Police have yet to speak to the driver of a car which slammed up-side down into the roof of another vehicle in Pitt Meadows last week, killing a young couple.

The 23-year-old woman remains in Royal Columbian Hospital with a broken neck. Her name is being withheld by police due to an active criminal investigation.

“They are just trying to stabilize her, given her injuries,” said Cpl. Al-anna Dunlop, with Ridge Meadows RCMP.

“It is not a paralysis situation. It’s non-life threatening.”

Rebecca ‘Beckie’ Dyer, 19, and her boyfriend Johnny De Oliveira, 21, died Oct. 19 when the woman’s Toyo-ta Paseo, heading east on Lougheed Highway, skidded sideways over a concrete median near Harris Road.

The Agricultural Land Com-mission has rejected the Pelton request to pull 153 acres from the farm reserve and turn it into a business park.

The decision was made Oct. 20, but only released Wednesday.

Chris Rounding, spokesman

for the owners of the former Pel-ton Reforestation tree nursery, at 203rd Street and Golden Ears Way in Maple Ridge, said the fam-ily is considering its options and has made no decisions regarding the future for the property.

“At this point, we have no idea.”

The family just found out Tues-day and is digesting the informa-tion “and considering our op-tions.”

They are disappointed in the decision, Steve Pelton said in a release.

The family hoped the “extensive community benefi ts and the sup-port received not only from Ma-ple Ridge council, but also from many members of the community would have persuaded the ALC of the merits of our proposal.”

At this point, the family has no further plans for the property, he added.

If it wasn’t for the construction of the new Golden Ears Way, join-ing 128th Avenue to Lougheed Highway, Rounding doubts the family would have applied for ex-clusion from the reserve.

Part of the proposal included 50 acres for community use, such as trails, sports fi elds and agri-business.

In its decision, the ALC said “that the proposal itself was an example of encroaching devel-opment into the ALR which … would negatively affect the agri-cultural suitability of neighbour-ing properties.”

It disagreed with the premise that it’s justifi able to convert farmland into industrial use “in a prime agricultural area.”

Lance Bannister’s steady hands and slow, precise speech represent something of a miracle. Weeks ago, Bannister, who

suffers from multiple sclerosis, could barely walk to the end of his street. His vision had deteriorated, and his mind was trapped in a thick mental fog.

He is one of close to 75,000 Canadians who suffer from MS, a disease that causes chronic pain, bowel and bladder failure, muscle spasms and speech diffi culties.

There is still no cure for the disease, but an experimental surgery called the “liberation procedure” may provide MS sufferers the hope of recovering.

However, the surgery is not available in Canada, and the medical community has been slow to recognize it.

As a result, Bannister became one of hun-dreds of Canadians who opted to leave the country to have the procedure performed at a private clinic.

The fog has lifted, he says. He is jogging, his vision has returned and he hopes to get his driver’s license back within a few months.

“It’s incredible,” Bannister says of his recent transformation. “The last year has been really hard on me. But now, it’s like I’ve turned back the clock.”

He can even use a computer again, something that was previously too hard on his eyes. The former graphic designer is even considering going back to work, something just a month ago he thought he would never be able to do.

Developed by Italian Dr. Paolo Zamboni, the liberation procedure represents a radical de-parture in how MS is understood, and treated. Once thought to be an auto-immune disorder and solely within the fi eld of neurology, if Zamboni’s theory proves correct, the disease may actually be vascular in nature.

According to his theory, constricted veins in the neck prevent blood from properly drain-ing from the brain, instead causing blood to pool, which in turn leaves the deposits of iron. Those toxic iron deposits trigger the body’s auto-immune system, which attacks the de-posits, causing collateral damage in the brain.

Zamboni dubbed the condition “chronic ce-rebrospinal venous insuffi ciency,” or CCSVI.

To treat the condition, a balloon is infl ated in the veins that drain blood from the brain to re-move the blockage, similar to an angioplasty. The procedure is already widely used to treat vascular disease.

For Bannister, the results were immediate. As he regained conciseness after his sur-

gery, he blinked his eyes, and turned and looked at the wife of a patient he was sharing

the room with. They had spoken the day be-fore, but now she appeared different.

“I didn’t realize how beautiful she was,” says Bannister. “I could actually see her now.”

Bannister paid $17,000 for the surgery at a private hospital in Costa Rica earlier this month.

“I was out for maybe an hour or two,” he says. “I was out of the hospital the next day.”

During his stay in Costa Rica, he met dozens of other Canadians who had fl own down for the same procedure.

Many had similar results, he says.Dave Ius is another MS sufferer who can at-

test to the procedure’s success. Like many tourists, Ius returned from Cabo

San Lucas earlier this month feeling like a new man. Unlike many tourists, however, Ius can attribute his newfound well being to hav-ing undergone the liberation procedure at the Amerimed Hospital while in the Mexican re-sort town.

“It’s like hitting a reset button,” says Ius. “I wish I could have had this when I was 17.”

Right away, he says he noticed the feeling coming back to his feet and fi nger tips. His balance was better, and the crushing fatigue which would keep him pinned to his bed most days, was gone.

“I went swimming in the ocean the day af-ter the procedure,” says Ius. “I haven’t been swimming in the ocean in 15, 20 years.”

But despite the growing tide of positive an-ecdotal evidence, the Canadian Institute for Health Research has not supported clinical trials, citing a lack of scientifi c evidence. The MS Society of Canada has helped to fund sev-en studies to help provide that evidence, but so far they haven’t supported a move to clini-

cal trials.As a result, Canadians who can’t afford the

$10,000 to $20,000 price tag for the surgery are out of luck.

That needs to change, says Bannister.“It’s given me my life back,” he says.Ius was able to raise the money for the pro-

cedure thanks to a fundraiser held by his fam-ily and friends.

“I’m so thankful,” he says. “They literally gave me my life back.”

Some aren’t so lucky, however.Steve Robinson was fi rst diagnosed with

MS in 1980. An avid bird watcher, Robinson now gets around on a custom-made powered tricycle that he takes along the dikes in Pitt Meadows. Should the procedure be success-ful, he looks forward to making his birding expeditions on foot.

“I want this as soon as possible,” says Robin-son, struggling with his words.

So far, he has raised just $3,000 of the $14,000 he needs to have the liberation procedure per-formed in Mexico.

“Right now, our goal is help Steve get the surgery,” said Ius.

The three meet for coffee almost daily at the Starbucks at Westgate Mall, and form part of an informal MS support group.

They are planning to hold a fundraiser for Robinson in the coming months. They are part of the growing legion of MS sufferers who are demanding the clinical trials for the proce-dure so that it can be covered under Canada’s public health care system. Grassroots MS pa-tient groups across the country have begun circulating petitions, demanding they be given access to the treatment.

Currently, the procedure is performed pri-

vately in close to 40 countries worldwide, and is available through Kuwait’s public health care system.

“Time is of the essence,” says Ius. “Damage is being done every minute the condition is al-lowed to be present.”

Because the treatment represents a para-digm shift in how the disease is understood, Ius believes that the neurological community that has traditionally studied and treated MS has been slow to consider Zamboni’s fi nd-ings.

“It’s not an electrical problem, it’s a plumb-ing problem,” says Ius. “But the electricians aren’t happy about being put out of work.”

Last month, Canada’s provincial health min-isters vowed to look at ways to fast-track study of the treatment. The government of New-foundland and Labrador is funding a study of MS patients who have chosen to undergo the procedure out-of-country to evaluate the im-pact of the liberation procedure.

Although the MS Society of Canada doesn’t endorse the treatment, it has set up a web page to help walk MS sufferers through the decision of whether to leave the country for surgery.

Bannister’s doctor is now referring MS pa-tients to him, so that he can share his experi-ence with them.

“There’s no way this was a placebo effect,” he says. “Its given me my life back.”

A woman caught ear-lier this year with an arsenal of weapons in her Maple Ridge apart-ment will spend another month in prison.

Tanya Ann Michelle Sarkozi was handed the 15-month sentence Tues-day after she entered a sudden guilty plea to one count of unauthorized possession of a prohib-ited or restricted weapon in Port Coquitlam Pro-vincial Court.

The 30-year-old has been in custody since Jan. 26 and had origi-nally elected to take the charge to trial.

The four fi rearms she is guilty of stashing in-clude a sawed-off shot-gun, a Sten machine gun from the Second World War, a Colt revolver and a handgun.

Crown prosecutor Keith Boland said ammu-nition for the fi rearms was readily accessible.

He was seeking a sen-tence of two years.

“The position of the Crown was that Ms. Sarkozi was allowing others to store their fi re-arms in her apartment,” Boland explained.

Police in full riot gear, with weapons drawn, raided the Pinegrove Apartments at 11682 – 224th Street on Jan. 26 around 4:30 p.m., execut-ing a search warrant for

illegal fi rearms.Nine people were ar-

rested, but only Sarkozi, whose name was on the lease, and James Jo-seph Letendre, 27, were charged in connection with the raid. Each faced multiple counts of pos-sessing illegal fi rearms.

The pair initially barri-caded themselves in the apartment.

After the occupants re-fused orders to give them-selves up, ERT members, including snipers and a police dog, set-up around the building.

Sarkozi and Letendre gave themselves up after police used a fl ash-bang grenade and tear gas to fl ush them out.

Police recovered two handguns, a sawed-off shotgun and a machine gun from inside the unit. Police also seized body armour, pepper spray, ammunition, a replica airgun and replica as-sault rifl e.

Charges against Leten-dre were stayed in the summer.

“Crown made the de-termination that we could not prove that he possessed any of the fi re-arms,” said Boland.

CATCH UP MAINTENANCE

Check our website for more articles.

Give Us A Call

50%BrakePads & Shoes

*Some vehicles excluded! Enquire within. Expires November 15/10

One trend that has become too common is the complete lack of basic maintenance due to the motoring public’s misconception of how and what is really necessary. This is created by the car manufacturers’ advertisement campaigns which on the surface promote maintenance-free vehicles. In fact they are promoting a longer interval between tune-ups, a word that has virtually disappeared from the auto repair vocabulary. Unfortunately something is getting lost in the play on words. While new cars no longer need many tune-ups, they do require more maintenance in other areas that were not traditionally required.

Due to this misinformation, the average motorist is not maintaining their vehicle on the regular basis which is required. This results in some big surprises when you take your vehicle in for repairs. What you’re faced with on most occasions is more that you had planned for, in both dollars and the time spent without a vehicle while yours is in the shop being repaired. Now to add insult to injury, it seems the guy at the repair shop wants to sell you more than you think is necessary to fi x the problem at hand. Which in fact he is. What he’s doing is trying to save you some money down the road by performing some maintenance items that have been overlooked. This is called “Catch up maintenance” which is necessary to keep your vehicle up to what we refer to as the “Baseline maintenance level.”

When a vehicle arrives at our shop with a problem that has been ignored, compounded by a lack of basic maintenance items, we have what we refer to as a “diagnostic can of worms.” What that means is, there is no simple answer or solution to that vehicle’s problem(s) because it is more than likely a result of the lack of maintenance on one or more items. So to repair the vehicle requires that you play catch up which drives the price up, more than most people want to hear. If you choose not to complete all the required maintenance items to go along with defective parts, then you have fi xed the result of the problem and not the cause of the problem. Which in a nutshell means that before long you’re going to have the same problem or one very similar, which is not the fault of the repair shop. It’s here where most motorists make the worst mistake of all; they go to another repair shop hoping to get better news. In fact the new repair shop has to start all over again which will cost you even more money than you need to spend as they have no vehicle history to rely on.

Maintaining your vehicle on a regular basis will cut down your overall costs in a big way. But like anything else in life, it comes at a cost. You have to spend money to save money. Think of it as an investment. Give us a call, we can help!

A Maple Ridge woman had a car impounded for three days Wednesday for blowing a ‘warn’ read-ing into road side screen-ing device.

Ridge Meadows RCMP stopped her car around 11:30 p.m. on 207th Street near Maple Crescent af-ter noticing it swerving in a lane.

The driver was issued an immediate roadside prohibition, a three-day day driving prohibition, in addition to having her car impounded for three days.

“With Halloween fast approaching, there are many social events planned in the commu-nity,” said Insp. Derren Lench.

“Police are encourag-ing residents to plan for a safe ride home after consuming alcoholic bev-erages. Police will be out on Halloween weekend enforcing these laws.”

Brazen break-inPolice are looking for

two men believed to be

involved in a break-and-enter Tuesday in Maple Ridge.

The fi rst break-in took place at a business on Lougheed Highway at 206th Street at 3:10 a.m.

A security guard on duty saw two men in a Honda Accord ram the front doors of the busi-ness with the car.

One of men was seen running in and out of the business. A cash register was stolen and the car fl ed when police arrived.

The security guard was able to get the car’s licence plate.

At 6:10 a.m., another alert resident called police about an unoccu-pied, suspicious vehicle in the 20600-block of Thorne Avenue.

Offi cers were able to link the car to the break and enter that took place just a few hours earlier.

“Thanks to two alert citizens, police were able to link these two events within hours of their occurrence. This is information that will

assist police with the investigation”, said Insp. Derren Lench.

• Anyone with any in-formation is asked to call RCMP at 604-463-6251.

Car crashPolice are asking driv-

ers to pay more attention while driving in rainy, foggy conditions follow-ing a crash Monday in Pitt Meadows.

Around 11:30 a.m., a Chrysler Neon collided with the rear end of a Toyota Prius while head-ing west on Lougheed Highway, near the Pitt River Bridge.

No one was hurt, but at the time of the collision, it was cloudy and raining.

Police remind motor-ists to maintain a safe distance while driving and slow down.

“With the onset of cooler, rainy and dark weather, it is important that motorists adjust their speed and driving distances according to weather conditions”, said Insp. Derren Lench.

THE NEWS/opinion

We don’t have a water cooler in

our home offi ce. But if we did, here is what may have been over-heard last week:

“I am fed up hearing about Jackson Farm (political fl ip-fl op), the Pelton property (look-ing grim for the family at the moment), HST (yawn), our downtown (whose downtown?), horse trails (clip-clop), bike lanes (our two-for-one deal means sidewalks are now bike lanes), urban sprawl (a Suzuki in every driveway), the pesky Agricultural Land Commission (are those little bat teeth I see growing from those normally toothless wonders), and all those other plat du jour subjects? Let’s change the subject.”

GrapheneLast week we read about two research-

ers who shared the physics Nobel prize, Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim of the University of Manchester. They reported back in 2004 that they were able to demonstrate interesting electronic effects with ultra-thin sheets of carbon that they created “by mechanical exfolia-tion ... of small mesas of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite.” In other words, they used Scotch tape to pull thin layers of carbon off a block of pencil lead.

If you think this is of no signifi cance, think again. Graphene in some form will be showing up in almost every electron-ics gadget we buy in the future. It is the silicon of tomorrow.

Is there an entrepreneur in Maple Ridge who will set up shop, producing graphene in one of our industrial parks?

The ConservativesIf Harper thought a billion-dollar G20

bash in Ontario would win Canada a seat on the UN Security Council, he thought wrong.

I wonder if our prime minister saw what I saw on Russian TV on Oct. 25? Putin says he plans to export water to countries in need. Water, he believes, would be second only to oil as a money-spinner for the Russians. Put that pro-posal in a Canadian context and interest-ing thoughts spring to mind. The ‘protect Canada’s water’ lobby should be leaping up and down with dire warnings of a U.S. threat to our dominant assets, rivers and lakes. Getting its hands on the tar sands would just be a bonus.

Post recession attitudesThere are schools of thought on getting

through the post recession years. They are ‘stimulate’ or ‘consolidate.’ Canada, by all accounts, has struck a balance between the two and has alternated be-tween stimulation and consolidation and fi nds itself almost unscathed in Q4 2010.

In all its victories and disappointments,

Canada appears at least to have got one thing right, and that one thing is fi scal policy. Neither left wing nor right groups can point to Canada’s fi scal policies and claim them for their own.

Arctic resources raceIf Canada is caught snoozing on this

one, it will be something we may regret for perhaps hundreds of years, assuming climate change does not get us fi rst.

Russia, China and the U.S. will make mincemeat of any countries wishing to lay claim to the resource rich Arctic. Iraq, the Middle-East and the woeful war in Afghanistan will seem like pleasant memories once the true vitriol of the Arctic Wars sets in; NATO will have its hands full on this one, no doubt. Let’s hope Canada is warming a seat in the Security Council by then.

The 2011 local electionsWe will be in the midst of a local elec-

tion in 12 month’s time. It seems that as the population in Maple Ridge grows, voter turnout falls. Disinterested voters can result in poor governance. Excessive voter interest leads to war.

Claus Andrup is a former member at large of the Maple Ridge Community

Heritage Commission, the Maple Ridge Economic Advisory Commission, and

former President of the Maple Ridge Historical Society. He has lived in Maple

Ridge since 1994.

Albion residents, those for shopping and oth-ers neutral to it, didn’t think the charette por-tion of the Albion area study plan was fair.

One even apologized for it.The fi nal charette was held at The ACT last

Thursday afternoon, when many people were working, so they couldn’t provide comment about whether or not or how to develop the fl ats.

But the two-day charette was only one part of an extensive process that included other pub-lic forums, including an open house after the charette. The district also created opportuni-ties to share ideas through the social media network Twitter, and by emails and question-naires.

Possibly more than ever before, local resi-dents could share there thoughts about how to shape a part of the community.

And let’s be real here, discussion about the Albion fl ats has been ongoing for several years. It would be shocking if someone older than 14 hadn’t heard the public pleas for more shop-ping in Maple Ridge.

SmartCentres owns a bunch of land in the fl ats and waged a public campaign – with a website, large highway sign and open houses of its own – to develop big box shopping stores there.

A group of residents affi liated with Smart-Centres started a petition for big-box retail.

Copious amounts of newsprint was dedicated to the subject.

Maybe it would have been better to hold the charette on a Saturday, with more representa-tion from the general public.

But there really are no surprises here.In the end, the consultant who is about to write

the Albion area study plan doesn’t foresee big-box stores in the fl ats. That would be impracti-cal with all the streams there, anyway.

If the fl ats are developed, expect a mix of rec-reational and natural features with some form of employment, light industrial or smaller scale retail, and transit-oriented residential.

Some people may pout about that.But everyone in the community had a chance

to comment.Council will have the fi nal say.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: No go on Pelton applica-

tion? (The News, Oct. 20).As one of the owners of the

“Pelton Lands” and a pro-ponent of the development project, I feel it is necessary to comment on the coverage provided by the Maple Ridge News on the recent Agricul-tural Land Commission (ALC) hearing.

Your newspaper is cer-tainly entitled to its opinion about this matter, but it is not entitled to substitute these opinions, or those of others, in place of balanced, objective reporting of events.

Unfortunately, that is what your readers were presented with in your front page story on Oct. 20.

On Oct. 13, we presented our application to the chair of the ALC and the members of the South Coastal panel. The pre-sentation was about a half an hour in length and the chair and panel members asked questions for a similar period of time. These questions were challenging and very clearly coming from a panel that takes seriously its obligation to protect farmland in British Columbia. We would expect nothing less from the ALC.

The meeting was open to the public and in attendance there were some supporters of the project, as well as some detractors. To the best of our knowledge, no one from The News was present at the hear-ing and The News was there-fore not in a position to profes-sionally report upon it.

Despite this glaring lack of direct knowledge or evidence, The News made the hearing a front page story and the sub-ject of an editorial.

On Oct. 18, fi ve days after the hearing, Norm Pelton received a phone call from reporter Phil Melnychuk of The News to ask his view of the hearing and to get details. Mr. Pelton confi rmed to him that there was in fact no news to report with respect to the ALC ruling – that it had not yet been made and that we

expected to hear in a month or so.

Without having a reporter at the hearing, one can only conclude that the primary source for the story was Diana Williams, the spokesperson for the Pitt Polder Preserva-tion Society, who was quoted at length in the story. This hardly seems like the way to write an impartial and well-balanced report.

Asking the Pitt Polder Soci-ety how it views an applica-tion to withdraw land from the ALR is like asking a Ca-nucks fan what he thinks of the Maple Leafs’ chances for a Stanley Cup.

As a result of this lack of perspective and balance, you reported, uncontested, Ms. Williams’ allegations that Maple Ridge council’s for-warding our proposal to the ALC was “a dirty deal. It was underhanded” and that “ ... it was not very democratic” – al-legations that are unfounded and untrue.

The uncontested presenta-tion of these allegations is a serious breach of journalistic integrity.

To be very clear, at some considerable expense, we have followed the rules and regulations set out by two lev-els of duly elected democratic governments in order to make our application.

The process is clearly set out in legislation and bylaws enacted, again, by duly elected democratic representatives.

Apparently, your newspaper accepts Ms. Williams’ position that if these processes are not to her liking, then they be-come “underhanded” and you support her defi nition of de-mocracy, where a small, un-elected, special interest group controlled by a few individu-als, such as the Pitt Polder Preservation Society, should be given more authority than a duly elected council.

This is not the defi nition of democracy that most Canadi-ans have grown up with.

The News continues in this story to report the Pitt Pol-

der Society allegations that campaign contributions have some connection to the pro-posal.

At no time has The News ever noted, as it should, that these contributions were made openly without break-ing a single rule or regulation. This continued use of innu-endo does a great disservice to both the council members and Mr. Pelton personally. He has had a long-standing inter-est in politics at all levels and has participated and contrib-uted to many campaigns over the years.

Mr. Pelton is fortunate enough to have both the pas-sion and the fi nancial re-sources to make larger contri-butions than many others in the community.

To suddenly impugn his mo-tives after many years of sup-porting election campaigns fl ies in the face of an unblem-ished reputation as a resident and businessman in Maple Ridge for more than four de-cades.

Does The News similarly be-lieve that the councilors who voted against the proposal did so because they did not receive a contribution from Mr. Pelton, and that they would have voted differently if he had supported their cam-paigns?

Despite the rhetoric es-poused by the Pitt Polder Preservation Society (which has seemingly been endorsed by the Maple Ridge News), the Pelton proposal offers the broadest spectrum of benefi ts to Maple Ridge that the com-munity has been offered by a development proposal in the past 20 years:

• a donation of eight acres for parkland;

• the opportunity for resi-dents to work and live locally – a goal set out in the Metro Vancouver Livable Region Strategy to create sustainable communities;

• providing the resources to help kick start the Agricul-tural Plan adopted by Maple Ridge in December 2009 (cur-

rently, no other funding re-sources exist for this plan);

• $800,000 for funding of local drainage improvements;

• land for community gar-dens as well as a contribu-tion of $25,000 toward start up costs;

• land set aside for farmers entering the business to be leased at $1 per year;

• an agri terminal to service farms and buyers throughout the Fraser Valley along with $50,000 for start up costs;

• land set aside for a post secondary institution to use as a research and extension facility;

• $25,000 for establishing a local Farmers Institute as set out in the Maple Ridge Agri-cultural Plan;

• an estimated $5.8 million in annual tax revenues to Maple Ridge;

• commitments that are di-rectly tied to the permit pro-cess to allow Maple Ridge to enforce promises to the com-munity.

I feel strongly enough about the lack of journalistic respon-sibility displayed by The News that I will be forwarding a copy of the article and edito-rial published Oct. 19 along with a copy of this letter to the B.C. Press Council.

Editor’s note: It is stan-dard for reporters to write about events at which they were not present. In this case, the reporter not only spoke to members of the Pitt Polder Preservation Society, who did attend the event, but also the executive director of the Agricultural Land Commission and the exclusion applicant, Norm Pelton. The story clearly stated no decision had yet been made on the applica-tion and included comments and opinions from people in the community about an im-portant and contentious is-sue. We maintain the story was fair and balanced, and advanced the discussion.

EDITOR, THE NEWS:Re: Big box ruled out in Albion (The News, Oct. 27).Our southern edge is the planet’s greatest salmon river,

with centuries-old sturgeon in its depths. To the west we are bordered by the world’s largest tidal

lake. Majestic mountain ranges form a northern backdrop. To our east are extensive forests, home to bears, cougars,

deer and coyotes.Within theses borders are some large lakes that allow for

many forms of recreation – fi shing, swimming, boating and camping – along their shores.

At the human level, we have developed a level of culture and a quality of life that often surprises visitors.

We have hundreds of talented artists in every media. A small sample of these two aspects, the culture and life-

quality, is evident in the daily activities that take place with-in a stone’s throw of the well-used Memorial Park, in our library, the Leisure Centre, and the ACT, where activities range from daily classes to the screening of international fi lms and shows involving famous artists and performers.

Amidst all these natural benefi ts are three detractions: a ride in a light plane reveals the almost permanent haze of polluted air that hangs over the Fraser Valley; the threat of a sharp decline in the number of returning salmon; and the steady loss of agricultural land and natural habitats.

As a token of appreciation for nature’s gifts and as our gift to future generations, we can establish a nature reserve. I doubt whether any other valley town, within its municipal boundaries, has a site that is so ideal.

The following supporting facts can be found in offi cial re-ports.

The area is home to an impressive range of life-forms ob-served by consultants in June 2010; a total of 28 bird spe-cies were seen. Migratory birds use the area as a stop-over. Bears, deer, mink, raccoons and voles and other rodents are still present. The rodents are an important food source for uncommon raptors like the red-tailed and Cooper’s hawks.

The cottonwood trees are suitable nesting places for Great Blue Herons

The Albion fl ats are part of the Fraser Valley Flood Plain, so much of the lower areas are wetlands, which act as fi lters by removing pollutants, but also provide habitat for marine life, a key part of the food chain supporting declining spe-cies like the green heron and Pacifi c water shrew.

Many smaller tributaries like Spencer Creek are impor-tant habitat for native trout and various salmonid species.

Native species of plants and insects can be introduced. We can, thus, have a living museum of what the valley was

like before massive human intrusion, and before the last few remaining such sites are farmed or paved over.

VICTORIA – Premier Gordon Campbell went on TV Wednesday night to announce a 15 per cent cut in personal income tax to take the sting out of the harmo-nized sales tax.

The income tax re-duction applies to the fi rst $72,000 of income, effective Jan. 1. The tax cut will save $68 a year for someone with an income of $20,000, and up to $616 a year for those with an income of $72,000 or more. Campbell said it will give B.C. the lowest provincial personal income tax in Canada, and business income taxes will also move to the lowest rates in North America.

The income tax cut will reduce the govern-ment’s tax take by $568 million next year. How-ever, the fi nance min-istry estimated in Sep-tember that recovering corporate income taxes would give the B.C.

government an addi-tional $2.1 billion over the next three years.

NDP leader Carole James said the income tax is a desperate at-tempt to “buy public support” that was lost over the HST.

“I believe in a compet-itive tax environment, but this is a ridiculous way to set tax policy,” James said. “There’s no explanation about what this does to the budget, what it does to our fragile economy, what program cuts will have to be made, what fees for services will go up for individuals.”

Campbell began his half-hour broadcast with an explanation of the introduction of the HST and its benefi ts to business. He stressed that 80 per cent of goods and services are taxed the same with the federal and provincial sales taxes combined.

Campbell also an-nounced an expansion of StrongStart early childhood education centres from 300 to 400 over the next fi ve years. The centres are mostly in schools and offer programs for pre-kindergarten children

accompanied by a par-ent or caregiver.

It wasn’t the bomb-shell announcement some were expecting, as speculation swirled prior to the speech that Campbell was intending to amalgamate school boards.

“Apparently a b o l i s h i n g school boards has been at the cabinet table and cau-cus for months without any consen-sus, especially from the backbenchers in his caucus,” said Maple Ridge school board trustee Stepan Vdovine in a live blog posting Wednesday night on publiceyeonline.com. “I know for a fact that in-tent is there, the timing might be the issue.”

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school board chair Ken Clarkson said Campbell lacks the clout to make such a move.

“I don’t think he had the credibility to make any major changes,” Clarkson said. “I’m glad he didn’t throw a wrench into public

education. His party is in such disarray, they would have made a mess of it.”

Campbell also prom-ised to con-duct early c h i l d h o o d learning as-sessments for five-year-olds entering Kin-dergarten be-ginning next year, to tailor individual ed-ucational pro-grams, and a committed

that within fi ve years, every child that gradu-ates from Grade 4 will be reading, writing and doing math at a Grade 4 level.

“These are all won-derful goals,” said Clarkson. “But in order to accomplish those things, we need to be given resources.”

While Campbell men-tioned in his speech that education spend-ing has steadily in-creased under the Liberals, and would continue to do so, much of those increases can be attributed to teach-er salaries negotiated by the province, said Clarkson.

Former Canadian sol-dier Gary Grigg is doing OK in retirement.

After 30 years in the services, he collects a disability allowance, a percentage of his ser-viceman’s pay, and a military annuity.

The veteran of the UN Cypress peacekeeping operation from the 1970s, however, is not happy with the changes that will affect soldiers now leaving the services. So he’s leading the local version of the Veterans National Day of Protest, Saturday, Nov. 6.

Starting at 10:45 a.m., veterans and their sup-porters from around Metro Vancouver will gather outside MP Randy Kamp’s offi ce on Lougheed Highway at 227th Street.

“This is not for myself, I’m happy with what I’m getting,” Grigg said Wednesday.

It’s for the new guys coming up, he says. The ones coming back from

the “Ghan” with physi-cal disabilities or post traumatic stress disor-der.

“We’re non-political, non-partisan, non-vio-lent. We’re going to do this with respect and honour,” he says of the protest.

The protest is against the New Veterans Charter, implemented in 2006, which changes long-term disability ben-efi ts in favour of a one-time lump-sum payment for sustaining a serious injury.

The maximum one-time payout is $276,079, so instead of a veteran with a severe disability getting a monthly pay-ment of a few thousand dollars for the rest of his life, there’s only a one-time lump-sum pay-ment.

Under the former sys-tem, a soldier could get $3,000 a month for the rest of his life, which adds up to about $2 mil-lion.

Under the new system, the one-time payment could work out to $380, if properly invested.

But one-time pay-ments don’t work well for servicemen just out of uniform.

S o m e o n e just having survived Af-g h a n i st a n , “you know he’s going to party. You know he’s also going to be dealing with post-t r a u m a t i c stress disor-der.”

The last thing a vet-eran just out of uniform is likely to do is consult a fi nancial adviser to in-vest that money wisely, he said.

More likely, the money will be spent, quickly.

“Then you’ll have spent all that money and there’s nothing for the rest of your life.”

They’re also objecting to the claw back of dis-ability payments.

In addition to claw-backs in the disability payments, the National Day of Protest opposes the tax on death ben-efi ts to widows when the veterans die. They also want better care for those who suffered from Agent Orange exposure at CFB Gagetown and an expanded program to help with post-traumatic stress disorder.

That condition, lingering mental and emotional scars, carries on long after a vet-eran leaves the services.

“PTSD is a real hard issue. It’s not tangible like a physical injury is.”

For Grigg, the p o s t - t r a u m a

from incidents involved in keeping Greeks and Turks at bay in Cyprus, changed his life.

“I never got married or had kids because I didn’t want to put them through it.”

While protests are be-ing held across Canada, only two, in Maple Ridge and Chilliwack, are be-ing held in the Lower Mainland.

Grigg expects a good turnout if people are coming from around the region.

He says he keeps in touch with organizers from across the coun-try and those he served with for 30 years.

“The veteran commu-nity, we stick together to help each other. It’s a brotherhood that no one can understand unless they have served.”

A sinking, rusting barge docked in the South Alouette River in Pitt Meadows for the past fi ve years vanished sud-denly Thursday morn-ing.

The fl otilla of junk was towed from its moorage west of Harris Road, ac-cording to a witness. But its owner, Ralph Rietel, doesn’t know where it is or just who took it.

“It wasn’t me,” he said when reached by phone Thursday afternoon.

“We’ll fi nd it.”The barge, on which

Rietel had been trying to build a house, hit the river bed after a winter storm in January 2009.

It was partially fl oating

upright until last week, when it sunk again.

The barge had been docked in the same spot for nearly fi ve years – with an old Volkswagen van, a shed, piles of wood and a container on its deck.

While Rietel owns the foreshore, or water side, of the dike for several hundred metres along the river, the barge was moored on Crown land, which is below the high-water mark.

It made enforcing any clean-up or removal im-possible for the City of Pitt Meadows.

The city, the land man-agement branch, the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, the Ministry of Environment, Trans-port Canada and Envi-ronment Canada had been trying to resolve ju-risdictional and environ-mental issues for years.

Bylaws enforcement offi cer Leslie Elchuk re-acted with surprise when told the barge was being towed Thursday.

Although beyond her jurisdiction, she’s been a persistent force for its removal. She went to the spot where it was docked and searched the Fraser River for it.

“A lot of people will be happy it’s gone,” she said as she stood in the rain.

“I don’t care who did it.”

Maple Ridge has al-ready set aside land for employment, the ALC said, and an exclusion would be an intrusion into the Agricultural Land Reserve and would “erode remaining farm-land by fueling specula-tion and precipitating similar requests from adjacent property own-ers.”

But Rounding wonders why Maple Ridge doesn’t get the same break as other municipalities, where agricultural land has been removed for industrial parks.

“It’s almost obvious to the point of being insult-ing – that Maple Ridge hasn’t been given the same opportunity.”

He said he doubts the commission was swayed by public opposition and

pointed out his applica-tion had least 40 letters in support.

The family can apply for reconsideration of the application within a year.

Diana Williams, with the Pitt Polder Preserva-tion Society, hopes the decision will send a mes-sage to Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge coun-cils about the ALR.

“It’s wonderful. We’re very pleased,” she said.

“This is a great deci-sion and hopefully it will put a damper on these other plans.”

Pitt Meadows recently expanded the study area north of Lougheed Highway, in its east end, so that all prop-erty between Lougheed and the proposed North Lougheed Connector could possibly be de-

veloped. While the land commission has OK’d the road going through farmland, it’s attached strict conditions, such as requiring covenants on all adjacent properties to ensure they remain farmland.

Maple Ridge Mayor Er-nie Daykin said he knew the Pelton request would be controversial. “It was a decision to send it for-ward to these folks and say ‘yay’ or ‘nay.’

“I respect their deci-sion and am not going to second-guess their deci-sion,” just as he hopes the ALC will respect council’s decision to for-ward the application.

It means the district still needs to fi nd a few hundred acres for indus-trial use so it can broad-en its tax base, accord-ing to its 2006 Offi cial

Community Plan. How-ever, Daykin said an in-dustrial land review, to fi nd out where and how the district can expand its business base, is next on the list after the Al-bion fl ats plan.

He shared Rounding’s questioning of other exclusion requests that have been approved.

“There are other ap-plications around the region I’m going to be watching carefully.”

It’s the second time the Peltons have applied to take property out of the reserve. In 2004, they were part of an applica-tion to remove 271 acres of farmland in that area.

Councillors of the day – Daykin, Candace Gor-don, Craig Speirs and Kathy Morse – rejected sending that to the com-mission.

By next spring, two new trail bridges will let hikers and horse-back riders move around easier on the North Alouette River Greenway.

Monday, Maple Ridge council OK’d the two projects that will to-tal $597,544, although grants from senior gov-ernments will reduce that cost by $215,000.

The bridges, one called the North Alou-ette River Greenway Bridge, the other, Ver-non Trail Bridge, allow

people to move east and west along multi-use trails basically from Pitt Meadows to Golden Ears Provin-cial Park with only a short stretch on a road shoulder.

The North Alou-ette River Greenway Bridge, near Park Lane and 136th Avenue, will replace a structure that was previously re-moved and keep horses from having to cross in the streams where they can damage fi sh habitat.

The greenway follows the North Alouette River then connect to Tim’s Trail and even-

tually Docksteader Trail in Silver Valley. Connecting trails then lead to Golden Ears Provincial Park.

The entire route in-cludes only a short pas-sage on the shoulder of 136th Avenue.

Thanks to gaps fi lled in the trails in the Docksteader Trail area a few years ago as de-velopment progressed, most of the trail is now off road, keeping users off 132nd Avenue.

The Vernon Trail Bridge at 216th Street and 136th Avenue, will replace an aging struc-ture.

Costs for the Green-

way bridge were high-er than projected be-cause of the decision to add a water main util-ity on to the bridge in order to serve adjacent property. That was part of a land exchange between Biln Farms, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

The bridge also had to be relocated, be-cause of concerns about building on the dike. The height also had to be raised so it could better withstand fl ood waters.

Under the grant con-ditions, the bridges have to be built by March.

New bridges better for hiking, horseback

The new parks and rec general manager wants to get things moving on Blue Mountain and work at getting some type of plan in place for the mountain in east Maple Ridge.

Kelly Swift said Tues-day that she wants to discuss the issue with Katzie First Nation, the district and Mike Pe-ters – with the Minis-try of Tourism, Culture

and the Arts – to see if there’s a way of sup-porting the process and moving it forward.

More than a dozen groups, representing everyone from environ-mentalists to dirt bikers to First Nations, have been involved in discus-sions over years, in an attempt at rewriting the Forest Recreation Man-agement Strategy, orig-inally written in 2003.

Swift pointed out that a recent sport tour-ism strategy for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows for Legacies Now noted that the area’s exten-sive network of outdoor trails is a unique asset.

Swift took over the top recreation job in Maple Ridge earlier this year after Mike Murray’s re-tirement.

Sharing Blue Moun-tain, which lies north of

Dewdney Trunk Road near the border of Mis-sion, are three woodlots, operated by Blue Moun-tain Woodlot, BCIT and Kwantlen First Nations. The UBC Research For-est and forest licences held by Kwantlen and Katzie First Nations also occupy the area.

Hiking, mountain bike, equestrian and dirt bike trails run through the area.

Maple Ridge taxpay-ers are getting a good deal when compared to their neighbours in the rest of the Lower Mainland, according to a District of Maple Ridge staff report.

That’s because the district’s tax increase from 2009 to 2010 was the third lowest in the region.

During that period, Maple Ridge’s tax-

es and utility rates climbed 5.7 per cent. Only West Vancouver and New Westmin-ster, with increases of 3.2 per cent and 3.7 per cent, respectively, were lower.

Surrey, Pitt Mead-ows, Mission and Lan-gley township were among the 13 munici-palities that all had larger increases, with Langley the greatest at 8.3 per cent.

While Maple Ridge’s increase was lower, the overall amount of property taxes it col-lects are also the third lowest.

The district is also do-ing well when it comes to the time it takes

development applica-tions to get through municipal hall.

A survey by the Commercial Real Es-tate Development Association, showed that it took 120 days for an application for a 100,000-sq. foot warehouse to get ap-proval in Maple Ridge. That’s considered “in the ballpark” for other Lower Mainland mu-nicipalities.

However, Abbotsford and Chilliwack were lower, with process-ing times of 90 days, while in Vancouver and North Vancouver it took 270 days.

When it comes to processing fees and

development cost charges (fees paid by developers for roads and sidewalks etc.), Maple Ridge is also in the same relative posi-tion.

When development charges and other fees are combined, Maple Ridge ranks the fourth lowest in the Lower Mainland in charging $246,323 for the above project.

Only Burnaby, ($162,383), New West-minster ($183,262) and Port Moody ($236,365) were lower, while Pitt Meadows ($360,359) Vancouver ($404,790) and Rich-mond ($879,264) were all higher.

Maple Ridge district has a new spokesman and he’s probably used to dealing with the me-dia.

Former Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Times publisher Fred Arm-strong has been named the new manager of corporate communica-tions. According to a re-lease from the district, Armstrong has more than 30 years of mar-keting and media expe-rience in newspapers and retail advertising.

Most recently, Arm-strong was publisher of the Abbotsford Times.

“Fred has tremen-dous passion for and commitment to this community,” Mayor Ernie Daykin said in a release.

“I am excited that Fred will have the op-portunity to make an even greater positive impact on Maple Ridge in his new role as man-ager of communica-tions.”

Fred has won a num-ber of industry awards for his marketing, de-sign and writing, in-cluding a gold medal from the International Newspaper Marketing Association for his ad series announcing the re-launch of The Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Times in 1993. He was recently awarded a Paul Harris Award by the Meadow Ridge Ro-tary Club for his work on the ‘Home Town He-roes’ program.

In addition to his in-volvement in the local Rotary club, he’s on the arts council and is a past director with the local chamber of com-merce.

The Toyota fl ipped over and slammed into the roof of the Suzuki Swift that Dyer and De Olivei-ra were travelling in.

Dyer and a friend had just been picked up by

her boyfriend from a sold-out Justin Bieber concert in Vancouver. They were returning home to Pitt Meadows after dropping off Dyer’s friend in Maple Ridge.

Investigators have yet

to submit a report to Crown recommending charges.

Dunlop said part of the police investigation involves making con-tact with the surviving driver.

“It is not ideal to do that in the hospital, so that’s our next step.”

Investigators allege the woman was driving aggressively when she crashed.

Witnesses said the car ran a red light.

A funeral for Dyer and Oliviera took place Thursday.

18 – Friday, October 29, 2010 - THE NEWS - www.mapleridgenews.com

Maple Ridge resident and award-winning humanitarian, Dorothy Roberts passed away in her sleep at her home at the Willow Manor Seniors’ Com-munity last week.

Roberts was 94.The eldest of seven children to

Polish immigrant parents, Rob-erts’ younger brother was the infamous professional wrestler Gene Kiniski, who passed away just six months ago. Roberts’ mother, Julia Kiniski, served as an Edmonton alderman during the 1960s, and an elementary

school and residential neigh-bourhood in the Alberta capital now bear her name.

Roberts became well known in her own right as a nurse and dedicated volunteer, working with children in a number of capacities.

“Dad was a bank manager, so Mom got to do whatever she wanted,” said her son, Art Roberts. “She had a lot of

love and she wasn’t shy about sharing it.”

For her volunteer work, Rob-erts received the Governor Gen-eral’s Golden Jubilee Medal for community service, as well as the Pope’s Pro Ecclesia et Pon-tifi ce award, and Rotary Inter-national’s Paul Harris Medal.

A celebration of Roberts’ life is being held today [Friday] at Willow Manor at 1:30 p.m.

As an educator, I am around stu-dents most of

my waking hours. I have regularly

had discussions with students about under-standing the difference between what you say in private, with your friends, and what you say in public, within earshot of anyone.

I like to use the term fi lter and to remind them that when they are in public places, they need a fi lter to avoid saying or doing things that will embar-rass them or get them into trouble.

In the past 10 years, I have felt that the fi lters of students have become shredded.

In many ways, they seem to have little sense of what language is appropriate, what level of complaint or criticism is socially ac-ceptable or what topics might be sensitive.

I’ve heard many of my colleagues and other adults blame students and parents for such a sad state of civility, but I believe the events of last week point out additional, signifi cant factors –

factors which I feel discount much of the blame from students, but not all of the blame from parents.

The very public trial of Russell Williams last week and the release of lurid details of his crimes was a travesty in adult responsibility.

Plastered on the front page of every paper and shown nightly on every early evening news program, the photos of this obvious-ly mentally ill person, clad in the undergar-ments of women who he would torture and kill, was a gross dis-service to the children who could not help but be exposed to it.

If it was the midnight news or even the back end of a paper, perhaps the exposure would be limited, but no, the fi lters which we try to teach children to have were completely ignored by media sources and the law-yers.

Shame on the crown attorneys for feeling the “public needed to know the extent of the crimes.”

All the public needed to know, particularly

the young and infl uential public, was that a man with a serious illness had plead guilty and would never be in a position to harm anyone again – end of story.

At the same time, a video went viral on YouTube of seven-year-old girls in a dance contest in California who had on bikini tops, “booty pants” and danced in extremely suggestive sexual fashion.

It, too, was fl ashed on news services, thus ensuring that every child and pedophile would know it was out

there. Those who

organized the dance contest had no fi lter and those who broadcast it were no bet-ter.

So last week, any children exposed to the evening news would have seen a man

in women’s underwear and young children in hooker outfi ts.

Should we be sur-prised that they may not have much of a sense of what is appro-priate and what is not?

I’ve seen PG13 fi lms that have shocked me with the level of sexu-ality and bad language.

We need to teach our kids to filter

Yet the

theatres have been full of kids much younger than that and parents who are laughing hysterically at the fi lms.

What we sow is what we reap.

If we are disappointed with the ability of children today to understand appropriate public behaviour, perhaps we should do less fi nger-wagging at them and start installing a few more fi lters on what we allow them exposure to.

A little naivete and youthful innocence is not such a bad thing in our children.

We should be trying to pre-serve a bit of that, as adults and parents.

Right now, it seems there are few limits to what we’re

prepared to offer up to ensure they are “worldly” well beyond a reasonable level for their age.

We should not be surprised when they talk and act crudely if they are exposed to crudeness continuously.

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS - Friday, October 29, 2010 – 21

Two weeks ago, my family and I went to Edmonton for our Thanksgiving

weekend to visit relatives. It’s a very long trip, but

I must admit I love driving through the Rockies because it’s always a very pleasurable and enjoyable experience, see-ing the majestic beauty of the mountains makes the time go by more quickly.

Although my little girl did ask the question, when arriv-ing back in Maple Ridge, “Are we back in Canada yet?”

It’s amazing how quickly the grandeur of the mountains seem to disappear when driv-ing a few miles out of Jasper and you have that long flat eternity to Edmonton.

It’s funny how you don’t have that same urge to get out of your car to take pictures as

you did go-ing through the moun-tains, and yet it’s all part of the journey, get-ting to your destination.

If we had to drive from one side of Canada to the other, having to continuously navigate moun-tains hour after hour, I’m sure we would be just longing for a nice long stretch of straight road to relax on.

I think the mountains become more spectacular because of the plain and flat areas.

Life can be like that. I mentioned before that this

life is a journey that we are passing through.

There are parts that are like the Rockies and there are parts like Jasper to Edmonton, but it’s all part of the journey and part of life.

The times on the mountain-tops are much more memo-rable, whereas the other times can be mundane or even times of struggles.

These are the days that we can find ourselves grumbling or even complaining about or questioning our purpose and happiness.

The Apostle Paul went through many times of hard-ship in his life, but we never have any account of him com-plaining.

We fi nd in the letter that he wrote to the Christians in Philippi he said, “that I have learned the secret of be-ing happy at any time in everything that happens, when I have enough to eat and when I go hungry, when I have more than I need and when I do not have enough. I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:12 and 13 New Century Version)

Life isn’t always easy, so we need to learn that it’s not our situation or cir-cumstances in life that bring us happi-ness – whether we’re on the mountain or down on the prairie.

True happiness, true contentment can be found anywhere on life’s journey when you fi nd your strength in Christ.

Rod Shearing is senior pastor of High Way Church.

Introduced in 2009, the Tax-Free Sav-ings Account has

been a big hit based on the more than 4.7 mil-lion Canadi-ans who have opened an account since the program was initiated.

Not surpris-ingly, when new programs fi rst hit the road, potholes are often en-countered.

The TFSA was no excep-tion.

Relying on informa-tion provided by TFSA holders’ fi nancial institutions, on June 1, 2010, CRA mailed more than 70,000 letters to individuals who may have over-contributed to their TFSA.

Although many re-cipients thought other-wise, these letters were not offi cial notices of assessment, but rather a calculation of tax that may be payable.

In its news release, the Government of Canada stated “our government recognizes that there was some genuine confusion about the rules for the TFSA in the fi rst year. We understand that it may take time for some Canadians to learn about the program and for some fi nancial institutions to properly inform their clients about this product.”

The most common problem appears to be individuals who used their TFSA as a regu-lar banking account in 2009, making deposits and withdrawals on a frequent basis.

Individuals who transferred funds between TFSAs at dif-ferent institutions may also have run afoul of the TFSA rules if the transfer(s) were not “direct transfers.”

In each of these cases, over-contribu-tions can occur and taxes apply even if net contributions never exceeded the 2009 limit of $5,000.

While it’s true that funds withdrawn can be re-contributed to a TFSA, the addition to TFSA contribution room occurs in the year after the with-drawal and not the year of the withdrawal.

This is where many TFSA holders have run afoul of the rules.

“The Government of Canada confi rms that for the 2009 fi ling year, the fi rst year of the program, we have taken the decision to be

as fl exible as possible in cases where a genu-ine misunderstanding of the TFSA contribu-tion rules occurred.

Our intention is to review each situation on a case-by-case basis and, where appropriate, waive taxes on excess con-tributions for this year.”

Lucky letter recipients were given until Aug. 3, 2010 to re-

spond by either signing the letter and paying the calculated tax, or requesting a review of their situation and related circumstances.

CRA was set to as-sess those who failed to respond by the deadline.

Assessments will also be issued to those who, rightly or wrongly, paid the tax calculated on the letter.

If you are one of the non-responders, it’s not too late.

If you haven’t yet received a TFSA Notice of Assessment, you can still send a letter to CRA to request a re-view of your situation.

CRA will deal with such requests on a case-by-case basis and reach their decision after a review of all of the facts.

Don’t expect a favourable outcome if the only reason for your review request is unhappiness at having to pay the tax.

Facts speak volumes, so include any bank correspondence on the matter and details re-garding what happened and why.

If you have received a TFSA Notice of As-sessment, then you are into the formal process. This means you will need to fi le a Form 400A, Objection – Income Tax Act or direct a signed letter to the Chief of Appeals at your tax services offi ce or tax centre.

The deadline for fi l-ing this form or letter is the later of one year from the due date of the return or 90 days after the date of the Notice of Assessment.

The return referred to here is the 2009 TFSA return which was due on June 30, 2010. So if you have already received a Notice of Assessment, this will give you until June 30, 2011 to submit your objection.

Procrastination is rarely a good ap-

proach in dealing with tax-related matters, so you’d be well advised to get at sooner than later.

Finally, if you paid the tax calculated in the original letter and now you’re wondering if you were a little too hasty and might have been granted relief by CRA, you can still fi le a Form 400A to object to the tax you were as-sessed and paid.

It’s still likely to stand as the biggest return of Fraser River sockeye salmon in living mem-ory.

But scientists now expect to chop their es-timate of this year’s im-

mense run by as much as 20 per cent.

That could take the fi nal count of fi sh from 34.5 million sockeye down to around 29 mil-lion, according to Pacif-ic Salmon Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe.

“It’s probably going to be about fi ve million fi sh less than what the test fi sheries were sug-gesting,” he said.

Any run size change won’t become offi cial until at least January, when the commission’s Fraser River Panel meets again.

“If we do end up be-ing short, that will be disappointing from the standpoint of wanting to be right,” Lapointe said. “But it does look like we have healthy escapements across the board.”

That’s in stark con-trast to 2009, when barely a million sock-eye returned after more than 10 million were predicted, a danger-ously low return for the continuation of stocks that sparked the ap-pointment of the Cohen Commission now inves-tigating that year’s col-lapse.

This year’s 34.5-mil-lion run estimate was reached largely on the basis of huge test fi sh-ing catches in offshore waters.

Test boats were at times netting more than 40,000 sockeye in a single catch and ob-servers on board had to make rough estimates of what they saw gath-ered in nets before they were released.

But as the salmon en-tered the Fraser River and headed upstream, the numbers counted going past the hydroa-coustic detector at Mis-sion were coming in lower.

That suggests big test catches skewed the run count too high.

Making accurate estimates is always a challenge because sci-entists extrapolate the total run size up from a count of barely one per cent of all sockeye using the various methods.

The likelihood of a lower fi nal count was recently discussed by the Fraser River Panel, but Lapointe said the decision was to hold off on offi cially lower-ing the run size for now while more data comes in.

The fi nal stage of the fi sh-counting process happens in upriver trib-utaries where sockeye

spawn and researchers count dead spawners to help build an estimate of how many salmon actually made the full migration.

“We’re waiting to see what happens up-stream,” said Kyle Ad-dicks, a Washington State fi sh biologist who is a U.S. representative on the panel.

Those counts, expect-ed by January, will be used to further adjust the run estimate.

Lowering the estimate now might have simply led to it being raised again later, he noted.

“Typically if you’re plus or minus 20 per cent you’re not doing badly,” Addicks said.

But Sto:lo fi shery ad-viser Ernie Crey fears the overestimate in the middle of the frantic commercial fi shery led to overfi shing.

“If the estimation is out by approximately 20 per cent, it points to some shortcomings,” Crey said. “Both in their ability to estimate how many fi sh will return in a given season and even their ability to estimate in season how many fi sh have returned.”

While he agrees the erroneous run size may simply be due to bad counts of fi sh that didn’t actually exist, Crey also questions the accuracy of commercial fi shing catch reports, which he said are done on the “honour system” and not subjected to as tight scrutiny as aboriginal commercial fi shermen.

This year’s run was projected in advance to yield 11 million sockeye – another number that proved way off.

If the numbers come in as now expected, 2010 will stand as the largest sockeye run since an estimated 39 million re-turn in 1913 – before the Hell’s Gate rock slide disrupted salmon runs for years.

The next biggest sock-eye run since then was 23.6 million in 1993.

Counting methods are to be among the issues explored by the Cohen Commission.

MEDICINAL CANNABIS

www.mapleridgenews.com - THE NEWS - Friday, October 29, 2010 – 27

I know this guy named Linus van Pelt who worships a

pagan deity he refers to as ‘The Great Pumpkin.’

His religion is not a particularly demanding one, as he need only pay homage but once a year – that being on the evening of the last day in October.

In preparation for this momentous occasion, he dedicates his entire garden to the cultiva-tion of a single crop, an archaic vegetable called pumpkin.

Said vegetable is generally round or slightly squat in shape, orange in colour (variations do exist) and serves little purpose except as the primary ingredient of a festive pie.

Anyways, every Halloween Linus sits in the midst of his pumpkin patch in hopes that ‘The Great Pumpkin’ will fi nd it the most sincere and shower him with gifts beyond the imagination.

Needless to say, with so many pumpkin patches across this globe and only one found worthy, there are a lot of disap-pointed Linus types out there.

Such was not the case last Sunday on Thornhill in east Maple Ridge, where a group of self-proclaimed ‘pumpkineers’ braved the stormy weather and gathered on an undisclosed gravel road to begin a day of festivities honouring the humble pumpkin.

The celebrations began with a pumpkin roll, pitting the round vegetable against gravity, bumps in the roadway and water hazards also known as ditches.

There were surprisingly few casualties in this event, and despite the prevailing

logic that bigger was better, such was not the case – as it turned out to be a contest of pure luck.

Of course, there was no serious compe-tition until it came to the weighing-in of pumpkins that afternoon at Thornhill hall.

Here the heavyweights were carefully scrutinized while onlookers complained of poor weather, a rainy spring or deer munching (which diminished much needed poundage).

Excuses aside, it was the weigh scale that would determine the three winners, with Ken Hemminger coming out on top with his 130-pound colossus.

He credits his success to following a strict feeding regimen of SuperKelp, 20-20-20 and Epsom salts – watering only in the morning and being careful not to moisten the foliage.

Ken also started them out under mini 8x10’ greenhouses and only allowed two pumpkins per plant to set, after which all new fl owers were cut off.

Similarly, each vine was only allowed to grow to 25’ (side shoots to 5’) and kept to that size with occasional pruning.

Of course, there were other secret grow-ing ingredients, including fresh rabbit pellets, grass clippings, aged horse and chicken manure, leaf mulch, compost, a few Crappies (fi sh that is) and the most revered fertilizer/love.

Dan Kosicki admitted to resorting to more drastic feeding methods when his entry appeared to be languishing – hook-ing it up to an intravenous feed of Bud-weiser beer.

Coincidentally, his pumpkin also had the fattest stem (by three fold) of any of the other entries, exhibiting what I believe to be the vegetable version of a beer belly, perhaps even the fi rst of its kind.

Karen Read, winner of the smallest pumpkin at 10g (yes, that’s in grams) was away on holiday, but her husband was kind to enough to reveal the secrets to her success. She grew her prize-winning entry in an old tire under big cedar trees that shaded them out and hogged most of the groundwater. She, too, tried fi sh fertil-izer, burying two salmon heads before planting.

That evening we gathered again at the

hall to judge the Jack-O-Lanterns and hand out the much-deserved awards.

The most exuberant recipient was by far young Max Meekel, who placed second in the pumpkin rolling contest – although I have to say that Ken Hemminger’s victory lap around the hall to the theme of Rocky was quite inspiring.

The people’s choice award for best adult pumpkin carving was the thorny charac-ter you see above, which was the artistic brainchild of Pascal Bouchard.

Perhaps the most telling comment of the evening was my daughter’s casual remark that it seemed weird (in a good way) for all these people (about 35 families) to get together over pumpkins – and yet, I sus-pect that that was the goal of organizers Betty and Klaus von Hardenberg all along.

And if community spirit can indeed be found in such an unlikely source, then I think we should all be growing a few more great pumpkins.

Home&GardeningTHE NEWS

BY BRIAN MINTER

News Contributor

We all need a late winter

pick-me-up with some

reliable colour that can

withstand nature’s sometimes

fi ckle mood swings. Late cool

spells and heavy frosts (as well as

snow) are still a possibility, so it’s

important to choose early March

outdoor colour carefully.

So, what are the best cool-lov-

ing plants for a hot display? By far

and away, the top performers are

violas and pansies. Pansies may

be old fashioned favourites, but

the many new colours and variet-

ies have certainly kept them up-

to-date and interesting.

My latest favourite is the new

Ultima Morpho, a European

Fleuroselect Gold Medal winner.

It’s a distinctive bi-colour with

mid-blue upper petals and bright

yellow lower petals. Talk about

standing out in a crowd. I used

Morpho in our winter planters,

and it added a much needed lift to

the more muted tones of the other

winter plants.

Wallfl owers are more suited to

late May or June gardens, but I’ve

got my eye on the new dwarf va-

riety, called Fragrant Sunshine,

which, unlike most others, is

perennial and will repeat bloom

year after year. In other words,

with Fragrant Sunshine we can

enjoy early fragrance and colour

and long continuous blooming. I

watched them over the winter in

cold greenhouses, and even their

foliage is beautiful.

Don’t forget their cousins,

Bowles Mauve and its variegated

form that have great perfume and

bloom well into late spring and

summer.At this time of year, the soft co-

lours of primroses blend beauti-

fully with the bronze foliage of

bergenias (Zone 3), heucheras

(Zone 5) and heucherellas (Zone

5), and the reds, bronzes and deep

yellows need silvers, like Dusty

Miller, around them to create a re-

freshing spring look.

The amazing Heuchera Green

Spice is magic with them too, as

is the wonderful Tiarella Forest

Frost (Zone 5).

If you look carefully at this time

of year, you can fi nd some of the

early Wanda primulas throw-

ing out the odd fl ower here and

there. Remember that today we

have the newer seedling varieties

from England in a wide range of

colours accenting those burgundy

leaves. The white and yellow Wandas

are my favourites because they

look so rich with any back up

foliage. They are great garden va-

rieties too, unlike so many of the

big fl owered acaulis varieties we

see today. They do best in partial

shade and if you can, blend them

with four inch pots of the orna-

mental grass, Carex morrowii

Variegata.This combination is beautiful in

light shade under trees.

The amazing early blooming

varieties of English daisies, like

Galaxy, are a true bonus for early

colour. Once properly hardened off, they

are amazing. Either planted by

themselves or spotted in among

white winter heather or Carex

morrowii Variegata, the reds,

pinks and whites of these small-

fl owered button daises scream

spring. They are the way to go.

To make your early displays

stand out, you need a good sized

accent plant, complemented by

enough smaller ones to create

an effect that makes everything

jump. The good news is that many of

these plants are perennials and

as the seasons progress, they will

keep these spots going all year

round with the help of other ac-

cent colours.

These plants are the stuff that

great gardens and containers are

made of. They’re not just a momentary

splash – they’re a colour invest-

ment and are well worth the effort

to fi nd them.

Pansies are perfect for winter colourMETRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS

Pansies and violas are a great selection for a March garden. Though pansies may be an old fashioned favourite, there are a variety of new colours and

varieties that have been bred that will give your garden the perfect punch for the winter blahs.

The City of Pitt Mead-ows is battling a family of beavers who are busy damming a ditch in the polder. For the past three weeks, operations staff have removed their dam weekly, only to fi nd it rebuilt in a few days.

“Beavers are tena-cious little guys. They are hard workers,” said operations superinten-dent Randy Evans.

The dam off Rannie Road has the potential to cause fl ooding and that’s why city crews are pitting their back-hoes against the semi-aquatic rodents. Remov-ing the dam repeatedly is a humane way to the beavers to relocate.

“If they are in an area that doesn’t cause us any problems, they can build away,” he explains. “But if they are near an area that’s causing fl ooding on the road then we will go in and take dams out. They like this spot.”

In the past, the city has hired trappers to remove the furry crea-tures to keep them from clogging ditches, erod-ing dikes and plugging pump stations.

WE THINK: WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY, YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE.

To keep your family safe from the dangers of carbon

monoxide, have your natural gas appliances inspected

regularly and, for extra peace of mind, you may consider

installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home.

Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, and dangerous.

That’s why it’s important to know the warning signs of

exposure that can affect anyone: chronic headaches,

nausea, drowsiness, impaired judgment, and loss

of coordination.

Leader of the packMadison Fox of the Albion Elementary All Stars leads a pack of Grade 4 girls at the start of the 2-km race during the School District 42 cross country finals Tuesday after-noon at Alouette Lake.

The Vancouver North East Chiefs dropped their third game in a row after falling to the Greater Vancouver Canadians 6-5 in ma-jor midget hockey ac-tion Sunday afternoon at Planet Ice in Maple Ridge.

The Canadians got on the board fi rst, three and a half minutes into the fi rst period, but the Chiefs answered back with a pair of goals from Maple Ridge’s Matt Bissett and Adam Rockwood to take a 2-1 lead.

The Canadians were able to tie things up before the fi rst buzzer and took a command-ing lead in the second after scoring three goals in under a min-ute and a half.

Bissett scored with fi ve minutes left in the third period to bring the score to 5-3, but the Canadians scored on their next shift to retain their three-goal lead.

With the score 6-3 and time winding down, the Chiefs managed to pot two goals in the fi nal 15 seconds of the game to draw within one. Despite the goals by Nick Hermany and Bissett, who completed his hat trick, the come-back was too little too late, as time expired on the Chiefs.

Dominic Centis and Tyler Martin each picked up a pair of assists, while Conor McCoach, Daniel Del Bianco, and Joey San-tucci added helpers of their own.

It was the second loss in a row for the Chiefs against the Canadians, as they dropped the fi rst game of their two-game weekend series 4-2 on Saturday.

The Canadians again got the jump on the Chiefs, taking a 2-0 lead into the fi rst inter-mission.

The Meadow Ridge Knights pee-wee football team earned their sev-enth win of the season, and their sixth shut-out, by downing Langley 32-0 last weekend.

The Knights’ defence was led by Taylor Caughy who had an intercep-tion and numerous tackles. Brandon Hunt and Lukas Kolobara were also key contributors on defence, while Jaden Shanley scored three touch-downs to lead the offence.

The peewee Knights are top of

their division in the Valley Commu-nity Football League with a perfect 7-0 record, and have managed to out-score their opponents 195 to 13 this season.

In atom football action, the Mead-ow Ridge Blue Knights also posted a shut-out, defeating the North Lang-ley Bears by a score of 38-0.

Strong blocking by Ethan Van-staaldvinen was key as Harrison Longhi scored a pair of touchdowns. Ryan Waslyk and Keanyn Hamilton led the Knights shut-out defence.

The atom Gold Knights were also victorious, as they beat the Chilli-wack Blue Giants 36-12. Touch-

downs were scored by Michael How-arth, Cody Hogarth, Tyler Spencer and Nickolas Leinhaas. Kurtis Her-on, Mason Wakabayashi, Nicholas Stroud and Sebastian Berg stopped the Blue Giants passing attack to force two turnovers.

The junior bantam Knights were on the wrong end of a 38-20 score as they lost to the North Langley Bears. The Knights played strong overall, but gave up several big plays which cost them the game. A big block from Matthew Cameron allowed Brian Dongalen to score one of his two rushing touchdowns, while Brandon Shanley had the oth-

er Knights touchdown. Marcello Lu-carino and Peter de Zeeuw led the defence with strong play.

The Knights’ midget team lost 49-0 to the powerhouse Nanaimo Red-men. The Knights were able to keep Nanaimo off the score sheet in the fi rst

quarter, but penalties ended up costing them dearly. Ross Allam and Pablo Anaya were stand-outs for the Knights, who drop to 3-4 with the loss. The midget Knights next face Richmond this Saturday at Samuel Robertson Technical, the fi rst of a three-game homestand to fi nish the regular season.

Bisset scores hat trick in 6-5 loss to Canadians

A trio of local runners qualified for the senior high school cross-country provincial championships next month after strong perfor-mances at the Fraser Valley finals at Aldergrove Lake Park in Lang-ley on Tuesday.

Leah Regan of Maple Ridge Sec-

ondary finished fourth out of more than 150 competitiors in the senior girls’ race. She finished the 4.5-km event in 16:29, 40 seconds behind race-winner Ashley Windsor of Walnut Grove Secondary.

Nathan Wadhani of Thomas Haney Secondary and Bryce La-belle of Garibaldi Secondary both qualified for provincials in the 6.5-km senior boys’ race.

Wadhani finished 19th in the field

of more than 200 runners with a time of 22:54. Labelle, who won the Chilliwack Invitational earlier this month, finished 35th with a time of 23:32.

With more than 200 competitors running together on the same nar-row trail, Labelle said the crowd-ed conditions made it difficult to break away from the pack.

“There were people constantly cutting you off and bumping into

you, so that made it a lot harder to get into a rhythm,” he said. “It was an average time for me this sea-son, but I think I could have run faster. I’m hoping to do better [at provincials].”

More than 250 are expected to take part in the race, scheduled for Nov. 6 in Saanich.

“This my first trip to provincials, so I’m hoping to get into the top 50,” said Labelle.

Pair of tough losses for ChiefsLiam Pearce got the Chiefs on

the board early in the second, the Canadians answered back with a pair of goals less than two and half minutes later to take a com-manding 4-1 lead.

Trevor Sutton scored for the Chiefs to bring them within two, but it was as close as they would

get, with both goalies shutting the door in the third period.

Centis and Bissett both picked up assists.

The Chiefs fall to 2-5-3 this sea-son, and are in eighth place in the 11-team B.C. Major Midget Hockey League.

SHARPE, Robert Stewart

October 10, 1955-October 21, 2010

With great sadness we an-nounce the passing of Robert, beloved son of Theodore and Flora Sharpe. Raised in Pitt Meadows BC, Robert eventu-ally moved to the Vancouver area where he continued his career in the fi nancial industry, primarily in I.T. management. While still working in Vancou-ver, Robert moved to Maple Ridge BC in 1987 where he lived the rest of his life. Rob-ert was an intelligent, gener-ous person with a great sense of humour, and he had a great appreciation of the outdoors. Wherever he traveled he was always happy to come home. He especially enjoyed the au-tumn when he would pack up and go on his next adventure. An avid reader, he also en-joyed sports of all kinds, both as a participant and fan. He became a lifelong fan of the BC Lions after attending games with his father at Em-pire Stadium as a young boy.

Robert was predeceased by his father, Ted, in 2004 and is survived by his mother Flora, a resident of Willow Manor, Ma-ple Ridge. He will be forever missed by his loving partner Louise, his ‘little black wolf’ – poodle Cole, his sisters Leslie (Tom) Holtby of Greendale BC, Laurie (Walter) Morley of Delta BC, brother Lindsay ‘Ted’ of Germany, nieces Danika and her daughter Ashlin, Brenna (Todd) Ewing and their son Holten and daughter Delaney, and Alanna (Jarek) Naslund and their daughters Olivia and Audrey, nephews Scott (Alana) Morley and Leland (Lara) Holtby, in-laws Gordon and Joyce Lang-ton of Keremeos BC, sister-in-law Carol (Jim) Polvi of Port Moody BC and their sons Gregory (Beth) and Jonathan, as well as many friends and relatives.

A celebration of Robert’s life may be arranged at a later date and close relatives and friends will be advised.

Robert, you left us far too soon. Rest in Peace. Condolences may be sent to: www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
