Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast rode through Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge on Tuesday, including one local RCMP officer, Const. Duncan McRae.
Ridge Meadows RCMP Const. Duncan McRae said he raised a “measly” $7,000, compared to the other riders in his Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast team. But that $7,000 was added into a pile of other money collected, and all together, the 24 police officers on the team – RCMP, West Vancouver police, North Vancouver police, and Vancouver police – raised $180,000. That money will go to the Canadian Cancer Society to help research into pediatric cancers. Some of the money also goes to Camp Goodtimes, a retreat for sick children that takes place at Loon Lake in north Maple Ridge. This is the first time McRae has ridden in the 900kilometre Cops for Cancer fundraising bike tour that is held every September. McRae’s inspiration came from a friend in her late 30s who was fighting skin cancer. “When I joined [the team], I joined it with her alive,” said McRae. But shortly after, “she succumbed to it.” This was the first close friend he lost to cancer. “In the end, we’re all touched by cancer,” McRae said. During the ride, businesses and organizations have been generous, donating food and services. To save money, the Tour de Coast riders even spent a night at the Girl Guides’ facility, Camp Olav, sleeping in very narrow beds, McRae said. “It’s money we don’t have to spend pulling out of money we’ve raised,” he said.
Fire
River Road shingle mill burns One building was destroyed by fire in the Albion industrial area. by Maria Rantanen mrantanen@mrtimes.com
Thirty Maple Ridge firefighters fought a blaze at Imperial Cedar on River Road early Wednesday morning. The remand building, where exterior shingles were made, was completely destroyed, according to assistant fire chief Mark Smitton, but a separate mill just to the south of it wasn’t affected. The call came in at 1:10 a.m. and within min-
utes, all three Maple Ridge firehalls responded with eight trucks dispatched, Smitton explained. Firefighters fought the fire from both sides of the building, trying to contain it. Smitton said the biggest concerns were electrical hazards and exploding propane tanks – the firefighters could feel the tanks exploding. “We had some explosions – how many more to come?” was the question on their minds, he said. The fire didn’t seem suspicious, Smitton noted, and there was no indication it was arson. There will be an inspection later to investigate the cause of the fire. On Wednesday afternoon, the fire department was still on scene, putting out hotspots.

Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) and the Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society (KEEPS) are celebrating Rivers Day and want the public to join in. It’s part of World Rivers Day, which began in 2005, although on a regional front, B.C. Rivers Day kicked things off in 1980. Held on the last Sunday in September, this is the 20th annual Rivers Day event by ARMS and 10th for KEEPS. ARMS executive director, Greta Borick-Cunningham, notes it’s a special occasion for two reasons. It’s the 20th annual Rivers Day ARMS has hosted as well as the 20th anniversary of the organization. “It’s kind of like a double celebration,” Borick-Cunningham said. Taking place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the Allco Fish Hatchery, the ARMS event will have fun for everyone with a focus on the importance of waterways. “It’s a great day for the public to see the hatchery.,” BorickCunningham said. “It’s an event to celebrate the river, to celebrate the fish hatchery, and the work they do,” she said. “There will be 18 to 20 different environmental exhibitors and lots of stuff for the kids, too.” One of the highlights at the ARMS event is the pond fishing. Anyone can try their hand at catching a fish. “The pond is stocked with 300-

odd trout,” Borick-Cunningham noted. “There is the option of catch and release or there is an opportunity to have it cleaned and take it home.” Amidst entertainment, food, art, and more, there will also be a barbecue run by the management team of the neighbouring partners at the corrections facility. KEEPS is taking its waterways celebration towards the Fraser River, according to KEEPS program interpreter, Ross Davies. Also on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the KEEPS event fea-
tures the opportunity to ride in a voyageur canoe. “We have two traditional voyageur canoes,” Davies said. “We’ll provide life vests, paddles, and everything [visitors] need.” The canoe will journey down Kanaka and onto the Fraser where, Davies noted, the timing is right for some wildlife sightings. “It’s a big, big year for pink salmon,” he said. “It’s upwards of 28 million. They jump and roll and can be quite visible.” In addition to the canoe trips
along the river, a group of Scouts will be conducting an invasive plant species removal, there will be plenty of information available about the history of the Kanaka people – the namesakes of the region, and opportunities to sign up with KEEPS. “It’s a really interesting area,” Davies said. “It hasn’t changed much within about a century.” Families and individuals of all ages are welcome to attend these free events celebrating the role rivers play in the area and around the world.

A Pitt Meadows resident is challenging herself to raise money for cancer research. by Maria Rantanen
mrantanen@mrtimes.com
Pitt Meadows resident Caleigh Meneghetti will be leaping over cars and swinging over a lagoon this Sunday – all to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation. Meneghetti has been training for the 2013 Concrete Hero event, set to take place this Sunday. A colleague at work, who was planning to take part in the cancer fundraiser with his girlfriend, also convinced Meneghetti and her fiance to sign up. The team of four is called the Best Team Ever – her colleague’s last name is Best. “For me the big challenge is running, I’m not a very good runner,” Meneghetti said, although she has participated in sports all her life. A lot of the events have been kept a secret so Meneghetti isn’t really sure what she will be challenged with on Sunday. Cancer has hit home for

Patrol team help in arrest Mitch Thompson/TIMES
Filling their boots for muscular dystrophy
Bailey, five, and Rheanne, seven, dropped a donation into the boot of Pitt Meadows firefighter Jason Stefan, who handed them a sticker and tattoo in exchange, outside the Cineplex Odeon theatre on Saturday night. Stefan and his colleagues from the Pitt Meadows fire department were there as part of the Fill the Boot campaign, which raises money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Initial estimates indicated about $4,000 in donations were collected at the different collection stations around Pitt Meadows last weekend. In the meantime, this coming Saturday, Sept. 28, Maple Ridge firefighters will be collecting for the cause. Teams will be at the two Save-On-Foods stores and Coopers Foods during the day handing out information about muscular dystrophy and assisting customers in carrying their groceries to the car, while encouraging them to add a donation to their bill. Then, in the evening, firefighters will be circulating – boots in hand – around to most of the local watering holes collecting direct donations to the cause.
A “prolific offender” is back in court Monday.
Ridge Meadows RCMP, with assistance from the citizens on patrol volunteer team, arrested a 24year-old, whom they call a “prolific offender” early Sunday morning. The arrest came after the volunteers located a stolen car near an elementary school in central Maple Ridge. With help from the
RCMP Lower Mainland District’s Police Dog Services, the suspect was located nearby, said Cpl. Alanna Dunlop. “As a result of this excellent police work we have charges of possession of stolen property approved against Ryan Aaron Cameron Kaye,” Dunlop said. “This was all made possible by the good observations of our citizens on patrol volunteers. They
alerted our on-duty police officers who quickly put the wheels in motion leading to the arrest of Mr. Kaye. This arrest is a very significant step toward crime reduction in our communities.” Kaye appeared in Port Coquitlam provincial court on Monday, and he was remanded in custody until his next appearance. Charges include possession of stolen property and prohibited driving.

BECOME A FIRE CHIEF FOR A DAY ENTER TO WIN AN IPAD All students in Kindergarten through Grade 7 will receive a booklet with activities to teach them about preventing kitchen fires and escape planning with their family. Fire fighters will deliver them to all elementary schools in Pitt Meadows. Once these activities are complete parents and students must sign acknowledging they have completed their “Home Fire Safety Checklist” then they can submit the form to the fire department to enter them in a draw for an iPad offered by the Office of the Fire Commissioner. The Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service will send your entry to them to be entered into the draw. From the same entry forms, the Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service selects one boy and one girl to be Fire Chief for a Day. Entries can be submitted to the Pitt Meadows Fire Rescue Service at our open house or Monday to Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm before November 4th 2013. If you win, not only will you be picked up from school and taken for lunch in a fire truck, you will receive the special prize listed below. Prize Package Includes: • 1-Sparky Smoke Alarm • Official Chief Certificate • Picked up at your school in the City of Pitt Meadows fire truck • Spend the day with local firefighters • Lunch at Boston Pizza
Fires are real, not just events in the news or movies. Fire is fast, extremely hot and spreads rapidly. It creates thick black toxic smoke that is even more deadly than flames! When fire strikes, seconds are important! There is no time to stop and think. Everyone needs to know what to do! Smoke alarms provide the early warning of the problem and a home fire escape plan will provide time to escape safely. Although we hope you never have to use it, planning and practicing your home escape plan may one day save your life and the lives of your loved ones. The fire rescue service has again partnered with local schools to teach children and their families the importance of developing and practising a home fire drill. Children will learn these skills by completing an interactive fire safety worksheet - “Fire Safety Starts with You” - provided by your local fire department. Those children successfully completing the activity booklet and the entry form and returning the entry form are eligible to enter to win an iPad.
Remember, Fire safety starts with you!

Our View
Caring all the way to the end Few people want to die. Even those who commit suicide actually just want to get out of a life that they feel, for whatever reason, has become untenable. But it’s a fact of all our lives that the end will arrive for every one of us at some point, ready or not. That’s why we have to express our admiration for a group of people who devote so much time and energy to caring about, understanding, and preparing those who know they are coming to the end of life. The hospice movement has become an important part of the grieving process for the dying and their families in communities throughout B.C. and across Canada. Helping people who are negotiating the reality of terminal illness is, of course, only one of the many vital services around death and dying that are so ably and compassionately provided by the Ridge Meadows Hospice Society. Its role goes far beyond palliative care. The service provided by hospice volunteers goes beyond death… literally. Hospice is also there for those who remain behind, helping the bereaved to cope with the new reality of lost loved ones – wives and husbands, children and parents, dear friends and anyone else who has been placed on the difficult road of grief. Perhaps the most important work done through hospice involves simply talking, whether in formal grief counselling or lending an ear during home or hospital visits. No one seems to want to talk about death with their loved ones, even when the dying feel they have important things to say. Hospice volunteers may fill the void themselves, or help bridge the communications gap between those who need to speak and who need to hear, to make the coming journey – for both – just a little easier. The folks at Ridge Meadows Hospice Society fulfill a crucial role on a path that we all, eventually, will tread. – B.G.

Response
Education not for job, but for life
Dear Editor, Your editorial [Youth need to learn skills, Aug. 20 Opinion, TIMES] compelled me to dust off an old chestnut: distinguishing between education, training, and indoctrination, considering the subtle but important differences between terms, one of the many fruits of education. You can be forgiven for not knowing there is a difference between the definitions. There are many edu-
cational professionals who do not grasp that a) indoctrination is the rote memorization of facts or opinions, b) training is the acquisition of skills necessary to accomplish a task or fulfill a role, and c) education is critically viewing the world around you, interpreting it accurately, and communicating effectively. Some indoctrination is necessary for learning anything, and training often involves useful and practical
Pitt Meadows
Rail crossing more useful
Dear Editor, Mayor Deb Walters and her crew on Pitt Meadows council continue to spend with no restraint at all. They have run up the City’s debt, then sold City land to repay that debt, got the city into an expensive lease for the library, refused to do anything to hold the line on property taxes, and voted to remove the land north of the Lougheed Highway from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Now they are spending $2,000 for a pool study, when we all know that a city of 15,000 residents cannot support an indoor pool. Maybe the mayor and council could spend some time on working toward a solution to the railway crossing on Harris Road – you know, something that would be useful for the majority of Pitt Meadows residents. Archie Blankers, Pitt Meadows
lifeskills, such as riding a bike, fixing a leak, tying a shoelace, etc. Many parents and corporations downplay the value of education in favour of training; the latter want skilled workers, while the former see it as a ticket to financial independence. In fact, education is not meant to fuel a job, though often it indirectly does; it is meant to fuel a society. Education is generally irrelevant when it comes to producing/manufacturing, but it is integral to “lead forward,” which is the meaning of the word, at its core. The most important skill youth need is thinking, which a traditional, academic degree trains one to do. Do not get an education for a job; get it for your life – you’ll not only be making great conversation, you’ll have something meaningful to say because you’ll understand your world better.

Provincial politics

What you’re telling us on Facebook
• Maple Ridge Councillor Dr. Bob Masse amassed a lot of support at the

race dates by the end of September. That’s news to the provincial executive and table officers, according to NDP insiders. The subject did not come up at Wednesday night’s table officer meeting, nor was it on the agenda for Saturday’s provincial executive meeting. Sihota says another meeting will be set for next week. Why he would suggest that it was appropriate that he and the existing executive, who are quite possibly both on the way out the door at the November convention, would be empowered to make such a decision, is anybody’s guess. I would venture that he hasn’t been listening to the members who are saying quite loudly that we have many internal issues to discuss first, and until that happens, it makes no difference who the leader is. This appears to be yet another example of a select few making hasty and ill-advised decisions on behalf of the entire party. It is a perfect example of the kind of thing that needs to be addressed. Moe needs to leave it alone. Let the members make the decision at convention in eight weeks. What’s the rush? Cheryl Baron, Maple Ridge

The official season at the arts centre opens with international flair.
This Saturday, the public is invited to a belly dance workshop, an indigo-dyeing session, or to make trading-card sized miniature works of art. Or they can just sit back and enjoy a variety of artistic performances with an international flavour – a multi-ethnic musical group, Chinese singing, or Polynesian dance. Canada Culture Day is the launch of The ACT 2013/14 season, and it is a free, family event running from 1 to 5 p.m. at the arts centre located in Memorial Peace Park, and organized by the arts council and the Family Education and Support Centre. Culture Days is a collaborative, Canada-wide movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation, and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. In September 2010 the first annual Culture Days event was held in more than 700 Canadian cities and towns. In Maple Ridge, the public is invited to visit The ACT where diverse community groups will have information booths and offer workshops and demonstrations. The celebration opens with a traditional Hoop and Jingle Dance by Jane
Wylie and a performance from the Vancouver InterCultural Orchestra Small Ensemble from 1 to 2 p.m. The ensemble is a professional concert orchestra devoted to performing new intercultural music. The composers and musicians are writing and performing the Canadian music of the future. The performing members of the ensemble are Ali Razmi on the Persian tar, Bic Hoang on the Vietnamese dan bau, Gelina Jiang on the Chinese zheng, Moshe Denburg on voice and Jewish and multi-ethnic guitar, Russell Sholberg on bass, and Hamin Honari on hand percussion. There will be a belly dance performance and workshop between 2 and
2:45 p.m. – people are encouraged to bring hip scarves to the workshop. From 2 to 4 p.m., there will be a tea and culture event takes place in the Maple Ridge Art Gallery – the gallery in The ACT. This will include a sampling of special teas, a indigo dyeing demonstration, and a bisque and brush demo with Nicole Smith in the 3D Studio.

Sustainability at forefront by Mitch Thompson

“We live in a finite environment, and if you don’t foster [a] concept of people working together, communities fall apart.” This is the message that Gerry Pinel, a member of the Golden Ears Transition Initiative (GETI), and his fellow exhibitors were hoping to instil in the about 2,000 attendees to Saturday’s GETI Fest in Maple Ridge’s Memorial Peace Park. The festival, now in its third year, invites activists of all kinds to join together and raise awareness about external and global issues that affect the local community, and offer solutions. “Its main goal,” said Pinel, “is to build a resilient community, and create the network and systems within the community to become more self-sufficient, self-sustaining.” The idea was reflected in the booths that lined the park’s walkway, with exhibitors focusing on everything from energy usage to the health of local hatcheries. Others looked to raise awareness about discus-

Groups quacking about race benefits
Almost $90,000, as well as a series of service awards and thanks, were handed out following the success of the annual duck race.
by Roxanne Hooper
rhooper@mrtimes.com
Just shy of $90,000 was distributed to local youth groups during a special Rotary Duck Race awards presentation evening at The ACT last week. Close to 90 people were invited to attend the dinner reception, to collect a cheque on behalf of their Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows youth group or to be thanked for helping raise that much money. The Rotary Duck Race was held during the August long weekend, but tickets were sold throughout the spring and summer by various youth groups and both Meadowridge and Haney Rotary Clubs. It’s a huge community fundraiser, that thanks to sponsorship and in-kind gifts, is able to donate every cent earned back to the community – and specifically to local young people. Event organizer Bob Shantz – affectionately dubbed Papa Duck – was granted the highest honour. The long-time Rotarian was presented with his third Paul Harris Fellowship, a Rotary-specific honour that is given in recognition of outstanding commitment. And that’s what he has demonstrated during the duck race’s three-year history in this community, working tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinating and ensuring the event runs smoothly, Meadowridge Rotary Club president Adrienne Dale said when presenting the award. “I’m very honoured, to say the least,” said Shantz, who isn’t known for his long speeches. He did, however, spend the night – with the help of emcee Fred Armstrong – giving thanks to many other individuals, sponsors, and groups who made this year’s event another success. Shantz noted that through the race’s three-year history, they’ve raised a little more than $250,000 that has gone back directly to youth organizations. Each group participating sells tickets, knowing 100 per cent of the money raised will come back to them. There were 27 cheques presented last Wednesday night, the biggest amounts raised by Pitt Meadows Youth Basketball Association (which also happened to sell the grand prize winning ticket). They raised $11,500. The next highest amount was raised by Ridge Meadows Minor Softball Association, taking home a $10,250 cheque, with the 1st Haney Scouts earning the third highest fundraising goal of $7,600. It’s amazing how “these humble little” rubber ducks make it possible to raise thousands for local groups, Armstrong said. Although it’s a Rotary fundraiser, he and Walton both commented on how much time, energy, and enthusiasm go into making a project of this magnitude possible. In addition to the cheques presented to participating youth groups, acknowledgement was given to all the sponsors, and thanks was given to a few key volunteers.

YOUR HEALTH President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch
ARTHRITIS
NPN 80042283 Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.
Truthful actual experiences from real people:
! For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON !My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA!I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON!For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC !I suffered for years with sciatica. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realised I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to have less pain #1 or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. !Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night”…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.
SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?

I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ! Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could #23 not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ! For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS !It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! I suffered greatly from anxiety. Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic #66 Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle. Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

ACT launches movie series with French love story
Six international films will be shown this season in Maple Ridge.
The arts council is launching its fourth season of films, the Golden Ears Movie Series (GEMS), made available through the Toronto International Film Festival. The first GEMS movie this season is Rust and Bone (2012 France/Belgium) and will be shown Monday at The ACT. The movie tells the story of a single father who helps a whale trainer recover her will to live following a terrible accident. Ali is in his mid 20s, an unemployed father to a young son, Sam. He arrives in Antibes, southern France, to look for work. Having no money, he crashes with his sister, Anna. Ali gets a job as a bouncer in a nightclub and on a usual evening in the night club, he meets Stephanie and escorts her safely to her home after she is injured in a brawl at the club.
GEMS
Stephanie works at a local marine tourist park where she suffers a tragic accident during a show and wakes up in the hospital to realize that her legs have been amputated.

A street-side market was set up in the mid-1970s, in front of what, at that time, was the Webster’s Corners Emporium museum and store. That building, also pictured below in the 1940s, served as the co-op. The building to the right – since demolished – also belonged to the co-op and contained rental freezers.

for years now. Kind of like those local fields that lay fallow so long they go to seed, and it seems easier to just turn them into little lots with big houses than dig up the fertile soil for food. No one will care when the memories fade and expectations falter. That’s why I think there was no fanfare when the building went down. Yes, we are sad and a bit upset we never heard a thing about it before the bulldozers arrived. But really, the community had already lost touch with the space, which might just be a handy thing when you’re hoping to develop on a spot with so many ghosts and so much history. We’ve forgotten what we want – or maybe even need – to make this rural community a vibrant place. We helped freeze the community right out of that old co-op freezer. Val is right. It’s time to look around folks. Those bulldozers are coming at us from all angles out here in rural Maple Ridge and we need to decide what is worth protecting out here in the boondocks – whether we are talking buildings or bike trails, landmarks or landscapes. The echo of those old farmers and forest dwellers are bouncing off the hills and down along the fields. And they are asking us in Japanese, Finnish, Gaelic and even English – what are you going to make of our little Corner of the world? What will we answer?

Sarah and Sasan Haghighat-Joo earned gold in Alberta.
Boxers earn gold Maple Ridge siblings Sara and Sasan Haghighat-Joo both emerged triumphant at the Alberta Golden Gloves competition this past weekend in Edmonton. After a week of training in Vernon, the pair of Maple Ridge boxers – 19-year-old Sara and her younger brother 18-year-old Sasan – fought on Saturday and Sunday. They brought home gold in each of their weight classes for the B.C. Elite Team, said head coach Bob Pegues. “They were both in fine form,” he said. Next up, they’re off to Regina on Oct. 20 for the five-day nationals. They each qualified for the nationals earlier this spring, when they both won at provincials. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on “Sports”
