Tax my car, but not
my income. p6
Corisa Bell spent a good part of her
free time last Wednesday strategically
placing anti HST signs along roadsides
and boulevards.
Then she spent Friday trying to fig-
ure out where they had all gone.
Most of the 100 signs, about 30 cen-
timetres square, that she put up in
Pitt Meadows, have disappeared with
about a third of
those ending up
with the citys by-
laws department.
City crews grabbed
38 of them, then e-
mailed Bell, telling
her she could come
and pick them up.
Under the citys
sign bylaw, Sec. 5.3,
election or political
signs cant be lo-
cated along boule-
vards, medians, roadsides, on bridges
or in parks.
Bell led the campaign earlier this
year to recall Liberal MLA Marc Dal-
ton because of his support of the HST.
Organizers then abandoned the re-
call after the mail-in HST referendum
was announced for June and July.
Director of legislative services Lau-
rie Darcus said one individual com-
plained Wednesday, requiring munici-
pal staff to enforce the bylaw.
Bell had wondered about putting up
the signs, but thought theyd be OK.
I was shocked to hear it was actu-
ally our city doing this.
Clearly, somebody on the No side or
probably a Liberal, had something to
do with this complaint.
City bylaw prevents political
signs on boulevards, roadsides

Nearing an end
Maple Ridge secondary Grade 12 students Blake Rayment, Sung Min Won, Tanner Guraliuk, Steph Sturdy and Shannon Findlay pore over the school yearbook,
which was handed out Monday. All other grades will get their yearbooks on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Doctor has
to pay for
patients pot
A doctor has been ordered to
pay the president of a Maple Ridge
marijuana dispensary more than
$300,000 following a botched back
surgery.
Michael Joinson, who heads the
non-prot Always Growing Green
Society, which operates Taggs Med-
ical Cannabis Dispensary, won a to-
tal settlement of $310,289.14 to cover
his loss of earnings and medical care
as well as medications to treat pain,
including cannabis capsules, dried
marijuana and cannabis blended
into baked goods such as cookies.
Dr. Navraj Heran, a neurosurgeon,
admitted he was negligent while
performing a surgery on Joinsons
lower back, but denied the surgery
was solely responsible for the grad-
ual onset of his chronic pain.

23213 Lougheed Hwy,
Maple Ridge
www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS -- Wednesday, June 15, 2011 -- 3
Dozens of letter carriers stood
with placards and signs outside
the Maple Ridge Delivery Centre
on Lougheed Highway Tuesday
morning to protest Canada Posts
decision to cut mail service to
three days a week.
The 48,000 members of the Ca-
nadian Union of Postal Workers,
which include local letter carriers
and retail employees, have been
without a contract since May 30
after the union rejected an offer
from Canada Post. That contract
offer would have seen the creation
of a two-tier wage scale, reducing
starting wages to $17 from close to
$23 an hour.
As of this week, Canada Post
has reduced mail delivery to Mon-
days, Wednesdays, and Fridays in
urban areas, and reduced stafng
levels at mail processing plants
across the country. Priority items
will still be delivered ve days a
week.
Most of Maple Ridge will be af-
fected by the service reductions.
Pitt Meadows, Whonnock, Ruskin,
Rock Ridge, Silver Valley and
other neighbourhoods serviced
by rural and suburban carriers
will not be affected, however, as
those carriers belong to a differ-
ent union.
Canada Post claims the service
reductions are to meant to help
the Crown corporation recoup
mounting nancial losses after ro-
tating strikes by Canadian Union
of Postal Workers began two
weeks ago. Since rotating strikes
began, roughly 30 per cent of the
country has experienced service
disruption.
The uncertainty of where postal
workers will strike from day-to-
day has made it difcult to plan
logistics and transportation, as
well as stafng levels, according
to Canada Post.
Joe Whitney, picketing in Maple
Ridge on Tuesday, works in Port
Coquitlam and said hes been told
if he cant deliver the mail in eight
hours to hold it until the next day.
Were here wanting to work,
said Dee Buchanan, another post-
al worker. Theyre not letting
us.
Should rotating strikes contin-
ue, Canada Post wont be able to
sustain its operations across the
country, Canada Post stated in
press release Tuesday.
Canada Post is disappointed
with the unions refusal to accept
the companys fair and reasonable
offer one that provides job secu-
rity, a dened benets pension
plan and annual wage increases.
Therefore, the company is urging
the union to accept its offer and
not cause further inconvenience
to Canadians.
However, CUPW president Denis
Lemelin claims Canada Post is
hoping the government will force
a contract on postal workers.
Canada Post is doing every-
thing it can to provoke the union
into a national walkout in the hope
the government will intervene,
Lemelin said in a press release
Monday. They are not interested
in negotiating with us to end this
strike. They want to force postal
workers to take concessions.
So far, local post ofces have not
been targeted for strike action.
The Whonnock post ofce in
east Maple Ridge is one that wont
be effected by strike action.
It should be business as usual,
says Sue Schulze, who manages
the Whonnock post ofce. It
might take a little bit longer for
your mail to get where its going,
but its really not effecting anyone
that much.
CUPW Local 704 president Cindy
McDonnell, who represents local
postal workers, said the two-tier
wage scale Canada Post has pro-
posed is troubling, and that work-
ers are most concerned about the
health and safety impacts of the
contract.
In an effort to modernize the
delivery of mail, Canada Post
has included provisions that will
result in letter carriers having to
carry more at once, leaving them
overburdened as they walk their
routes.
They already tried this in Win-
nipeg, and injuries went through
the roof, said McDonnell. Letter
carriers already account for 76
per cent of the injuries [suffered
by] Canada Post employees.
Canada Post has also stopped
paying out extended medical ben-
ets to employees since the previ-
ous contract expired two weeks
ago.
This is having a serious impact
on the health of postal workers,
she said.
Canada Post says it must ad-
dress labour costs as a result of
a 17 per cent drop in letter-mail
business since 2006 due to a rise
in online bill payments and other
electronic communications.
However, McDonnell contends
that mail volumes have stayed
steady in B.C.
Certainly the make-up of the
mail has changed; there are not as
many letters, she said. But there
is also been an increase of online
ordering, and more ad mail.
The last postal strike was in
1997, when posties walked out for
two weeks before being legislated
back to work.

THE NEWS
Maple Ridge
not taking
down HST
signs
Rural, suburban routes will
not be afected, however
HST from front
She pointed out the signs, which
read Vote YES: Extinguish the
HST, were funded by the $225,000
that FightHST got from the pro-
vincial government.
Its the public who paid for those
signs. Its just a huge issue in B.C.
right now. Its one way of commu-
nicating our side of the debate and
theyre preventing us from doing
that. Its awful. Its against our
civil rights.
Bell also spent ve hours putting
up signs in Maple Ridge, along
Lougheed Highway and Dewdney
Trunk Road and other streets
then saw they too, about 200, were
gone when she took her daughter
to work.
Yesterday they were there. To-
day theyre not. Its just so upset-
ting.
But District of Maple Ridge
spokesman Fred Armstrong said
staff havent removed any signs.
None of our people have taken
any of them. We do consider them
sort of an election sign.
Armstrong said political and
election signs are exempt under
the districts sign bylaw and these
fall into that category. The only
time staff will touch a sign is if
there are safety concerns.
The signs urge people to vote
yes in the mail-in ballot in June
and July to dump the HST and
return to ve per cent Goods and
Services Tax and a seven-per-cent
provincial sales tax.
Bell said in the run-up to the May
2 federal election, she saw cam-
paign signs in Pitt Meadows but
Darcus pointed out the city would
have had to have a complaint to
remove them. Many election signs
are located on private property,
she added.
Bell added Monday that after
Surrey reversed its policy and
Chilliwack allowed the HST signs,
Pitt Meadows is the only area that
is refusing to take any signs.
Bell said she was proud to live in
Maple Ridge.
Weve left messages with coun-
cillors of Pitt Meadows, so I hope
to have some return phone calls.
Premier Christy Clarks ofce
announced Friday that the federal
government has amended its regu-
lations, allowing B.C. to reduce the
HST to 10 per cent by July 2014.
HST ballot packages must be
received by Elections BC, a Ser-
vice BC centre, or an Elections BC
collection centre before 4:30 p.m.,
July 22,
Elections B.C.
Elections B.C. has posted a list of loca-
tions on its website (www.elections.
bc.ca) of where voters can drop of HST
referendum ballots if theyre concerned
about mail deliveries. The ballots are
supposed to be mailed out to house-
holds starting June 13 in most of rural
B.C. and starting June 20 in the Lower
Mainland. They must be received by
Elections B.C. by July 22.

The family of a Maple Ridge man brain-damaged
following an assault outside a Maple Ridge bar is
struggling to make ends meet while he recovers in
hospital.
Cordell Dame ran his own
business Clean-Pro Janito-
rial the familys only source
of income.
Dame, 50, has remained at
Royal Columbian Hospital in
New Westminster since police
found him lying unconscious
across the street from Shoot-
ers Bar on Dewdney Trunk
Road around 2 a.m. on May 1.
Trevor Harding, a resident of
Tipperary, Ireland, faces one
count of aggravated assault in
connection with the beating.
The 34-year-old has been released from custody
on $2,000 bail, but his passport has been seized.
The Dame family lost one of two cars in a recent
accident and will be unable to renew the insurance
on their second vehicle which expires at the end of
the month because the truck is insured in Dames
name.
His 22-year-old daughter is now trying to keep
her fathers business aoat as mortgage payments
come overdue and bills pile up.
They need all the help they can get, said
Dames younger sister Angie Wester.
Dame opened his eyes this week and has spoken
a few words to family, but doctors are unable to say
when he will be able to leave hospital or whether
he will make a complete recovery.
Maple Ridge Chrysler has donated a car to the
family for six months so they can continue to make
daily trips to the hospital.

Two Maple Ridge men face rearms charges after
a drunken shootout in Mission.
Ridge Meadows RCMP were called around 11:30
p.m. Saturday after shots were red by the occupants
of a pickup truck, which had just left Stave Falls.
Ofcers found the pickup truck as it drove up to
the intersection of 248th Street and Dewdney Trunk

Police arrested the 22-year-old driver and found
two guns that were inside the vehicle.
A 20-year-old man was arrested shortly after.
We do know that alcohol played a part in this

VICTORIA I re-
cently bought a used
vehicle. Bitter experi-
ence with used cars
sold privately led me
to make the purchase
at an established,
reputable dealership,
and Im pleased with
the result.
The rst car I ever
bought was a private
sale. A young man
showed off the old
car he had painted
himself, while his
mother smiled and offered homemade
lemonade. Sold for $600.
The choice of drink proved appropri-
ate when the engine clattered to a nal
halt a week later. It was then I dis-
covered that the crankcase contained
mostly STP Oil Treatment, to conceal
the engines true state.
At the dealership this spring, the har-
monized sales tax was not a hot topic.
Like most goods, new and used vehicles
were subject to 12 per cent PST and
GST before, and they are subject to 12
per cent HST now.
When I mentioned this in a news
report last week, an astute reader in
Nanaimo reminded me that its not
quite that simple. Vehicles, boats and
aircraft sold by private individuals are
exempt from GST. This was one of the
populist concessions the Mulroney
government made in an effort to placate
angry voters 20 years ago. In B.C., prior
to July 2010, private sales were subject
to seven-per-cent PST only.
During the hubbub over the imple-
mentation of the HST in its 2010 budget,
the B.C. Liberal government also
increased tax on private vehicle sales
by ve per cent, from seven to 12 per
cent. The stated reason was to provide
comparable treatment for private and
commercial sales of used vehicles.
This provoked an exchange of partisan
accusations that typically passes for de-
bate in the B.C. legislature. Its a payoff
to car dealers, the NDP screamed. You
guys opposed all of our income tax cuts
and now youre pretending to support
lower taxes, the B.C. Liberals yelled
back.
Out in the real world, one can observe
the effect of a tax structure that gives
an advantage to private sellers.
Municipal governments call them
curbers. They use their garage, drive-
way and street to repair and market an
endless series of used cars. Whether
they are crooks or not, their efforts are
every bit as appealing to the neighbour-
hood as the guy with multiple illegal
suites whose tenants plug up the park-
ing for the whole block.
In each case, they violate zoning rules
and hog services for personal benet.
And if you think they pay income or
other taxes on their home businesses,
I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to
test-drive.
The subject of used cars came up last
week when NDP leader Adrian Dix be-
latedly launched his own anti-HST tour.
Apparently hes having second thoughts
about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP
tax policy based on a world government
conspiracy theory.
Dixs rst media event was staged in a
Burnaby kitchen. The homeowner dis-
missed the $350 HST rebate he has been
offered to offset costs such as summer
camp for his two kids, saying that will
be gone several times over if he buys a
used car.
This clearly implies that HST has been
extended to used cars. This is the sort
of claim that drives much of the rage
against it, as people simply scan their
bills for those hated three letters.
There are signs that people under-
stand their taxes better, however. An
Angus Reid poll last week found that
58 per cent of British Columbians now
prefer to pay taxes on their consump-
tion rather than their income.

The City of Pitt Meadows is taking down anti-HST
signs on public property.
Organizers of the campaign to recall Liberal MLA
Marc Dalton over the HST placed 100 signs around
the city last week, only to see them disappear. Mu-
nicipal crews took credit for uprooting 38 of them,
following a complaint to enforce a bylaw that pre-
vents election or political signs from being placed
along boulevards, medians, roadsides, on bridges or
in parks.
The signs, which read Vote YES: Extinguish the
HST, were funded by $225,000 given to FightHST
by the provincial government, to provide balance
leading up to the referendum, this month and next,
on whether or not to repeal the blended tax.
The signs were also placed in Maple Ridge, where
they are exempt from a sign bylaw because they are
for political purposes.
Corisa Bell, who led the campaign earlier this year
to recall Dalton because of his support of the HST,
put up the signs. She suspects the complaint to re-
move them came from someone who also supports
the HST, a Liberal.
There is no shortage of Liberal support on Pitt
Meadows council.
Pitt Meadows Couns. Doug Bing, Gwen OConnell,
Deb Walters and Tracy Miyashita wrote mes-
sages on Facebook in support of Dalton, MLA for
Maple Ridge-Mission, during the recall campaign.
OConnell even worked on his campaign to defeat
the recall initiative. Mayor Don MacLean wrote a
letter during the recall campaign, praising Dalton.
Coun. John Becker, along with his wife, Terry,
helped with the campaign to elect Christy Clark as
the B.C. Liberal Party leader.
Pitt Meadows is the only municipality known to be
removing anti-HST signs.
The city had indicated earlier this year that it
might review its sign bylaw after the November mu-
nicipal election.
MacLean, who will not seek re-election, in particu-
lar detests signs, claiming they are a form of pollu-
tion. Yet he has used some during past elections.
Regardless of what he thinks, political signs are
part of the democratic process; they create aware-
ness, encourage involvement and, above all, are
temporary.
They are not removed from public property dur-
ing federal and provincial elections. Doing so now
just seems self-serving.

Re: New condominium com-
plex riles residents of Copper-
stone Ridge (The News, June
10).
My father and I currently
own the two-acre property at
12297 222nd Street, which is
adjacent to the site under de-
velopment consideration.
We purchased the property
in 2009, pleased to have such
a lovely private space while
still being in an urban envi-
ronment.
In the article, John Kelly
refers to his concerns about
the variances requested by
the developer and there are
responses via the District
of Maple Ridge (I presume),
which state that residents
were sent letters and had
their chance to speak.
Firstly, the development ap-
plication posted on the prop-
erty is from 2008 and shows a
meeting for June of that year.
It has been on the property
since then and when I called
municipal hall about it, I was
informed that the application
was not going forward.
The sign has never been re-
moved or changed.
Secondly, the letter that
was sent out was dated May
19, 2011, which was a Thurs-
day. I would be surprised if it
made it into the post on that
day as most mail is sent out at
the end of the day. Ergo, mail
would have left on Friday. It
was a long weekend so there
was no delivery on Monday.
That means that the sorting
process may or may not have
been done until the Tuesday.
That leaves four days and
then another weekend before
the council meeting on Mon-
day.
The chances of everyone
getting their chance to speak
were negligible.
I did not receive the letter
until two days after the meet-
ing.
After having this project
tabled for so long, to have it
rushed through in this man-
ner is ridiculous.
I understand the districts
position on densication, but
not at the expense of cur-
rent residents by having this
kind of apartment building
in an area that is clearly not
ready for it. All the surround-
ing homes are single family
dwellings on septic.
Copperstone Ridge, on the
north side of the proposed site,
has been done in a tasteful
manner that has maintained
the integrity of the space and
has been a welcome addition
to the area.
Something similar would
have been much more suit-
able that the buildings that
are proposed.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:
Re: Ex-premier at HST
session in Maple Ridge (The
News, June 10).
Congratulations and thank
you, Corisa Bell and your fel-
low activists.
You have accomplished
what many people have been
looking for, namely a good
look by the government at the
HST and changes in the mak-
ing that will be of benet to
most people, especially lower
income families and seniors.
This includes a two-staged
reduction in the tax rate from
12 to 10 per cent and rebates
of $175 per person at the end
of this year for many in the
aforementioned categories.
Admittedly, not everyone
will benet as much because
of too high an income, but
that is also what most people
are asking for.
So, all is well and a good
reason to vote no to the up-
coming referendum.
However, there could be
a y in the ointment, so to
speak, and that is if we still let
our original anger inuence
our rational decision making.
We must let bygones be by-
gones, step over it and make
an informed decision.
Over the ages, a multitude
of prominent people have
spoken out about the devas-
tating consequences of hold-
ing a grudge or acting out of
anger.
Here are a few of them:
Anger blows out the lamp
of the mind, Robert G. Inger-
soll.
Holding on to anger is like
grasping a hot coal with the
intent of throwing it at some-
one else: you are the one who
gets burned, attributed to
Buddha.
And a Korean proverb: If
you kick a stone in anger,
youll hurt your own foot.
To see a long list of such ad-
vice, just Google anger or
consequences of anger. It is
very sobering.
For sure, vote for or against
extinguishing the HST, if you
are convinced of the right
choice, but may it be an in-
formed decision.
As for half-truths and mis-
information, that comes from
all sides.
Adrian Dix says that the
public should vote for a re-
turn to the seven percent pro-
vincial sales tax and that we
should return to the PST, but
neglects to add to the PST
and GST.
And when the latest poll
suggests the support against
the HST is now at 56 per cent,
down from the previous 80
per cent, Dix says that this
is not surprising, given the
$5 million the government
is spending promoting the
HST.
Here he deliberately ig-
nores the fact that it is very
well possible that the voting
public is nally becoming
far better informed by doing
their homework.

Re: Move to home care rankles seniors advocates (The
News, June 8)
Thanks so much for publishing Robert Mangelsdorfs
piece about home care.
In the article, Mr. Mangelsdorf shines a light on reali-
ties many of us prefer not to think about. We ignore the
plight of these seniors at our own risk, however, since
none of us are immune to the difculties they face.
We know of a number of chronic health conditions
which result in the sufferer being unable to function well
in their own homes.
Conditions such as dementia slowly rob a person of the
ability to look after a home and keep up their personal
hygiene. Sadly, many of these conditions are incurable
and progressive. People living alone without a supportive
network of friends or family close at hand can sometimes
be found in appalling conditions, as noted by the building
manager of Maple Ridge Towers, Peter Church.
While keeping people in their homes as long as possible
is a laudable goal, those who develop health conditions
which impair their judgement will need a lot of support if
they are to stay in their homes safely.
Clearly, this support is not always there when it is need-
ed.
In a prosperous province such as ours, we need to make
sure that our health care system is there for everybody if
and when they need it.
Putting appropriate supports in place for those of us
with the misfortune of having a condition such as demen-
tia should be a no-brainer.

Who cares if a stores name appears twice? The type of signs this article
talks about do not interfere with access to the sidewalk, its not something
you may trip over or find thrown into the street late at night. ( On more

be set back at least 1.6
metres (ve feet) from
a homes property
line.
How about allowing
only smaller RVs, un-
der eight metres (26
ft.) in front yards while
anything larger has to
go along the side of the
house or back with
requirements to keep
1.6 m (ve feet) away
from any property
line?
Those are some pos-
sible solutions to Ma-
ple Ridges RV ruckus
as council reviews its
regulations on recre-
ational vehicles.
Like or hate the
ideas?
You can voice your
views at an open house
June 29 at municipal
hall.
In the meantime,
people wont have to
worry about having
machines longer than
7.5 m on their proper-
ties. A stall on enforc-
ing the old bylaw will
remain in place until
new rules are written,
council afrmed Mon-
day.
The limit on RV
lengths, date back
to 1985, when Maple
Ridge wrote its bylaw
on RVs, setting the lim-
it for residential prop-
erties at 7.5 m (24.6 ft)
in length. Since then,
the average length of
an RV has grown to 14
m.
The District of Maple
Ridge is reviewing
its zoning bylaw that
deals with storage of
RVs after many resi-
dents complained of
getting letters from
the bylaws department
and removal orders
after years of keeping
them on their premises
without complaint.
Coun. Linda King
said any changes have
to be clear to make it
as easy as possible for
bylaws ofcers to en-
force.
We really want to
minimize the discre-
tionary component
that they [bylaw of-
cers] may be called
upon to exercise.
Following the open
house, council will con-
sider the comments,
then draft changes to
the bylaw, which re-
quires a public hear-
ing.
Staff looked at RV
regulations in Chilli-
wack, Abbotsford,
Langley, Coquitlam
and Port Coquitlam,
North Vancouver, Mis-
sion, Burnaby and Pitt
Meadows and others.
Each community has
rules on where RVs
can be parked on lots
and what kind of set-
backs from property
lines are required and
the number of RVs al-
lowed on each lot.
RVs often are parked
for long periods and
are larger than small
sheds, which would re-
quire building permits,
bylaws director Liz
Holitzky told council
in a report.
The size of each resi-
dential lot could also
play a role in what and
where RVs are stored.
Staff research found
that four cities had no
restriction in RV size
while North Vancou-
ver city allowed RVs
of up to 12 metres long
(40 ft.) in enclosures,
in back yards only.
Coun. Al Hogarth
pointed out some ar-
eas hes seen have RVs
parked in metal cages.
Its not very pretty.
Holitzky also pointed
out other areas, such
as people renting out
their driveways for RV
parking and ensuring
sightlines arent ob-
scured, and recogni-
tion of lot size, need
consideration in any
new bylaw.
Pitt Meadows is do-
ing its own review of
the issue.
Coun. Craig Speirs
said trailers people use
for work should also
be included and asked
if people are allowed to
live in RVs full-time.
Not under Maple
Ridge bylaws, Holitzky
replied.
On the street, RVs
only can be parked in
one spot for 48 hours.
Coun. Cheryl Ashlie
wanted to ensure e-
mails and letters will
be given equal stature
to comments made at
the open house.

Keep a close eye on
Kanaka Creek and the
Alouette rivers be-
cause its runoff time
in Maple Ridge and
Pitt Meadows, and the
water is running high
and fast.
Local rivers and
streams are near peak
levels, says the District
of Maple Ridge, and
its advising parents to
ensure their kids are
wearing life jackets if
theyre near the South
or North Alouette or
Kanaka Creek.
District spokesperson
Ceri Marlo said par-
ents should check out
the river themselves
before allowing their
kids near the water.
Meanwhile, the
Fraser River hit 5.7
metres on the Mission
gauge Thursday, trig-
gering the start of Ma-
ple Ridges ood man-
agement plan. That
calls for daily patrols
of the entire diking
system, once the riv-
ers level hits 5.5 me-
tres. Regular checks
of other areas started
when the level reached
ve metres.
Pitt Meadows crews
are also constantly
checking the 64 kilo-
metres of dikes sur-
rounding that city.
In Maple Ridge, staff
are focusing on the
Wharf Street area in
Hammond, on the river
side of the dike.
If the Mission gauge
hits six metres, the
district could issue an
evacuation alert for the
Wharf Street area.
If the Mission gauge
hits 6.3 metres, an
evacuation order could
be considered.
These are all guides.
There are other factors
that could be involved
in these decisions,
Marlo said.
If the Mission gauge
hit 6.9 metres, an evac-
uation alert would be
considered for the area
around Interfors Ham-
mond cedar mill.
We have a plan. We
are following the plan
at this time with the
freshet.
Commercial and in-
dustrial property own-
ers along the Fraser
River already have tak-
en measures to ensure
that equipment and
other infrastructure
are protected against
the possible high wa-
ter levels and fast river
ow.
According to a Friday
release, anyone work-
ing or playing near
local rivers should be
wearing life jackets.
A person falling into
the river can be swept
along very rapidly, and
the combination of high
water levels and rapid
water ow generate
more debris, which can
be a challenge for even
strong swimmers.
According to the
River Forecast Centre,
the Fraser will be un-
der six metres at the
Mission gauge over the
weekend.
The Mission gauge is
located on the railway
bridge between Mis-
sion and Abbotsford
and has been recording
river levels for more
than a century.
Maple Ridge warns about runof, water is running high
Local rivers and
streams near peaks
Historic Haney,
between the Fraser
River and Lougheed
Highway, will keep
changing and improv-
ing, nudged along with
a bit of money from
the municipality.
On Monday, council
approved spending
$15,000 to keep the Port
Haney Neighbourhood
Change Project going
for another year.
The project started
last year to create a
vision for the area and
develop a plan for im-
provement, fix prob-
lems and start specific
projects.
In its first 10 months,
the Port Haney change
initiative has drawn
about 40 people to its
events and has month-
ly meetings, an e-mail
list, a chairperson and
spokespeople.
With a framework
in place, it has identi-
fied safety concerns
and addressed them,
such as fixing missing
street lights, demol-
ishing unsafe build-
ings, and general
cleanup while a sub-
committee will look at
illegal parking, people
running stop signs,
speeding and jaywalk-
ing across the Haney
Bypass.
During Christmas,
about 15 residents
went carolling and
had hot chocolate af-
terwards at the One
Way Club while a
cleanup day April 30
hauled out garbage
from a municipal lot
on 223rd Street.
Plans are in the
works for a Port
Haney Day celebra-
tion in September.
Coun. Mike Morden
wanted to see the con-
cept expanded to oth-
er communities that
could use the same
amount of attention.
To me, theres no
downside to this.
The project wants to
continue its work next
year so it can expand
its membership and
figure out a way of for-
malizing its existence.
It also wants to take
part in the districts
affordable housing
strategy.
Coun. Craig Speirs
says hes noticed the
difference since the
Port Haney project
has been active.
Theres been some
major changes, pal-
pable changes, you
can tell. This is what
it was all about.
But that improve-
ment could be hap-
pening at the expense
of other areas, such
as 240th Street or far-
ther east, added Coun.
Judy Dueck.
We are definitely
seeing an increase in
certain behaviours.
The area is develop-
ing a certain amount
momentum, added
Coun. Linda King.
I think we need to
continue this project.
She moved the recom-
mendation to ask staff
to do a budget amend-
ment to find the extra
money.
Last year, the proj-
ect had $25,000 to help
pay for a consultant.
This year, it needs
only $15,000 $8,000
for consultants fees,
Port Haney Day, and
the parking, speeding
and traffic commit-
tee, $6,000 for identi-
fying the features of
the area and $1,000 for
meeting expenses.
Mayor Ernie Daykin
said more talk is
needed in budget dis-
cussions on how to
extend the project to
other areas.

SPOTLIGHT ON: Neighbourhood Building in Cottonwood North
ENGAGED: Canada Day
INFORMED: Spring Runoff Update
INFORMED: Canada Day Hours
INFORMED: 2011 Tax Notice
Staff at the District of Maple Ridge and the Province
of BC have been closely monitoring water levels on the
Fraser River. The current ood risk for Maple Ridge and
other areas of the Lower Fraser River is average at this
time. Citizens have noted that the river level is high,
and that water is fast moving at this time. Based on the
combination of water level readings from throughout
the Fraser River system as far north as Prince George,
combined with rainfall and temperature projections for the
next 5 days, the Fraser River is not projected to rise much
greater than the current range over the next few days.
While the risk of ooding is average, all residents who access
area waterways for commerce or recreation are advised to
remember the importance of wearing life jackets as the ow
rate for all area rivers and streams are at, or near, their peak
levels. A person falling into the river can be swept along very
rapidly, and the combination of high water levels and rapid
water ow generate more debris which can be a challenge
for even strong swimmers. While the focus at this time of
year is along the Fraser River, the Alouette River and Kanaka
Creek, both popular locations for swimming and tubing have
elevated ow rates and the associated risks for citizens.
Parents are reminded to make sure that their children
playing in the river are wearing life vest as a precaution.
The primary measurement used by our community is a
reading from the Mission Gauge which is located on the
Rail Bridge that spans from Abbotsford to Mission. That
structure has been there since the late 1800s, and has
provided a benchmark for water levels for over a century.
The readings from that gauge are available
online at http://www.waterofce.ec.gc.ca/
graph/graph_e.html?stn=08MH024 and allow
for graphing of data going back to 2009.
Further updates will be provided periodically
throughout the late spring and early summer. Look
for the latest information at mapleridge.ca.
Taxes are Due Monday July 4
Due to a labour disruption at Canada Post, the 2011
tax notices were mailed out a bit early this year. If you
have not received your 2011 Property Tax Notice you
should contact us immediately at 604-467-7336.
Accompanying your tax notice is a yellow information
sheet outlining the methods you can use to pay your
taxes and apply for your Home Owner Grant. Take a few
minutes to review this information sheet. A few minutes
of reading could save you a lot of time. In particular, the
information sheet highlights how you can apply for your
home owner grant online and details how to sign up for
the Pre-Authorized Withdrawal System (PAWS) so you can
pre-pay your 2012 taxes in ten monthly installments.
Using the information on the upper left hand corner
of your Property Tax Notice you can apply for your
Home Owner Grant online in about ve minutes. Then
you can pay any outstanding tax balance using the
methods outlined on the yellow information sheet.
Remember, property taxes need to be paid by Monday,
July 4, 2011. For those who prefer to pay their taxes in
person, the Tax section of Municipal Hall will be open
until 8:00 pm on Thursday June 16, Thursday June 23
and Thursday June 30. You can also use the drop box
located in the lobby of Municipal Hall during ofce hours
or the outside drop box located near the Municipal Hall
entrance which faces towards the library entrance.

Honouring Henk
On Sunday, June 9, a very special presentation took
place at a neighbourhood party organized by residents
of the Cottonwood North neighbourhood. Mayor Daykin
presented a Good Neighbour Award posthumously to
Hendrik Frederick Van Staalduinen, known affectionately by
his nickname Henk by everyone in the neighbourhood.
Mayor Daykin talked about how people make
neighbourhoods, not buildings, and Henk was one of those
special people who cared about his neighbours and his
community. His neighbours gathered for a great Fiesta Day
which included a great potluck
meal, lots of activities for the
kids, and then at 6:00 pm
everyone gathered to honour
Henk. As part of the dedication, a
community bulletin board called
Henks Happenings which will
become a permanent xture
in the Tot Lot playground at
Cottonwood North was unveiled. Built by Ian Dingwall with
some help from his neighbours, this bulletin board will serve
to connect neighbours the way Henk did when he was with us.
Clint van Blanken, community volunteer, addresses his neighbours
and speaks to the effect that Henk had on him and all of the
residents of the neighbourhood.
Join the Celebration at
Memorial Peace Park!

Court awards less than requested for medical costs

At least some Pitt Meadows resident still believe the Vancouver Canucks can win the Stanley Cup, declaring so in

Heran targeted the
wrong vertebrae in the

Joinson says he con-

sented to the third.
Besides request-

wages lost because he
is unable to work, Join-
son submitted a claim
of more than $800,000 to
fund a lifetime supply
of medical marijuana.
The court awarded
Joinson far less for his
medical costs, giving
him a total of $50,469
(included in the total
$300,000 settlement) for
medication, including
marijuana.
According to a writ-
ten judgement released
last week, Joinson
said he smoked ap-
proximately 10 grams
of marijuana a day to
treat pain in his back
and knee.
A doctor testied his
use of marijuana had

A property twice
rejected for subdivi-
sion by Pitt Meadows
council failed to pass
another application for
rezoning last week.
The owners of 11631
Bonson Road have led
an application to re-
zone the 1,703-square-
metre lot from subur-
ban residential to one
family dwelling, split-
ting the property in
two via a panhandle.
The application, how-
ever, drew vocal criti-
cism from neighbours,
including several who
spoke out when the
same property was
pitched for rezoning in
2005 and 2006.
My reasons for not
wanting a panhandle
development have not
changed, Karen Geor-
gi told city council at a
public hearing June 7.
This development
doesnt improve our
neighbourhood. Al-
lowing a panhandle on
this property would
set a precedent for
the whole neighbour-
hood.
Marcie Anderson
was speaking against
the rezoning proposal
for the third time.
I question what kind
of neighbours the own-
ers of this property are
that they would revisit
for the third time this
zoning proposal when
opposition was so well
expressed in the past,
she said.
A report by city
staff, however, found
the property met the
requirements of Pitt
Meadows inll pol-
icy, which seeks to
increase density in ur-
ban areas.
Council did not pro-
ceed with a third read-
ing, but instead sent
the rezoning applica-
tion back to staff so
they can take a sec-
ond look at city policy
concerning panhandle
lots.

Get ready for a few traffic delays
in Pitt Meadows this summer as
crews begins to dig up pavements
to lay down new roads and water
lines.
The city will begins its $2.1 capi-
tal works program at the end of
the month and expects work to
continue until the end of Septem-
ber.
Engineering services coordina-
tor Ike De Boer said the biggest
project for this year and the one
thats most likely to cause traffic
headaches is the repaving planned
for Old Dewdney Trunk Road.
The contractors havent decid-
ed whether they are going to do it
at night yet, he added.
But it will go fairly quickly. Its
just the traffic we have to worry
about.
Crews will be stripping the
roads top surface and replace it
with two inches of new asphalt.
Contractors hired to do the work
will try to keep disturbances to a
minimum and residents in the
area will be notified in advance of
planned work.
De Boer reminds motorists to
slow down and follow the instruc-
tion of traffic controllers.
Roadwork:
repaving Old Dewdney Trunk;
repaving Ladner Road;
repaving Neaves Road;
repaving and upgrades to Baynes Road;

Jeanette Plein refuses
to take Bailey for a long
stroll anymore.
She will only walk the
six-year-old Basenji-
Terrier-cross out of
her building door and
quickly lead her back
inside.
Im just too scared,
said Plein, whose dog
Bailey was bitten by
another dog while walk-
ing on 121st Avenue in
Maple Ridge on Friday
around 7:30 p.m.
Bailey suffered several
deep puncture wounds
on her abdomen in the
attack and required sur-
gery and stitches.
A brown- and black-
coloured dog pinned the
much-smaller Bailey to
the road and only let go
after being pulled away
by its owner.
Plein said the man of-
fered to pay for Baileys
vet bills, but she hasnt
been able to contact him
since.
If the owner hadnt
jumped on his dog, Im
sure Bailey wouldnt be
here, said Plein, who
has so far spent more
than $500 on vet bills
and medication.
The B.C. SPCA is look-
ing for the owner of
the other dog, which is
believed to be a pit bull-
cross.
Mark Vosper, who
manages the Maple
Ridge branch, said all
dogs must be leashed in

Cut down that ornamental shrub and plant some

Do it in a nice way and you might win a gift certif-
icate from the Haney Farmers Market if you enter
the Front Yard Food Garden Contest.
Maple Ridges agricultural advisory committee
is holding the rst annual event open to gardens
in three sizes.
To enter, go to mapleridge.ca, ll out an entry
form and submit a small photo showing your front
yard in a before photo, then e-mail everything to
dhall@mapleridge.ca by June 30.
Judging will take place in late August and win-
ners will be announced at the Golden Harvest
event that promotes local agriculture, Oct. 14.
We see this as a fairly low-tech way of promot-
ing more food production within city limits, said
Diana Hall, staff liaison on the agricultural com-
mittee.
Its basically to celebrate the beauty of food-pro-
ducing plants, and to have people realize there
are options to lawns that require lots of attention
with not a lot of benets.
Many front-yard gardens can become ornamen-
tal, using good layout and following the French
potager tradition of a kitchen garden that grows
vegetables and herbs for the household.
One thing I would say about a vegetable garden,
its quiet, meditative work, Hall said.
Growing food in the front yards also gives an-
other option for residents who have a north-facing
backyard.
Its wise to have resilience in a community for
food production so its possible to adapt if food
prices increase, she added.

The biggest advantage the ZT 3000 delivers is the quality of
cut. The exclusive mower deck design and performance of the
Simplicity Free Floating mower blend with the maneuverability
of a zero turn riding mower to deliver speed and a beautiful cut.
The full width rear rollers is the secret as well as the mowers
ability to disperse clippings evenly giving a picture-perfect cut.

L
ooking ahead
to June 21, we
think Oh, thats
our longest day of
the year, the summer
solstice.
But why has that been
such an important date
through the ages?
After all, the sun is in
the sky only a little bit
longer than the days
before, although if
you noted carefully
through very dark
glasses you would see
that it actually seems to
stand still briey. Hence
summer solstice: sol for
sun; and stice, a deriva-
tion of the Latin word
sistere to stand still.
The rst ofcial day
of summer has been cel-
ebrated almost forever.
The Druids called it All
Couples Day, when the
wedding of heaven and
earth took place. Ever
wondered why June
has traditionally been
a favoured month for
weddings?
At Stonehenge in early
Britain three to ve
millenia ago, thousands
gathered to welcome
the sunrise and couples
would drink from newly
fermented honey, or
mead. Bet most of you
didnt know thats where
our word honey moon
comes from. Only now,
of course, theyre more
likely to celebrate with
a trip away and mai tais
or margeritas.
Pagan summer solstice
rites included wearing
garlands of owers
and herbs, as protec-
tion against evil spirits
abroad at the time.
Well, brides still carry
owers, though we hope
no evil spirits are in the
wedding crowd.
An interesting side-
bar to this is that one
of the herbs, or owers,
the ancients used was
St. Johns Wort which,
to this day, is used by
some as a non-medical
alternative to combat
depression. So while
the ancients used it to
chase away evil spirits,
we may use it to lift our
own.
As a further aid to
their future well-being,
couples in those times
might jump over bonre
ames: their crops
would grow as high as
they could jump.
Ancient Celts
marked the summer
solstice with a light
festival, and
again, the long
days were to
produce good
harvests later.
For the Chi-
nese, the earth
and feminine,
or yin, forces
were honored
at this time,
as opposed to
the heavens
and masculine
or yang forces
at the winter
solstice.
The ancient Romans
worshipped in particu-
lar the goddess of the
hearth in June.
Other cultures were
more concerned with
the physical characteris-
tics of this solar system
phenomenon. The
Essenes, for instance, a
Jewish sect that thrived
in the rst century CE
(AD), worshipped the
sun particularly on the
solstice day when its
rays shone on a certain
axis.
And many native
Americans built
structures devoted to
showing the suns ray in
a particular spot on the
solstice, or equinox.
Christianity too has
its link with the sum-
mer solstice, with the
celebration of St. John
the Baptists Day on
June 24th. As people
converted to
Christianity
2,000 years ago
and later, they
simply adapted
earlier pagan
festivals to
feast days for
certain saints.
In this case,
early French
colonists of
future Canada
brought with
them St. Jean
Baptiste Day,
now a public holiday
in Quebec. If we were
visiting there we would
see, in addition to the
church celebration of
the saint, rock concerts,
sports events, parades,
reworks and in the
neighborhoods, BBQs,
picnics and all the other
things people do to have
fun together in the sum-
mertime.
So when you look
up at the midsummer
sun in the heavens on
June 21, think of all the
millenia it has shone
down on human beings
celebrating the time
of weddings, bountiful
crops in the ofng and
a good time being had
by all.

Ridge Historical Society.

First-time author inspired by the creator
Ridge dancer
wins provincials
A
imee Payne literally lives to
dance.
The 17-year-old takes nine
classes a week, learning hip-hop, con-
temporary, jazz, ballet and tap, and
even gives up weekends to travel to
Vancouver to learn from other chore-
ographers.
Honestly, every time I get up on
stage, even in classes, it feels like my
hearts on re, says Payne, who just
graduated from Thomas Haney sec-
ondary and trains at Peggy Peat School
of Dance.
It feels so good.
It seems that all the hard work
Paynes putting into dancing is paying
off.
Last week, she swept the senior stage
category at the provincial dance cham-
pionships, beating out 18 other dancers
for the prize.
Payne was selected for the provin-
cials from the Surrey Festival of Dance,
one of the largest in North America.
I just feel like its a nice way to end
my year, Payne says.
This summer, she heads to L.A. with
Triple Threat presents Next Step, a pro-
gram that helps dancers break into the
Los Angeles dance scene.
My dream since Ive been 11 is to
dance in L.A., says Payne.
Before she heads to L.A., shell y to
Las Vegas to compete with other danc-
ers from Peggy Peat and return to B.C.
for the Fusion Dance Camp, which she
attends every summer.
Payne will spend August dancing in
shows at the PNE.
Im in a dream when Im up there,
she says. Its unreal. Every time I take
a class or perform, my passion just
grows strong.
Another Peggy Peat dancer Cassidy
Corrigan was selected to compete in
the provincials from the Pacic West
Festival as junior stage representative
(ages 10-12).

staff repor ter
Darrell Swansons idea for his first book was
born decades ago.
Daunted slightly by the idea of writing a novel,
Swanson began the outline of a story.
I never really put a time frame on complet-
ing it, but it bugged me that I may become just
another wannabe writer and procrastinate unto
the grave, he says.
To me, thats not a modus operandi; I like to
finish what I start.
In a fit of frustration, he contacted a friend who
is a published author.
Over lunch, he learned the ins and outs
of writing a book and was referred to Roxane
Christ, an editor, who helped him flush out what
would become The Bodacious Descendant. The
self-published book was released in March.
The Bodacious Descendant is the first of a se-
ries of adventure, intrigue and romance-filled
novels by Swanson.
It tells the story of Caleb, a direct descendant
of Otzi, the European iceman.

Caleb possesses unparal-
leled powers. He can walk on
water and raise the dead.
The Bodacious Descen-
dant takes readers into to a
prehistoric world lled with
dinosaurs and long-extinct
creatures as it journeys from
one suspenseful plot to the
next confronting terrorism,
CIA covert operations and
kidnapping.
Swansons reasons for
writing the book came from watching society
erode into a complacent, narcissistic, helpless
and desperate state.
Because of the erosion of faith and the pro-
motion of the religion of human secularism,
moral integrity, love for our fellow man, even a
healthy love for ourselves is glaringly missing,
he says.
We are happy to bow at the altar of technol-
ogy, but not to give one iota of thanks to our cre-
ator. This story is about someone who discovers
he has Gods powers and is called upon to use
them. My hope is that you will be inspired to
seek the creator.
Swanson grew up in a farming community
near Wawota, Saskatchewan. Besides presently
owning his own distribution company, he is a
musician and artist.
Darrell Swanson will be signing copies of
his book The Bodacious Descendant at House
of James, 2743 Emerson Street in Abbotsford on
Saturday, June 18 from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The
book is available online at Amazon, Barnes &
Noble and OffTheBookshelf.com.

visual arts talent throughout the Fraser Valley.
The intention of The Fraser Valley Biennale was
to mount simultaneous displays of work throughout
the summer at two locations in Abbotsford, as well as
Maple Ridge, Langley and Mission.
Wherever possible, the selected artists have been
invited to show their work outside their home mu-
nicipalities so that their work is given exposure to
new audiences.
What the jurors were really looking for was solid,
consistently professional work in any medium, said
Maple Ridge Art Gallery curator Barbara Duncan.
The overall concept was to show some of the amaz-
ing talent we have in such a wide variety of disciplines
here in the Fraser Valley. Its time that diversity was
celebrated on a regular basis, and the intention is to
mount this show every two years hence the name
biennale.
Another feature of the biennale is that artists work-
ing in any medium were eligible.
Abbotsford artist Bente Hansen was one of the art-
ists selected to show work at the Maple Ridge Art
Gallery.
Her painting, The Edge, with its broad sweep of
energy and colour, seems to describe a feeling and a
landform simultaneously.
Unique exhibit features paintings,
sculpture and a hat maker
Swanson
Dance for Rwanda school
Bard Chippereld and Brenda
(Rafuse) Wilkes are in awe of their
classmate Cathy Emmerson.
When their friend packed up her
bags and headed to Rwanda to run a
school for orphans eight years ago,
the pair pledged theyd do all they
could to support her.
Cathys getting a lot of recog-
nition for her work in Africa, but
we wanted to bring it home, said
Chippereld, who is organizing a
fundraiser dance with Wilkes this
Saturday.
A former Maple Ridge realtor,
Emmerson currently runs a free-of-
charge school called PREFER (Pov-
erty Reduction Education Family
Empowerment in Rwanda), which
helps educate and care for children
who would otherwise be out on the
streets. Her friends hope to raise at
least $5,000 for the project.
The fundraiser, featuring the Free
Time Band, takes place on Satur-
day, June 18, starting at 8 p.m. at
Pitt Meadows Heritage Hall located
at 12460 Harris Road.
Tickets are a minimum donation
of $20 and a donation to the Mead-
ow Ridge Food Bank.
For tickets, call Barb at
604-466-2010, Brenda at 604-463-0728
or Brianne at 604-5127805.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.
After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed
an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014.
This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep
the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST
system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.
Transition cheques for families & seniors.
Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family
will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST
system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will
provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income
up to $40,000.

business PROFILE
ADVERTORIAL
Hungry? For breakfast or lunch.
Theres a new restaurant in town, and its
very different from your usual lunch and dinner
place.
Richard Dys, co-owner of the new De Dutch
Pannekoek House in Maple Ridge, on Lougheed
Highway near 203 Street, said the restaurants
focus on breakfast and lunch foods separates it
from the crowd.
Were unique in doing breakfast and lunch
only, Dys said. Were open from 7 a.m. to 3
p.m.
Pannekoeken arent your average pancake,
either.
Our unique thing is Pannekoeken , Dys said.
Theyre about 12 inches, light and thin, like a
crepe.
De Dutch offers a wide selection of
Pannekoeken and toppings, including many that
arent conventionally associated with pancakes.
We have a variety of sweet or savoury
flavours, Dys said. Weve got everything from
strawberries and whipped cream to bacon,
mushroom, cheese, onions and green peppers
to cheddar, apple and salmon with Hollandaise
sauce.
In keeping with the restaurant theme, De
Dutch also offers Pannekoeken in traditional
Dutch style.
Theres stroop, its a Dutch syrup we use, Dys
said.
Its not just Pannekoeken on the menu,
though. Theres something for everyone,
including omelette-style scrambles with
everything from salmon to salami, multiple
varieties of eggs Benedict, hashbrowns,
bratwurst and turkey bacon and vegetable
dishes.
Dys said his staff is focused on making sure
each customer has the best possible experience.
It is all about the customers, he said. We
try to make it an experience theyve never had
before.
On that front, one area De Dutch focuses on, in
particular, is providing a good dining experience
for families. The restaurant has features like
wireless internet and an extensive kids menu.
Were really kid-friendly, Dys said. We have a
kids menu, we really try to cater to families with
children. It gives parents a piece of mind.
Dys and co-owner Mike Gemmell own two
other De Dutch locations, in Port Coquitlam
(on Lougheed Highway near Westwood Street)
and North Vancouver (on West 3rd Street, near
Bewicke Avenue). He said theyve been targeting
an expansion to Maple Ridge for quite some
time.
Weve been wanting to be out here for the
past three to four years, Dys said.
The location that became available in Westgate
Centre provided them the impetus to make the
move.
The locations great, Dys said. Being on
Lougheed Highway, its a prime location in Maple
Ridge. With Starbucks and Save-On Foods there,
theres a lot of walk-up traffic.
For Dys, the business is a family tradition. He
got into it right out of high school and hasnt
looked back since.
My dads the founder of the whole chain, Dys
said. When I was 19, he offered me a chance to
open my own location.
He and Gemmell started business together
right away, but that was just an extension of a
decades-long friendship.
Weve been best friends since Grade Four,
Dys said. We went to high school together,
played soccer together, graduated together.
They opened the Maple Ridge location Feb.
12. Dys said the key to their success with other
locations has been great customer service, which
theyre hoping to repeat in Maple Ridge.
We do go for customer service, he said. At
my Port Coquitlam location, about 70 per cent of
my customers are repeat customers.
Delivering that dining experience and
customer satisfaction remains a priority for Dys
at the new Maple Ridge location.
We want to let people here know what were
about.

Garibaldi secondarys Robyn Timmer is headed to Alaska after landing a scholarship with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The Maple Ridge
Burrards didnt get the
start they looking for
Sunday night at home
against the Langley
Thunder, but they got
the result they wanted
as they overcame a
four-goal deficit to win
11-10.
We didnt make
things easy on our-
selves, but I think the
fact we were able to
come back shows we
are confident in our
abilities, said Bur-
rards coach Daren
Fridge. We just need
to work on getting
a consistent effort
to avoid getting into
that position to begin
with.
The Burrards im-
prove to 3-3 this sea-
son in Western La-
crosse Association
action with the win,
and move into fourth
place in the WLA
standings.
The Burrards fell
behind early Sunday
night as the Lang-
ley Thunder opened
up a 4-0 lead in the
first three-and-a-half
minutes of the game.
Although they had
played the night be-
fore, Langley showed
no signs of fatigue as
they tallied goals with
their first four shots.
However, Fridge
doesnt blame his goal-
ie for the early deficit.
It was a combina-
tion of things. They
were outrunning us...
he didnt see the shots
be released, and those
shots were perfectly
placed, said Fridge.
He didnt even have a
chance to get into the
game.
Baldi grad lands volleyball scholarship
Maple Ridges Robyn Tim-
mer is heading north af-
ter graduating this month
from Garibaldi Secondary
School.
Way north.
Timmer has accepted a
scholarship to play vol-
leyball for the University
of Alaska Fairbanks, the
northernmost university in
North America.
While Fairbanks lies just
200 miles south of the arc-
tic circle, Timmer will be
spending plenty of time
in and around the Lower
Mainland.
The Nanooks volley-
ball program plays in the
same NCAA Division II
conference as a number
of nearby schools, such as
Simon Fraser University
in Burnaby, and Western
Washington University in
Bellingham.
Ill be able to see my
family when I come down
for road games, so thats
great, says Timmer.
Timmer started playing
volleyball in the fifth grade
at Whonnock Elementary
School, and played for club
teams as well as the Garib-
aldi Rebels during high
school.
For the past two years,
Timmer has played for the
Surrey Synergy volleyball
club as a setter, a position
she likens to being the
quarterback for the team.
Youre only allowed
three contacts per side so
the first contact is usually
a pass to the setter who
sets up the play for the of-
fence, she said.
The team travelled to a
number of scouting tour-
naments across the U.S.,
where she was able to get
looks from U.S. colleges.
But a bit of self-promotion
didnt hurt, either.
Like many NCAA schol-
arship recipients, Timmer
marketed herself to pro-
spective schools in count-
less emails, using online
videos of herself in action.
You have to put yourself
out there, and not be afraid
to be rejected, she says.
And of course, grades
are extremely important.
Timmer completed Garib-
aldis International Bac-
calaureate certificate pro-
gram while maintaining
a straight A average. Her
grades, along with strong
SAT scores, helped her
land the lucrative scholar-
ship at UAF.
I always knew I wanted
to go somewhere with vol-
leyball, but academics have
always been the most im-
portant for me, she says.
Timmer was prepared to
forgo a volleyball scholar-
ship to study at UBC on the
strength of its environmen-
tal program.
She jumped at the chance
to study at UAF, however,
as it has one of the best
environmental studies pro-
grams in the world, she
says.
Its turned out so per-
fect, says Timmer.

Fridge opted to tem-
porarily pull Schibild
after the fourth goal,
putting Carson Mi-
chaud in net instead.
The change-up gave
the team a break in the
action to regroup and
get into the game, said
Fridge. Two and a half
minutes later, Schibild
was back in net, and
went on to stop 31 of
37 shots the rest of the
game.
He made some div-
ing saves late in the
game that definitely
kept us in it, said
Fridge.
With Schibild back
between the pipes, the
Burrards proceeded to
score five unanswered
goals in the first peri-
od, erasing Langleys
lead in less than 10
minutes.
Curtis Dickson
opened the scoring
for the Burrards six
minutes into the open-
ing frame, and added
another five minutes
later.
Dayne Michaud
scored to cut Langleys
lead to one, and with
less than five minutes
to play in the period,
Joel Dalgarno tied
things with his ninth
goal of the season.
Pete Tellis added an-
other with three min-
utes left in the period
to send the Burrards
into the intermission
with an improbable 5-4
lead.
Langley pushed back
in the second period
with three unanswered
goals of their to retake
the lead.
However a quick pair
of goals late in the pe-
riod by Dalgarno and
Tellis tied things up
for the Burrards going
into the third.
The two teams trad-
ed goals for the first
half of the period be-
fore Derek Lowes
goal with six minutes
to play tied the game
at 10 apiece. The score
remained knotted un-
til Dickson completed
his hat trick with 39
seconds left on the
clock to give the Bur-
rards their third win
of the season.
Dickson finished
with six points, as did
Dalgarno, who fin-
ished with four goals.
Tellis had two goals
and two assists, while
Lowe had one goal and
three assists. Rookie
Riley Loewen also
had a four-point night,
posting a quartet of
assists.
Garrett McIntosh,
Aaron Pascas, and
Schibild each had as-
sists as well.
The Burrards pen-
alty kill was perfect,
stopping all four Lan-
gley power play oppor-
tunities.
I was really happy
with our back end,
said Fridge. [After
falling behind 4-0],
they definitely stepped
up and played more
physically.
The Burrards power
play was also factor,
as they connected on
four of their six oppor-
tunities.
The Burrards travel
to Langley to play the
Thunder for the third
and final time this
regular season on Sat-
urday, before return-
ing home on Sunday to
host the league-leading
Victoria Shamrocks in
their first meeting of
the season.
Game time is at 6:45
p.m. at Planet Ice in
Maple Ridge.

ONE LANE ROAD CLOSUREDEWDNEY TRUNK ROAD
June 13July 22, 2011
MondayFriday, 24 hours
Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project
and Completion of Gantry Crane Installation
The Stave Falls Spillway Gates Reliability Project
has begun. The project involves the replacement
of the four existing radial spillway gates and the
existing radial gate hoists. To operate the gates,
BCHydro installed a new crane in 2010. This crane
is required to lift and lower the gates and is moved
into position on a rail that is embedded in the
roadway. BC Hydro will be replacing these rails
starting mid-June, 2011. A one lane closure of
Dewdney Trunk Road for six to eight weeks is
required to complete this work. Priority access will
be given to emergency vehicles and the school bus.
Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk Road will continue to be required over the next two years to
facilitate the replacement of the spillway gates. In general, these will be short-term (1015 minutes)
or single lane closures. To install the new gates, a full road closure of approximately three days will
be required four times during the two-year project.
Loop Trail will be closed over Blind Slough Dam during construction. BC Hydro will re-open road
and pedestrian access over the dam when construction schedules allow (e.g. primarily evenings
and weekends).
HAYWARD LAKE RESERVOIR LOWER WATER LEVELS AND
HAYWARD STREET ROAD CLOSURE
Reservoir Drawdown: May 24June 24
Road Closure: May 30June 24
Starting May 24, 2011 the Hayward Lake reservoir water level will be lowered to accommodate
annual maintenance on the Ruskin Dam spillway gates. Lowering of the reservoir will begin on
Tuesday, May 24 to reach the elevation of approximately 34.5 metres in four days. Hayward Street over
Ruskin Dam will also be closed Monday to Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. from May 30 to June 24.
Lower than average water levels will expose steep shorelines and slippery slopes along Hayward
Beach and the entire reservoir shore. The beach can be used with caution, but the water will not
be accessible. The Hayward boat launch and dog beach will be closed. The picnic grounds will remain
open and available for public use. Trails will remain open; however hikers will be unable to complete
the Railway/Reservoir Trail loop due to the closure of both Ruskin Dam and the Floating Bridge at
Hairsine Creek.
An environmental management plan has been developed to protect sh and wildlife during the
lower water levels.
The water will begin rising again on Friday, June 24, 2011. Normal operating levels will return well
before Canada Day, July 1.
For more information on these projects, visit bchydro.com
or email LMSCommunityrelations@bchydro.com.
For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers. Today we
are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and
working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Milo is a very sweet,
handsome, orange tabby boy.
Shy at rst, Milo will need
time to build trust. Staff and
volunteers suspect he may
have been abused at one
time in his past. He loves to
give kisses once he trusts you
and is waiting for that special
home to show him not all
humans are unkind.

Angel Standing By
We gaze outside our windows,
And wish upon a star,
We open up our hearts,
And let our thoughts drift afar.
A tear rolls down our cheek,
As we reminisce the past,
You hardly got to live,
Your life went by too fast.
But now theres no way
we can bring you back,
No matter how hard we try,
Because now youre up in heaven,
As our Angel standing by.
Always remembered; never forgotten,
Our smiling son forever,
With us all missing you,
Dad (Tim), Mom (Vicki), Ryley, Cody,
Holly, Nikki, family and friends.
