Grieving mother warns against speeding
The mother of a 19-year-old Pitt Meadowsman who was killed in a fiery car crash onthe August long weekend wants to warn
other young people about the dangers of speedingand reckless driving.
Laurie Streiling’s son Sheldon died in acar crash on July 31, which ended with hisMitsubishi Eclipse erupting into flames.
He was driving westbound on LougheedHighway and swerved to avoid a turning vehicle.His vehicle then ended up sliding backwards intothe eastbound lane of Lougheed Highway andhe struck a Hyundai with two passengers fromMission head on.
Police said in a media release that speedand aggressive driving were determined to becontributing factors. The two passengers in
the Hyundai were taken to Royal ColumbianHospital for medical treatment. There was noevidence that he had been drinking.
Laurie described her son as “a great kid” whocommitted a “foolish act.”
She said from what she understands her sonwas driving between 150 to 200 kilometres anhour prior to the crash.
“There’s a time and a place for this type ofspeed. They need to be out at the Missionraceway and not on our city streets. We have lostour son because of his foolish act but he’s alsoimpacted so many people around him from hisloss,” said Laurie. “He impacted another familywho was travelling home that evening, the othercar that was hit.”
Laurie said she’s heard the man suffered abroken wrist and the woman had to undergosurgery due to internal injuries.
“He was a bigger than life personality andthese young guys have got to get it through their
heads that racing like this, speeding like this andshowing off it’s affecting so many people,” shesaid.
Sheldon had been training to become amechanic. Laurie said he loved skateboarding,snowboarding, anything to do with cars andspending quality time with his family.
“He really loved his family. He was allabout family and friends,” she said. “He gaveeverything to everybody around him. He wouldhelp anybody with anything.”
Laurie said she decided to speak out in hertime of grief because she doesn’t want his deathto be in vain.
“I want somebody to learn from this,” she said.Sheldon left behind a 16-year-old brother,
Ashton, and his dad Colin and mom Laurie, aswell as a girlfriend of two years.
There will be a memorial service on Aug. 14 at2 p.m. at Burkeview Chapel, which is located at1340 Dominion Avenue in Port Coquitlam.

Festivals struggle despite popularity
It’s been a tough time forfestivals recently withprovincial government
gaming grants to festivalsbeing cut and the recessionaffecting sponsorship frombusinesses, among otherissues.
For the first time since 1997the Maple Ridge Jazz andBlues Festival isn’t happeningthis year. And although theCaribbean Festival has beengaining popularity and wassuccessful again this yearwith large crowds comingout, it is also facing somenew challenges.
Ineke Boekhorst, one of theorganizers of the CaribbeanFestival and executivedirector of the DowntownMaple Ridge BusinessImprovement Association,said organizers had tocontend with a logisticalheadache after the firedepartment told organizersthey couldn’t have a stage onMcIntosh Street.
“The Caribbean Festival wehad to make a major change.It was meant to be a streetfestival and for nine yearswe were out on the streetand we were told by the firedepartment that we couldno longer be there becauseif there was an emergencythey couldn’t get throughto 224 Street so that was amajor impact for us and wereally actually consideredto move it to Pitt Meadows
or somewhere else becausereally the Caribbean Festivalis outgrowing Maple Ridge abit,” said Boekhorst.
The festival decidedto put the stage up onthe southwest corner ofMemorial Peace Park onproperty that the district iseventually hoping will bedeveloped into a hotel.
“If that’s lost from thefestivals I think that willmajorly cut into the amountand size of festivals that wecan have in Maple Ridge.It’s so incorporated nowinto the park that it’s almostunimaginable not to havethat space anymore,” saidBoekhorst.
Assistant fire chief MarkSmitton explained that thefire hydrant on 224 Streetwas moved to the west sideof the street during recentdowntown revitalizationconstruction. If the stagewas on McIntosh Street thefire department wouldn’t beable to access the hydrantbecause the section of 224Street in front of MemorialPeace Park is full of vendorsfor the festival. The firedepartment also needs to beable to access the LeisureCentre, The ACT and otherbuildings surrounding theMemorial Peace Park so itneeds to be able to access thering road around the park,he said.
Boekhorst said the festivalwas also forced to limitthe number of vendorsthis year, who all pay fees
to the festival, because ofrestrictions on where thevendors were allowed to setup. They could only be rightin front of Memorial PeacePark.
“The craft vendors arereally what pays for thefestival. We have to raise thefunds. These festivals areall volunteer based. I thinkthat was a big point for theJazz and Blues Festival.(Organizers) could not findenough funding to keep itgoing. It costs a lot of moneyto put together a festivaland it’s really hard with allthese government cuts andthen the economic pressuresto the businesses that arenormally your sponsors,”said Boekhorst.
Boekhorst said therewas also “a little bit ofopposition” from businesseson Spirit Square that didn’twant to see 224 Street closedto traffic because it affectedparking in front of theirstores.
“Spirit Square was reallydeveloped to extend the parkinto the street and now asit turned out the businessesare not really that happy soit seems like a total shamethat we spent all that moneyand all the effort to have thatbeautiful spirit square thereand we can’t really use it,”said Boekhorst.
Boekhorst points out thatthe Caribbean Festival wasdeveloped 10 years ago bybusiness owners to drawpeople into downtown MapleRidge to shop.
“Our intention for thefestivals is to bring peopleto downtown Maple Ridgethat will ultimately all ofa sudden find out thatthere is something indowntown Maple Ridge andmaybe go shopping anduse the services we havedowntown and show themhow beautiful downtownMaple Ridge is. We shouldbe working with tourism,the district, economicdevelopment to bring outmore of these festivalsbecause they showcaseMaple Ridge is what theydo,” she said.
Boekhorst believes festivalsneed more support in orderto continue to thrive andpoints to the demise of thejazz and blues festival – atleast for this year.
“It’s bad that the jazz andblues festival is gone. That’sreally something that had
a history in Maple Ridge. Agreat festival. It’s a shameto see it go and it takesvery little to make a festivaldisappear,” she said.
The TIMES has beenunable to reach organizers ofthe jazz and blues festival forcomment. Boekhorst believesthe district should re-establish a festivals society.
“I think all the festivalsare struggling becausethey’re pretty much on theirown,” she said. “They needsome help where they cancollectively use the resourcesthat are available and thenthey don’t do that struggle allon their own.”
Boekhorst said liabilityinsurance is a major strugglefor festivals because it’s soexpensive. She suggestedthe festivals society couldbuy “umbrella insurance”collectively for all festivals,which could cut down costs.
She would also like tosee the community cometogether and purchase acommunity stage so everyfestival didn’t have to rentstages for their events.
“There’s a lot of stuff wecould do collectively andcould be arranged fromthe district level. It wouldmake it a lot easier to havefestivals,” she said.
Kathryn Baird, recreationcoordinator of events andvolunteers at the District ofMaple Ridge, said, as for theCaribbean Festival, the firedepartment’s main concernwas ensuring the festival
was safe, especially with therecord number of peoplecoming out to partake in thefestival.
“They looked at the layoutand felt it would be better ifthey had their stage in thesouth part of the park,” shesaid. “I thought it workedvery well.”
Baird said the districthas set up a new grant forinaugural events, which hasa simpler grant applicationprocess and some seedmoney to get started.
She pointed to some newevents taking place this year,including the new OspreyVillage Farmers’ Market inPitt Meadows, a lunchtimeconcert series put on by theDowntown Maple RidgeBusiness ImprovementAssociation and Bard on theBandstand performances inPitt Meadows’ Spirit Square.
“The events aren’t reportingany downturn due to theeconomy,” said Baird. “Ithink events are as popularas ever.”
Baird, who was involved inthe creation of the jazz andblues festival, said organizersare re-examining their modeland considering becoming afree festival again.
She acknowledged that theloss of provincial gaminggrants for festivals can be achallenge.
“It’s challenging to havea sustainable plan built ongrants like gaming that areuncertain year to year,” shesaid.

UFV bursting at the seams
The University of the Fraser Valley(UFV) says its campuses arealready filled to capacity – and
beyond.The university expects to operate at
108 per cent of its government-set targetin the coming school year.
It’s not a good situation, Eric Davis,
the university’s vice-president academicsays in a release.
“We do not receive any extra fundingfor critical student services such aslibrary resources, advising, counselling,writing and math centres, student lifeactivities, registration help or evenparking,” the releases states.
The university, which has prided itselfon being an institution that doesn’tscreen out students, is being forced to
become more selective as student line-ups grow, Davis added.
UFV says it overfills virtually everyyear, but this year student numbers areup 11 per cent from last year.
Other schools, such as the Universityof B.C., Simon Fraser University,Langara College and the B.C. Institute ofTechnology, are also reporting increasesin student applications this year, likely aresult of the economic downturn.

Harmonized sales taxopponents rallied inVancouver Sunday, threedays before Elections BCfinishes its review of an anti-HST petition.
Fight HST organized theevent, which saw more than70 people with signs liningboth sides of West GeorgiaStreet from Denman to theStanley Park entrance.
The 12-per-cent sales tax,which replaces the federalgoods and services tax andthe provincial sales tax, cameinto effect on July 1.
“This [rally] is to showBritish Columbians that thisfight is not over,” said EddiePetrossian, one of the eventorganizers.
Johann Baart, a 28-year-old Richmond man, worea B.C. flag as a cape andused an air horn as he helda sign reading “People WantCHANGE.” Baart thinks theHST is a bad tax, but saidhonesty and accountabilityare also important.
“I believe strongly that thegovernment is not listeningto the people. They’ve takena hard line on this andthey’re not listening,” he said
in between supportive honksfrom passing cars.
A short distance away 52-year-old Julie Hunter shouted“Fight the HST, fight fordemocracy,” while waving aB.C. flag.
“I just felt this is a goodopportunity to get themessage out there and get abit of public feeling going,”the Vancouver resident said.
“It’s never too late.”David Huntley, 73, held
two signs as he explained hisreason for rallying:
“We have to put thepressure on the governmentto do the right thing, andwe’re going to keep doing it.”
Huntley stood next to79-year-old veteran LenJohnston.
Johnston said he foughtfor freedom and democracyin Korea, “and I haven’tstopped fighting since.”
“It’s a shame that theLiberal Party has been soshredded and corrupted,”said the longtime Liberalsupporter.
Fight HST regionalorganizer for Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows-Mission,29-year-old Corisa Bell, saidthat people seem more angryabout the tax since July 1.
“It’s definitely caused
people to be more outragedthan before,” she said.
“If people don’t stand upfor what they believe in, thisis the way it’s always goingto be. People need to speakup.”
Former B.C. premier BillVander Zalm launched apetition against the tax onApril 6. The petition needsthe support of 10 per centof registered voters in all 85B.C. ridings to force an HSTrepeal bill into the legislatureor trigger a non-bindingreferendum.
Vander Zalm deliveredmore than 700,000 signaturesto Victoria on June 30.
Elections BC has until Aug.11 to verify signatures on thepetition.
On July 5 VanderZalm launched alawsuit challenging theconstitutionality of the HSTand suggesting that the B.C.cabinet unlawfully imposedthe tax without legislativeauthority.
A hearing for that case isscheduled for Aug. 16 in B.C.Supreme Court in Vancouver.
In June a business coalitionfiled for judicial review ofthe decision to approve theinitiative petition and itsdraft bill in the first place.

I have a big problem withmoles digging through ourlawn. How can this problembe solved?
Raquel Barria,CoquitlamMole control is very difficult.
They don’t like eating baits,they’re very secretive – andthough the feeding tunnels arefairly shallow, the living areacan be up to 18 inches deep.
Some people may suggestyou plant Euphorbia lathyrus.This is also called the ‘Mole Plant’ becauseit’s supposed to deter moles. But if there’ssomething in a feeding tunnel a mole doesn’tlike, it just abandons that one and uses othertunnels instead.
There are many other methods homegardeners may try: mole traps, ultra-sonicdevices, flooding, or placing balls soakedin peppermint oil or castor oil plus laundrydetergent and red pepper oil into the tunnels.
But for every gardener that swears bythese, there’s another gardener that has triedone or many and says they don’t work.
Pest control companies tend to prefer live orkilling mole traps or sometimes fumigation.
Moles love moist, rich soil – the kind that isrich in the earthworms and grubs on whichthey feed. Areas which have long periods ofdry soil seldom have moles.
Unfortunately, even if you can removemoles from your garden, other moles arequite likely to move in – very soon if thefood supply remains good.
Sometimes there’s a nice, long breakbetween infestations but once the foodsupply builds up, moles from elsewhere willopen up the old tunnels and start living inthem again.
If you can find a barn cat that loveshunting, the moles will have a dedicated
enemy with lots of time to devoteto catching and eating them.Cats seem to hear moles movingaround under the soil.
Otherwise, Raquel, you mightbe better off doing nothing.We’ve been living with moles foryears. They’re a nuisance, buttend to vanish suddenly for noapparent reason. Then we havea few months to a year free ofthem before they return. The soilthey churn up can be useful forpotting up transplants.
But if you can’t stand having moles, a pestcontrol company is your best bet. That wayyou’d get some relief for a bit.
We have a brand new bag of gladiolibulbs given us by a friend. May I plantthem in the next few weeks for bloomingnext summer?
Barbara McLean, via e-mailThe big, hybrid gladioli corms aren’t
reliably hardy in this climate. They’re usuallyplanted April to mid-June to flower later inthe summer.
The only way to even hope to get themthrough at this time is to plant them at least5 inches (10 cm) deep in a very well-drained,sheltered place where they can get full sun.Then, if the winter is unusually warm, a fewmay survive.
Even so, they’re not likely to be in goodshape and even less likely to flower.
If they’re fresh corms recently lifted fromyour friend’s garden after flowering, youmight dry them off for a few days, then storethem over the winter in a paper bag or ina cardboard box packed in shredded paper.Check them every month for rot or mildew.They should be planted in April.

Evan Erar, the American humoristonce referred to statistics as “the onlyscience that enables different expertsusing the same figures to drawdifferent conclusions.” Famed hockeycoach Scotty Bowman was probablymore to the point when he claimed,“statistics are for losers.”
In any event, it must be a slownews cycle because statistics aredominating the media these days.Statisticians and the country’sjournalists have blown a gasket aboutthe government’s plans to modify theway data is collected in the long formcensus. On the upside, things must be going prettynice if changes to the census is being talked of as anational crisis.
Apparently the folks working at Statistics Canadaare taking the news so hard that morale is in freefall.Hey guys, if things are so tough you can always walkaway from your government protected job for life,guaranteed pension, 17 bankable sick days a year andgive it a go in the private sector.
But the bigger controversy around statistics is therecently released so-called “crime rate” and what, ifanything, it actually means.
Once again, Abbotsford-Mission was given thedubious distinction of being Canada’s murder capital- a claim so ludicrous that it doesn’t even warrantdiscussion.
Something that does require further analysis,however, is the conclusion from Statistics Canada thatcrime rates are in decline. According to the officialnumbers, there were 920 violent crimes per 100,000people in 2009 compared to 936 in 2008. While thismay be encouraging it’s critical that we rememberthese numbers only refer to crimes reported to police.There are several indicators that fewer people, fora variety of reasons, are willing to report criminalvictimization than in the past.
Nonetheless, according to the federal Liberals,academics, and a host of other apologists for the
criminal class, this is irrefutable evidencethat crime is no longer a concern andthe government’s plans to crack downon violent, repeat offenders should beimmediately disposed of.
Okay, let’s all pretend that the reportedmeagre decline from 2008 to 2009 is 100per cent accurate. Even if that was the case,it still must be noted that violent crime ismore than 300 per cent higher than it wasin 1962 when we started collecting suchstatistics. Similarly, while the soft on crimebrigade never miss an opportunity to notethat property crime has also been decliningin recent years, they strategically fail to
mention that it’s still almost 60 per cent higher thanwas the situation in 1962.
If we throw it all together we see that Canada’sofficial overall crime rate decreased from 6,615offences per 100,000 population in 2008 to 6,406 in2009. But that’s still more than twice the 1962 rate of2,771 reported crimes. So why isn’t this all importantfact being reported?
Probably no single constituency is more negligentand reckless in this deliberate oversight than thecountry’s criminologists. It seems every journalistacross the land has the same dozen criminology“experts” in their list of contacts they always turn tofor insightful commentary each year when StatisticsCanada releases the official crime rate numbers. Likeclockwork, they rattle off the latest stats as absoluteproof that the Conservative’s “get tough on crime”agenda is ill-advised and assure us there’s no crimeproblem whatsoever. Without exception, everycriminologist quoted in the major media following therelease of the latest numbers showing a three per centdecline in overall crime, avoided making a long-termcomparison to the situation in 1962.
It would seem, for this crew, opposing aConservative government is much, much moreimportant than even a semblance of integrity.

❚ Our View
❚ Opinion
Metro Vancouver’s directors voted toperhaps look at burning some of the region’svast flow of trash, rather than burying it inleaky landfills.
The arguments over this could take upnumerous editorials and articles, and nodoubt will over the next few months. Willwaste to energy dump too much soot andpollutants in the Fraser Valley airshed? Aresome residents going to take the brunt whileothers get to breathe clean air? Can thesystem ever be made truly clean?
However, the current system couldn’tcontinue. Burying garbage and hoping itgoes away shows that as a society, we’re nobetter than a six-year-old hiding brusselssprouts under the table to avoid eating them.
As everyone from the Metro Vancouverdirectors to Premier Gordon Campbell hassaid, we need to stop creating so muchgarbage, period. We’re getting pretty good atrecycling (although we could improve) butreducing is where we need to make greatstrides.
This is where everyone from the averagecitizen to the federal and provincialgovernments is going to have to workcollectively. We need to reduce packaging,bags, boxes, and foam peanuts. We need tostop tossing out millions of cardboard coffeecups, paper napkins and burger boxes. Weneed old solutions and new ones to slash theamount of junk we throw out after preparinga meal with supermarket ingredients. Andwhat we can’t eliminate, we need to recyclein an expanded blue box system.
Citizens are going to have to pull up theirsocks and take part, but governments willhave to show some real backbone.
They’ll probably have to put some seriousmoney into this, and they’ll have to facedown the many, many corporations whowon’t want to change.

Editor:I would like to thank you
for printing the story aboutthe missing toys for theCarnival at Heritage Days.
The community responsewas astonishing. We receivedso many toys we haveenough for next year.
Darlene Slevin, the SpecialEvents Assistant for Parks& Leisure, was very muchtouched by the girls whocame with their mothersand donated their toys. Shehad the same experience Ihad when my friends fromCurves Maple Ridge broughtin their children’s toys toshare with the children ofMaple Ridge.
We had a wonderful day forthe carnival and the manychildren and their parentswere so delighted with thefun and wonderful prizes. Itgave those of us who tookpart in this event a lot ofjoy to watch the faces of thepeople. We saw many toysand happy children walkingthrough the park.
What a wonderfulcommunity I live in and oncemore I have been amazed atthe generosity and caring ofthe people of Maple Ridge.
Thank you for sharing.Diane Cougar, committe

Traffic problemsin Hammond
Editor:Re: Hammond rich withhistory, Aug. 3, 2010
I’m writing in response toyour article titled “Hammondrich with history.” I’velived in the area for onlythree years now but fromthe answers given to meregarding why certainnecessary improvementssuch as street lighting,sidewalks and stop lightshaven’t been added it’salways the same excuse...“we are trying to protectthe character of theneighborhood.” This comesfrom longtime residentswho have petitioned variouscouncils over the years.
Excuse my ignorance butany neighborhood with local
access to elementary schoolsand play parks should alwayshave a safe corridor for kidsto walk on.
There are two entry pointsinto my area of Hammond:Lorne and Ditton which bothcross train tracks and haveno stoplights for traffic togive way to pedestrians orother motorists. This alonecreates a huge safety issuefor adults and children tryingto cross Maple Crescent.Anybody who has tried tocross Maple Crescent on abusy day (which is franklyall day, every day) can sayit’s worse than crossingLougheed Highway at night.
It’s worth noting too thatboth Ditton and Lorne havespeeding motorist problems.Basically people in the areabelieve our part of town istheir personal drag strip.
Another safety problemis that only Ditton upto Charlton Street has asidewalk but no connectingpath for pedestrians tofollow deeper into theneighborhood. Again it’s asthough once you cross, thetracks it’s no man’s land.
Why can’t council in MapleRidge understand that youcan protect the character ofthe neighborhood and protectits citizens and children atthe same time?
A simple horseshoe pathof sidewalk leading downboth Ditton and Lorne Avecrossing around the backend of the park off Princessstreet would create a safecorridor for people to enterand exit the area. Thiswould do wonders for momstrying to get their kids toschool safely. Plus addingstoplights at both Lorneand Ditton intersecting withMaple Crescent would be aperfect way to slow downpeople using Maple Crescentas a bypass for LougheedHwy traffic. Or if the cost ofstoplights is too much of anissue for the city perhaps aroundabout at Lorne Avenueand Ditton Street would be adecent compromise?
The Golden Ears Bridgebrought more traffic to thearea but the large majorityof traffic on Maple is stillpeople using it as a way to
get past all the stoplights onLougheed and connect backto the Haney Bypass alongRiver Road. Council mayargue that stoplights wouldcreate a safety hazard inrelation to the train tracksbut how then can theyexplain the stoplights at203rd and Maple Crescent?Why not an uncontrolledintersection there too?
The article noted thatthe people of Hammondneed to come together tofight densification andproperty use changes. I’mof the opinion the people ofHammond who’ve lobbiedfor improvements andchange already in the pastare disillusioned with citycouncil. Why bother raisinga voice at all if it’s just goingto be ignored? If the potentialchanges and densificationbring needed infrastructureupdates then I say bring it on.

More trucks onFord than in
Whispering FallsEditor:
Re: Whispering Folks Loudand Clear, July 30, 2010
Since moving from noisyJohnson Street in Coquitlamover three years ago, wefound the “quiet” area ofFord Road on a Sundayafternoon and moved here.What a mistake.
There are more dump andlogging trucks going upand down Ford Road thanthere ever were on JohnsonStreet up to the Plateau.We don’t mind the area somuch and will stay here butwith trucking companiespaying the City of PittMeadows a “right of access”
to cut through a two-laneresidential neighbourhoodis “unfathomable” as DougBuker puts it.
I’d like to point out that theresidents on Ford Road alsohave a plethora of concerns,including vandalism, garbage,noise, and parking, as well asdrug dealing and loud bikes.Don’t forget we also livebeside an airport. The City ofPitt Meadows is more thanaware of the problems of thisroad yet they do nothing – aslong as council doesn’t haveto live on Ford Road, theydon’t care.
The city recently completeda truck road adjacent toHarris Road and Airport Waybut the trucking companiesdo not want to use this waybecause they already havethe means to drive througha two-lane residentialneighbourhood in closeproximity (and every sooften to drive down behind)an elementary school. Oneafternoon last summer I satout for one hour and counted30 trucks. The trucks arenot just “using” the road but“abusing” the privilege. Thetrucks have all but destroyedthe pavement – our city hastaken no measures to carefor the pavement, just merelypatch it up.
Lastly, the hauling activitytakes place daily (excludingweekends). Beginning somedays as early as 3 a.m. thereare dump trucks with theirponies rumbling through– yet the Harris/Airport routeis largely unused.
I’m sorry that Doug Bukerand the 20+ people areupset about a bit of noise –they’d be a lot more gratefulof their location if they spentsix months on Ford Road.

chosen to represent Canada at the 2010 Mountain Bike and Trials WorldChampionships in Mont-Sainte-Anne, QC on Sept. 5 in the elite women’sCross Country Olympic discipline event.
Ever since the site of the 2010 MTB Worlds was given to the Canadianvenue of Mont-Sainte-Anne, the duo has had the race in their sights. “Itwas announced several years ago that [Mont] Sainte-Anne would getthe Worlds in 2010, and it’s been a goal of mine this whole time,” saidMcKirdy in a media release. “It will be amazing to represent Canada onhome soil.”
McKirdy has strong ties to Mont-Sainte-Anne, having raced there nearlyevery year of her 10-year competitive cycling career for the annual WorldCup series stop, as well as national events. McKirdy and her teammateSandra Walter of Coquitlam have had strong results so far this season,with wins on the provincial road and mountain bike circuits, along withseveral podiums in the Canada Cup series.
“When I’m standing at the starting line at Worlds in September, it’ll bewith the knowledge that I wouldn’t be there without the support of myfamily, friends, and sponsors,” said McKirdy.

Salmonbellies Tyler Crompton and Jamie Floris have words with Burrard Tyler Codron near the end of a line brawl at Planet Ice last Thursday in a 12-7 Burrards’loss. The ‘Bellies extended their first round series lead Saturday night to 2-1 with a 12-9 win over Maple Ridge. Scott McKenzie/TIMES
Burrards’ youth starting to show
Last Thursday, game twoof the Burrards first-roundseries with the Salmonbellieswas a throwback to what theWLA looked like in the late‘90s, when most referred to itas the WWF.
While fans loved all of thefisticuffs – there were 151penalty minutes handedout in the 60-minute game
– it became obvious that theBurrards can’t win a gamewhere the tough guy is moreimportant than the goalscorer.
The ‘Bellies were aheadthe entire time in gametwo, in large part becausethe Burrards were too busytrying to prove themselvesas men to the big New Westteam rather than trying tomount a comeback.
One example of that waswhen Burrards enforcer
Dayne Michaud startedchallenging the entire NewWest bench while the rest ofhis defence was down a manbecause of it.
In their 12-7 loss Thursday,the Burrards gave up fivegoals on eight New Westpower plays. Theoretically,that could have been thedifference between a loss anda tie game.
Thursday’s game, though,was never really in reachfor Maple Ridge as it took
two late meaningless goalsto make the score lookrespectable.
Game three was a differentstory.
It seemed as though bothteams had gotten all ofthe bad blood out of theirsystems and were actuallyready to play lacrosse.
The Burrards still came upshort at Queen’s Park Arenawith a 12-9 loss, but youthended up being the problemthis time around.
by Scott [email protected]
Consider that four of MapleRidge’s top five scorershad never played a WLAplayoff game prior to 2010.Derek Lowe, the only one ofthose five that has playoffexperience, wasn’t in thelineup Saturday night.
Most of the ‘Bellies playedin the Mann Cup last season.
Game three actually lookedreminiscent of game one inNew West with the Burrardsup 4-2 after the first period.
This is where inexperiencemay very well have kickedin, as New West proceededto shut out the second periodwhile scoring six goals oftheir own.
Maple Ridge won the thirdperiod 5-4, but had dugthemselves too deep of ahole to be able to stage acomeback.
Game four happenedlast night after the TIMES’deadline. Although theBurrards were down 2-1going into it, they’re at homein what will have been acrucial turning point in theseason.
If they won, they go back toQueen’s Park in a 2-2 seriestie with another guaranteedhome game.
Losing will have themplaying for their lives in themost hostile environment inthe league.

When it comes tobackpack safety,most people tend to
think about injuries causedby a heavy backpack or oneworn improperly.
However, there are otherdangers associated withbackpacks and cautionshould be used.
Backpacks come in allshapes and sizes and can bea handy tool for students oradults.
When worn correctly, withweight evenly distrubutedacross the back andshoulders, backpacks can besafer and more effective thanusing a purse or briefcase.
But many people wearoverly loaded backpacksslung over one shoulder,which can pose problemswith posture and lead toback issues.
In addition to the physicalstrain backpacks can cause,they can be a danger in otherways.
Many people fail torecognize how much space abackpack can take up.
Entering the tightquarters of a school bus orcommuting on a train or busmeans a bulky backpack can
knock into other people.If that backpack is full of
heavy, cumbersome booksor even a laptop computer,an inadvertent bump by thepack can cause injuries.
Also, backpacks taken offand placed in bus aisles canbe a tripping hazard.
Students also can beinjured if a heavy pack fallson them.
Children tucking backpacksinto lockers or classroomcubbies may find that theyslide out and hit anotherclassmate.
Backpacks change the wayindividuals walk.
Because the person iscarrying around extra weight,he or she may lose balanceor trip and fall, especially
when going down steps.To avoid these secondary
hazards from backpacks,consider these tips.
* Don’t overload abackpack. Carry only whatis necessary. If too manybooks are the issue, parentsshould talk to the schooladministrators and teachersto reach a happy mediumregarding textbook usage.
* When on the bus, safelystore the backpack on a lapor under the seat. Be surestraps or the pack itself is notextending into the aisle.
* Avoid rolling backpacks,which can be difficult toroll. Some schools ban thesestyles because of trippinghazards.
* Recognize how muchspace the backpack takes upwhen worn. Be conscious ofothers when turning aroundor entering a confined space.
* Hold on to stair rails anddo not run with a heavybackpack to help avoid slipsand falls.
* Choose a lightweightbackpack. Canvas backpacksare generally lighterin weight than leatherbackpacks. Do not add extraweight unnecessarily.
