Mayor gives up insurance contract Sharpe’s agency will no longer insure city fleet by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter
James Maclennan/THE NEWS
Oh, deer A deer emerges from the front yard of the Campos residence on 128th Avenue in Maple Ridge after feeding on plants and other vegetation Sunday.
A company owned by Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean decided not to renew its contract to insure the city’s vehicle fleet. The City of Pitt Meadows confirmed Monday MacLean that Don MacLean’s business – Sharpe’s Agency Ltd. – chose not to continue the contract for another year this past summer. Sharpe’s Insurance won the latest contract to insure 32 municipal vehicles, including pickup trucks, backhoes, bobcats and fire engines, in 2009. See Mayor, p9
Water polo player suspended 2 years Nathan Kotylak also ineligible for sport funding by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A Maple Ridge water polo player caught on camera holding a flame to a shirt stuffed in the gas tank of a police car during the Stanley Cup riot has been handed a two-year ban from competing for Canada. On Monday, Water Polo Canada imposed the suspension on Nathan
Kotylak, 18, that will prevent him from participating in any national team programs until June 2013. Kotylak is also ineligible to receive Sport Canada funding for a two-year period. In a written decision released to the lawyers representing Water Polo Canada and the athlete, the panel described Kotylak’s actions during the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots in June as “very serious.” “Overall, I would say we’re satisfied with the panel’s ruling and the sanctions imposed,” said
Ahmed El-Awadi, executive director of Water Polo Canada. “These are formidable punishments considering the age of the athlete. But, in our view, they are fully justified given the seriousness of the situation and the potential to dishonour and discredit our organization, our members, and Canadians in general.” A Grade 12 student who had just graduated from a Maple Ridge private school, Kotylak was a star athlete who played on Canada’s junior national polo team when he was caught on camera partici-
pating in the mayhem that ensued after the Vancouver Canucks lost Game 7 of the cup finals to the Boston Bruins on June 15. He had received a partial scholarship to attend the University of Calgary to study kinesiology and had hopes of competing in the Olympics. Like other rioters identified, Kotylak was verbally attacked and threatened online. His cell phone number and home address were posted on several blogs and Facebook pages. See Ban, p5

Aquilinis fined by WorkSafeBC Penalties total $125,000 for two incidents in Pitt Meadows
Photo courtesy CTV
Firefighters and paramedics had to climb down steep terrain to reach the man, killed while falling a tree near B.C. Hydro power lines.
by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter The largest berry grower in Pitt Meadows has been fined by WorkSafeBC following a workplace accident last April. Francesco Aquilini, Roberto Aquilini and Elisa Aquilini, doing business as Geri Partnership – Golden Eagle Ranch, were fined a total of $125,402 on May 11 for two incidents in Pitt Meadows. The first fine of $62,701 was for failing to keep farm vehicles in “safe operating condition,” and for failing to ensure a driver was properly licensed at its jobsite at 16351 Aquilini Ave., in north Pitt Meadows. The same date, the Aquilinis were fined $62,701 for not providing an effective means of communication between first-aid attendants and workers at 14318 Neaves Rd. That followed an inspection in September 2010 and an accident in which a worker suffered a serious leg injury when moving a metal wall unit. The worker had to wait a long time for the first-aid attendant, WorkSafeBC says in its magazine. The penalties were announced in WorkSafe’s September-October magazine. “The firm also failed to provide its workers with the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to ensure their safety,” the magazine said. The inspection report said the employer failed to take sufficient precautions to prevent injuries, didn’t maintain safe working conditions or “exercise due diligence to prevent

The Aquilinis had no previous violations with WorkSafeBC. Geri Partnership is part of the Aquilini Investment Group, which owns the Vancouver Canucks and is run by Francesco Aquilini, Roberto Aquilini and Paolo Aquilini.

A trial date has been set for Oct. 15, 2012. Two other Maple Ridge companies were also fined in April by WorkSafeBC. Pennyfarthing Construction Co. got a penalty of $4,614 for not ensur-
ing that handrails and guardrails were installed at a construction site on which it was the general contractor. “Workers were also exposed to hazards from waste that had been allowed to accumulate throughout the jobsite.” Mohinder Kaur Lalli was also fined $2,500 in April for allowing workers to begin renovating a building before identifying if there were any hazardous materials, such as asbestos, at the worksite.
Council still awaiting word on flats from ALC by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter The fate of Albion flats remain in flux and could stay that way until after the next election as Maple Ridge district awaits word on its plans from the Agricultural Land Commission. Council sent its ideas for development of the farmland along Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue last spring to get feedback from the ALC. Once it hears from the commission, the district could then file a formal application to remove the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Mayor Ernie Daykin said Monday that the commission itself has yet to review the proposal, but is supposed to look at it when it meets Oct. 24. A meeting in September was cancelled.
Daykin said the land commission is underfunded, which drags out application processing times. “They’re really under the gun as far as funding from the province. “Council wants to know how long it will be before they get their comments back.” He added that council wants the feedback so it can submit a strong, formal application for removing the land. “We would like it sooner.” Coun. Judy Dueck said it’s 50-50 whether the present council will file an application before the next election. If the commission is quick at sending its comments to Maple Ridge, council would still have two or three meetings before the Nov. 19 election, in which to submit an application. “I think we’re running out of time is the unfortunate piece.”
Following public consultation last fall, and four options presented by a consultant, council opted for a development scenario for the Albion flats that included commercial, business and recreational development of both sides of 105th Avenue. Then it added a recreation centre, farm buildings, a Daykin farmer’s market, an agricultural training centre, food education institute and community gardens and a neighbourhood pub to the vision. The district’s consultant said all four options that came out of the brainstorming session should go to the commission.
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter A man was killed while falling a tree in east Maple Ridge just before noon Tuesday. The 40-year-old man was working for Leader Silviculture along a B.C. Hydro right-ofway, clearing trees near high-voltage power lines off 256th Street, past 130 Avenue by a gravel pit not far from the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre. “The worker was falling a tree and it struck the worker,” said Megan Johnson, with Work Safe B.C. Work Safe B.C. is investigating the fatality and was on scene soon after the accident. The Maple Ridge Fire Department and emergency personnel struggled to reach the man, who was working off a steep incline, near a stream. Police said Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue was called in to assist due to the “difficult terrain.” Ridge Meadows RCMP will be assisting the coroner’s office with its investigation. Leader Silviculture is based in Garibaldi Heights, near Whistler.

13-year-old MR boy airlifted to hospital A 13-year-old boy was hit by a van in front of a high school east Maple Ridge Thursday evening. The accident took place around 6:45 p.m. on Dewdney Trunk Road by 248th Street after the boy darted out from the front of a stopped transit bus. He was struck by the van and tossed off its windshield. He had just left a school dance at Garibaldi secondary. Two off-duty paramedics were the first emergency personnel on scene and cared for the teen until an ambulance and fire truck arrived. The teenage was bleeding from his head and an air ambulance was called in to airlift him to B.C. Children’s Hospital. Police said his injuries are non-life threatening. Maple Ridge fire chief Dane

THE NEWS/opinion News Views
Fairer representation The federal NDP is tripping all over itself in trying to have it both ways – keeping its large Quebec caucus happy and simultaneously suggesting that giving Quebec more seats in the House of Commons is good for fast-growing provinces like B.C. It’s impossible to achieve both ends. The Conservative government is expected to introduce a bill in Ottawa adding 30 seats to the House of Commons. All 30 would be in the three fastestgrowing and most under-represented provinces – B.C., Alberta and Ontario. The late Jack Layton tried to push the government in its minority days to add additional seats for Quebec as well, so that it would not have its influence watered down. He campaigned in Quebec on that basis in the recent federal election. The lone candidate for Layton’s job, party president Brian Topp, has endorsed this view and said that British Columbians would welcome this approach. How wrong he is. While Topp is correct that House of Commons representation is not strictly “representation by population,” the exceptions are minor. Under the constitution, no province can have less MPs than senators. Thus Prince Edward Island is guaranteed a minimum of four seats. No province can have fewer MPs than it had in 1976, so no Atlantic province will lose representation. The four Atlantic provinces together have just 32 seats. A few vast rural ridings, and the territories, are also exceptions. In the case of Quebec, it has had seats based on its share of the population, starting with 64 in 1867 and eventually rising to 75. Redistribution in other provinces has been based on the number of seats in Quebec. Historically, Quebec consistently had about onequarter of Canada’s population, but in more recent years, Quebec’s share of the national population has gone down to about 23 per cent. Quebec would have had one-quarter of Commons seats in perpetuity, had the Charlottetown Accord passed in 1992. But it failed, with 54.3 per cent of Canadians opposed, and almost 57 per cent of Quebeckers opposing it. “Rep by pop” applies to Quebec just as much as it does here. B.C. ridings are among the most-populated in Canada, and this province needs fairer representation. Quebec should maintain its 75 ridings, but is not entitled to any more unless its population increases. – Black Press

B.C. jobs plan bumps into reality VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s “B.C. Jobs Plan” took some hits as she was finishing her weeklong publicity tour to roll it out. The serious damage wasn’t from her political opponents on the left and right. The body blows B.C. Views came from Europe, Tom Fletcher the United States and China, where the storm clouds of a second recession continued to gather. As world leaders offered up a chorus of warning about debt and falling consumer demand, commodity markets for metals, coal and petroleum tumbled along with stocks. One of the few firm targets Clark offered was that eight new mines should be up and running in B.C. by 2015, with expansions or upgrades to nine more existing mines. That is the total arrived at after detailed meetings with the industry. But if China’s factories slow down because fewer Americans and Europeans buy their goods, those projects can fade as quickly as the price of copper. Total provincial spending for the B.C. jobs plan comes out around $300 million. The big-ticket items were contributions to port and rail facilities at Prince Rupert and Tsawwassen. Another $24 million goes to staff up natural resource permit offices, which are backlogged after amalgamation of various ministry functions. NDP leader Adrian Dix leapt on that
announcement, saying it proves that the B.C. Liberals starved the regional offices. He’s right on that. For example, the resource ministry’s regional director for Skeena told the Bulkley-Nechako regional district board this spring that he has 30 per cent less staff than five years ago. Some of that is a result of ending duplication of forest, energy and other ministries, but by this spring there were 65 independent power projects waiting for approval in Skeena alone. Of course, the NDP would fix that backlog by killing off the projects, and presumably break up the natural resources ministry again to ramp up their beloved government jobs. The NDP also jumped on B.C. Liberal MLA John Les for going to high-unemployment Nanaimo and suggesting people should look north where jobs are going begging. Construction company Ledcor had job fairs in Prince George and Chetwynd in early September, looking for hundreds of truck drivers, heavy equipment operators, drillers, blasters, mechanics, surveyors and labourers for the Willow Creek coal mine in Tumbler Ridge. Another job fair was held in Fort St. James around the same time, looking for equipment operators for the Mount Milligan copper-gold mine. I had a chat a couple of weeks ago with a grader operator in Dawson Creek, working in the gas patch. Most of the pickups he sees on job sites have Alberta licence plates. So let’s say you’re an able-bodied unemployed guy sitting in Nanaimo, waiting for a job to come to you. If that’s
how you think the economy works, it’s no surprise if your preferred political message is Dix’s 1960s socialist blather about the government forcibly sharing the wealth. And it’s no surprise that you’re unemployed. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins trashed the Prince Rupert port announcement as a payoff to local aboriginal people for a potash facility.
“B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins trashed the Prince Rupert port announcement as a payoff to local aboriginal people for a potash facility.” “The usual Liberal policy of giving natives a veto on new projects has got to end,” Cummins said, demonstrating once again that he understands nothing about the evolution of this issue in the past 20 years. In summary, Clark’s jobs plan is to continue Gordon Campbell’s Pacific gateway strategy. The opposition parties are reheating decades-old failed options they hope will smell better than a stale three-term government. And B.C. is, as always, at the mercy of world events.

THE NEWS/letters Shouldn’t seniors pick up after their dogs, too?
Gov’t leaving its options open
EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Sheltered work program saved (The News, Sept. 21). I am pleased that the provincial government has extended the Community Living B.C. programs at Ridge Meadows Recycling and Maple Ridge– Pitt Meadows Community Services. It is unfortunate, however, that the government has specified that these programs will be extended for one year. This leaves the clients of these programs, their families, caregivers and support staff not knowing what will happen next fall. The government is clearly leaving its options open. Given the quality, proven efficacy and community support for the supported employment program at the Ridge Meadows Recycling Depot and the supported volunteer program at Community Services, this is disturbing. There is little doubt that the provincial government is trying to cut costs on the backs of individuals with special needs and their support network. This is unforgiveable. Social Development Minister Harry Bloy is calling on CLBC to apologize for this fiasco. The minister is responsible for his ministry, which includes
I am appalled at the inconsiderate nature of some of our senior citizens. I have watched from my balcony, and have become disgusted with their actions, while walking their beloved dogs. We do not have a large lawn, but we would like to keep it as nice as possible. Yet I have watched these wonderful citizens let their dogs defecate on our property, and not once do I see them bend down to retrieve their little friend’s feces. This is totally unacceptable behavior. We try to keep our little bit of lawn and grounds as clean and tidy as possible and the landscapers give us heck when they find fecal matter on the grounds. I do not feel that we should have to clean up their mess. Is it not up to them to do that? Are they not supposed to carry little baggies and remove their doggie’s doo-doo? I am an apartment manager and I have to sweep the front walkway everyday. If they can’t pick up after their dogs, tell them to walk it somewhere else. DONNA THOMPSON MAPLE RIDGE
Local residents ‘awesome’ EDITOR, THE NEWS:
To the residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows: You might have noticed Saturday morning a slow-moving vehicle driving down your street and a couple of people putting plastic bags full of food into its trunk that they picked up from your neighbours’ doorsteps. They were just a few of the 146 volunteers who took part in the first annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive in our area. As one of the organizers of the event, we’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for opening up their pantries and giving so generously. The results of this event exceeded everyone’s expectations in so many ways. The 146 volunteers put in more than 250 hours to visit close to 4,000 homes. All together, approximately 6,000 pounds of food were donated to the Friends In Need Food Bank. The same food drive took place in communities throughout the Lower Mainland and across B.C., bringing in 250,000 pounds of food. The residents of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows showed they cared about the social issue of hunger by responding so generously, filling up the bags that were left on their doorsteps a few days prior to the pickup date. With such a positive outpouring of kindness in this first year, we look forward to even greater participation with both volunteers and donations in the future. Thanks again, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. You are awesome. PEGGY AND MARK LEHIKOINEN BCT FOOD DRIVE
chat@mapleridgenews.com Make things right From: Judy Nagy Kimberley, posted on mapleridgenews.com. Re: A struggle for health care (The News, Sept. 16). Saddened to read this article. Although I have never met Bill and Kelly [Nagy], my heart goes out to them. My four-year-old granddaughter Alyssa (Lissy-Lou) also has Rett Syndrome, so I know first hand the amount of care these kids need. I find this totally illogical that this family and others with special needs have to go through so much bureaucracy just to make things right for their children.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
CLBC. He should have been aware of plans for such significant program cuts. If he wasn’t aware of the planned cuts, it calls into question his ability to manage his ministry. Either way, it’s minister Bloy who should be offering the apology. Disturbing allegations about the supported employment program at Ridge Meadows Recycling remain. CLBC maintained that the society was “not in compliance with Employment Standards.” CLBC even claimed Sather that the society had been informed as long as 15 years ago that it was out of compliance. CLBC’s rationale was that, since some caregivers drop the person they are responsible for off at the recycling depot in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day, at 4 p.m., the society should be paying them for a full day. Not that CLBC would fund them for a full day, in any case. The reality is that this is a modified work program to serve the particular needs of these workers and they are paid for every hour they work. This employment standards allegation is a red herring. When CLBC
informed the recycling society that it was terminating the program, no mention was made of noncompliance with employment standards. I believe these planned cuts were part of the Christy Clark government’s ham-fisted attempt to pay for the disastrous and expensive HST campaign that they waged on British Columbians. It’s clear that the Liberal government in Victoria has little respect for the supported employment and volunteer programs in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. I believe it would prefer to see our recycling centre run by a private company. As one CLBC official said to me: ‘Most of these programs [non-profit recycling] were gotten rid of years ago.’ I believe Ms. Clark is putting the interests of private business above those of people with special needs, despite the fact that our communities strongly support these programs. I guess her vision of “families first” doesn’t include these folks. That’s sad. MICHAEL SATHER, MLA MAPLE RIDGE – PITT MEADOWS
Making of a ghetto in my neighbourhood EDITOR, THE NEWS:
A new ghetto is being created at the corner of Brown Avenue and 222 Street. It is not only being created, but fostered by the B.C. government and Maple Ridge mayor and council. Amazing how we as a province and a town have money for a state-of-theart, environmentally green building (I believe the cost is $7.2 million or more) to house and support 42 homeless people for oneyear interims who do not and have not contributed to society in a very long time, if ever. We will be feeding them, cleaning their building, building a park across the street for them, finding them jobs and introducing them back into society (hopefully, after a year of
nursing them?). Meanwhile, we as a province and a town cannot support those who contribute to our town – like those who work at the recycling depot. No one is housing them for free, making their meals, doing their laundry (except maybe family), finding them better paying jobs. They arrive every day with pride and a whole sense of contributing to a job well done, and responsibility to their jobs. Those select 42 get to arrive to a beautiful new building with a new park. With that, the advocates for these select 42 will instill in them a sense of entitlement without having contributed to anyone or anything. That old saying “build it and they will come” came true for the
Salvation Army Caring Place. That area and neighbourhood changed into a den of thieves and druggies in 10 days after that place opened. Our town core suffers for it daily. The Homeless Initiative Program house seems to be just another Caring Place with a park for their friends being built across the street. The name Pigeon Park has already been taken. So what will these select 42 do for our community? Will they even have to contribute to any care of their new home? Will they be grateful enough to give back for this opportunity? Will they be held accountable for their behaviours? Will our town hold the
do-gooders accountable for their wards? On and off their little corner of property?
“Will they be grateful enough to give back for this opportunity?”
I will be walking by there everyday to go to work. People will be driving by there to take their kids to Maple Ridge high school everyday. There will be many people watching. M. SMYTHE MAPLE RIDGE
Time to institute permit for on-street parking? EDITOR, THE NEWS:
I would like to suggest that Maple Ridge implement an on-street parking permit. This is a method used in many North America cities and is used to supplement operating funds and create a more safe access for emergency vehicles when neighbourhoods have become plugged with street parking. My neighbourhood, for instance, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., is difficult for a car
to navigate, let along a fire truck. I know it is human nature to avoid the requirement to purchase the ability to legally park on the street, but doing so would encourage people to use their driveways or garages in order to avoid purchasing an on-street parking permit. For those who still wish street parking between 6 p.m. to 6 am. (overnight parking), they could pay either $50 for
a permit or $100 for a ticket, issued by a bylaw officer, for each infraction. I only suggest this because I feel it is becoming more and more dangerous as most of our neighbourhoods contain many secondary suites, which overwhelm the planned parking allotment when the subdivision was first planned. Many homeowners don’t use their garages for parking, but instead for storage – a place to put junk.
Many homes with lane access to driveways, which are not used, park in the front of their homes, which adds to the ongoing problem. Between the cost of permits and the issuing of fines, such a bylaw could generate enough money to pay for staff to enforce this bylaw – maybe even enough to contribute to the municipal operating budget.

‘We are going no further with this’ Mayor from front Since the contract totalled more than $25,000, this year was the first time the mayor’s business had to be identified in a city financial statement – to the surprise of several councillors, who claimed in June they were unaware of the agreement. “The contract came up for renewal and they decided not to pursue that. It’s their call,” said city chief administrative officer Jake Rudolph. The contract in 2009 was for two years, plus an option for an additional year. The city insures its fleet from Aug. 1 to July 31. The city received a letter from Sharpe’s Agency, indicating it would not seek contract renewal, on July 22. Sharpe’s Agency, which was previously owned by former
mayor Danny Sharpe, has done business with the city since 1974. In the past, the contract alternated between Sharpe’s and Johnston Meier Insurance. But in 2009, the city decided to formalize the way it obtained insurance by inviting proposals. Three agencies responded to the request for proposals, including Sharpe’s, Johnston Meier and Meier & Company Insurance. A staff committee picked the best bidder according to set criteria that included experience, the availability of on-site service, a willingness to provide shortterm credit and a familiarity with the city’s vehicle fleet. MacLean, however, failed to publicly disclose that his business was insuring the city’s vehicle fleet. At the time, he said he was unaware of a section of the B.C. Community Charter
Bell, O’Connell running again Two Pitt Meadows city councillors announced this week that they will be seeking re-election in November. Bruce Bell and Gwen O’Connell are also throwing their support behind Deb Walters, who is vying for the mayor’s chair. A Pitt Meadows resident for 31 years, Bell will be trying for a second term. With Walters and councillor John Becker both running for mayor, he said there will be a large gap to fill. Bell believes his experience will help bridge that gap and that Walters is the right person to be the city’s next mayor. “Deb cares deeply about the individuals of our city and is genuinely interested in their ideas and opinions,” said Bell. “She has demonstrated this time and time again with her collaborative

that requires council members to disclose any contracts they enter into with the city “as soon as reasonably practicable at a council meeting that is open to the public.” Section 168 also requires any contracts with council members to be listed in a report, that includes a general description of their nature, at least once a year. As well, civic politicians take an oath of office that requires them to disclose any direct or indirect pecuniary interests. MacLean would not comment further on why Sharpe’s Agency decided not to renew its contract with the city. “We are going no further with this,” he said. Meier & Company Insurance Agencies (Mission) Ltd. now insures the city fleet.
style of leadership.” O’Connell served on council from 1993 to 2005, then returned for a second time in 2008 because “of her passion for Pitt Meadows and the people who live here.” She said she is a “hands-on” councillor who can be found “serving hot dogs or cutting cake” at many community events and considers herself to be “one of those very lucky people who has a job she loves to go to each day.” She is supporting Walters’ bid to become mayor because she sees Walters as a strong leader. “She is a dedicated, hard working individual committed to the families of this wonderful community, said O’Connell. “She is a strong leader and the best choice for the job.” Current councillors Doug Bing and Tracy Miyashita will also be seeking re-election on Nov. 19.

The ballot for November’s school trustee election is starting to fill up as a host of newcomers and some familiar faces opt to throw their hats into the ring. Former parks manager Mike Murray will be running for school trustee in Maple Ridge, he announced Tuesday. Murray worked with the District of Maple Ridge for 33 years before retiring last year, and is currently the chair of the Ridge Meadows Hospi-

Murray worked extensively with the school district in his role as parks manager, and said he hopes that experience will allow him to continue “[The partnerships with Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge] represent the kind of collaboration I believe strongly in,” he said. “I’m going to continue to look for those opportunities.” Like anyone with a family, Murray says he has a vested interest in public education. “I think we all owe it to future generations to make the right decisions,” he said. Former school trustee Kathy Marshall, who served two terms on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education from 2002 to 2008, announced her candidacy on Monday. “I think I can bring some value to the board,” Marshall said. “I hope to bring commitment, integrity, and my
experience.” Marshall, who will be running in Maple Ridge, was a former school teacher in Ontario, and ran the Ridge Meadows legal aid office prior to its closing in 2002. Marshall said she stepped down from the board in 2008 to spend more time with her family and focus on her volunteer work, which included serving as a director for the 2009 B.C. Disability Games. This time around, she has more time to devote to her role as trustee. “The timing is right for me in my life right now,” she said. “Last time I had my fingers in too many pies. This time I’m able to donate the time and energy.” Also running in Maple Ridge is former school district employee Gary Cleave. Cleave worked for School District No. 42 from 1996 to 2009 as communications officer, and then as the district’s special projects officer, helping develop the dis-

trict’s student anti-violence program. Cleave was born and raised in Maple Ridge, and his grandchildren currently attend school in the district. “The school board will be faced with some difficult choices in the next few years,” said Cleave. “Our weak economy will limit the ability of the provincial government to adequately fund both health care and education. If elected, I will do my best to insure school district resources are allocated wisely and in the best interests of all our students.” Former trustee Mandeep Bhuller, however, has decided not to run for trustee, despite declaring his intention to do in May following his failed bid at federal politics as the Liberal Party candidate for Pitt Meadows-Maple RidgeMission. Bhuller said he will be throwing his support behind both Marshall and Cleave, and did not want to split the votes of candidates with the same agenda as himself. “These are people I have worked with and learned from. They have the same point of view as I do, so it makes sense for me to support their work,” he said. “I’m hoping we can get a progressive board with children as their agenda.” Bhuller ran unsuccessfully for school trustee in 2008, finishing eighth in Maple Ridge with 2,865 votes. So far, only three incumbents on the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education have announced their intention to run for reelection: Trustees Eleanor Palis and Susan Carr, as well as board chair Ken Clarkson. Trustees Dave Rempel and Mike Huber have yet to declare their candidacy, while trustees Kathie Ward and Stepan Vdovine have decided not to run.

bridges that are currently taking consumer dollars out of town and we need to retain those dollars in our community as well as attract new spending. It’s time to market Maple Ridge and promote our brand.” He also says it’s possible to find the “delicate balance” of furthering business and retail growth without “upsetting” the Agricultural Land Reserve. Kauhane has lived in Maple Ridge since 1998 and has coached baseball, soccer and martial arts, and if he had to name a sports project he’d like to see achieved, it still would be getting a showcase stadium built to bring in sport tourism dollars and raise the profile of the community. Kauhane was involved with the proposal to do just that in 2007, although the plan to build a 2,500-seat Hammond Stadium never received funding approval. He said he’d be a good choice for council because of his leadership and volunteering experience, “and because of my passion for our beautiful community.

“I believe in people and the ability to work together as a team to achieve goals and, in this case, be an effective council.” He supports Ernie Daykin as mayor. “He has the ability to bring people together. “That’s what I want to see on the next council … looking how we can work together to come up with solutions for the community.” In his news release, he says it’s the role of council, “to have the well-being of the community at heart and to offer guidance in terms of achieving the community’s vision and goals.”

Man arrested, smashed truck window 18-year-old driver assaulted A 39-year-old man was arrested by police on Saturday after he smashed the window of a pickup and proceeded to assault the driver. The altercation took place around 10:45 p.m. on 124th Avenue near Harris Road in Pitt Meadows. Police did not say what triggered the assault, but added the 18-year-old driver was only shaken up. The man arrested has since been released from police custody but will return to court in November.
Bar fight A man faces assault charges following a fight on Saturday inside a Pitt Meadows bar. Police allege the 22-year-old man from Langley punched a woman at Roosters Country Cabaret. Ridge Meadows RCMP were called about the assault just after just after 11:30 p.m. and interviewed
the victim and several witnesses to identify the suspect. The man was later released on a promise to appear in court in December.
Shoplifter An alert customer helped police catch a shoplifter who stole groceries from Superstore on Thursday. Around 9:45 p.m., a loss prevention officer saw a man running out of the store in Meadow Town Centre in Pitt Meadows and flee in a van. A customer who was walking into the store saw the chase and took down the van’s license plate. The customer gave the information to store security, who called police. Police tracked down the van and found both men, as well as $60 in stolen groceries. The pair have since been released from custody.

‘Lougheed will be fine after PMann tolls’ Dinner’s Ready... Motorists expected to use South Fraser Perimeter Road by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter When the new Port Mann Bridge starts collecting its coins in 2012 and motorists start paying to cross the Fraser River, traffic on the free road, the Lougheed Highway and Pitt River Bridge, should run as normal. At least that’s what the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is saying after confirming no extra work is planned for the Lougheed Highway to accommodate westbound motorists from Abbotsford or Mission who may want to skirt the tolls on the Trans-
Canada Highway. “Mission Bridge/ Lougheed Highway will be slow and timeconsuming in comparison to Highway 1 or the South Fraser Perimeter Route. Given the obvious disadvantages of using this route, no significant additional traffic is expected on Lougheed Highway,” the ministry said last week. For toll evaders, the South Fraser Perimeter Route, “will be considerably faster and more efficient that using the Mission Bridge and Lougheed Highway.” Maple Ridge Coun. Cheryl Ashlie raised the during a recent visit by TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis and wanted to know if local roads will be crowded by motorists from the eastern Fraser Valley. The department also

expects that the new South Fraser Perimeter Road accessed at 176th Street and Hwy. 1, “with its limited number of access points and fewer traffic signals, will be the primary un-tolled access route for through-traffic seeking an alternative to the Port Mann Bridge.” Ministry spokesperson Kate Trotter said in an e-mail that traffic modelling indicates “that the Golden Ears Bridge-South Fraser Perimeter Road would be an attractive route from the Maple Ridge area to … Vancouver airport and the Tsawwassen ferry terminal because of the significant travel time savings.” Meanwhile work on the two-kilometre twinning stretch of the Lougheed Highway, just

west of Mission, will be done by November. The project cost $23 million and consisted of three phases, rebuilding the Silverdale Bridge, widening the highway and building the Nelson Road intersection. The bridge is designed to withstand a one-in-200-year flood. The project needed approval by the Canadian Environmental Agency as the works took place in the Silverdale Creek wetland area, which is protected under the Navigable Waters Protection and Fisheries Act. Other issues involved having to infill small sections of the creek to accommodate the widening and bridge construction. All these had to be reviewed by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency for approvals.
A staff report pointed out more people are getting their information online, but noted it was still important to continue newspaper advertising for legal requirements and to reach people who don’t use the Internet. It said that cost savings was one of the reasons in deciding to choose one particular paper.

Arts council turns 40 by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter
W
hile leafing through three scrap books that chronicle the history of the arts council, Molly Falcon smiles with pride. She notices the photographs of the folks who’ve been around for years, the artists who gone on to world-wide success. “We have a lot of people with fantastic talent,” says Falcon, who has been a member of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Arts Council for the past 11 years and remembers the performances it hosted in the “Little Brick Church”. A community institution for the past 40 years, the arts council has grown much since first incorporated as a society called the Community Arts Council of T’Lagunna in 1971. T’Lagunna is First Nations word for “Golden Ears”, the majestic mountain peaks that mark the horizon. As a non-profit society governed by a volunteer board of directors, the arts council is dedicated to “Bringing Arts to the Heart of Our Community”. Since 2003, the arts council has managed The Arts Centre and Theatre and in 2005
took on the operations of the Maple Ridge Art Gallery. Falcon realizes many people who marvel at the Arts Centre and Theatre, featured prominently in the district’s downtown core, don’t know of its tumultuous history. It opened its doors in May 2003, following more than 13 years of lobbying by the arts community. The 43,000-square-foot building was the district’s first multi-purpose arts centre, incorporating facilities for both performing and visual arts. Initially turned down in a 1990 referendum, the notion was revived in 1997 when Maple Ridge council included an arts centre in its downtown redevelopment plans. It features a 500-seat main stage theatre, 165-seat multi-purpose studio theatre, an art gallery, meeting rooms and a variety of studio space for visual artists. The equipment was paid for by a fundraising campaign that attracted $2.2 million in sponsorships, pledges, donations and grants. “It was an interesting exercise to go through,” says arts council director Candace Gordon when asked about the referendum that drew vocal voices both for and against the proposal.
“In retrospect, I think we are lucky that it wasn’t successful because we look at other facilities now that are attached to schools going through problems. Our independent theatre is much better.” Gordon, a former president of the arts council, hopes people continue to support the ACT and the programs its runs with the parks and leisure services. “Go take an art class, see a show. All that income supports programming and the building itself,” says Gordon. “If you feel inclined, we are open to donations. We are still trying to build a really strong arts community.” • The arts council hosts a 40th anniversary dinner and dance at the Pitt Meadows Golf Course on Oct. 21. Get tickets at The Act.
Visit The ACT this weekend for a nation-wide celebration of Canada Culture Days. The theatre in downtown Maple Ridge will be hosting an open house on Saturday with a variety of family-friendly activities and displays. Groups involved this year include the Maple Ridge Music Society, the Garibaldi Art Club, Lynton Studio, Art in the Swamp, Clear Focus Camera Club, the Maple Ridge Lapidary Club, the Holy Wow Poets and others. The Emerald Pig Theatrical group will be doing face painting and other activities, including trading artists cards with Maple Ridge artist-in-residence Kjaer Pedersen, a felted-bead-making demonstration and workshop by the Whonnock Weavers. Visitors will be able to learn what goes on behind the scenes during backstage tours provided by The ACT’s production department at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. A special feature will be the Tree of Creativity, created by Maple Ridge artist Lisa Lake. Visitors will be able to add their “What you love about the Arts” leaf to this collaborative art project that will be on display at The ACT for the month of October. Culture Days is a collaborative volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. The first annual Culture Days event was held in September 2010 in more than 700 Canadian cities and towns. The 2011 Culture Days weekend will take place Sept. 30 to Oct. 2. Annual, Canada-wide Culture Days events feature free, hands-on, interactive activities that invite the public to participate “behind the scenes,” to discover the world of artists, creators, historians, architects, curators, and designers at work in their community. • The Culture Days celebration at the ACT takes place from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1.

thank you We would like to thank the many people that came out when our house burned down just over a year ago. It’s been a struggle to rebuild, what with all the municipal hoops that we had to jump through because of the non-existing environmental issues. We’re not quite done, but we have a roof to keep us dry, lots of windows to see our beautiful setting and a big rock fire pit where many a story was told. Our house is a dream come true, built by friends and family and all those who have been there for us! Marlon Orthsner worked magic with the wood from Haney Builders. Thanks to my father-in-law Dick Scott who got us some excellent deals with his charm. There is plenty of heat from Peter Schalkx and Sons from True North Mechanical. Many thanks to Billy Robinson from M.R. Plumbing and all my friends, family and neighbors for putting up with the long hours of noise. Thanks to Phoenix Structural for the beautiful plans and Actual Landscaping for the patch of grass that helped to make it home. We can’t say enough to all those that helped in any way possible. Even a shoulder for Dar to lean or cry on after losing every worldly possession. We started from scratch and were able to put our resources together and build a house made out of love and hope with the best friends one could ask for! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if there is anything we can ever do to repay your kindnesses, please call and we will be there. arlene

Irish Rovers play Maple Ridge The last time you saw The Irish Rovers on television was likely in the ’80s on their third national television series Party With The Rovers. Now they’re back on national television with a new special, Home In Ireland, filmed entirely on location in Northern Ireland. The special will be launched nationally on the PBS network across the U.S. and Canada on Nov. 27 and will also be released on DVD throughout Europe. The Rovers embarked on a tour across Canada in September and will be stopping in Maple Ridge next week for a show at The ACT. Throughout their legendary career, The Irish Rovers have been called a Canadian institution, and have touched three generations of music lovers. These Irishmen became so much a part of the Canadian culture

Who is the Pitt Meadows Museum?
“Life Is A Magnificent Adventure. Enjoy Your Journey”
Looking Back by Leslie Norman The Pitt Meadows Museum will now be an occasional contributor to the Looking Back column. With that in mind, its first submission answers: “Who is the Pitt Meadows Museum?”
– David Hennessey
In Loving Memory of David Hennessey
B
orn in Dublin, Ireland, David passed away in Maple Ridge surrounded by his family on September 23, 2011. Lovingly remembered by his beautiful wife Betty, his children Sandra (Cliff), David (Christelle), Claudine (Steve) and Justin, his grandchildren, Darah, Matt, Brandon. Kallisté, Enzo, Cadence and Jem, and his siblings Bernadette, Austin (Mary) and Gerry (Margaret), extended family and many friends. David loved his family with all of his heart. He inspired and motivated his children and grandchildren to always do their best and “never quit”. He taught them that “Whatever you want in life you can achieve.” David was a news and sports enthusiast. Constantly striving for more knowledge about the world we live in. David was inspired by the writings of the likes of Earl Nightingale “Lead the Field”, Norman Vincent Peale “The Power of Positive Thinking”, Og Mandino “Secrets For Success And Happiness” and Napoleon Hill “You Can Work Your Own Miracles ”. He was always good humored, full of life and interested in everyone. He believed in the impossible and achieved the impossible. If you ever felt down, you could rely on him to motivate and inspire. His words of wisdom lightened even the heaviest load and he always had an interesting and humorous story to share. He was a genuine story teller. David was a pioneer in business who continually created new ways to serve his clients. He was devoted to making the world a better place one person at a time. David showed that the power of co-operation and great service was the best way to build a successful business. David’s approach to living was as a man of integrity with a gentle soul whose generous spirit always made life better for those all around him. In his own words... “Follow Your Heart and Live Your Dreams”

On Oct. 24, 1979 they applied for society status and the incorporation was granted in early 1980. Registered Charity status was obtained about five years later. The museum itself has had three locations: a small house near the Heritage Hall on Harris Road up until 1995; a larger house on Davison Road until 1998; and its present location in the Old General Store (1886c.) building since June 1998. The museum’s second site, the Hoffmann & Son machine shop (1936) building, was donated to the museum society in 1999. The two buildings sit opposite each other on Harris Road just south of the CPR tracks. Both the museum buildings have heritage designation and both buildings are maintained with funding from the parks and leisure services commission, while capital dollars to restore the buildings and prepare them for public occupancy were provided by the district (now city).

Meadow Ridge Rotary Club meadowridgerotary.ca
Improve your Home, Improve your World f you want to improve the world, the best place to start is right at home. That has always been the vision of the Meadow Ridge Rotary club. Most parents know full well that motivating our youth to be the best they can be is easier said than done. You cannot force, but you can certainly entice our youth to spend a substantial part of their free time participating in a sport of their choice. The Meadow Ridge Rotary club identiÀed that there was a shortage of minor league sports facilities in our communities and decided to do something about that. For 20 years we have organized a sports banquet, an evening where we honour outstanding local athletes, raise funds for sport facilities and have a good time. The result: close to $500,000 was raised and disbursed to 17 local projects as “seed money” or contributions ranging from our Àrst project the Albion sports park ball diamond to our latest one the batting cage for the Meadow Ridge Minor Softball Association on the same location. Among the many projects were an all weather Àeld, sports courts, lacrosse box etc. Kudos to the high school coaches and the volunteer youth sports organizations that were responsible for the athletic successes from our communities. As a result we were able to induct 34 outstanding athletes as Home Town Heroes as role models for those attending our local schools. All of these individuals have come through our youth sport organizations and gone on to international competition. Their pictures and stories are displayed at all our local schools as an inspiration for the current cohort of students. The message these poster convey is that many of these heroes had played “in my gym”, “in my sports league”, “on my team” that they too could get there from here.

Bruins fall, despite 2nd half heroics
Flames fall in home opener by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter It wasn’t the start to the Pacific International Junior Hockey League season the Ridge Meadows Flames were hoping for Friday night as they were shut out 3-0 at home by the Grandview Steelers. Their fortunes didn’t improve Saturday night either, as the Flames lost 4-1 to the North Delta Devils on the road to fall to 0-2 to start their 2011/12 campaign. The Steelers didn’t waste any time getting on the board Friday night as they silenced the home crowd with the opening goal just a minute and a half into the game. The Steelers held their 1-0 lead until midway through the second period, when Kentaro Tanaka scored on the power play to give Grandview a two-goal lead after Terence Trusdale was called for cross-checking. The Flames’ fortunes didn’t fare any better in the third as a costly giveaway resulted in the Steelers scoring short-handed, putting the game out of reach. Saturday saw the Flames get off to a good start against the North Delta Devils, with Peyton Lupul scoring late in the first to give Ridge Meadows a 1-0 lead. However, the Devils responded early in the second with a pair of goals to pull ahead of the Flames. North Delta added two more in the third, handing the Flames their second loss of the season. Flames goaltender Tyler Klassen received third-star honours both nights as he made a total of 74 saves to keep the Flames competitive. However, with just a goal to their credit in their first two regular season games, the Flames will need much more than goaltending if they want to start registering wins. Help is on the way, with the return of forward Danny Brandys imminent. Brandys was the Flames leading scorer last season with 20 goals and 52 assists, good for second in the Pacific International Junior Hockey League with 72 points.
• The Flames are set to play division rivals, the Aldergrove Kodiaks, tonight on the road before facing the Richmond Sockeyes Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Planet Ice, Maple Ridge.

Senior Marauders draw with Windsor staff reporter The Pitt Meadows Marauders played to a 21-21 draw with Windsor secondary in senior boys’ AA football exhibition action Friday. The Windsor Dukes were responsible for knocking the Marauders out of the playoffs last season, and defeated the Marauders in the AA junior varsity pro-
vincial championships in 2008. The senior Marauders play their first league game of the regular season on Friday, Sept. 30, at home under the lights against the Moscrop Panthers. Game time is 7:30 p.m. The Pitt junior football squad got its first win of the regular season last Wednesday, blanking Abbotsford Collegiate 15-0.
The junior Marauders were 0-2 in preseason action, and will play their home opener today (Wednesday) at 3:30 p.m. against Samuel Robertson Technical Titans. After going 2-0 in preseason play, the Titans dropped their first league game of the season to Langley, getting shutout 26-0 last Wednesday.
The Ridge Meadows Bruins men’s rugby team managed to close the gap after a slow first half, but ultimately lost by a score of 38-33 to Simon Fraser University, dropping to 0-2 in regular season Division 3 play. SFU demonstrated fine passing and running in the first half as they were able to control the flow of play and go into halftime leading 24-0. The second half featured a more aggressive and determined Bruins team, as they scored an impressive five tries, converting on four of those. Dustin Fletcher provided some fancy moves and nice passing, while Rob Hughes pounded in an impressive three tries. Logan Duke Bodnarchuk and Josh Ladd each provided a try as well. Reed Nelson was excellent on try conversions as he managed to make all four he attempted. Liam Leyland almost converted on a try but just missed wide. The Bruins have two more games on the road but hope to come home to a supportive crowd on Saturday, Oct. 22 for an 11:30 a.m. kick-off at Thomas Haney Secondary School against UBC. Meanwhile, the Bruins’ women’s side lost 29-15 to the Brit Lions on Saturday, falling to 0-3 in Tier 2 play.

staff reporter The Meadow Ridge Knights junior bantam football team improved to 4-0 after a hard fought 34-18 win over the Abbotsford Falcons at home at Samuel Robertson Technical secondary on Saturday. The entire offensive line of Peter DeZueew, Mackenzie Baust, Adam Chislett, Thomas Janke, and Devon Keoughan were the key to the win as they won the battle in the trenches. Riley Kenal got the final touchdown to seal the victory, while Jeremy Kankalongo ran like a train and Brandon Shanley had a great game on defence. The Knights will try to keep their unbeaten streak alive as they next face the 2-2 Chilliwack Red Giants at home this Saturday. The junior bantam squad weren’t alone in the win column as many of the Meadowridge Knights Community Football Association’s other team were victorious last weekend. The atom Gold Knights played their inter-club rivals the Blue Knights in their only regular season meeting, winning 14-6.

The Blue Knights took a 6-0 lead at halftime with some strong play by the defence led by Tristan Hawke, Jaxon Smart and Ty Verrier. Offensive linemen Carlos Redekopp, Mitchell Alcinay, William Ferguson and Tyson Smith put forth a great effort in keeping the Gold Knight defence at bay. However, the Gold Knights regrouped at half time with quarterback A d a m Jones leading the way. Jacob Bell and Josh Tokaryk led the offensive line and helped Eric Clark and Kurtis Brown run for touchdowns. Before getting injured, James Ross made three critical tackles on defence for the Gold Knights. Tyson Phare and Isaiah Cavalli made some great plays to keep the Blue Knights off the score sheet for the rest of the game. The peewee Gold Knights beat the peewee Blue Knights 6-0 in their inter-squad matchup. The Gold Knights were led
by Eric Tweten, Jaydeep Sachar and Jackson Smith. In four games, the defence has allowed an average of less than 10 points per game. On offence, Cody Stewart and Brock Pelwecki provided great blocking for the running attack. Chase Wise, Anthony Cameron, Liam Cumarasamy and Adam Brass made key tackles for the Blue Knights on the defensive side of the ball while Alex Rideout, Dylan DeBeer and Jake Loftus played well on offence. The midget team was scheduled to play Burnaby on Saturday, but won by default as Burnaby did not have enough players. The midget Knights now sit at 2-2 for the season and play in Coquitlam this coming Saturday. The Knight’s bantam team saw their record drop to 2-2 after falling to the top-ranked North Surrey Tigers, 38-6. Kurtis Blaine had a solid game for the Knights running the ball well and scoring the knights lone touchdown. Jordan Howe and Alex Cox led the defense.

The fifth annual Pumpkin Cross B.C. Cup cycling race is set to roll through Maple Ridge on Sunday, Oct. 23, and registration is now open for those wanting to participate in the event. The Halloween-themed cyclocross race takes place at Maple Ridge Equi-Sport Centre and will feature all levels of cyclists competing while dressed in costume. “There are going to be some new twists and turns to this year’s course that will keep all of the racers on their toes,” said race organizer Barry Lyster, owner of Local Ride Bike Shop. “In addition to obstacles like Lezyne Lake, the Spooky Forest, and the Coffin, our course designers have some tricks up their sleeves.” Cyclocross is a type of off-road cycling where racers take multiple laps of a course that typically takes under 10 minutes to complete, with the entire race time clocking in at under 60 minutes. Racers face obstacles
and barriers for which they may have to dismount from their bicycles to overcome. Due to its fast-paced and spectator-friendly nature, cyclocross is a popular activity for all levels of competitors, and offers a range of categories from beginner to elite. Over the five-year history of the race, organizers have strongly encouraged participants to dress in costume, with a cash bonus offered for racers who can win their race in costume and a prize for overall best costume. “We anticipate an even larger rider turnout than last year with a larger percentage getting creative with costumes,” said Lyster. “It’s great to see more and more people embracing the festive Halloween spirit by dressing up and having fun.” Pumpkin Cross offers a free kids’ race and a $10 race entry for youth under 17. To register for the race, visit www.karelo.com.

Mrs. Kilsby 604.462.0026
Born in Dublin, Ireland, David passed away in Maple Ridge surrounded by his family on September 23, 2011. Lovingly remembered by his beautiful wife Betty; his children Sandra (Cliff ), David (Christelle), Claudine (Steve) and Justin; his grandchildren Darah, Matt, Brandon, Kalliste, Enzo, Cadence and Jem; his siblings Bernadette, Austin (Mary) and Gerry (Margaret); his extended family and many friends. David loved his family with all of his heart. He inspired and motivated his children and grandchildren to always do their best and “never quit.” He taught them that “Whatever you want in life, you can achieve.” David was a news and sports enthusiast, constantly striving for more knowledge about the world we live in. David was inspired by the writings of Earl Nightingale’s Lead the Field, Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, Og Mandino’s Secrets for Success and Happiness, and Napoleon Hill’s You Can Work Your Own Miracles. He was always good humoured, full of life and interested in everyone. He believed in the impossible and achieved the impossible. If you ever felt down, you could rely on him to motivate and inspire. His words of wisdom lightened even the heaviest load, and he always had an interesting and humorous story to share. He was a genuine story-teller. David was a pioneer in business who continually created new ways to serve his clients. He was devoted to making the world a better place, one person at a time. David showed that the power of cooperation and great service was the best way to build a successful business. David’s approach to living was as a man of integrity with a gentle soul, who’s generous spirit always made life better for all around him. In his own words, “Follow Your Heart and Live Your Dreams.” We love you and miss you every day. Funeral Mass will be held Friday, September 30, 2011 at 11:00 am in St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Maple Ridge. Celebration of life/ reception will follow at 2:00 pm in Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel. In Lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to The Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca

2011 SALEM FG T21RD
Did you know that getting older is one of the highest risk factors for breast cancer? Did you know that finding smaller tumours earlier saves lives? Breast GUEST SPEAKER Jane Ambrose cancer survivor, Jane Ambrose, will share her story of navigating the Breast Cancer journey. Since being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, Jane has been a strong supporter of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Jane has told her story to a variety of audiences from Mother/Daughter Breakfasts at local high schools to media interviews. Jane is featured on the Canadian Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Navigation Map offering encouragement to women newly diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Jane also volunteers for the Foundation and serves on the Community Grants Review Committee. Surviving breast cancer was a life changing experience for Jane. Shortly after her surgery, she participated in her first CIBC Run for the Cure walking 1 km and raising funds for the Foundation. A year later, Jane joined a Survivor Learn to Run Clinic which trained her to run the 5 km. Since then Jane has participated every year, raising over $30,000. After her first 5 km run, Jane realized that anything is possible and made a career change joining her husband, Ken, at RE/MAX LifeStyles Realty as a local Real Estate Professional.
