Mayor accepts challenge for debate Ernie Daykin, Craig Ruthven will go head to head by Ph i l M e lnych uk staff reporter

Pickin’ a pumpkin Mitchell Kinley, 7, picks a pumpkin at the Laity patch in Maple Ridge on Sunday. See slide show @ mapleridgenews.com.

He wants to knock off the guy in the top spot, so Craig Ruthven wants Mayor Ernie Daykin to lay it all on the line in a public debate. A date has yet to be set, but Ruthven wants a meeting early in November. “I’m challenging the mayor. If he agrees to it, then we can set a date,” he said. “I’m hoping he’ll say yes.” Ruthven, who recently switched from being a council candidate to running for mayor, said the debate will cover the whole gamut. “Everything from business development, to shopping, to servicing – to what’s your vision for Maple Ridge, the broader vision.” See Mayors, p10

Leisure Centre shut down, again Evacuated Saturday after leak in chlorine room by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter More than 100 people had to be evacuated from the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre and Greg Moore Youth Centre on Saturday after a sensor detected a chlorine gas leak in the room where the public pool’s chlorination system is housed.

After reopening Saturday, the facility was closed again on Sunday after a second chlorine alarm went off. District of Maple Ridge spokesperson Fred Armstrong said there was never a threat to public safety, but the facilities were evacuated as a precautionary measure. “The level that was detected was way below what is harmful,” he said. “But we thought it was best to err on the side of caution.” Just after 1 p.m. on Saturday,

sensors detected higher t h a n normal chlorine gas levels and an alarm w a s sounded. A level Armstrong of one part per million in the air of the facility’s chlorine room, which is

located outside of the building and isolated from public areas, was detected. Chlorine gas is considered very toxic, with exposure causing lung damage at levels of 60 parts per million, according to Health Canada, while levels of 1,000 ppm can be fatal. Staff at the leisure centre contacted the Maple Ridge Fire Department and evacuated the building Saturday, allowing patrons to obtain their personal belongings. See Pool, p13

Traffic light can’t come soon enough Pedestrian-controlled crossing promised for 224th Street by summer by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter Crossing 224th Street will be easier and safer next year, thanks to a new pedestrian-controlled trafﬁc light at 121st Avenue, just north of Maple Ridge’s downtown. Seniors heard that at a meeting Thursday in the legion hall packed with candidates running for council in the Nov. 19 election. The project entails advancing the public works schedule by a year, and installing the light next spring, providing council approves the budget. In addition, some of the shrubs in the median along the street will be trimmed or removed, to make visibility easier, said District of Maple Ridge spokesman Fred Armstrong. “That’s happening right away.” Bonnie Klovance, chairperson of the seniors safety control committee, has been pushing for such a light and said after the meeting the district has been cooperative and helpful. “We look forward to more improvements.” On Tuesday, after the meeting, another seniors was hit by a vehicle while crossing 224th St. “It’s unfortunate that, after all the positive information,” from last

THE NEWS/files

Another seniors was hit by a vehicle while crossing 224th Street on Tuesday. week’s meeting, Klovance said. It included an ICBC presentation on pedestrian safety, telling people to ensure they’re visible and to look left and right and left again before crossing and to watch out for vehicles approaching from behind and turning into a pedestrian’s path.

“Trafﬁc safety is 50 per cent pedestrian responsibility,” she said. With so many running for council, 224th Street has become a bit of an election issue. However, she’s happy with the schedule of next spring for installing the light. She’d still like to see a 30 km/h

speed limit on the road and possibly speed bumps, and pointed out in the next two decades that 40 per cent of the population will be over 65. The crowd ﬁlled most of the basement room in the Royal Canadian Legion’s Branch No. 88. One questioner, from the United

Kingdom, said pedestrians have no rights in her country and that people need to be more aware when crossing roads. “How many 19-year-olds are going to do 30 km/h down 224th Street?” Despite the concerns about safety, RCMP Cpl. Dale Somerville said there were only two pedestrianvehicle accidents in the past two years on that part of 224th Street, both a result of pedestrian error and both resulting in minor injuries. One happened in February 2010 and the other last September. On the other hand, a man was killed last January at 222nd Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, a fully controlled intersection, after being hit in the crosswalk by a truck making a left turn on to Dewdney Trunk Road. Candidate Grover Telford, with the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society, asked about raising the crosswalks, such as in the Zeller’s parking lot, so they’re more visible to motorists. Cost for the light will be about $90,000. Once installed, pushing it will turn the light red for a period of time based on a walking speed of 1.2 metres per second. But that could be adjusted to allow for seniors, said transport technologist Michael Eng. “We’ll look at that and see if we can increase it.” Klovance said in a recently that more than 600 seniors live in the area and that she collected a petition of 300 names in support of a light.

Downtown incentives sparking digging and building by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter It’s not even completed its first year, but already Maple Ridge’s incentive program is getting shovels in the ground and helping realize the goal of a densified downtown. More than $22 million in construction projects have been approved or are about to be approved, sustainability manager Laura Benson told council Monday. The program took effect Jan. 10 and already 24 projects either have received building permits, or are in the preliminary rezoning or development permit process. She showed council an interactive map on the District of Maple Ridge’s website, giving details about each project. The new Fiat dealership on Lougheed Highway and 228th Street participated in the incentive program is already finished, while a new four-storey condo

building at the foot of 224th Street, valued at $4 million, is well underway. Other projects, such as the $2-million renovation of Haney Place Mall and $1.9-million reconstruction of the east end of the mall for Thrifty Foods, are also participating in the incentive program. “I think this is a huge success for this program,” said Coun. Craig Speirs. “That’s huge in a year.” The program has to be kept going, he added. It offers a range of attractions, such as the district paying up to $75,000 to cover part of the development charges on a green, four-storey apartment project, to more than 50-per-cent discounts for building permits, to fast-tracking projects, to exemption from property taxes for either three or six years. The incentives available depend on whether it’s a residential or commercial project, if it’s a four or ﬁve-story building, the location in the downtown and if it’s a green, LEED-certiﬁed project. Chief administrator Jim Rule told

council that the program is working. “You can see tangible results.” Once residential capacity is added, commercial development will follow. According to the map, 455 new condos or apartments are about to be added to the town centre, in the ﬁrst year of the program, assuming those at the rezoning and permit stages move on to actual construction. While the map says the blue dots are in the building-permit application stage, many projects have been completed, Benson pointed out. “Throwing a map out there so people can see what’s happening is pretty neat. Keeps that momentum going.” She said one encouragement for investors was the district’s own spending in the core area over several years, adding up to about $100 million. • View online presentation: http://mapleridge.articulate-online. com/p/2960119142/DocumentViewRouter. ashx?Cust=29601&DocumentID=02cc1314caf2-4950-b78b-dafe3e23441e&Popped=True &InitialPage=player.html.

Voters can skip the speeches and platitudes and just talk to directly to would-be leaders on Maple Ridge council on Saturday.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON

To ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Halloween, the Bylaw Services Department for the District of Maple Ridge wishes to remind all residents of a number of important issues.

FIRECRACKERS & FIREWORKS A Community Fireworks display will be held on October 30 at 7:00pm at the Albion Fairgrounds. The sale, purchase or possession of firecrackers and fireworks is prohibited in Maple Ridge. The RCMP, Maple Ridge Fire Department and Maple Ridge Bylaws Department will be patrolling our community during the weekend leading up to Halloween, and in full force on Monday, October 31. Contact the RCMP immediately if you witness dangerous use of fireworks. For further information on the fireworks bylaw, please visit our website www.mapleridge.ca or contact the Maple Ridge Fire Department at 604-463-5880.

and pamphlets on display and a chance to have half-hour round-table talks in the Genstar Studio Theatre. A town crier will drum up public interest at the Haney Farmers Market, while a ﬁddler will entertain kids and families. “It’s going to be a lot of fun,” said candidate Wendy Cook, who helped organize a similar event on Bowen Island that led to a 60-percent voter turnout. Last election, only about 29 per cent of eligible voters in Maple Ridge showed up. Candidates don’t have to spend their entire time at the event, which runs until 6:30 p.m. They could just show up when it’s their time to be at the round-table discussions, which start at 2 p.m. Mayoralty candidates have also been invited. Challenger Craig Ruthven has been allotted a half hour at the round table at 5 p.m., followed by Ernie Daykin. Ruthven, though, said he won’t be able to make that meeting.

Community groups can also set up tables in the lobby. The intent is to allow voters and candidates to mingle so there can be more of a connection compared to the strict formats of allcandidates meetings, at which speech times and responses are limited to two or three minutes. A similar event takes place Nov. 1 at Thornhill Community Hall, on 98th Avenue and 260th Street, 7 p.m. – but it’s just for newcomers to the election process. Challengers for council seats will have a brief question-and-answer session, followed by a reception, during which they’ll mix with the public. Current or past council members are welcome in the audience, but questions and answers are just for the challengers for council seats, said organizer Betty von Hardenberg. “We thought we’d give a greater opportunity for the public to get to know them, because we have so many people

Trustees in Whonnock Voters who want to hear from the 11 Maple Ridge school board candidates can at Whonnock Lake Centre, Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. It is the only trustee all-candidates meeting prior to the Nov. 19 election, and is hosted by the Whonnock Community Association. Moderator Phil Johnson is hoping to see

Halloween is a very stressful time for our pets, especially cats and dogs. Noise from random firecrackers and fireworks can be very disruptive for your pets, as is the opening and closing of the door to greet ‘trick or treaters.’ In past years Bylaws, working in partnership with the BC SPCA, have been forced to impound animals that became disoriented and lost when left outside during the days leading up to and on Halloween night. This can be prevented. We recommend that you keep your dogs and cats indoors during Halloween to reduce the negative impact on our furry friends. There is information available online at bcspca.ca titled ‘Protect Your Pets at Halloween’ that will help you plan for a safe and enjoyable Halloween for your entire family. Please call your Maple Ridge Bylaws Department at 604.467-7305 if you have any questions.

Trustees to vote on raise by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school trustees will vote tonight whether or not to give their positions a raise. They will choose one of four options, three of which would see the base trustee stipend increase from $364 to $3,643 per year. Currently, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Board of Education trustees are paid $18,207 a year. Trustees could also opt to defer the decision until Oct. 31 next year. Per the board’s bylaw, an arms-length committee made up of secretary treasurer Wayne Jefferson and three citizen representatives, reviewed trustee stipends, comparing them to nine nearby school districts: Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey, Delta, New Westminster, Richmond, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and North Vancouver. The committee’s ﬁrst option would bring trustee stipends in line with the average pay for all nine districts – $21,850 a year. However, all the districts used for comparison, with the exception of New Westminster,

have larger student populations than the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows School District. The second option proposed would see trustee pay increased to $19,555 annually. That ﬁgure is based on the average of trustee stipends in Abbotsford and Langley. The third option would allow for cost of living increase of two per cent, raising the stipend to $18,571. Any pay hike wouldn’t come into effect until after the Nov. 19 election. However, incumbents Susan Carr, Dave Rempel, and board chair Ken Clarkson could be voting on their own salaries, should they be re-elected, as will Pitt Meadows trustee Eleanor Palis, who has already been re-elected by acclamation. Outgoing trustee Mike Huber said any time a politician votes on their own pay, it raises ﬂags with the public. “Trustees really shouldn’t have a say,” he said. “It should be out of the hands of the politicians.” Huber said that he will likely vote with the majority of the board on the issue, adding that he would refuse a wage increase if it affected him personally. “I would refuse for

“Given that I’m actually running, I‘m kind of staying at arms length,” said Neale. The decision to hold an all-candidates meeting was left with DPAC’s executive, which opted decided not to organize one, according to Neale. Running for school trustee in Maple Ridge:

that reason ... I’ve never been in favour of dictating your own pay,” he said. “It should be determined by an outside body.” However, Huber does believe trustees are underpaid for the work they do. He estimates that he spends 20 hours a week in his role as trustee, double that during budget talks or during the recent school closure process. “A truly effective trustee is grossly under-compensated for the job they could do,” he said, adding that increasing the stipend could make the position more attractive. “You can do the job in less time, but you won’t be effective.” The Maple RidgePitt Meadows School District has struggled to balance budgets in recent years due to falling student enrollment. Huber said voters will ultimately be able to hold trustees accountable for where they spend that funding. “As a trustee, you are constantly on the soapbox about the lack of ministry funding ... but [by voting for a pay raise], fundamentally you are taking money out of the classroom,” he said.

Susan Carr, Ken Clarkson, Gary Cleave, Cherie Delainey, Mary Flavelle, Kathy Marshall, Mike Murray, Michelle Neale, Dave Rempel, Melanie Scott, and Rod Smelser. In Pitt Meadows, Sarah Nelson and Eleanor Palis have both been acclaimed to the school board.

Bull and buzz Insomnia, anxiety, allergic reactions, palpitations and withdrawal – a list of symptoms from an illegal drug? No, it’s what adults have known for years are the downsides of drinking too much coffee and tea. Unfortunately, now the kids are emulating their parents by drinking energy drinks that typically have twice the caffeine of pop and just about as much as a cup of drip coffee. The kids think these drinks are cool, their logos are eye-catching and they are easy to get at corner stores and grocery outlets. A single can of Red Bull or Monster falls within Health Canada guidelines for caffeine consumption for older teens, but what happens if two or more are consumed in a day? Should the government have taken a tougher stance and prevented these drinks from being sold anywhere but pharmacies? The more adults try to regulate teen behaviour, the more challenges they face. And the fact that caffeine is mildly addictive is not lost on companies marketing their products to kids in new and innovative ways. The popularity of these beverages among teens looking for a light buzz is reminiscent of the older generations’ interest in cigarettes. For teens, water is boring, pop is old-school and so is juice, although neither are great as they are full of sugar. But are we comfortable with kids picking up an energy drink at lunch or on the way home from school? At the very least, parents should be educating themselves as to what their children are ingesting. Health Canada’s suggested limits for daily caffeine intake are roughly 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. Parents can at least use the new content disclosure rules to ﬁnd out whether their kids’ drinks measure up. – Black Press

A long road to ‘community living’ VICTORIA – My first glimpse of B.C.’s care system for developmentally disabled people was as a teen in the early 1970s. My grandfather brought me to his workplace, Tranquille “school.” The Kamloops institution that began life as a B.C. Views tuberculosis sanitoTom Fletcher rium in 1907 was by then converted to warehouse a different group of society’s outcasts. Ambulatory inmate-patients wearing locked-on football helmets wandered the courtyard of a sprawling prison-hospital complex that featured its own fire station. Tranquille would hit the headlines a decade later, when Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy announced that she was enacting a plan, years in the making, to close such places. Tranquille, with 323 inmate-patients and 675 staff, would be first. A 1983 newspaper report captured the mood: “Mentally retarded persons in institutions must not be ‘dumped back on the doorstep of their natural families’ when these institutions are closed, the executive director of the B.C. Association for the Mentally Retarded warned Monday.” The B.C. Government Employees’ Union began an occupation of Tranquille buildings the next day, expelling managers. The sit-in lasted three weeks, joined by Tranquille’s 120 psychiatric nurses, before staff agreed to work on the sys-

tem that would replace it a year later. Some patients did go back to their families, with support services. And today B.C. has a network of 700 group homes, essentially smaller institutions. Their province-wide union contract was just renewed under the B.C. government’s “net zero” wage mandate, with an additional $18 million to enroll employees in dozens of contracted agencies to a pension plan for municipal employees. Lobbying and court action have forced expansion of provincial services to those diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol conditions. People with Down syndrome and other disabilities now live much longer, to the point where some develop dementia, as well. All this is on top of the many previously independent seniors developing dementia and other disabling conditions at an accelerating rate. Stephanie Cadieux, the latest minister of what is now called Social Development, has asked for a multi-ministry examination of the adult care agency, Community Living B.C. As CLBC’s budget rises past $710 million, there are services from the health and children and families ministries going to disabled people, as well. The political focus has been on CLBC’s closure of 65 group homes with only 200 residents, and its push for adult adoptions rather than institutions with shift workers. This is true “community living” that should be established where practical, with appropriate inspections. The NDP wants a moratorium on group home closures, even if they’re decrepit or mostly empty. It wants a backlog of 2,800 applications for new or increased service eliminated, apparently with-

out any efﬁciency moves. It wants an “independent review” of CLBC followed by a full-time independent advocate for developmentally disabled people. (The NDP also wants independent advocates with ofﬁce staff and investigative powers for seniors and forest workers. B.C.’s independent children’s advocate continues to pile up reports with questionable effect in another area of intractable and growing social problems.)

“In a people-first organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate.” Cadieux says CLBC’s internal service quality advocate has a high success rate resolving family complaints. A toll-free line has been set up to direct service issues to a new client support group. On Friday, Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a people-ﬁrst organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of deﬁned cost control is too politically risky.

THE NEWS/letters What we need more of is ambition EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Plenty of skilled workers to go around (Letters, Oct. 19). Taunia Sabanski writes that plenty of unemployed skilled workers are available. This is in reply to my letter in The News that we have a shortage of skilled and ambitious workers. We have a surplus of unskilled workers and poorly skilled workers who must compete globally. An employer will hire someone if they can make a profit from their labour or skill. Companies, large and small, exist to make a profit, not to provide someone with a job Why else would someone put their savings into a business? However, many people feel society is obligated to provide them with employment. Companies do not exist to provide employment. For someone to say they have a BA or some other costly educational diploma does not entitle them to some good paying job. Their skill has no value if that skill can not be used for profit. I have seen a number of skilled job seekers who are worth less than minimum wage. A business does not hire someone because they have some paper degree. They hire people to make a profit in their business. A large corporation and a small store need people who can help them turn a profit. If someone is highly educated in their chosen field and that field has little demand in the business world, why would they expect to be hired? Skill is only one part of any employment picture. We have a shortage of skilled and ambitious people. Ambition is likely more value that skill alone. Ambitious people will not sit around, hoping someone will provide them a job, or waiting for Baby Boomers to retire, or blame others for their situation. It does not take a lot for a person find self-employment opportunities. I have taught entrepreneurship courses in high school and found students have become, over the years, more interested in just being employees because it is easier. We need more ambition. Ambitious people can succeed certainly better than those who just complain. DAN BANOV MAPLE RIDGE

Don’t be a guinea pig EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Salmon mystery needs complete answer (mapleridgenews.com). “It would be tragic if an eco-war succeeds in stamping out fish farms, only to see B.C.’s wild sockeye continue to decline because we weren’t vigilant enough in uncovering other threats and trying to address them.” I understand that the fish farms in B.C.’s ocean waters contain Atlantic salmon. Couldn’t these Atlantic salmon be re-established if they were ‘stamped out’? If fish farms were removed from our oceans and established in inland tanks to see if their absence from the ocean would positively affect our wild salmon, no one would lose – except perhaps the corporations who own the farms; they would have to cover the expenses of establishing inland farms. Since there is some concern about the health effects of farmed salmon, it would be tragic if farmed salmon destroyed our wild salmon and we were left with fish that were not as healthy as the corporations were telling us they were. I’m not interested in seeing friends and family be guinea pigs for the farmed salmon industry. SHEILA PRATT MAPLE RIDGE

Thank you also to the residents EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: ‘A wonderful day in the neighbourhood (The News, Oct. 21). I am certainly happy that the ongoing drama and tragedy that was Northumberland Court has come to an end. Watching the video on The News website (mapleridgenews.com), I found one thing to be the most telling. As Mayor Ernie Daykin speaks and talks about how the demolition came to be, he mentions “the current property owner, the real estate agent, our bylaws folks, our buildings folks, our ﬁre department, senior staff, our lawyers.” How can one not notice that there is not a single mention of citizen or community participation in cleaning up, and I would argue leading the charge to get this ridiculous situation dealt with? So, as the mayor has clearly forgotten about the many Maple Ridge residents who called, emailed, went to council meetings and worked just as hard as municipal hall

That the mayor took time out of a busy schedule to play “wrecker” for a few minutes is ridiculous. Another example of municipal politics as a total gong show.

OCP calls for more densification downtown EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: Timing is right for car-free street (Cycling, Oct. 14). As a resident of Maple Ridge for more than 30 years, I care about how our municipality develops. I wonder which of the candidates for council and mayor have a long term view on the rational development of our community? Who of those running for local government supports our Ofﬁcial Community Plan, which at its core states that we need to densify and improve our town centre instead of having poorly planned sprawl? Recently, Jackie Chow of the cycling coalition, made some excellent points about how to make downtown more livable. Have a car-free road with enhanced shopping and services that would connect Haney Place Mall with Valley Fair malls, rather than use potential farm land in the Albion ﬂats and other outlying areas, for commercial purposes. Who has the vision and courage to stick with the OCP to resist pressures

from developers trying to make a buck or two in a short-term plan? I empathize with residents of new subdivisions on the outskirts of town, who may be pushing for more accessible shopping.

Who has the vision and courage to stick with the OCP to resist pressures from developers trying to make a buck or two in a short-term plan? But tell me why our local government doesn’t push for a better deal with those who want to do these projects, to have more of the infrastructure included, such as better roads, transit, cyclist and pedestrian access to the areas. Maybe there could be some local shopping and services as

part of the deal. Citizens of Maple Ridge, please take the time to check out the views of the candidates running for council in the Nov. 19 election. There are other important issues to consider besides the land-use concerns mentioned above. What about solutions to poverty, low-cost housing (we need to put more pressure on the provincial government for funds), creating a more livable, resilient community with cleaner ways to get around to necessary services. Voting, as pointed out in News Views on Oct. 14, is an important responsibility. Only 29 per cent of people voted in the 2008 election. This is a poor showing. Check it out and get out and vote. Attend an-all candidates meeting at 7 p.m. at Fraser View Village Hall, Oct. 27. Ask questions, try to discover what’s going on. It’s our children’s future, too. B. HANDFORD MAPLE RIDGE

Multinational corporations provide good jobs EDITOR, THE NEWS:

Re: It helps to know about kleptocracy (Along the Fraser, Oct. 21). I agree with Jack Emberly’s statement, “[some] corporate CEOs suck up fat bonuses and lifetime pensions, MLAs steal a 30 percent pay hike and Maple Ridge councillors allot themselves a 15 per cent jump in pay.” Having said that, his class warfare vendetta about the evil rich and the noble others is unfair and hypocriti-

cal. He mentions a sign held by a BCGEU member that read: “Working people should not have to live in poverty.” The BCGEU owns major equity in multinational corporations. It invests in Suncor Energy, Research in Motion, Barrick Gold, CN Rail, Exxon, Microsoft, to name just a few. These corporations provide jobs, livelihoods, benefits and pensions for millions of Canadians, union members among them, who are not

known to live in poverty. In fact, most union members would be in the 85th percentile, much closer to the wealthy than the poor. There are many variables for being wealthy or poor. It’s not black and white and should not be painted as such. Perhaps Mr. Emberly would benefit from the lady with the sign that read: “free hugs.” CHERRYL KATNICH MAPLE RIDGE

City staff are recommending council approve an application to add more residential units to a waterfront development in south Bonson. The recommendation to rezone four remaining empty parcels of land in Osprey Village comes after more than a year of tweaking the proposal. The four parcels, located on Barnston View Road, are at the centre of the development. Mosaic Homes wants to build four three-storey buildings containing a total of 24 residential units and 12 ground-level commercial units, almost double the minimum

Candidates shouldn’t ignore social media: consultant One post or tweet a day, is enough to show voters that you’re listening by Phi l M elnyc h u k staff reporter

t’s changing all the time and not always easy to understand, but Maple Ridge candidates not on FaceBook or Twitter are missing a way to connect with voters who could put them in a council seat, Nov. 19. Having a FaceBook page, tweeting regularly, shows you care about the community and issues, says Brenda Garcia, with Thrive Solutions. “Putting yourself in that arena, just gives you the chance to connect with people who are on FaceBook, but are not getting out in the community.” Even making one post or tweet a day, is enough to show voters that you’re listening or that you want their feedback. Setting up a FaceBook page allows candidates to advertise their events, get in front of large group of people and gives voters a chance to learn and participate, who wouldn’t necessarily get to a candidates’ meeting. She pointed out most people have FaceBook accounts for personal use and while they may not be interacting with candidates, they could be reading and following. Along with pamphlets, ads, signs and events, social media is “another tool in the tool box. “It’s another medium of getting in front of people.”

Vicki McLeod, with Main Street Communications and The Social Chicks – a social media consulting company – also briefly reviewed the online campaign efforts of Maple Ridge politicians. She didn’t want to say who was doing well and who needed help, but noted in a FaceBook search only three candidates showed up. That can be changed by ensuring tags or key words are in the title and are identified during a search. Candidates also should have their own FaceBook pages so voters can check them out without being identified, and says she doesn’t want to “friend” a politician just to find out about them. Candidates on Twitter should also ensure they use #Maple Ridge or #Pitt Meadows and #ElectMR to reach likeminded followers.

“People vote for people they can trust. You have to form a relationship of trust.” Vicki McLeod, Main Street Communications

Only one candidate was using the latter when posting, she noted. Social media is a way of connecting with voters and developing trust. “People vote for people they can trust.

You have to form a relationship of trust.” Social media is here to stay, she added. But it’s one that’s changing all the time. “I don’t think anybody can claim to be an expert because it changes so fast.” Setting up accounts initially takes time but once candidates

√

start using them it gets easier and quicker. McLeod said social media community is huge,” and growing every day.” But it’s important though that candidates be clear about why they’re using social media and should be sincere about building relationships.

‘There’s still a ton of work to do’ Mayors from front Where do you see things going?” While there’s no date set yet, the venue will be the ACT. Ruthven is also inviting downtown businesses to set up displays in the entrance for the event. “We talked about it casually before. I think he’ll say yes,” Ruthven said of Daykin. “He wants to have a chance to showcase what [council has] accomplished. The public will like it because it’s two mayoral candidates.” Daykin accepted the challenge Tuesday. But he’d like a third party, maybe the chamber of commerce, to host the debate, as well as a moderator. “We need somebody to keep things on track. But I think it’s a great idea.” He said he’ll defend his record by reiterating the approach council has taken since he was first elected in 2008. “Relationships equal results.” Daykin cited as accomplishments the new North Alouette Greenway bridge,

the extension of the Metro Vancouver sewer line to the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre, the rebuild of 224th Street, and allowing construction of the new two-storey Westminster Savings Credit Union building on 224th, when the downtown plan called for three storeys, as well as the reno of the Haney Place Mall exterior and the arrival of Thrifty Foods. The public utility projects were done with a minimum of $11 million in senior government funding, he added. “Looking forward, there’s still a ton of work to do.” Based on the Agricultural Land Commission’s review of the development plan for Albion flats, soon to be released, “we’ll put forward a strong [exclusion] application process,” to allow development in the area on Lougheed Highway and 105th Avenue. Daykin also said he wants to do an area plan for the Albion industrial area on the south side of Lougheed Highway.

Traffic increases on Old Dewdney Trunk Haney Builders’ Supplies Ltd. Dropped last year but up by eight per cent this year by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter Trafﬁc counts done by the City of Pitt Meadows on Old Dewdney Trunk Road show that commuters are once again using the scenic route to bypass congested Lougheed Highway. Figures released Tuesday show that trafﬁc east of Harris Road on Old Dewdney increased by eight per cent, climbing

to 11,171 vehicles a day in 2011 from 10,273 in 2010. On the stretch west of Harris Road, trafﬁc decreased by four per cent, dropping to 11,579 vehicles a day in 2011 compared to 12,097 the year before. Staff attributed the increase on the eastern stretch of Old Dewdney to continued congestion and backups on Lougheed Hwy. east of Harris Road. “The congestion at these at-grade intersections has not been altered with the introduction of either one of the two new bridges and to avoid this ... vehicles continue to

use Old Dewdney Trunk Road,” city engineering services co-ordinator Ike de Boer said in a report to council. Although daily totals on Old Dewdney west of Harris Rd. have dropped, traffic volumes during peak periods remain high. The increase in traffic on the eastern stretch support the city’s push for an alternate road - the North Lougheed Connector. Other roads in Pitt Meadows are also seeing a drop in traffic. Hammond Road, west of the Katzie Slough, has seen a 15 per cent de-

crease in total traffic, or 1,471 fewer cars a day. Harris Rd., south of Lougheed Hwy., has seen traffic volumes drop by 18 per cent, or 4,168 cars a day. City staff can’t pinpoint a reason for the decreases. Traffic on Park Road remained steady from 2010 to 2011 with around 4,000 cars using the stretch every day. Commuters are also using Airport Way, which has seen a steady increase in traffic since it opened in May 2009. Traffic there has increased by 31 per cent, or 2,556 cars since 2010.

Mishap at MR mall A woman broke her ankle Thursday evening after slipping in hydraulic oil that leaked from a cherry picker at a Maple Ridge mall. A hose rupture occurred around 3 p.m. while a man was power-washing the roof of Valley Fair Mall, outside Changes

recycling depot, leaving him stranded in the bucket of the truck. To lower it, more oil had to be put into the ruptured hose. As cars drove over the spill, oil spread throughout the parking lot off 228th Street, while people walking over the oil, tracking it into the mall. Pressure from the power washer burst a water main, which added to the mess.

The Maple Ridge Fire Department closed the parking lot, spreading sand to prevent oil from getting into storm water drains. Fire chief Dane Spence estimates more than half an acre (0.2 hectares) was contaminated. “It’s a fairly substantial clean-up due to the spread,” said Valley Fair manager Nicole Archer.

The two lucky winners say they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided on any longterm plans for the money, but will invest in the family in the shortterm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to let it sink in ďŹ rst,â&#x20AC;? said Christina.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No public health riskâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pool from front The entire facility, including the pool, ďŹ tness centre and youth centre was cleared within 10 minutes, according to Armstrong, and patrons were given free passes for a return visit. The ďŹ re department, working with pool staff, shut down the chlorination system, and stayed on site until the gas levels in the chlorine room reached zero. The pool reopened Saturday, but a second chlorine alarm went off Sunday night, forcing staff to close the pool early. A repair technician conďŹ rmed on Tuesday there was a small leak in the chlorine service conduit. Manual water testing and chlorination will be used until the main system is repaired. However, Armstrong had no idea when that would be. Staff closed the pool to public swimming, but regularly scheduled swimming lessons were allowed to continue. The pool was reopened to the public Tuesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no time did the gas get into any public areas,â&#x20AC;? said Armstrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At no time was there any health risk to patrons, ďŹ rst responders or district staff due to the fast implementation of all safety procedures and protocols.â&#x20AC;?

Late night discount for truckers 50 per cent discount on new Port Mann for non-rush0hour trips staff reporter Truckers will ďŹ nd it cheaper to cross the new Port Mann Bridge if they do during off hours, Gateway Program executive Mike Proudfoot told Maple Ridge council Monday. A variable toll system will give the big rigs a 50-per-cent discount non rush-hour trips when the 10-lane bridge opens in 2013. Proudfoot was reviewing the highlights of the Gateway Program, which includes several major projects, the North and South Fraser Perimeter Roads, the Port Mann and Pitt River bridges.

OCTOBER IS POWER SMART MONTH. ENJOY SPECIALS ON ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCTS.

As an added incentive to car pool, registered vehicles with more than one person using the HOV lanes will get a 25-per-cent discount, which, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped, encourages more car pools and reduces congestion on Highway 1 from Langley into Vancouver. Once the new bridge opens, buses from Langley will also be able to cross the Fraser River for the ďŹ rst time in 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the largest transportation construction project in the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history,â&#x20AC;? Proudfoot said. The Port Mann Bridge is the second-largest cable-stayed bridge

in North America, he added. Despite discussion about using the old Port Mann Bridge as a park or gardens as some old bridges have been used in other cities, as soon as the new bridge opens, the old Port Mann Bridge will be dismantled, Proudfoot said. Council heard that 30 per cent of the trafďŹ c that uses the Port Mann does so from Surrey to Coquitlam. With the new South Fraser Perimeter Road connecting Tsawwassen with Surrey, the transportation ministry says that motorists seeking a toll-free route are unlikely to divert to Mission Bridge and create extra congestion on Lougheed Highway. Coun. Linda King said

the project allocated a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stunning amountâ&#x20AC;? of money and land to the automobile.

New Christmas tree Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new tree to gather under at Christmas, now that a big sequoia evergreen tree has been planted in Memorial Peace Park, near 224th Street. The addition is part of the reconstruction of the empty lot adjoining the park that the district just completed with left-over federal and provincial dollars that had been allotted for the 224th Street rebuild. The tree was recently planted as part of the work and is named the Peace Tree.

Golden Spoke Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative on the bicycle advisory committee has received the Golden Spoke award from cyclists for her help. Coun.

Following a study, the bike advisory committee recently discussed a new dedicated bike path along Lougheed Highway between 216th and Laity streets. The two-lane path would run on the north side of the highway and bridge an east-west gap in the cycling network. Funding for the project has not been approved yet.

Council last week passed a resolution calling for discussions with B.C. Hydro about the dam and seeking more information about Stave Lake, and the possible effects of Abbotsford using the lake as a drinking water source. Alouette reservoir feeds into Stave Lake, thus connecting the two water bodies. The Alouette River Management Society says a ďŹ shway would bridge the gap as it tries to rebuild the sockeye salmon run in the river. A ďŹ shway alongside the Alouette Dam would allow all species of salmon and trout direct access to the lake, which would help with ďŹ sh restoration. Hydro, though, has said the ďŹ shway and the dam restoration are two separate projects.

Ridge man killed in hit-and-run by Vikki Hopes Black Press The family of a Maple Ridge man killed in a hitand-run in Abbotsford say they forgive the driver and urge the person to come forward. Barry Cutforth, 37, was identiﬁed Monday morning as the person killed on South Parallel Road, between Whatcom and Cole roads, on Oct. 14 at about 8:30 p.m. He was struck by a passing motorist, who might have been driving a dark-coloured vehicle, said Mission RCMP Sgt. Miriam Dickson. Crystal Cutforth, Barry’s sister, spoke on behalf of the family, saying her brother was “a good guy with a great sense of humour” and he always put family ﬁrst. “We are asking the person who did this to come forward now, and do the right thing,” she said through her tears. “Please – my mother and I, and the rest of our family just want closure, and to grieve for him in peace.” Dickson said Cutforth was possible walking along the road en route to the Interior, although she did not have other details. He was wearing dark clothing in an area where there were no street

The family of Barry Cutforth of Maple Ridge gathered Monday at the site in Abbotsford where he was the victim of a fatal hit-andrun on Oct. 14. lights, she added. She said the driver would have known they hit something, although there is wildlife in the area and they might not have realized they had struck a person. “The individual likely panicked, and that’s why [he or she] left the scene.” Abbotsford Police Const. Ian MacDonald previously said that police had two interactions with Cutforth on the day of his death. Patrol ofﬁcers responded to a complaint from a fast food restaurant in the 34500 block of DeLair Road at 6:15 p.m., and one from a driver

on Highway 1 near Whatcom Road at 7:15 p.m. MacDonald would not reveal the nature of the complaints. Mission RCMP are heading the investigation because the incident occurred on First Nations land, which is under the jurisdiction of the RCMP and not municipal police. Dickson said the vehicle involved likely would have some front-end damage. •Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fashion in the 20th Century W

hat should I put on today? If you were a young woman in the early 1900s, the answer would begin with a corset laced in to narrow your waist to approximate the ideal 18 inches, a camisole, stockings, boots, several layers of petticoats, all topped up with a high Looking Back necked ankle length Sheila Nickols dress. Sandra Borger has prepared a Power Point presentation titled, “What are you Wearing? Fashion and Grooming in the 20th Century.” Her program for the Maple Ridge Historical Society will take place at St. Andrew’s Heritage Hall (the 1888 brick church at 22279 – 116th Avenue, just west of the Haney Bypass), 7:30 p.m. This well-researched program will take us decade by decade through the 20th Century, tracing cultural trends and historic events that have shaped our styles of clothing. Women’s fashion will be the main topic, but men’s clothing and accessories will also be part of the show. Borger, the presenter, earned a Bachelor’s degree with a major in history and a minor in women’s studies. In 2010, she completed a master of arts in history. Last year she gave a talk to the Maple Ridge Historical Society using her research into the lives of Mennonite women who immigrated to B.C. from Europe after the Second World War. This was based on interviews that were part of her

MA research. She is presently working part-time as a researcher for the Maple Ridge Museum. Today’s photo (page 19) from the Maple Ridge Museum collection features Adella and Kate Baker of Albion. It is a studio portrait taken in Seattle in 1918, when Adella was auditioning to join a circus. The clothing is a natural fit with no restricting corset. The necklines are no longer high, with a V-necked collar. By this time, after the First World War, times had changed, with women were participating in the work force. Clothing was a more comfortable fit and skirts were a little shorter, showing off their boots with ankles clearly visible. How shocking. Hats, scarves and gloves completed these fashionable outfits. Borger’s program will take us through all the changes in fashion through the 20th Century. As women turned from family ornaments to independent individuals and participants in the work force, their clothing evolved too. Men have always seemed to dress mainly for comfort, freedom of movement and practicality, and women’s wear changed, too. They also wanted to ride a bicycle or climb on a street car with ease, and to look attractive doing active things. This Maple Ridge Historical Society program is free for members. Drop-in visitors are welcome to attend for a $2 fee. • For further information about any of these events, please call the Maple Ridge Museum at 604-463-5311. Sheila Nickols is past president of the Maple Ridge Historical Society.

Painting pictures alla prima nique used extensively by the Impressionist movement, where you complete entire paintings in one session or two without waiting for layers to dry completely. It’s a technique that’s forced him to get better at drawing and study his subjects closely. “It’s almost like putting butter on a canvas,” says Dobson with delight. “If I can’t get it right the first time, I’ll throw it out.” Whether he’s painting cityscapes or landscape, Dobson tries to express his feelings in his art and hopes to bring the observer closer to his thoughts about the people, places and things he sees around him.

Stave Falls artist Stephen Dobson can’t put down his brush by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s staff reporter

he walls of Stephen Dobson’s home, tucked into the ever-encroaching woods of Rolley Lake Provincial Park, are filled with his paintings. You can follow canvases from the foyer as they wind their way through the house, up stairs into the living room and into his office. There are four paintings propped near his dining room table, still waiting to be hung, and row upon row of paintings in a room below. That’s what happens when you are a prolific painter who works on his art daily for eight straight years. Paintings pile up. “If you work at something, it becomes second nature to you,” says Dobson, shrugging at the mention of talent. “I really encouraged myself at the start to paint, paint and paint.” As a manager for large construction projects, Dobson isn’t someone who grew up with a brush in hand. Eight years ago, Dobson and his wife were walking on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton when they happened on a small painting in a store window.

The painting was a Renoir, although Dobson didn’t know that at the time, and he thought out loud: I can do something like that. That Christmas, his wife bought him a set of paints. “I haven’t been able to put them down since. It grabbed me and drew me in. I

can’t wait for my next blank canvas,” he says. “It’s the strangest thing.” Dobson works primarily with oil paints, and strives to find light and colour using confident brushwork. He often uses pallet knives and his fingers while painting. Dobson likes to work alla prima, a tech-

Worldwide photo event arrives in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge Photographer Matt Brennan needs you to make Help Portrait a reality When Pitt Meadows photographer Matt Brennan heard about Help Portrait, a worldwide event where photographers, makeup artists and graphic artists volunteer to do photo shoots for people in need, he knew he had to bring it to Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. He has booked an event for Dec. 10, and needs volunteers and donations to make Help Portrait happen locally for the first time. “This event has the potential to change people’s lives,” Brennan said. “People in need who haven’t had a por-

trait taken in years; single parents who can’t afford a family portrait; kids or parents who are battling an illness; these are the kinds of people who Help Portrait benefits.” Help PorBrennan trait is a worldwide event that allows families and individuals in need to be professionally photographed in a private photo shoot. The portraits are printed and framed on-site for the sub-

jects to take home with them. Community resources and assistance are also offered where needed. With a location booked in Pitt Meadows and one in the works in Maple Ridge, Brennan is putting out the call to photographers, makeup artists, graphic designers and general volunteers to come together and make Help Portrait happen. He and his volunteer team estimate they will need $4,000, as well as donations of equipment, photo printers, paper, frames and other supplies. Brennan says he is thrilled with a handful of local businesses and individuals

who have already approached him with offers of volunteer time and donations. “Help Portrait shows people in need that not only can they come to get their portrait taken and have that keepsake for the holidays, but it also lets them know that their community cares about them. I know that’s the kind of communities we have here in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.”

Donate, volunteer Individuals and businesses interested in donating or volunteering can call Matt Brennan at 604-817-7517 or email him at matt@matt-brennan.com. For more information, visit www.help-portrait.com.

String trio makes classical music cool Classical music is not boring, especially when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought to you by the three young, cool, and award-winning artists of InďŹ nitus. Made up of Alex Cheung (cello), Anthony Cheung (viola) and John H. Littlejohn (violin), the string trio is known for their unique sound and upbeat performances. The band members have varied tastes in music, but one thing they have in common is that they are inspired by anyone doing something new and fresh in music. InďŹ nitus strives to make classical music hip and relevant. With programs that feature polished classical works and original jazz, Latin and hiphop arrangements and compositions, audiences can expect a fun and interactive concert experience. When deciding on the name of the group, Anthony sat down with a Latin dictionary. After a three-hour search, he settled on the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;InďŹ nitusâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Latin root for the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;InďŹ nity.â&#x20AC;? This name now

HANEY ROTARY INVITES YOU TO:

ROTARY

Deadline extended for Ensemble show Maple Ridge gallery still looking for submissions The Maple Ridge Art Gallery invites artists and artisans from throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley to contribute work to Ensemble, its annual Christmas exhibition and sale. The intent of this juried show is to enable artists to exhibit a small group or series of works that are enhanced by being displayed together. Accepted works must be of the same medium and (approximate) dimensions, and share a common theme or style. Pre-

sentation must be consistent for each group of works. The presentation of each artist’s or artisan’s work is also intended to allow for a coherent statement from each artist, rather than a collection of miscellaneous works with no visible connection to one another. This can be a useful exercise for emerging artists or artisans who are hoping to one day assemble sufficient work for a solo or duo show. It is also hoped that the requirements above will generate a body of work for the gallery that lends strong visual impact, variety and overall coherence to the exhibition.

MEN’S NIGHT

General requirements: Mediums: Works are accepted in all mediums other than electronic. Number of works: Minimum required is three. Maximum is 7. Size: 2D work - no longer than 14” on the longest side or plane (unframed). 3D work – no longer than 12” on the longest plane. The deadline for submissions has been extended to Sunday, Oct. 30. Application packages are available at The ACT and the Maple Ridge Art Gallery or online www.theactmapleridge.org/ Ensemble-2011.

Its annual fall show is the only event where the public gets to see his work up close.

This is a competition open to artists from around the world,

The willingness of local cities to host a controversial new wasteto-energy incinerator to burn much of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s garbage is emerging as a civic election issue in parts of Metro Vancouver. Some challengers for Surrey council oppose a new waste incinerator coming to Surrey after the incumbent council almost sold city land for that purpose earlier this year in a now-lapsed option to Aquilini Renewable Energy. Aquilini president John Negrin said his ďŹ rm is still interested in the Campbell Heights industrial property in southeast Surrey, near the Langley border, as a potential site for a trashfueled power plant. The ďŹ rm also lists Tsawwassen First Nation land as a potential site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are others around the Lower Mainland weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking a look at,â&#x20AC;?

it could take up to two years for charges to be laid against all the suspects facing prosecution. The VPD predicts 500 to 700 people will ultimately be charged in connection with the June 15 Game 7 riot. “We will be announcing many, many more charges,” Insp. Les Yeo said. Police are requesting public help in identifying dozens of photos of riot suspects at www. riot2011.vpd.ca. Sixty investigators are working on the case, sifting through 5,000 hours of video footage, along with many photos and tips. So far 79 suspects have turned themselves in. Twenty of them are from Surrey, 17 are from Vancouver, eight are from Burnaby, six are from Maple Ridge and four are from North Vancouver.

Appliances get recycling depots Small electrical appliances from toasters to electric toothbrushes can now be returned for recycling to depots across the region. And the service means buyers of new electrical goods are now paying an extra eco-fee to subsidize the costs of collection, transportation and recycling. A large microwave oven will now cost $10 more, while an extra $2.25 recycling fee is now added to the price of new toasters and blenders. See unpluggedrecycling.ca for a full list of fees, accepted products and depot locations or call 1-800-667-4321. Organizers of the Unplugged program predict it will divert two million small appliances from landfills. It’s the latest in a growing set of takeback programs in B.C. where manufacturers and retailers are required by the province to set up depots to collect and recycle old items, while consumers pay recycling fees to cover the costs. A dozen similar product stewardship programs cover items like electronics, tires and batteries. Another program to take back dead smoke alarms has also launched, funded by a $1.20 recycling fee on new alarms. See alarmrecycle.ca for details.

6 locals picked for elite lax program by R o b e r t M a n g e l s d o r f staff reporter The Burnaby Mountain Selects elite field lacrosse development program will have plenty of local representation this season, as six local players were named to the program’s various touring squads.

The program is fielding eight travel teams this fall, ranging in age from U-11 to high school seniors. In total, more than 150 student-athletes from across B.C. and Washington State will represent the Selects at top tournaments in California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada and North Carolina, as well as exhibition series in Oregon and Washington. Each team with attend multiple events, while also receiving organized tours of NCAA college campuses and enjoying additional city sites and attractions. Foley will be part of the boys’ U-11 team, while Knutilla will be playing for the boys’ senior squad. Gresham and Glemnitz will both be playing midfield for the junior squad, while McDole will be playing midfield for the sophomore team. Le Van will be playing on the attack for the U-13s. The Selects were established in 2006 using the same template as a university lacrosse program, designed to prepare players for a collegiate field lacrosse career. All seven boys’ elite teams are coached by Simon Fraser University men’s field lacrosse team coach Brent Hoskins, along with a host of other N CA A - e x p e r i e n c e d coaches. sports@mapleridgenews.com

yet this season. Sean Pesut earned ﬁrst-star honours Thursday in Mission thanks to a pair of goals late in the ﬁrst period to put the Flames up 2-0. Alexander Smith added a tally of his own before the period was through, giving the Flames a three-goal lead headed into the second. The Icebreakers may have been down, but they were far from out, as a pair of power play goals in the second period put them within one. Former Flame Felix Fielder scored his sec-

ond goal of the night less than seven minutes into the third period to tie the game before Paul Piluso scored on the power play to give the Flames the go-ahead goal. Flames goalie Jordan Eggert was perfect the rest of the way, ensuring the ﬁrst win of the season for Ridge Meadows. Despite outshooting the Icebreakers 21-15 in the ﬁrst period, it was Mission who ended up having the edge in shots

on goal with 39 to the Flames’ 35. Pesut ﬁnished the night with three points, while Bradley Wardner notched a pair of assists. Kyle Jangula, Trevor Harris and Marco Ballarin each registered assists. The Flames’ celebration at their ﬁrst win was short-lived, however, as the team found itself on the wrong end of a 9-2 score 24 hours later. See Flames, p34

Junior bantam Knights stay undefeated with win over Giants staff reporter The Meadow Ridge Knights junior bantam football team extended its undefeated streak to eight games, defeating the Chilliwack Red Giants 19-0 on the road Saturday night. It was the fourth shutout in a row for the Knights, who have not allowed a point against in over a month. The Knights defence once again put in a physical and disciplined effort, with key stops by Justin Fe-

dorak and Thomas Janke, holding Chilliwack to just three first downs. On the other side of the ball, a 50yard touchdown pass to Brandon Shanley opened the scoring for the Knights. A screen pass from Jake Laberge to Chico David made it 160. David also kicked a 25-yard field goal with less than 20 seconds left in the first half, making it 19-0. Both teams played very tight in the second half as neither team scored. The Knights are headed back to Townsend Park in Chilliwack this

weekend as they face the secondplace Chilliwack Blue Giants. The junior bantam squad was joined by the atom Gold Knights and the peewee Gold Knights with shutout wins last weekend. The peewee Gold Knights beat Mission 38-0 thanks to an offensive explosion that saw them score all 38 points in the ﬁrst quarter of the game. Micah Cavalli, Dryden Pollon and Cade Cote each scored touchdowns. The offensive line controlled the line of scrimmage, with Mason Reeves, Cody

Stewart and Sean Roy opening holes for the running backs. The Knights defence kept the Mission running attack at bay and led the Knights to their seventh win in a row. Mike Rice and Jackson Smith shut down the inside running lanes while Jaydeep Sachar and Blake Alford stopped Mission’s outside running. The peewee Gold Knights play next Saturday at Townsend Park against the Chilliwack Blue Giants alongside the junior bantam squads. See Knights, p34

Atom Gold Knights blank Mission, improve to 7-1 Knights from p33 The atom Gold Knights defeated Mission 14-0 as the Knights defence shut out the highest scoring team in the league, averaging 36 points going into the game. Linemen Evan Love, Tyson Caughy and Brandon Goodbridge controlled the line of scrimmage, allowing Liam Mountford, Isaiah Cavalli and Tyson Phare to make great tackles. The offence had 216 rushing yards on the day. Led by quarterback Adam Jones and offensive linemen Mackenzie Gordon and James Harder, running backs Eric Clark and James Ross pounded out the yards. Running back Kurtis Brown closed the game out with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, giving the Gold Knights ﬁrst place in the league with a 7-1 record. The Knights’ only loss of the sea-

son was a forfeit in which they did not have enough players. The atom Blue Knights kept their winning streak alive as they beat Abbotsford 26-8. The Knights scored on their opening drive as Riley Celino broke a 30-yard run to put the Knights up by seven. Abbotsford’s ﬁrst drive ended with Tristan Hawke forcing a fumble that Cody Hogarth returned 80 yards for a touchdown to put the Knights up by 14. Offensive linemen Carlos Redekopp, Mitchell Alcinay, William Ferguson and Tyson Smith kept the Knights offense rolling for two more touchdowns. Jaxon Smart and Lucas Deane played well on the defensive line, allowing Riley Rooney and Dallas Pattenden to make a number of backﬁeld tackles. The midget Knights im-

proved to 4-4 this season with a 36-12 win over Richmond. The offensive line of Wyatt Durocher, Travis McCrea, Tyler Cameron and Brock Loewen blocked well, allowing Joe Schuster, Dylan Macdermid and Tanner Hartley to score touchdowns. Defensively, Nick Stoyeff, Jaimal Gill, Josh Rodgers, Kieran McWilliam and Doug McNally kept the Richmond offence bottled up for most of the game. The midget Knights are on the road this weekend as they take on White Rock Sunday afternoon. In bantam action, Hayden

South ran for a 45-yard touchdown and also returned a fumble 73 yards for another score but it wasnt enough as the Knights fell 17-14 to North Langley. Mark Curran had his best game of the season before leaving with an injury while Dallas Samson and David Brass led the defence. The peewee Blue Knights lost 44-0 to Abbotsford. Sebastian Berg, Liam Cumarasamy and Ryley Durante made some strong tackles on defence. While Jacob Petersen, Anthony Cameron and Mahlon Taylor made some good blocks on offense, but it wasn’t enough to stop the top-ranked Abbotsford team.
