Maple Ridge Community Foundation

Army brat’s selflessness lauded Fred Armstrong is glad he put down roots in Maple Ridge because he’s “really come to love this place.” by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@mrtimes.com

oungest in the crowd by far, nine-year-old Kallan Armstrong quickly discarded his Nintendo DS when he heard his father’s name called out by the emcee. After the better part of 25 years spent working, playing, and volunteering in Maple Ridge, Fred Armstrong was crowned citizen of the year this weekend. Saturday’s announcement brought a jubilant 160-member crowd at Meadow Gardens to their feet in roaring applause, and prompted some unwanted tears from one shocked and humbled Armstrong. “I’m just so honoured. I’m blown away,” said the former TIMES publisher. “This is an amazing, wonderful community,” he said when accepting the accolades during the Maple Ridge Community Foundation’s annual gala. “A little part of me is saying ‘they might want to check the counting’,” Armstrong said, questioning if voting was skewed. “By most standards, I’m a newcomer to these parts,” he said, pointing out to a room full of many like-minded community volunteers, including many he felt “more worthy” than himself for acknowledgement. “There was at least one person at every table in that room who could have easily been up there,” Armstrong said Monday, still flustered by the attention and accolades being heaped on him. “I’m still a little bit flummoxed because there’s so many people who do great things in this community,” he said. Over the course of the past quarter century, this army brat who moved around a lot as a child has immersed himself in this town and exemplified all the characteristics of an outstanding community volunteer, and more,

Spence Levan was among the first to congratulate his close friend and fellow community volunteer Fred Armstrong for being selected as the citizen of the year in Maple Ridge. said Bob Shantz, a retiring foundation member who presented the award. Armstrong, whose career has been focused in media, started as a community TV cameraman in Edmonton and moved into community newspapers in B.C. where he held a variety of marketing and advertising positions before becoming publisher. It was late last year that he finally left the newspaper business, in favour of his current post as the District’s communications manager in what he gladly calls his home – Maple Ridge. It’s not just his work in the business community, including a 10-year tenure as publisher of the TIMES, but the hundreds of volunteer undertakings in this

community that earned him this weekend’s recognition. “Fred is particularly adept at celebrating others’ accomplishments and taking great pleasure in drawing attention to those who have dedicated themselves to our community,” added Mike Murray, one of last year’s joint citizen of the year recipients. “He holds those who have demonstrated that commitment in the highest regard. It seems fitting, therefore, that Fred should be [selected] for the citizen of the year award himself,” Murray said.

Golden Ears Bridge

Variable toll rates piloted after hours by Matthew Claxton

What’s OnLine

Service nixed The West Coast TrainBus, which follows the same route as the Vancouver-Mission train, will no longer run on weekends as of June 20. In addition, weekday TrainBus service to Mission will be reduced, but the weekday schedule between Port Haney and Vancouver will remain the same. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on “News”

Lower tolls are coming to the Golden Ears Bridge – for drivers heading across during off-peak hours. After hinting last year that it was looking into alternative tolling schemes, TransLink announced Monday a six-week pilot program starting April 15. All the tolls will be discounted

by 30 per cent from 7 p.m. to 5:59 a.m. every weekday, as well as on weekends starting Friday night, and on statutory holidays. The test period will include both the Easter and May long weekends. That will cut tolls for a car with a transponder from $2.80 to $1.95 during off-peak hours, or from $3.95 to $2.75 for pay-as-you-go. A large truck would see off-peak tolls with a transponder cut from

interesting to see if drivers change their route from the Port Mann Bridge to the Golden Ears Bridge during weekends and evenings. “We will be watching to see if these toll discounts achieve a ‘tipping point’ at which the convenience and time savings are seen to be worth the cost,” Jarvis said. The data from the trial will be studied, and a new tolling structure may be based on any changes that result.

$8.40 to $5.90, or from $9.55 to $6.70 for pay-as-you-go. “We will be interested to see if offering a lower rate at off-peak periods will lead to some timeshifting of trips by current Golden Ears Bridge customers,” said TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis. “Shifting the time of discretionary trips from peak to non-peak periods is one way to make better use of existing network capacity.” He also added that it will be

Parking

Gaming centre hurts area merchants Gamblers’ vehicles are crowding the streets in downtown Maple Ridge. by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

Businesses on 119th Avenue are reporting frustrated customers and lower revenue since the bingoplex expanded. Ken Carlson has been working at The Bookcase for 13 years, and the store has been on 119th Avenue for 34 years, but he said compared to this time last year, his business is down about 20 to 25 per cent. “Especially from my older customers,” he said. “They don’t want to walk a block-and-a-half to pick up books.” Walk across the street to Maple Ridge Town Tailors and the story is the same. Nasrin Nazmdeh has been operating the store for almost seven years, and she said her business is down about 60 per cent compared from this year to last. “Right now it is the start of grad

She said the business has not “I’m not making my expenses,” been in that location long enough she added. “I’m working eight to say if they are losing business hours a day and maybe making now, but they did think that with $20.” the new entrance they might Both business owners say the receive more walk-ins, and that problems increased when the has not been the case.

Resident battles kitchen blaze by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

One Pitt Meadows resident suffered minor smoke inhalation battling a fire that began in his kitchen on Friday night. However, Pitt Meadows assistant fire chief Rob Chatton said the man’s quick actions prevented the fire from spreading to the rest of the house. “The occupant did a good job knocking the fire down,” said Chatton. The fire started at about 6:45 p.m. in a house on Kennedy Road, but by the time the fire department arrived on scene, the man had most of the blaze under control. He had grabbed the garden hose, which was close at hand, and doused the fire with water. “Our crew spent a very short time dealing with some hot spots,” said Chatton.

There was damage to the kitchen, but the fire did not spread. The resident was treated for smoke inhalation on the scene by members of the B.C. Ambulance Service. No other occupants of the house were harmed in the fire.

Lougheed closed

Motorists were affected on Saturday morning, when the Lougheed Highway at Harris Road had to be closed about 45 minutes due to an crash. According to Ridge Meadows RCMP, a man drove his SUV into a taxi cab that was stopped at the light on Lougheed at Meadowtown Centre. Chatton said at first it appeared to be a standard two-vehicle accident. However, when the department arrived on scene, they realized one of the vehicles was a propane-powered taxi. “Some damage had caused the propane to leak out,” said Chatton. The traffic was diverted and the highway shut down for west-bound traf-

fic while the fire department dispersed the vapours into a safe area so they could vent naturally, near the open area of Harris Road Park. “We made sure any flammable sources were taken off, and [we] shut the highway,” added Chatton. While some motorists may have been frustrated, he said, for public’s safety they shut the highway. “Propane is a flammable product,” he said, “and if it did reach an ignition source it could have done a lot worse.” The drivers of the two vehicles sustained minor injuries and were treated by members of B.C. Ambulance. The cab driver had to be taken to hospital for further treatment, but he only sustained non-life threatening injuries. But the driver of the SUV also showed signs of alcohol impairment according to the police, so they asked him to provide a sample of his breath. When the driver refused, Ridge Meadows RCMP arrested him, and he has since been released but

Residents asked to move RVs by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

After storing an RV on his property for nine years, Bob Collins has been told to move it or cover it. Now he is retired and says he and his wife like to use their RV to travel across the country. Although he said no one has complained to him about parking his vehicle where it is now, on March 31 he received a letter from the District of Maple Ridge stating he has two weeks to deal with his vehicle. The bylaw states that residents cannot store recreational vehicles, boat trailers, trailers, or boats that exceed 7.5 metres in length on their property. Collins’ trailer measures about 8.2 metres. He can either completely enclose it in a structure on his property, or store it somewhere else. “I’ve checked around to see what it would be for

more than two weeks. “Off-site is not an option for me,” he said. “It’s not practical. In order to care for your unit, you have to continually maintain it. You have to have power on.” When he purchased the RV, Collins said he had no idea about this bylaw. No one has complained of his RV to him, but he heard of another disgruntled resident in Hammond complaining about multiple RV infractions to the District of Maple Ridge. The bylaw office cannot confirm that however, but did say that although this bylaw has been in effect for a long time, individual cases will only be looked at when they have received a complaint against an individual or property owner. “The offices are responding to a complaint,” said Liz Holitzki, the director of licencing, permits, and bylaws with the District of Maple Ridge. “Residents either have to store [RVs] inside or find a location to store it,” she said. “In certain circumstances, people can ask for more time,” she confirmed. “Each [bylaw] officer works individually

with their clients.” Holitzki stated that all the information is contained within the bylaws – this one is under zoning bylaw 3510-1985. “Seven-point-five metres is the standard across the Lower Mainland,” she said. “If you go into any municipality it is basically the same.” “It’s a difficult situation, but that’s the standard,” she added.

Police blotter

Citizens aid in arrest Concerned and alert residents helped catch a thief on April Fool’s Day. by Amy Judd ajudd@mrtimes.com

Just before midnight on Friday, April 1, some residents in the 22700 block of Holyrood Avenue in Maple Ridge saw a man breaking into parked cars. They decided to confront the man, so they called the police and then a group of them approached him. By the time police arrived, the citizens had effected an arrest of the man, said the police, and the 29-year-old thief was found in possession of items from some of the vehicles he had broken in to. He was also found to be responsible for causing damage to some of the cars. He was remanded in police custody by a justice, and made his first court appearance on Monday, April 4.

Locals stop drunk driver

Two other citizens are also credited with helping keep our roads safer after they managed to take what police call “an extremely impaired driver” off the road on Saturday afternoon. At about 4:20 p.m., April 2, a 51-yearold Burnaby woman was driving east on the Lougheed Highway after crossing the Pitt River Bridge. The two people saw how she was driving erratically, so they called the police, and stopped with her, when the woman pulled over near Allen Way. The concerned citizens managed to keep her there, giving police a chance to investigate. The driver displayed several signs of being impaired, said police, and later provided breath samples that were analyzed at 3.5 times the legal limit.

She will have to appear in court on a later date to answer to the impaired driving charges.

Three iPhones stolen

Police have released a photo of one of the men involved in the theft of three iPhones from Countrywide Communications in Haney Place Mall on March 15. While the clerk was busy with another customer at the store that Tuesday at about 4:30 p.m., a man snuck into the back room and stole three iPhones. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 25 to 35 years old, with a heavy build. He was wearing a blue sports team jacket, possibly Vancouver Canucks, a Canucks hat, blue jeans, a white hooded sweatshirt, and white running shoes. A woman who appeared to be with the man was spotted, and she was described as being Caucasian, and estimated to be 25 to 30 years old. At about 12:20 p.m. on Thursday, March 31, a similar-looking man entered the Countrywide Communications in the 22600 block of Lougheed Highway. The man was with two people, and police believe these two were also with the man on March 15. The trio left when they realized the store’s clerk was suspicious, and nothing was stolen. Anyone with any information in regards to any of these or other crimes, contact Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251.

Our View

Voluntary appreciation Congratulations to Fred Armstrong, this year’s recipient of the Maple Ridge citizen of the year honours. Fred was quite characteristically surprised when the award was announced at Saturday night’s Maple Ridge Community Foundation dinner. Indeed, most people who volunteer their time and efforts so selflessly to the community seem to take it all as a matter of course – just something any community-minded citizen would do, they generally suppose. Consequently, like most exemplary volunteers who find themselves receiving special recognition among their peers, when he went up to accept the award, he found himself occasionally (and uncharacteristically, for Mr. Emcee) at a loss for words as he seemed intent on explaining – mostly to himself, one has to suppose – why he might have been chosen. For as so often is the case among the humble volunteers who seem to populate our fortunate community in such great numbers, there was little surprise and no difficulty in understanding the choice among the many dignitaries and fellow volunteers – many of whom the selection committee must surely have also considered for the honours – who filled the banquet hall, both to honour this year’s top citizen, and to add to the great works done every year by the Community Foundation. Fred, former publisher of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows TIMES, has worked both sides of the community newspaper street locally – and virtually every side of the volunteer community street. While he seemed almost apologetic at having been chosen citizen of the year from among so many volunteers in the community – all who know him – and especially all those who have volunteered and worked alongside him, recognize that the honour is entirely deserved. Like the many great volunteers and exemplary citizens who have been similarly honoured through the past couple of decades, this time it was Fred’s turn to take his bows. And now he’ll probably get right back to work. – B.G.

Federal election

Majority government predicted Dear editor,

Re: None of the above. Thank you, Bob Groeneveld for repeating your column of a few years ago [Odd thoughts, March 22 Opinion, TIMES). After reading it the first time, I was tempted to answer then, but did not do so. Repeating your column now, it gave me another opportunity to reply to your opinion and very timely too, since the federal election has now actually been called. You see, I don’t think much of your suggestion. It is no better than not voting at all, which has loudly and often been proclaimed as voter apathy. All politicians are already well aware of that. There is far better alternative. First, become a member of the party of your choice. You can do that on a year-toyear basis.

Animal lover

Horses don’t suck Dear editor,

As I was about to enter London Drugs’ computer department, I saw and heard a clerk shout “horses suck” right into the faces of an older couple. I went elsewhere for my purchase. Young woman, whatever your problem is, get a grip. I was raised with horses and they are some of the most magical, inspiring creatures on earth.

Jim Thorman, Maple Ridge

But that is only the first step. Next, introduce yourself to your local representative by phone, email, or other means, but best of all in person. These days all politicians are easily accessible, so that is not a problem. You don’t have to agree with everything the party or representative says or does, but now you have the right and the opportunity to say so and make your opinions known. Remember, you will catch a lot more flies with honey than with vinegar. In our case, we support Conservative MP Randy Kamp and stay in touch with him consistently. The result is that he knows us personally and knows that we are sincere with our opinions, including our disagreements and questions, as well as our suggestions. Randy Kamp never fails to answer us, in person, via email, or by phone. Moreover, we know that anytime he deems that we have something worthwhile to offer he will suggest that to his colleagues and Stephen Harper for consideration. The time is ripe for a majority federal government, the Conservatives are the only ones that can deliver on this and in our riding, Randy Kamp is a worthy representative. Anyone who takes the time to get to know him will find him to be a good listener, a kind and thoughtful person, and one who is willing to go to bat for you if you have a legitimate complaint or suggestion. But we should always remember that it is just impossible to satisfy every wish, or fulfill every suggestion.

Stave Lake

P3 deals aren’t in our best interest Dear editor,

Once again we see a P3 (public-private partnership) arrangement being mentioned as a possibility to using Stave Lake as a water source facility for citizens. And, we are asked once again to come out to another meeting to give our opinion. Don’t they know without asking that P3 deals are robbing citizens of publicly owned assets, which should be held inviolate in perpetuity? No further P3 deals should be entertained – a public-private partnership is an oxymoron. Of course the public part involves the use of public lands, water, or other publicly owned assets and are not owned by any government in office. As part of their duties, we expect politicians to look after public assets, not allow

private corporations to make money off them with contracts that run for decades. Such deals show a high level of incompetence of those in office. The private corporations will, of course, make money during the contract time. If they can make money by collecting tolls and various other means, it stands to reason that a competent government could also make money for citizens, would ultimately reduce usage cost, and would not be putting public ownership partly into the hands of private corporations. Certainly, there is sometimes a high monetary outlay at the beginning of a facility, hospital, bridge, or whatever.

Soccer training

Young star learns from Whitecaps Pitt Meadows resident Daniel Stanese qualified for the U17 world cup this year after playing for Canada in Jamaica.

On Deck

Locals in tryouts Two local residents have been invited to attend a football camp held over the Victoria Day long weekend. Thomas Kravjanski from the Ridge Meadows Knights, and Sergio Cabrera from the Pitt Meadows Marauders are part of 132 players who have received an invitation from Footabll BC. This is to determine the team for this year. The mini-camp will take place May 21-23 at SFU. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on “Sports”

Daniel Stanese’s love of soccer stretches back to a very young age. He has been playing the game since he was five, and at a high level since he was 11. And he wants to go all the way to the top. He seems to be on that upward climb already, as he recently played with the U17 national team in Jamaica, and after winning a silver medal in the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) qualification tournament, he will be heading with the team to the U17 world cup in Mexico in June. The second-place finish was Canada’s highest ever in the competition. Stanese, who plays centre-back, is also playing in the Whitecaps FC residency program, which is designed for players who want to play in the major-league team, or on soccer teams abroad. He was picked up last September, after scouts spotted his talent at the 2010 Canadian U16 All-Star Championship in Sherbrooke, Que. “I guess I played well enough so they offered me a two-year contract,” he said. “All the guys on the team are great,” he added, “and people can see you play, see you on the Internet, and see what you can do.” For the 17-year-old Pitt Meadows resident, he said he would like to play for Stuttgart, but his first choice would be a contract with the Whitecaps. “Canada is a great place to live,” he said. Due to his commitment with the Vancouver soccer team, Stanese now attends Burnaby Central and will graduate in 2012. He used to go to Pitt Meadows Secondary. “I’m barely at school because of all the travelling I do,” he admitted, but that’s okay with him as that is one of the best parts of his life right now. “I get to miss school,” he laughed. “That’s nice.” Despite his lack of presence in the school building, Stanese is no slacker. “I practise every weekday,” he said. “Basically eight days a week because sometimes we practise in the morning and then later in the day.” He also takes a coaching clinic in the mornings, for which he can earn extra credit. He knows that playing in the Whitecaps residency program will give him the leg-up that he needs to go far in the sport. “I like it because of how intense it is,” he said, “and it’s better than being at a club.” Being only 17 years old, Stanese said that now is the time he needs to hone his skills, so that he can be picked up by a professional team while he is young.

Five medals won Two members of the Ridge Meadows Racers speedskating club competed at the CanadaWest competition. Justin Cross and Annie Russell brought home five medals from the first-ever CanadaWest speedskating competition in Kelowna, held the last weekend of March. The two local skaters competed against skaters from five provinces and territories. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on “Sports”

Daniel Stanese hopes to play soccer professionally one day, whether in Canada or overseas to gain more experience. “I need to get more intense training at this age,” he admitted. Little seems to phase the young soccer star in the making however, and he just takes each day and situation as it comes. Even the intense Jamaican heat wasn’t too hard for him to get used to, and he also has the benefit of already

("#!0 %4&( 8*2$"&8 + 4: 6! ;,7 !''

playing in other climates. “I adapted pretty nicely,” he said. He does wish that more money could be put into soccer programs in Canada, especially at an older level. “With Canada it’s all hockey,” Stanese laughed.

The men’s Simon Fraser University lacrosse team, featuring locals Branden Bloom, and Max Weselowski, is at its season’s mid-point. This is the seventh season under co-head coaches Jeff Cathrea and Brent Hoskins, and the Simon Fraser University men’s lacrosse team has passed the mid-point of their 15-game regular season schedule posting an overall record of 4-5. Weselowski has set a new school record for face-offs. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on “Sports”
