faster they tend to go,” added Lyster. In the elite men’s race, Local Ride Racing’s Richard Machhein and Zach Young will take on the top guys, which will be no small feat, with top provincial teams like Trek/Red Truck Racing, H&R Block, and Garneau Evolution set to attend.

Lyster provided some basic road racing tips for spectators to help get the most out of the weekend’s events. If a rider’s teammate is up the road on a breakaway, his or her teammate may not chase him or her down. If a breakaway is reeled back in, then expect another team rider to counterattack. Each team’s highest placed rider in the overall classification will be “protected” by his or her teammates in order to save him or her for the final sprint or the decisive stage on the last day. Riders will be using drafting techniques to save energy and a well-organized team will set up a lead-out train on the final lap in attempt to catapult their key rider to the finish line. Cycling is a numbers game, and riders are always trying to pare down the field in order to make their odds of winning better. Some team riders have the role of workers or “domestiques.” These riders are not expected to go for the win and have the assigned task of wearing out other competitors in order to make the chances better for their team leader. In the overall scheme of things, the results of the domestiques don’t matter to the team. Residents can see all these strategies in action and more at the various races this weekend.

Season begins

Tennis kicks off

Adults and children came out last Saturday to kickoff the tennis season in Maple Ridge. by Amy Judd

ajudd@mrtimes.com

As the weather warms up and people start flooding outside to enjoy the sun and fresh air, tennis seems like the perfect summer sport. Maple Ridge Tennis hosted its opening day on April 30, and the season runs until early October for adult players, and until the beginning of school in September for kids. The club has been going for 30 years, with coach Malcolm Lissone at its helm, and last year 70 kids, and 55 adults played. “The more you play the better you get,” said Lissone. “It’s very good exercise, and it’s an excel-

lent way to meet people.” This year on July 17, all the kids will play a rookie tour, which Lissone described as a non-elimination tournament, so whoever is ahead in the games is the winner. On Saturday, both kids and adults were given the chance to get to know each other, and start hitting a ball around on the court again before Lissone gave a lesson and started teaching some new skills. He said the club is increasing in members every year, and one of the key aspects to the experience is learning how to keep a rally going. The club plays on the courts located behind Thomas Haney Secondary, at 11445 232 St. Youth pay $35 for the season, adults pay $45, seniors pay $35, and the family rate is $70.
