Police are tight-lipped as they continue the investigation into the shooting of businessman and former Maple Ridge councillor Franz Prokop. Ridge Meadows RCMP received

a call just after noon Saturday from a man in Albion who said he had been shot. The call came from a property on Lougheed Highway just east of 240th Street, after which the highway was closed for several hours. Prokop was shot in the head and airlifted to hospital. Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Alanna Dunlop said on Saturday that the shooting was not a random attack. The serious crimes unit at Ridge Meadows RCMP is investigating

To protect the integrity of the ongoing investigation we are not providing any specific details, other than to say that the investigation is making progress.” Prokop was a Maple Ridge counOnline, all the time...

In January 2008, David Fleugel Fleugel Ridge Meadows RCMP received his commission. As a regional duty officer, Fleugel provided district-wide operational assistance, providing oversight to high-risk RCMP operations across Metro Vancouver, and assisted in the coordination of cross-jurisdictional events.

Support found at Parkinson’s meetings A woman who has lived with Parkinson’s for more than a decade is helping to promote this weekend’s SuperWalk fundraiser in Pitt Meadows. by Troy Landreville tlandreville@mrtimes.com

After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2002, Maureen Brisson became a crusader in raising awareness about a disease that affects more than 100,000 people across Canada. Brisson’s awareness-and-fundraising efforts didn’t start overnight. She admitted feeling shamed, initially, about having the disease. Then she decided to take a much more pro-active approach. “I realized I could be helping others who couldn’t come out of the closet, sort of thing. That’s indeed what happened.” This year Brisson is volunteer-

ing at the Parkinson’s SuperWalk being held on Saturday, Sept. 7 in Pitt Meadows, working at the registration desk. The fundraiser benefits Parkinson Society British Columbia. “I hear it is a very well supported community event and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people,” Brisson said. Brisson’s involvement with the Pitt Meadows SuperWalk stems from her connection to the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Parkinson’s support group that she belongs to. The group meets the second Wednesday of each month at the Ridge Meadows Seniors Centre on 224th Street. “They’re a wonderful group,” she said. “Their chairperson Edith is so positive. They are very upbeat. You are in the same company.” Looking ahead to Sept. 7, proceeds from the event will go towards research to find a cure for Parkinson’s and to continue to provide programs and services to the roughly 11,000 people and

The house where the fire originated was completely destroyed and the neighbouring house was extensively damaged by fire, smoke, and water, according to Exner. A third house was superficially damaged by the fire with the siding and windows affected. Seven people were displaced from the two homes. “Emergency social services were called out last night,” Exner said on Saturday. “Basically, everyone was housed through them.” Thirty Maple Ridge and six Pitt Meadows firefighters battled the blaze.

ome really interesting dialogue recently took place at the Immigration and Economic Development Community Dialogue hosted by the Welcoming Communities Initiative – a program overseen by the Family Education & Support Centre. The conversation amongst the panelists and participants shed light on the gaps in labour

outcomes of immigrants, ways to attract and retain skilled immigrants, as well as opportunities to foster immigrant entrepreneurship and networks. Some of the main barriers discussed that immigrants are dealing with are language, unfamiliarity with how to look for a job or run a business in Canada, child care, as well as re-qualification of foreign credentials. The goal of this dialogue is to discuss a common vision and create a coordinated strategy that enhances diversity as a key component of the region’s brand.

Our View

Safe education starts at 9-1-1 If there’s one thing more important than our children’s education, it’s educating them in the ways of safety. With a new school year once again underway, there will inevitably be a number of youngsters – so-called “latchkey children” – who will Scan find themselves fending for with themselves at least a part of the day, as they get home from school before their parents get home from work. But it’s not only the latch-key kids who can benefit from advice from EComm, the regional emergency communications centre that coordinates dispatches through 9-1-1 calls. “It’s so important for kids to know what to do during an emergency,” said Cameron MacPherson, E-Comm fire call-taker. “Kids can save lives; they just need the right tools and knowledge to be able to get the help they need during an emergency. Dialing 9-1-1 can seem pretty scary when you’re young and feeling frightened. We want children to know that we’re here to help.” Kids especially need to know that a 9-1-1 emergency means that you need the police, ambulance or fire department right away. Call 9-1-1 straightaway if you feel scared or are in danger. Always call 9-1-1 if you or someone else is really sick or hurt, you smell or see smoke or fire, or someone is doing something bad, like hurting someone. When you call 9-1-1, try to stay calm and answer the operator’s questions clearly. Always do what the 9-1-1 operator tells you and stay on the phone until you are told it is okay to hang up. Parents need to ensure their kids know where the phone is, and how to make a 9-1-1 call – and that calls should not be frivolous. Practice with an unplugged land-line phone. Visit our website at www.mrtimes.com and click on Opinion to find further EComm advice on 9-1-1 and its role in keeping kids safe. – B.G.

Better than nothing

Pitt Meadows

Indoor pool least among real needs

Dear Editor, It was a great disappointment to read that Pitt Meadows council is paying $2,000 for a study for an indoor pool [Pitt Meadows council envisions new pool, Aug. 20, TIMES]. It was also very upsetting that our representatives and mayor would spend their time and our tax money on such a frivolous activity when nothing is being done to do a study on how to build an underpass for Harris Road, nor is anything being done to activate the traffic light at the intersection behind Meadowtown Centre. Our city is held hostage on both major roads out of the city, namely Harris and Hammond, by a train with an erratic and seemingly ever-longer line of train cars. Why is that not a major priority? Fire trucks, ambulance, and police are held up when the trains cross our major exits to the highway, shopping, etc. How long must we wait for city council to decide that this is not acceptable for our citizens?! Also, the interchange behind Canadian Tire and Meadowtown Centre has a traffic light and a turning lane directly to the mall. However, due to a conflict of jurisdiction, nothing has been done since the Golden Ears Way and bridge were built in 2009. The solution: bag the traffic light, cut off the turning lane (instead of leaving it open

with a four-way stop), and put up posts and signs not permitting U-turns. When will city council and the mayor take responsibility and get the traffic light activated? I almost never use the Hammond Road entrance to the mall (except when long, slow trains block Harris Road). However, I sympathize with residents in the area who frequently use the road to get to the mall and are frustrated with the non-functioning traffic light and barricaded turning lane, and are forced to turn into the West Coast parking lot to turn around and go back to the mall or swing around the car dealership and Canadian Tire to use that mall entrance. These aren’t fanciful, extravagant, or impressive desires. They are basic necessities for the efficient function of this city. Could we please put our priorities in order and get on with the business of building our city for the benefit of all citizens. At a time when the Lower Mainland is making significant strides to improve our commute from the suburbs – namely the Port Mann and Pitt River bridges and the new overpass at United Boulevard – wouldn’t it make sense to have freedom to get around in our own city?

Neighbourhoods

Port Haney party planned Port Haney wharf will be brought to life this Sunday by neighbourhood residents and businesses.

The historic downtown of Maple Ridge is slowly undergoing a revitalization – and the Port Haney Neighbourhood Change Initiative hopes its third annual Port Haney Day will help that process along. Port Haney Day will take place on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the wharf in Port Haney. “We’ll celebrate the revitalization of the neighbourhood right at the original focal point, the wharf. It’s a spectacular setting for a festival that brings people together to enjoy good food, music and performances, and an outdoor market,” said Graeme Ross, co-chair of the neighbourhood group. “The idea [of Port Haney Day] is to continue to build community pride and spirit,” Ross said. He would like people to get to know the “great assets” in the area like the Billy Miner Pub and the wharf. Event organizer Kimberly Lauzon is contacting vendors and artisans to fill out the outdoor marketplace. “It’ll be a great way to spend a Sunday

afternoon by the water,” she said. “We’ve arranged for some interesting booths to showcase their wares. There’ll also be an idea centre. It’ll be a colourful board on which people can record their ideas for the neighbourhood. We’d really like a strong turnout so we can collect input for further improvements.” The organizers have also lined up a number of musicians and Zumba dancers. The residents of Port Haney are a diverse and eclectic group of people according to Christian Cowley, another event organizer. Haney resident Ian Mcleod will be giving walking tours at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The businesses of the neighbourhood are a vital part of the celebration, too. The Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association has helped with the planning and the business owners have provided door prizes and handouts for people attending. This year, the main events will take place at the wharf, and Haney House will be open for public tours from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, go to the Port Haney page on Facebook or contact the CEED Centre at 604-463-2229. The Port Haney Neighbourhood Change Initiative meets monthly from September to June.

ExploreVancouverIsland For those yearning for a weekend getaway, Vancouver Island is little more than 20 minutes by float plane, or a couple of hours (or less) by ferry. The Island is home to seven distinct regions, all with their own charm and appeal. Whether you long to head out for a cosmopolitan centre, a small town or a snug harbour, the Vancouver Island region has it all. For the outdoor enthusiast, there’s rugged oceanfront hiking trails, wilderness camping, big-wave surfing, mountain biking paths, wildlife watching expeditions, caving and kayaking trips that makes the Island a natural paradise. Yet, don’t be fooled by the Island’s other choice of activities – golf, museums, spectacular gardens, aquariums and government buildings – Vancouver Island is also a Mecca for those who want a variety of dining and shopping choices. Prepare yourself for a culinary adventure because the Island offers everything from international

fine dining to West coast cuisine, tempting seafood to culinary classics with an Island twist, and everything in between. Explore its great shopping with unique retail outlets selling local fashion, food, wine, crafts, art and much more. In the evening, head out for a night of fabulous live music, theatre or fine arts. Vancouver Island is a land of diversity and choices, and that includes the Island’s accommodations. There’s a home-away-fromhome that will satisfy every taste and budget. If your idea of an idyllic stay is a restorative one, the Island offers - myriad -resort lodgings, boutique hotels, major chain hotels, warm and inviting B&Bs and funky hostels. Best of all, because of the warm Pacific Ocean currents, Vancouver Island boasts one of the mildest climates in the country. Here you can ski or snowboard in the morning, have a late lunch at a beachside bistro and and play 18 holes of golf in the afternoon. There’s so much waiting for you in the Vancouver Island region in the fall and it’s all there waiting to be discovered: whether it’s storm watching from the open Pacific, a brisk walk in the cool morning air or retreating to a spa for a day of pampering. For more information about what to do and see on Vancouver Island, visit www.vancouverisland.travel.

The Chilliwack Giants were taken to task in the season opener versus the junior bantam Knights. The Knights came away with a 34-0 win.

Holiday Monday’s football game at Townsend Park against the home team Chilliwack Giants boosted the junior bantam Meadow Ridge Knights’ confidence. The 34-to-0 win for the Knights came when they most needed it – at the season opener, noted head coach Rick Pelwecki. “They were pretty happy,” Pelwecki said of the win. “They had a rough year last year, so this was a great way to turn the tides. They’re all pretty excited about their performance.” Leading the football games’ defence was Tim Janke, Anthony Cameron, Josh Tatosky, and Harrison Longhi. On the offence, Brandon Hunt led the scoring with three touchdowns with Cade Cote adding two more to the tally.

“I think they’re going to be a pretty good team this year,” Pelwecki said. “There’s lots of good kids this year.” Special teams had a strong day courtesy of Jake Loftus who had many kickoffs pinning the Giants deep in their end zone and completed kicks for two extra points. The Knights take on the Abbotsford Falcons Black team on Saturday on their home turf. “The Abbotsford team is a very good team. It should be a good battle,” Pelwecki noted. “We’re definitely going in as the underdogs in this one.” The junior bantam Knights have the first home game on Sept. 14 at the Rotary field at Samuel Robertson Technical.

Strong openings for Knights

The five other Knights teams also opened their season’s strongly with three wins, a tie, and a loss chalked up for the weekend. The midget Knights took on the White Rock Titans in an away game victory of 12-to-0 on Sunday.

Burrards forward scores Commissioner Trophy

The Maple Ridge team didn’t make the playoffs, but Curtis Dickson still stood out. by Ronda Payne editorial@mrtimes.com

On Sunday, the Western Lacrosse Association selected #17

Curtis Dickson – of the Maple Ridge Burrards – as the league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) . Each team submits their votes for each awards category, including MVP, explained Lance Andre, governor and president of the Maple Ridge Burrards. “It’s not just the commissioner who chooses, it’s all the teams,” Andre said.

Dickson is the recipient of the Commissioner Trophy due to his league play record of 58 goals, 45 assists, and 103 points in 17 games, as well as his overall contribution to the game. “He’ll be back with the Burrards next year,” Andre said while discussing Dickson’s winter stint playing in the National Lacrosse League in Calgary.

In terms of what Dickson’s MVP award means to the Burrards, Andre said, “It’s a huge achievement.” “It says that we do have a team of the future, we’re just going to mature around Curtis,” he added. Andre noted the Burrards believe they have the top player in the WLA, perhaps North America, with Dickson.

Gallery craft show opens ACT’s new season

Pottery is just one of the many crafts that will be on display in Maple Ridge starting this Saturday. Two east Maple Ridge artisans will display their clay pieces at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery as part of the Celebrate Craft! exhibit, opening this Saturday. Judy Burke, who lives in Webster’s Corners, mainly makes domestic pieces. As far as inspiration for her art, Burke said she has “no idea” where it comes from, but there are definite shapes that she likes. “I just sit down and play [with the clay]... and if it doesn’t work, I take it apart,” she said. Burke has a master’s degree in painting from the University of California Berkeley, but when her children were small, she took a night school class in pottery and found her niche. Burke makes stoneware, porcelain, and terracotta using both the wheel and handbuilding techniques. Pottery is labour intensive, Burke said, and the clay needs to be worked to get the consistency right. “It’s heavy and it’s big – there’s a lot of physical work involved,” Burke said. Junichi Tanaka, a Whonnock potter who will also have pieces on display at Celebrate Craft! found inspiration in a passion he had to leave behind – mountain climbing – and he will include some pieces from his Alpine series in the show. From the age of 14 to his mid-30s, “just my life was mountain climbing,” said the artist who hails from Japan. “Since I stopped climbing mountains, I’m still thinking about mountains,” he

Maple Ridge potters Judy Burke and Junichi Tanaka, are two of the 13 artists who will have their work on display at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery starting Saturday. Maria Rantanen/TIMES

added. Finally, he decided to put his desire to mountain climb into art to release his passion, hence, the Alpine series. The fall season at the Maple Ridge Art Gallery will open with Celebrate Craft!, featuring the work of 13 artists working in fibre art, clay and mixed media. The exhibition is a tribute to artists who have brought their work to the level of master craftsman/artisan.

Talk to any serious crafts person about the seemingly capricious nature of the kiln, dye pot or medium they work with, and one soon realizes that even the most experienced craft artists still occasionally contend with disappointing results after hours of fruitless effort. But for some, it is the unexpected and often unforgiving nature of their medium that drives them forward. Burke and Tanaka have been showing in professional artist spaces throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond for many years, but are rarely shown in their own community. In addition to pottery by Burke and Tanaka, there will be prints by Saskia Jetten and three-dimensional knitted vessels and garments in Julie Pongrac’s “soft

sculpture.” Artisanal weaver Jo Skinner, who handdyes the fibres with which she works, will also take part in the Celebrate Craft! exhibit. “Of all my obsessions, colour is my favourite,” Skinner said. Other artists include Ellen Hamilton from Mission and tapestry artist Barbara Heller. Celebrate Craft! runs from Sept. 7 to Nov. 9. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Maple Ridge Art Gallery is located in The ACT, 11944 Haney Pl., Maple Ridge.
